I believe these FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 shares are among the many hottest progress shares to purchase right now. It’s why I’ve already snapped them up in my Shares and Shares ISA.
Right here’s why I reckon they are going to assist me construct spectacular long-term wealth.
Bunzl
Bunzl (LSE:BNZL) isn’t the sort of share that may ever ship spectacular earnings progress. However for traders in search of dependable income enchancment nearly yearly, this firm could also be arduous to beat.
I purchased it myself for its status as a SWAN (‘sleep nicely at night time’) inventory. The wide selection of important merchandise it sells throughout quite a lot of industries — together with the ultra-defensive healthcare and meals sectors — permits it to develop earnings even throughout powerful occasions.
Bunzl additionally has a superb file of success in the case of acquisitions, giving it additional power to develop the underside line. The Footsie agency has round 150 totally different companies below its umbrella. And its sturdy steadiness sheet provides it loads of firepower to continue to grow its operational and international footprint.
Immediately Bunzl shares commerce on a ahead P/E ratio of round 15.4 occasions. This can be a little forward of the FTSE 100 common of 11 occasions. Nevertheless, the assist companies enterprise trades across the mid-point vary for its sector, suggesting that it provides cheap worth right now.

Bunzl must preserve peddling arduous to maintain a lid on prices. However all issues thought-about I count on it to stay a powerful progress share. So do Metropolis analysts: they presently count on earnings to rise 1% and three% in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Video games Workshop
Whereas Bunzl is a ‘sluggish and regular’ choice, tabletop gaming specialist Video games Workshop (LSE:GAW) is something however.
The FTSE 250 firm has seen its share value soar an unbelievable 1,280% in simply 5 years. I’m satisfied it is going to be a proud member of the FTSE 100 by the tip of the last decade.
Greatest recognized for its Warhammer 40,000 gaming system, the enterprise designs, manufactures and sells gaming techniques and related miniatures. It has constructed a worldwide neighborhood of followers who spend small fortunes to construct, paint, after which battle with their armies.
Whereas this can be a specialist pastime, it’s a quick rising (and extremely profitable) one which Video games Workshop is a market chief in. As the corporate has expanded its international presence revenues have grown at a powerful charge, because the chart under exhibits.

As an investor (and Warhammer fan) I’m particularly excited by plans to convey its mental property to the display. It’s in talks with Amazon to make programmes and movies, a transfer that would turbocharge curiosity in its fashions and generate large revenues in its personal proper.
Metropolis brokers assume earnings right here will rise 7% on this present monetary yr (to Might 2024). A 6% rise is forecast for FY25 too. I believe it’s a prime potential purchase regardless of the continued menace that 3D printing poses to demand for its costly mannequin units.
