Vet practice owner CVS is set to benefit from the UK's status as a nation of animal lovers. While the company is not immune from the slowdown, owners are still prepared to spend large sums of money on their pets' health. CVS only has 8% of the vet market for small animals but keen to grow - and the firm could attract bid interest. Buy at 142p.
Biotech firm Immupharma's most developed drug is Lupuzor, which treats the potentially fatal disease lupus. Early signs over the drug have been encouraging and the firm has received recent banking from US pharmaceutical company Cephalon. New investors should consider coming in at 83.5p.
Sunday Times
Home Retail Group
Home Retail Group, the Argos and Homebase owner, plunged into the red in the year to the end of February, but better news is expected this week. Warm weather will help Homebase's sale of outdorr goods, but Argos' sales are expected to be slightly down on a like-for-like basis.
However, while the internet was supposed to kill off Argos and its catalogue model, it has actually turned into a saviuor with customers checking out goods online, then collecting in store. HRG shares have lagged the sector but the group is a strong cash generator and while buying shares in a retailer may be a brace move in a fragile economy, for existing investors at 250p they are a good medium-term hold.
Property company Workspace is a landlord for small and medium businesses, which have performed better than expected. Unfortunately, properties are worth 30% less than a year ago and shares have slumped almost 90% to 14.7p. One to avoid for now.
Sunday Telegraph
Aberdeen oil and gas services firm Wood Group has said this year will be challenging as exploration and production spending dips. But although some major projects are being delayed, most major oil companies are committed to investing through the downturn - which is good news for Wood. The firm also raised its 2008 dividend, with scope for further increases. Buy at 296.5p.
Supermarket giant Tesco is tipped because shares are cheaper compared to its rivals in the sector, Morrisons and Sainsbury's. Although the firm's new US business is struggling at present, Tesco's international profile also gives it a long-term growth opportunity not enjoyed by its competitors. Investors should buy at 363.5p.
