This list is updated weekly.

Share tips 2025: top picks of the week

Four to buy

1. GSK (LSE: GSK)
The Telegraph
Although GSK’s shares have declined 9% since last June, the pharmaceuticals giant has delivered a “worthwhile” income. GSK’s dividend is “highly affordable” and growing at a faster pace than inflation, while its yield is higher than the FTSE 100’s. The “cheap” share price compensates for geopolitical risks, and there is scope for a rerating as it bolsters its new drug pipeline. GSK’s capital growth and income-investing appeal offer significant long-term potential. 1,383p

2. Arbuthnot Banking Group (LSE: ARBB)
This is Money
Arbuthnot Banking Group traditionally works with wealthy individuals, lending them money and offering advice. Although lending in some divisions fell this year, lowering half-year profits, this may be “just a short-term blip”. Arbuthnot’s prospects are “strong”, and it has “plenty of cash”. The bank hiked the half-year dividend by 10% to 22p, which puts the stock on a 5.6% yield. It is “extremely cheap” compared with peers and suitable for investors with a “long-term horizon”. 995p

3. Wolters Kluwer (AMS: WKL)
Shares
This Dutch information, software, and digital services provider boasts a “gold mine” of high-quality data in various sectors, including health, tax, and accounting. Wolters has achieved a 27% operating margin. It is utilising AI tools and has partnered with Microsoft for advanced AI applications. It offers “techlike” growth potential with recurring revenue and earnings, but at a lower valuation than its peers. €120

4. Glencore (LSE: GLEN)
Investors’ Chronicle
Glencore has produced “rather drab” interim results. The miner’s adjusted cash profits fell 17% to $3.8 billion, a result of lower coal prices and copper output. Total cash profits fell 14% to $5.4 billion, and borrowings rose. Nonetheless, Glencore plans to make cost savings of around $1 billion and reduce its workforce by 2026. Easing trade tensions may help revive demand from industry in the second half of the year, and the stock is undervalued. 288p

The rest...

1. Schroders (LSE: SDR)
Investor's Chronicle
Schroders, which has embarked on a turnaround programme, generated £4.5 billion of new business in the first half of the year, mainly from the wealth management and capital units, as the market backdrop improved. Total assets under management remained steady at £776 billion. The investment manager is moving closer to its £150 million goal in annual savings and has jettisoned some businesses. Schroders has hired a new wealth management boss and expanded the capital team. A low valuation suggests the market hasn’t recognised its improvements. Buy (393p).

2. Just Group (LSE: JUST)
The Telegraph
Life-insurance expert Just Group has received a 220p-a-share bid from Brookfield Wealth Solutions. The offer price constitutes a 78% premium to Just Group’s share price before the announcement and represents a near-15% discount to the company’s net asset value (NAV) per share of 254p. The stock’s “failure” to rise above the offer price suggests the market does not expect a higher counterbid, as Just Group has recommended Brookfield’s £2.4 billion offer. “Patient” investors should wait for the deal to close, which is expected to occur in the first half of 2026. Hold (210p).

3. Manx Financial Group (LSE: MFX)
This is Money
Manx Financial Group combines mainstream lending and deposit-taking with specialist divisions. Manx owns 95% of Ninkasi, which leases fermentation tanks and carbon-capture kits to craft brewers so they can expand. It also owns Payment Assist, which offers buy-now, pay-later loans to help motorists spread the cost of car repairs. The firm posted record full-year results, including a 48% increase in the dividend to 0.68p. At this level, the shares are a “firm buy” (30p).
