Press tips: Ladbrokes, BAE Systems

By Sharecast, 17 February 2012

In the Times Ladbrokes boss Richard Glynn gets a slap on the back for bringing in profits and revenues for full year 2011 better than expected. He walked away from deals for 888 Holdings and Sportingbet and now makes the argument that the Internet revolution has happened, whoever is coming in to his betting shops is going to keep on coming. With that in mind, Ladbrokes is worth a punt thinks Tempus (Last IC rating: Buy, 16 Feb).

The Telegraph's Questor column takes a stand for its long held buy rating for BAE Systems . There isn't much that would shock long time BAE investors. It sells the most deadly machines on earth and was implicated in vice and corruption scandals as it sought to maintain market share, but Questor argues the financials are sound. BAE trades on just 8.3 times forward earnings and yields 6.1 per cent, even after Thursday's less than stellar results. With a company policy of returning cash to shareholders, often through buybacks, Questor shoots from the hip and orders readers to buy (Last IC rating: Buy, 3 Feb).
