FTSE 250 The shares were caught in recent stock exchange variability, with the index to fall by 4% in the last month. While some can see it as a shame, I see it as an opportunity to buy.
I always employ my own Intel before buying any shares and I would never rely on artificial type. But I’m also curious. So I asked Chatgpt to mention two FTSE 250 actions that had the opportunity to recover after struggling for some time.
Can Marshalls fight?
The first choice was the British supplier of landscape and construction products Marshalls (LSE: MSHL). It certainly fought. The shares fell by 18% in one year and 60% above five.
My first thought is that it fought too much for my preference. However, it is undeniably affordable, with a price ratio (P/E) of only 7.57.
Chatgpt said Marshalls had published “A significant increase in previous economic increases, reaching the market value of 1.5 billion GBP”. The cost crisis inevitably hit him strenuous.
2024 revenues dropped by 7.7% to 671 million GBP, what “It reflects lower demand from houses construction and continuation of muffled activity in private repairs, maintenance and improvements”According to Marshalls.
The council reduced the net debt by 23% to 134 million GBP and expects the corrected profit before taxation of 2024 for 2024. There is in anticipation of markets from 52 million GBP to 53.7 million GBP. Efficient efficiency increased to 3.38%.
Do I agree with AI? I’m afraid not. Inflation and interest rates remain stubbornly high, which will achieve the housing market. Marshall must absorb the employer’s social insurance and minimum wage increases from April. I think there is a recovery game here, just not yet.
Breedon shares are jumping
The second choice of chatgpt was in the same sector, so I assumed that it would be the subject of the same challenges. But instead, his shares were tears.
Building Materials Company Breedon group (LSE: BREE) does not meet the criteria I gave chatgpt at all. His shares have increased by 27% over the past year, and stunning 545% above five. It is a supply of rush, not a recovery game. CHATGPT answers remain as unpredict as always.
Breedon has “They grew significantly in 17 years thanks to strategic acquisitions”My unbelievable robot buddy tells me. He opposes the national darkness in Great Britain, expanding to the US, buying BMC Enterprises for USD 300 million and Lionmark Construction for USD 238 million.
Today he is fighting on the US Stock Exchange, although Breedon has avoided the last sale. Its share price increased by 7% in the last month. However, p/e is relatively modest 13.88.
Breedon was strengthened by year -round 2024 results, published on March 5, which showed the basic EBITDA by 11% to 270 million GBP. However, volumes fell by 6% due to the weaker market of Great Britain (deterioration of our suspicious weather).
Another problem is that the net debt increased by 235 million GBP to 405 million GBP, mainly due to the takeover of BMC. Breedon is a banger, but I would not call it a recovery supply. Besides, I feel that I have missed my emotions.
That chatgpt is an engaging orthosis. They are at very different stages of their growth cycles. Both are worth considering, but I would not buy any stocks based on AI online networks. I will do my own research and see what people think too.
