Small or less known companies can have significant growth potential. At the beginning, buying shares in these companies listed on the UK list can bring high profits if they return. But which should be taken into account? Read …
What he does: Metals from Central Asia is a producer of basic metals with copper operations in Kazakhstan and a zinc and lead mine in northern Macedonia.
Paul Summers. Action owners Metals in Central Asia (LSE: CAML) survived the unstable 2024. For a year for just over 150 pence, the actions increased by up to 235 pence, when the company used forceful prices and solid operational results. However, this profit was lost until the end of December. As far as I know, this is due to general geopolitical fears and destitute demand for lead.
Actions now bring a 10% monster for a budget year25. Assuming that the analysts are not wrong, it would represent a good return on its own. The profit is expected to include this distribution of cash and the balance looks solid.
Although the growing costs may be problematic, the price rate for profit (P/E) of seven suggests that a lot of negativity is already valued. When the mood for basic metals improves, the actions can do very well.
Paul Summers has no position in metals in Central Asia.
Filetic
What does it do: filtronic creates amplifiers and transmitters transmitters that are used in telecommunications, air and defense sectors.
Ben McPoland. With a market capital in the amount of 232 million pounds when I write, Filetic (LSE: FTC) is still a relatively sub-advice action in Great Britain. To say that, he has recently been popular, he increased by 172% over the past year.
This can be almost completely put on one word: Spacex. This is because the multiple -use rocket company orders Elon Musk’s components from Filtronic to ground stations, which are part of the rapidly developing Starlink satellite network.
In the future, SpaceX intends to add tens of thousands of other satellites to its mega-condom. This can support the years of growing sales in Filtronic, taking into account its petite size (less than 50 million pounds of income).
What could go wrong? Well, the loss of the SpaceX contract he signed last year would be extremely negative, because this key customer now brings about 50% of sales.
In addition, the shares are not economical, trading after multiples of the price forward for profits.
Finally, the company has no history of lasting revenues and an escalate in earnings. This may change, but in the future there may be a nodule, because SpaceX orders flow and flow.
Ben McPoland has no action in Filtronic.
Oxb
What he does: OXB is a contractor who develops and produces generate genes for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.
Author: Mark Hartley. Oxb (LSE: OXB), formerly Oxford Biomedica, is a British organization of development and contract production (CDMO) specializing in cell and gene therapies. It was founded in 1995 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford and transformed into a global leader in the field of production of viral vectors, including lentivirus, a virus associated with ADENO (AAV) and Adenovirus.
As an OXB contractor, it consists in securing partnerships with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. If he loses their contracts with competitors, he can affect his results. Although his net margin has recently succumbed, the company is not yet profitable. If year -round results for 2024 waiting contracts, this may harm the price of shares.
However, a recent trade update presented expectations for a 78% escalate in ecological revenues for the 2014 budget year, based on the growing demand for their CDMO services. In addition, the order book has almost doubled since August 2024, which indicates forceful commercial demand.
I expect to become a world leader in my field.
Mark David Hartley is the owner of the campaign at Oxford Biomedica.
TBC Bank
What does it do: TBC Bank is exchanged on FTSE 250 and provides financial services in Georgia and Uzbekistan.
Author: Roiston Wild. TBC Bank (LSE: TBCG) does not attract anywhere close to the same degree of attention as FTSE 100 companies like LloydsIN Barclays AND Nestwest.
However, it is a bank that-thanks to focusing on rapidly developing Georgian and Uzbekistani markets-can ensure much better shareholder profits.
Earlier results are not a reliable guide to future phrases. But the explosion of TBC Bank share prices in the last five years emphasizes its amazing investment potential.
For comparison, the price of Lloyds shares increased only 21% in the same period.
Considering various economic perspectives for Great Britain and Georgia, I expect that they exceed it. While the IMF believes that the economy of Great Britain will escalate by 1.1% in 2025, Georgian GDP is increased by 6%, continuing the trend of the last decades.
If it is exact, earnings in TBC may escalate as the demand for financial services increases. The profit before taxation jumped here 15.8% in 2024.
The deterioration of the brittle political landscape of Georgia may affect future growth. However, I believe that the potential threat is baked at a low price to profit (P/E) of 5.2 times.
Roiston Wild has no action in any of the above -mentioned actions.
Yu group
What does it do: Yu provides gas and electricity to British business clients and installs and supports clever meters.
Roland Head. Yu group (LSE: Yu.) It provided a forceful growth through a volatile period for energy markets.
Revenues increased five times to 578 million GBP since 2019. The knownness has also improved, and operating profit increased from 3.5 million GBP in 2021 to 47 million GBP in 12 months to 30 June 2024.
Yu is still run by its founder and 51% shareholder Bobby Kalar. I believe that the double role of Kalara as the general director and the main shareholder means that he will probably maintain strict financial discipline.
This is a key risk for energy suppliers. Yu is exposed to enormous swings of goods prices, well debts and financial threats related to eternal contracts.
Growing employ of clever meters, fresh energy trading agreement Shell And falling uncollectible debt levels suggest that Mr. Kalar manages this business worth 252 million pounds.
If he can do this, a prize for shareholders can be higher profits and generous dividends.
Roland Head is the owner of the action at the Yu Group.
