. FTSE 100 The index of leading actions in Great Britain reached the highest level at the beginning of this year.

Since then it has fallen, but after 14% of profit from last month now looks temptingly close to returning to aged amounts. Over time, I think it can move even higher. Here are three index actions that can aid him get there.

Diploma

It is unusual to see how the FTSE action rose 19% in one day. But it happened today (May 20) Diploma (LSE: DPLM) A very robust set of fleeting results served.

Konglomerate recorded an raise in revenues in the first half by 14% year on year, and the basic profit per share increased by 66%. Free cash flows were 26% higher. The company increased the fleeting dividend to the action by 5%, which means that it was nearly four times based on basic earnings.

The company has proved that its model can be both profitable and increased growth. And despite the good results in recent years, I think that the diploma can only start. With revenues in the first half, much below 1 billion pounds, I see a significant space for development.

But the price for profit (p/e) of 50 is too high for my comfort. FTSE is facing the risk of tariff disputes and frail demand in some areas. This helps to explain why its division of seal did not record organic growth in the first half, in contrast to the divisions of natural sciences and controls divisions.

But although I will wait for a lower price of shares before buying, if the diploma works perfectly, I think that it can aid drive the FTSE 100 raise.

Diageo

Another type of growth may result from recovery in combat. If the distiller and brewer Diageo (LSE: DGE) can simply return to the share price a year ago, which would mean 31% raise from today’s level.

Of course, this drop in stock price did not occur for no reason.

From the needy demand of Latin America to the hard market of donation ghosts in connection with economic uncertainty, diageo is dealing with fires on many fronts – and it looks like they still risk profitability.

But the portfolio of the company’s unique premium brands, from Johnnie Walker Down GuinnessGive him robust price power. It has a global distribution system and there are always many thirsty customers looking for beer or spirit.

WPP

One share of FTSE 100, which I bought during the last stock market slowdown, is a networking group WPP (LSE: WPP).

With a 28% decrease in stock price over the past year – even allowing 23% raise in the last month – the company clearly lost fans in the city.

Is it surprising? After all, the needy economy threatens advertising budgets, while AI is potentially an existential crisis for immense parts of the advertising industry, which may become unnecessary.

Still, there may be an opportunity in crisis. AI can allow WPP to reduce costs by helping profit margins.

Meanwhile, WPP has a significant economy of scale, a immense list of customers and imaginative possibilities, which, I think, remain necessary by artificial intelligence.

Its p/E indicator of 12 means that at least in this indicators the valuation is sold for less than a quarter of the current diploma valuation.
