. FTSE 100 It can fly, but I still see many inexpensive actions in the index that is worth buying. I noticed three that look really good, measured in relation to profit (p/e), but that’s not all. Although I think that investors may consider buying two of them, I can’t say the same about the third.

HSBC SOAR shares

In my opinion, HSBC Holdings (LSE: HSBA) still looks good, despite the star run. The bank concentrated in Asia increased by 45% last year and 185% in five years. He awarded investors with another generous redemption program of USD 3 billion, but trades in low P/E ratio only 10.05. The price indicator for the book is 1.2, which seems modest.

After saying, the last six months the results were disappointing on paper, from 27% profit of profit before taxing to USD 15.8 billion, reduced by an impairment of USD 2.1 billion at its Bank of Communications Bank of Communications and a fee for USD 400 million related to the weakness of commercial real estate in Hong Kong.

Despite these failures, the corrected profits overcome expectations thanks to the strength of property management. Chinese economic perspectives are uneven, Donald Trump’s tariffs do not assist here and like any investment, future growth is not guaranteed. But every supply has a risk and they look like me. A solid balance helps here.

JD Sports to Flop FTSE 100

Sports JD fashion (LSE: JD) has recorded a decrease in stock price over the past year and 45% within two years after a few ugly warnings of profits.

It now has one of the lowest P/ES in FTSE 100 at just 6.95. It’s incredibly inexpensive for a profitable company, but there are still challenges.

All -year results on May 21 showed that profit dropped by 11.8% to 715 million GBP. American Operation JD Sports, currently its largest profit engine, is under pressure, has worsened problems with the key partner Nike. Trump’s tariff uncertainty and cost crisis generally harmed consumers’ sentiments.

JD Sports remains highly generalizing cash, bringing 2.37 billion pounds in the last two years. Investors may consider buying, but requires patience. Until the tariff threats are alleviated, JD Sports can fight for catching up.

WPP Stock scares me

I am not interested in touching WPP (LSE: WPP) At the moment. The advertising giant may seem inexpensive for a profit for a profit of only 7.8, but this is a good reason.

Yesterday (August 7) WPP said that the profit before tax in the first half fell by 71% to 98 million GBP. Weaker advertising expenses, customer losses (including gigantic weapons Coca-Cola AND Most vital), and the tariffs cause grave pain. The shares have dropped by 44% over the past year, and now they are for 10 years.

Do not be fooled by the final dividend performance of 10.56%. The Council has just reduced the transitional dividend to 7.5Pa shares. The incoming general director of Cindy Rose, which replaces the Read brand on September 1, has a massive challenge.

My biggest worry is that artificial intelligence allows potential customers to create their own ads by squeezing out creations. WPP is still one of the world’s largest advertising companies with decades of experience, but it will need all this and more to get out of here.

Still, two of the three are not bad. Investors may consider shopping HSBC and JD Sports, but I think they require a minimum of five years of view. Personally, I avoid WPP.
