Despite a few shaky moments (April, someone?), Many Great Britain stocks They charged fees in 2025, in the case of how long it will last, it cannot be said – we can even be on the verge of a monumental fall in both prices and sentiments.
But this uncertainty does not stop me from developing a list of companies that I would like to buy at lower prices if/when the wave reverses.
What I’m looking for
I don’t ask much now. I do not care about trying to predict another unicorn technology. Correct name would be nice. But the probability of this is (very) low.
Instead, I am looking for high -quality companies that have a good chance of increasing my wealth in the long term. I say “a good chance” because there is no guarantee. Earlier results do not dictate future phrases.
But this is what matters.
In practice, this means connecting companies with vast brands, leading on the market and fat margins.
This means searching for companies in Fine Financial Fettle.
This means looking for companies with realistic strategies of growing revenues and profits in the future.
Top of British Pops
One example is a fantastic figurine producer Games Workshop (LSE: GAW).
. Warhammer 40,000 The owner was a spectacular investment in a long -term perspective. Even today, its results regarding customary financial indicators blow up most shares in the UK from water. It also satisfies all the features described above, at least in my opinion.
But I’m not alone thinking about it. Interestingly, at the beginning of August, CEO Kevin Rountree bought almost 400,000 pounds of action. In previous years he applied similar amounts to work.
Sure, he doesn’t lack a few beans. But I would say that this is a good sign, if someone based in the first place of the company’s results increases his participation.
There is no certainty
Of course, things could solve Games workshops as much as they could for every stock market company. Sure, fans still pay for hundreds despite the crisis of living costs. But it may not last. Inflation bubble and who knows what Chancellor Rachel Reeves can reveal in her upcoming budget.
We must also remember about the valuation. The price index for profit (P/E) of 27 for the current budget year is high. And the high -value rules, which are the most hard when the markets fall. I would prefer to buy if it sank in the amount of teenagers or lower.
But these fears are exactly the reason why the 4.8 billion GBP limit is not the only British company in which I ran the principle. To reduce the risk, I am also looking for “the best of the best” stocks in other sectors.
This safety approach in numbers-also known as diversification-will not stop total pain if the markets are stroked below. But this may be enough to prevent me from making stupid, impulsive decisions if one or two really suffered.
Be careful
It seems that share prices this year have become more and more detached from economic reality. Perhaps it will last until 2026, maybe “this time it really is different”.
Personally, I’m not convinced. Human psychology and basic economics decide that each side ends at some point. Thinking from the front and considering the worst script-how to exploit it-I get cautious.
