With Christmas is just around the corner, Ian Forrest, investment research analyst at The Share Centre, gives his tips on the 12 companies that could offer investors a present this festive season.
1. Sainsbury's
The acquisition of Home Retail, owner of Argos, puts Sainsbury’s in a strong position this Christmas according to Forrest.
The supermarket giant it enters the annual festive battle against the likes of Tesco and Asda from a strong base, with its new control of Argos seen as a way of competing with online retailers such as Amazon.
Forrest said: “Given the fierceness of competition in the sector, Sainsbury continues to perform well at the checkout with market share currently standing at 16.3%.”
