LONDON (ShareCast) - House broker Dresdner Kleinwort says Keller will reach 1385p in the next 12 months, which looks a little ambitious. They are right that the shares are on an upward trajectory, however. Investors take heed: the sooner you buy, the more you will make. Buy, recommends the Independent.

At 342¼p, or 14 times next year’s earnings, and with its British business flat and sales not wholly immune to economic slowdown – whether in fine dining or through lower employment – short-term investors may wish to book profits in Compass, says the Times.

National Grid is not going to win an award for being exciting, but in the present market, the company is as good a bet as any. Buy, says the Independent.

Costs are rising - as they are for all miners - but the strong trends in production and pricing give Petra confidence that the future, like its stones, is sparkling. After recent weakness, the shares look attractively priced for growth. Buy, says the Telegraph.

Many investors will be more cautious, particularly with Cains warning that full-year losses will be woeful. Sell, says the Independent.

Pace shares, having had a good run in recent weeks, lost some momentum yesterday. There is still no dividend to speak of, but trading on 12.4 times forecast earnings, the shares look better value than they have done for some time. Worth another viewing, says the Telegraph.

The Telegraph says in March, it tipped Pearson as an opportunistic buy. Since then the price has fallen, in line with other media stocks, by over 80 to 606p, but it remains one of the more dependable companies in its sector. Investors with a longer-term view should hold on. The Times also says hold.

With other property-related stocks cheaper still, WSP is no more than a hold, says the Times.
