Shareholders of Sirius Minerals (LSE: SXX) yesterday voted to accept a £405m offer for the company from FTSE 100 mining giant Anglo American (LSE: AAL). It wasn’t a great surprise. The alternative was placing the company into administration.The deal with Anglo promises to secure the development of a vast polyhalite mine under the North York Moors. This will bring significant economic benefits to the region, and a multi-nutrient fertiliser to the world. However, an army of small shareholders stand to lose savings and pension money. This is because many invested at much higher prices than the 5.5p a share they’ll be getting back.5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…I know plenty of shareholders are angry with the Sirius Minerals board, but still have great belief in the project itself. So should those seeking to maintain a financial interest in it — and new investors attracted to exposure to it now its future is more secure — buy shares in Anglo American?Impressive projectThe polyhalite mine is an impressive and massive undertaking. It involves sinking two mine shafts to depths of up to 5,250ft, and building a 23-mile underground conveyor belt to take polyhalite to Teesside for processing and export. It’s expected further investment of over $3bn is needed to complete it.Anglo American has the necessary financial resources, as well as considerable technical and product marketing capabilities. How will the polyhalite mine fit into its business and how substantial a part of the business will it be?Diversification and valuationAnglo is a diversified miner, and reckons the acquisition of Sirius “supports our ongoing transition towards supplying those essential metals and minerals that will meet the world’s evolving needs — in terms of the undoubted need for cleaner energy and transport, and providing infrastructure and food for the world’s fast-growing and urbanising population.”Anglo’s shares are currently trading at around 1,950p. Investors at this price are buying into a company with a market capitalisation of £26.6bn, and an enterprise value (EV) of £30.2bn. EV is a company’s market cap plus its net debt. Anglo’s net debt at the year-end 31 December was $4.6bn (£3.6bn at current exchange rates).Meanwhile, its net assets stood at $31.4bn (£24.5bn). Revenue for the year was $29.9bn (£23.4bn), and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was $10bn (£7.8bn).As such, the stock is trading at a price-to-net assets ratio of 1.09, a price-to-revenue ratio of 1.14, and an EV/EBITDA ratio of 3.9. The valuation appears very reasonable to me. And the balance sheet is strong, with net debt at less than 0.5 times EBITDA.Substantial additionWhat does the acquisition of Sirius bring to the party? It’s reckoned the mine could generate annual revenue of $3bn a year at full production, with EBITDA of around $2.35bn. On a pro forma basis, the mine would account for about 9% of Anglo’s total revenue, and — due to its projected high margin — a substantial 19% of Anglo’s total EBITDA.I think Anglo is an attractive business, with polyhalite sitting alongside diverse other assets. Furthermore, with the company’s strong balance sheet, reasonable valuation, and a running dividend yield of 4.4%, the shares look very buyable to me.

Our 6 ‘Best Buys Now’ Shares The stock market crash might appear to be the worst time to start investing in stocks and shares. At time of writing, the FTSE 100 index is trading at just above 5,000 levels. This is an over 24% drop from the start of March and an over 33% drop from the start of 2020. But I think it would be one of the best times to invest my first £500. Here’s why.The choicest FTSE 100 stocks are available at huge discounts. I reckon that with quantitative easing underway, financial markets may well be in a much better place sooner than it appears likely right now. In fact, prices of select stocks have already risen sharply in the past few days. So the time to buy these shares is right now. 5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…Online delivery companies’ star’s risingOne example is the FTSE 100 online grocer Ocado and another is the food delivery company Just Eat Takeaway.com. Both companies’ share prices have been rising since the end of last week as people order online to self-isolate the best they can.At time of writing, OCDO’s price is almost 25% up from last week and JET’s price has risen by 10%. I like these shares because of their long-term potential thanks to increased use of online services. I think that barring brief corrections, their prices are more likely to rise overtime than not.But if you think that their price has run up a lot already, I won’t blame you. After all, OCDO is now trading at close to the highest levels in 2020. Beaten down FTSE 100 consumer defensives are good buys The good news is that there are plenty more FTSE 100 shares to consider. As public places close down as a precautionary measure, alcohol stocks like those of Diageo are taking a beating. While delivery companies’ stocks have risen over the past week, DGE is down by 14.4%.Consumer defensive shares are normally spared the worst brunt of economy driven meltdowns, but the coronavirus has managed to hit DGE this time. Yet, from a long-term perspective I believe this is one stock that’ll give great investment returns. This is based on its market leadership position, its past financial health, and the potential for quick bounce-back in demand once the pandemic is behind us. Consider cyclicals in this stock market crashIf you have the stomach for it right now, consider cyclicals too. Specifically, I’m talking about FTSE 100 real estate companies. Their share prices had a sharp run-up after the election results came out in December last year. If that left you, like me, feeling like you’d missed the rally, then the time to invest in them is now.Real estate share prices have dropped dramatically. One example is Persimmon, a share I have suggested buying in the past. Since last week alone, its price has fallen by over 36%. Of course property will be one of the worst hit segments if the recession well and truly sets in. So, investing in PSN will be an exercise in patience. But as investors in the stock would have discovered at the end of last year, the rewards of patience may well be worth it.

Our 6 ‘Best Buys Now’ Shares “This Stock Could Be Like Buying Amazon in 1997” Jonathan Smith owns shares in Lloyds Banking Group.

Views expressed on the companies mentioned in this article are those of the writer and therefore may differ from the official recommendations we make in our subscription services such as Share Advisor, Hidden Winners and Pro. Here at The Motley Fool we believe that considering a diverse range of insights makes us better investors. Forget the gold and oil price! Here’s why I’m banking on a Lloyds share price rally
I’m sure you’ll agree that’s quite the statement from Motley Fool Co-Founder Tom Gardner.But since our US analyst team first recommended shares in this unique tech stock back in 2016, the value has soared.What’s more, we firmly believe there’s still plenty of upside in its future.

Jonathan Smith | Friday, 24th April, 2020 | More on: LLOY Simply click below to discover how you can take advantage of this. Enter Your Email Address Just when you think that we could be in for a tame week in financial markets, along comes some volatility! Over the past few weeks we have seen this in the gold price and the oil price. For me, I’d rather steer clear of both and instead look to the Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY) share price.The oil price collapse is fresh at the moment. On Monday evening, the contract for WTI (West Texas Intermediate) oil for May delivery dropped below $0. This was something which many people thought was impossible. This meant the price dropped more than 100% in a single day. 5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…Looking at gold, earlier this month the precious metal hit highs not seen for almost 10 years. It is up almost 8% in the past month, following a surge in demand for a safe-haven asset for investors to buy.Why stocks over commodities?For me, stock movements are a lot more predictable than commodity prices. You can analyse a company, along with the financial statement, current market conditions, new product launches and more and make a reasonable assumption of a subsequent share price rally. This is not the same for commodities.Oil for example is notoriously volatile and unpredictable. It is governed far more by physical demand and supply, along with trading technicalities (such as futures contracts). You also have to take the cost of storage into account for both gold and oil, which is not the case when investing in the stock market.Why invest in Lloyds shares?A lot has been written recently on the slump in the Lloyds share price. It has fallen over 50% from the start of 2020. There is one large reason for this. It has been due to the impact of the coronavirus on consumers. People like you and I have been in lockdown now for over a month. Spending on our credit and debit cards have dried up and applications for new mortgages halted. At a business level, these spending cuts have been seen as well.Lloyds is the largest retail bank in the UK and does not have the investment banking capabilities of the likes of Barclays and HSBC. This factor has made it painful for revenues and profit. Yet the reason for the share price slump is exactly the reason I think it could rally.The stock market recovery is expected to be a ‘V’ shape, in that the sharp move lower will bounce with a sharp move back higher. We may already be starting to see this, with the FTSE 100 up around 12% in the past month. If we get a reopening of the UK economy over the next month or so, Lloyds is going to be one of the first firms to really benefit.As soon as consumers get back out, and have the ability to spend via businesses being open, profitability for Lloyds should bounce.I also would not wait until this happens to buy the stock. Currently it has a P/E ratio of around 9, and a price-to-book ratio of 0.44. These are historically low levels to buy for the longer term. See all posts by Jonathan Smith

“This Stock Could Be Like Buying Amazon in 1997” Image source: The Motley Fool It would be easy to take the many bits of hard-won investment advice from Warren Buffett for granted. He’s delivered his gems over the years in such a relaxed style, that sometimes they sound simple and obvious. And there have been so many of them, that it’s tempting to collect them all and focus on none of them.One of Buffett’s key skillsBig mistake. Buffett’s wisdom is really the distillation of all his experience and analysis. He’s been applying his mind to the conundrum of investing for almost eight decades. Indeed, he bought his first stock at age 11, in 1942.5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…You don’t need me to tell you that the billions he’s worth now means his investing career has been extremely successful. Arguably, he’s the most consistently profitable ‘general’ investor the world has ever seen.One of the core skills Buffett himself cites as key to his success is focus. And I think one of his utterances is worth concentrating on. This one piece of homespun, folksy, avuncular advice could help you smash the stock market for the rest of your investing lifetime. If you do this one thing well, you’ll have a good chance of beating the performance of the general market indices forever after.Are you ready? Here it is: “It is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.” I bet that hardly caused you to raise a single eyebrow. As I said, it sounds so effortless, so easy, so simplistic. But it works!Do this one thing wellThe most prominent unextraordinary thing Buffett has done repeatedly is to buy the shares of great businesses when they are selling cheaper than they usually do.But he sticks within his circle of competence. He only buys into things he understands. So, you won’t see him investing in cutting-edge tech firms today. And we didn’t see him making billions from dotcoms and internet start-ups 25 years ago.We do see him in fast-food chains, candy retailers, soft-drink manufacturers, fast-moving consumer goods outfits and insurance companies. Go through his holdings, and the chances are you’ll fall asleep before you get to the end of the list. But they all have several things in common. They display decent quality metrics, they’re growing, and when he bought them, they were selling cheaper than they had been.His holdings may be boring, but their money-making potential isn’t. And you can build your own portfolio of such holdings in the current stock market environment. It often takes a short-term setback or crisis for the market to deliver the kinds of low prices Buffett is willing to pay for a quality business.Right now, as an investor like you, I’m finding loads of opportunities to use as building blocks for a long-term ‘mini-Buffett’ portfolio. One I stumbled across just last week (in an avuncular, folksy kind of way) is Associated British Foods, for example.

See all posts by Manika Premsingh Our 6 ‘Best Buys Now’ Shares The stock market crash had already signalled this, but now we have it in the numbers. Growth data released earlier today is bad, as expected. The UK’s economy shrank by 2% in the first quarter of 2020, prompting the Office of National Statistics (ONS) to say that “This is the largest quarterly contraction in the UK economy since the 2008 global financial crisis”. If that’s not bad enough, there’s more. In March alone, the month when the lockdown began, economic contraction was far faster, at 5.8%. 5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…Two consecutive quarters of economic contraction means that the economy is in a recession. The latest numbers show that the UK is just one quarter away from a recession now. In fact, it’s already underway. Consider this. If less than a month of lockdown has resulted in a sharp reduction in gross domestic product (GDP), imagine the impact of an entire quarter or at least much of a quarter. It may well mean another stock market crash.Light at the end of the tunnelThis is unfortunate, to say the least. But at least some good news is at hand as well. We can see light at the end of the tunnel. Many countries are reporting containment of coronavirus, which shows that extreme social distancing measures have actually paid off. Lockdown restrictions are likely to get relaxed over the coming days and weeks, indeed relaxations are already underway. As an investor, it’s easy for me to get caught up in the negative news flow and steer clear of investing all together. This is especially true when the FTSE 100 is showing signs of weakness, shortly after a spectacular stock market crash. As I write, the index has lost all the gains made yesterday of around 1%, probably as the bad news sinks in. Looking past the stock market crashBut, if I can get past this short-term noise, I stand to gain most from investing if I make careful FTSE 100 investments right now. Many stocks of growing and profitable companies have already shown a steady rise in share price since the FTSE 100 index first hit a bottom towards the end of March. But here’s the catch. The share price has risen, but it’s not back to where it was before the crash. With the economy and the FTSE 100 index still mired in uncertainty, it’s likely that there will be a waiting period before they reach previous highs. But, when they do, as an investor I will have much capital appreciation to show for my efforts. One example is the FTSE 100 mining giant Rio Tinto, whose share price is almost 20% lower as I write, compared to highs it saw in January this year. Another example is the FTSE 100 pharmaceuticals and healthcare biggie, GlaxoSmithKline. Its share price isn’t quite as far from earlier highs as RIO’s, but it hasn’t reached there either. These are just two examples. There are plenty of other FTSE 100 stocks to consider investing £5,000 in now. Stock market crash: Here comes the recession. I’d invest £5,000 in FTSE 100 shares like this now

There are currently a significant number of cheap FTSE 100 shares that could deliver high returns over the coming years.However, some cheap UK shares could merit their current low prices. For example, they may lack financial stability, or be void of a competitive advantage within their industry.5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…As such, using Warren Buffett’s tips when buying shares could be a shrewd move. They may enable you to find the most attractive stocks that currently trade at low prices.Cheap FTSE 100 sharesThe FTSE 100’s market crash means that many companies and sectors trade at lower price levels than they did a few months ago. This may cause some investors to simply buy a range of them, with the aim of profiting from their recovery over the coming years.However, some stocks are likely to recover quicker and to a greater extent than others. For example, businesses that have solid balance sheets and a competitive advantage may be better placed to survive what is a likely slowdown in global GDP growth. They may even be able to extend their market position to generate high returns in the long run.Therefore, following Warren Buffett’s advice and seeking the best quality UK shares that are available could be a shrewd move. His preference for buying great companies at fair prices may mean that you may not end up purchasing the cheapest FTSE 100 shares. However, you may be more likely to generate high returns as a result of focusing your capital on the strongest businesses while they offer good value for money.A margin of safetyOf course, paying too much for any FTSE 100 share could lead to disappointing returns. The index’s recent rebound means that some of its members are trading at higher prices than at the start of the year. This could mean that they offer limited scope for capital returns – even though the companies themselves may produce relatively strong financial performances over the coming years.Therefore, following Warren Buffett’s advice to obtain a margin of safety could be a worthwhile move. A margin of safety is essentially where an investor buys a stock at a discount to what they think it is worth. This not only reduces their risks, but could equate to larger capital returns over the long run.Investing with patienceBuying high-quality FTSE 100 shares today could lead to attractive returns in the long run. However, UK shares could be negatively impacted in the short run by risks such as a spike in coronavirus cases, as well as geopolitical risks in North America and Europe.Therefore, following Warren Buffett’s advice to keep some cash in reserve could be a sound idea.

Enter Your Email Address Toby Aston | Wednesday, 8th July, 2020 | More on: EZJ See all posts by Toby Aston The easyJet share price (LSE:EZJ) has had a turbulent journey through 2020. After plummeting 70% from high to low, the stock has somewhat recovered in the last few months. But it’s still way below where it was before the March panic-selling spree. Does that mean it’s a cheap deal? Not necessarily.Flying through cloudy skiesAll airlines are facing difficulties beyond anything they could have imagined this year. This is no mere economic crisis. The major problem is coronavirus, but more importantly social distancing. With the exception of Delta, none of the major airlines flying out of the UK, intend to leave seats empty to maintain social distancing on board. This is concerning for passengers. According to a recent report, a third of travellers say they will avoid flying for both leisure and business due to fears of catching coronavirus. The IATA study found that people’s biggest worry was sitting next to someone on the plane who might be infected. If you ask me, this is a pretty valid concern. 5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…But easyJet has its own problems too, notably the stand-off between the board and the founder about the future of the company. The latest incident came on 4 July when founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou called the board ‘dishonest’ over their claims about the company’s finances. The directors have said that the company has been prudently managed through the crisis and is financially secure for the future. The company still has an order placed for 107 new Airbus aircraft, which Haji-Ioannou has been consistently been campaigning for the company to cancel.Stelios says this is an expense the company cannot afford – and he may be correct. The board has already raised an extra £400m by selling 60m new shares. Haji-Ioannou’s share in the company has been diluted to under 30%. The easyJet share price is now at 664p, around 6% lower than the issue price of the new shares on the 24 June. What to make of the easyJet share price?Though shares are selling at more than a 50% discount to March highs, they are certainly no bargain. The landscape has changed for airline companies. Some will make it through, but safety is not assured. It is hard to see how easyJet is better positioned than other airlines for the tough road ahead. Despite the equity sale, the balance sheet still looks precarious.In my view, easyJet’s future will be determined by how quickly things return to ‘normal’. If social distancing and confidence return all may be well. If not, then it will be hit as hard as others – if not worse. In this imagined future, the board may be required to make yet another equity issuance, further diluting the value of current shareholdings. This is certainly a possibility. Overall, while a strong recovery in the easyJet share price is definitely a possibility, this has not come – in my view – from good management. As such, there are plenty of better places to put your money. Is the easyJet share price ready for takeoff? Simply click below to discover how you can take advantage of this.
