I’ve been on the lookout for low-cost shares to purchase for my portfolio. Though the UK inventory market total has been doing pretty nicely thus far in 2025, I feel there are nonetheless attainable bargains.
Listed here are a pair which have caught my eye and I’m very seemingly to purchase this month.
Domino’s Pizza
I just lately purchased shares in Domino’s Pizza (LSE: DOM). The London-listed firm is the grasp franchisee for the well-known pizza model within the British Isles.
Down 15% in a 12 months, it seems low-cost to me on a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 11. And it affords a dividend yield that presently stands at 4.3%. That appears engaging to me.
What I like right here is the simplicity and energy of the enterprise mannequin. The corporate has a big buyer base, a lot of whom order often. It has lengthy experience within the pizza enterprise and is solidly worthwhile.
From central advertising to some ingredient manufacturing, it enjoys economies of scale. In order Domino’s continues to construct its presence on these shores in years to return, hopefully it will possibly enhance its revenue margins additional. That will additionally give it a wider aggressive edge versus rivals.
There are dangers, after all. One is weak shopper sentiment. Domino’s has been ploughing numerous its advertising effort these days into value-based promoting. That means clients might already be exhibiting some hesitancy to splash the money.
Nonetheless, I reckon the present worth is sweet worth. My stake is small, but when I’ve spare cash to put money into July I might be joyful so as to add some extra Domino’s shares to my portfolio.
Greggs
One other firm I’ve purchased this 12 months and am eyeing the next stake in is Greggs (LSE: GRG). If I’ve obtainable funds to take a position over the approaching month, it is usually on my listing of low-cost shares to purchase.
On a P/E ratio of 13, it’s a bit pricier than Domino’s. The yield of three.5% can also be decrease, although I nonetheless see it as engaging.
So what attracts me to it?
For one factor, it has constructed a big, loyal buyer base. Domino’s is trialling a buyer loyalty programme in the meanwhile, however Greggs is an previous hand at utilizing its app-based loyalty programme to drive gross sales.
Its community of 1000’s of retailers in useful places, is one other energy. I feel its aggressive costs, first rate high quality and distinctive merchandise are all additionally an help in relation to getting clients via the doorways.
Much more than Domino’s, centralised manufacturing demonstrates how Greggs is ready to exploit economies of scale. That may assist give it aggressive benefits.
The share worth has fared even worse than Domino’s previously 12 months, tumbling 28%. The corporate warned Wednesday (2 July) that though gross sales within the first half grew 6.9%, its full-year working revenue might fall in need of that seen final 12 months. I feel that will result in additional short-term share worth weak spot.
But, like Domino’s, this can be a solidly worthwhile enterprise. The impression of upper wage and tax prices launched a number of months in the past, stays to be seen on the full-year degree. I see that as a danger to profitability, explaining the current weak share worth efficiency.
Nonetheless, for the good high quality enterprise that it’s, I reckon the Greggs share worth seems low-cost.
