Time is ticking for me to max out my ISA allowance earlier than the present tax yr slams shut. So I’m trying to find the most effective FTSE 100 shares to purchase to make full use of my Shares and Shares ISA.
Any of the £20k allowance I don’t use can’t be prolonged into the 2025/26. In fact, I don’t really need to purchase any securities to utilize it. Fairly, I simply must have the cash deposited in my Shares and Shares ISA to shelter myself from capital positive aspects tax and dividend tax.
However the distinctive worth on provide from many Footsie shares means there’s no level in my delaying. With this in thoughts, listed below are simply a few blue-chip shares on my watchlist right this moment.
Fresnillo
Hovering valuable metals have powered Fresnillo‘s (LSE:FRES) share worth to two-year highs. But at 947.5p per share, the gold and silver producer nonetheless gives wonderful worth on paper.
A ahead price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 14.9 occasions isn’t a lot to get enthusiastic about. However its corresponding P/E-to-growth (PEG) ratio is.
With Metropolis analysts tipping a 126% earnings leap in 2025, Fresnillo shares deal on a PEG nicely under the worth threshold of 1, at 0.1.
There’s no assure that safe-haven demand for valuable metals will preserve rising. Commodity markets are notoriously unstable, that means Fresnillo stays liable to a worth reversal.
However as issues stand, issues are wanting good for silver and gold (which final week hit its seventeenth new report excessive in sterling phrases in 2025 alone).
Issues over the geopolitical and financial insurance policies of the US Trump administration proceed to mount. Fears over authorities debt, and escalating struggle in Europe and the Center East, are additionally supporting flight-to-safety belongings.
Fresnillo’s portfolio of eight working mines makes it an particularly enticing gold inventory to me. Not like smaller operators, it’s capable of higher take up localised issues at group stage.
Coca-Cola Europacific Companions
Coca-Cola Europacific Companions (LSE:CCEP) has simply rolled into the FTSE 100 from the FTSE 250. It joins Coca-Cola HBC, which sells the identical vary of market-leading drinks (together with Coke, Fanta, and Costa Espresso), simply in a special a part of the world.
As its identify implies, the enterprise sells product into European and Asian markets, 31 in all. Its footprint includes a mixture of developed markets (such because the UK, Germany, and Australia) together with rising areas (together with Indonesia and the Philippines).
This provides the corporate stability in addition to thrilling gross sales alternatives in faster-growing territories. It’s a combination that drove gross sales 11.7% increased over the course of 2024, to €20.4bn.
Like Fresnillo, Coca-Cola Europacific’s ahead P/E ratio of 20.6 isn’t particularly low on paper. Nevertheless, a predicted 27% earnings enhance this yr additionally leaves it dealing on a rock-bottom PEG a number of of 0.8.
The enterprise has to spend fortunes in advertising and marketing to remain forward in a aggressive business. It’s additionally susceptible to antagonistic trade price actions.
However on steadiness, I believe it’s a high inventory to contemplate this ISA season, together with that blue-chip valuable metals producer.
