International Consolidated Airlines Group – BUY

Index: FTSE 100
The company, whose airlines include British Airways and Iberia, are being transformed to achieve its full potential.
According to Alexander Paterson, an analyst at Peel Hunt, the group is less exposed to the most cyclical demand areas of business and corporate travel.
“We believe IAT is a much better quality business than it is given credit for,” he said.
Domino's Pizza Group – BUY
Symbol: JD.L
Index: FTSE 250
The group has signed a five-year agreement with franchisees that allows it to take a longer-term view on strategy.
According to Wayne Brown, an analyst at Panmure Liberum, this includes an enhanced marketing plan, increased digital investment and new store incentives.
“The enhanced marketing contributions will be something that Domino’s key competitors will dread to hear about,” he said.

Barclays – BUY
Symbol: BARC.L
Index: FTSE 100
The bank, which has around 40% of its income denominated in US dollars, could be a beneficiary of market conditions improving after Donald Trump’s victory in the US election.
This may include an acceleration in M&A activity and the possibility of lower corporation taxes, according to Robert Sage, an analyst at Peel Hunt.
“Barclays’ future prospects are improving in our view,” he said.
Frasers Group – BUY
Symbol: FRAS.L
Index: FTSE 100
The retail giant has lowered its full-year profit forecasts and admitted that revenue momentum had weakened over the previous six months.
Anubhav Malhotra, an analyst at Panmure Liberum, believes the company’s valuation is cheap, although the coming months could be tough.
“The near-term outlook remains challenging and will continue to weigh on the shares,” he said.
Games Workshop – BUY
Symbol: GAW.L
Index: FTSE 250
The company has given investors a pre-Christmas boost by announcing an 80p dividend that takes the full-year returns to 265p.
It’s due to announce interim results in mid-January but has already stated that core sales are up 11%, pointed out Charles Hall, an analyst at Peel Hunt.
“The shares have performed well recently and are at a similar level to our target price, which we will review at the time of the interims when we have greater clarity on Christmas trading,” he said.
