You won't need to throw the kitchen sink to get a good deal out of Howden Joinery. Analysts at Shore Capital expect it to report a 12 per cent increase in profit before tax in FY22, and rate the stock as a 'buy' at its current price. They said: "Howden has performed well but the shares still offer value, in our view."

Sage experienced recurring revenue growth above the previous guidance range of three to five per cent but Cannacord Genuity Capital Markets downgraded the stock to hold with a target price of 720p. They said: "We value Sage on a peer group basis of large established global software stocks and the UK IT sector."
