the FTSE 100 The index is full of high -quality stocks for purchase, and outperforms S & P 500 this year. The leading British standard achieved 6.7 %, compared to 1.7 % for major American stocks.

With the support of low assessments, some heavyweight in the UK is placed in a good position to be a long -term performance. Here three worth looking at this month.

Centrica

British gas owner Centrica (LSE: CNA) is the stocks that I describe as boring but beautiful. However, the percentage of the company’s very low price (P/E) in the company is about 6.3 must lead to the benefit of investors.

At first glance, Centrica started a bad start for this year. The low commodity prices constitute a risk to the company and investors, as it is clear from a 44 % decrease in operating profit in the fiscal year 24 to 1.55 billion pounds, and 26 % revenues decreased to 26.2 billion pounds. It may follow more weakness in the coming quarters.

However, these are comparative numbers, relative to the extraordinary energy market in 2023. Its performance in the previous year has always been a major challenge to Centrica. And a promise, it seems that the group was hit while the iron was hot.

The work is more flexible today after operational improvements and a green investment plan worth 4 billion pounds, and half of them have already committed. In addition, raising profit distributions by 13 % to 4.5p per share and the new stock -purchasing program of 500 million pounds enhances the investment issue.

In the cheap evaluation today, I think there are long -term capabilities in Centrica shares despite the short term challenges.

Imperial brands

Next in the stock list that must be thought about in buying Imperial brands (LSE: IMB). Especially attractive tobacco giant for profit investors thanks to the impressive return of 6.5 %.

Tobacco shares raise moral concerns for some investors. Moreover, with almost low smoking rates in almost all countries, there is uncertainty about industry prospects. The imperial brands will have to rise to these challenges with the new CEO after the recent retirement of Stephen Boomharde.

However, the group makes an encouraging progress. The results of the half-year confirmed that it has gained the cigarette market share in three basic-United States, Germany and Australia markets. The demand for the company’s “products of the next generation”, which includes nicotine alternatives such as Vapes, is also strong. The net revenue increased 15.4 % for this section.

The risks facing imperial brands appear acceptable in the light of an attractive P/E of 9.6. In addition, increasing the distribution of profits by 4.5 % and moving from quarterly payments to quarterly payments gives negative income seekers reasons for joy.

International Unified Airways Group

Another shares to consider purchase in June International Unified Airways Group (LSE: Iag). This holding company owns major airlines such as British Airways, Iberia, Vueling, Aer Lingus and Level.

Low oil prices provide a supportive environment for stocks to achieve more growth. Fuel costs are the largest individual expenses for the group, with a total of 7.6 billion euros in 2024. In addition, the company is well prepared for any unexpected shocks. About 65 % of fuel costs are surrounded for the rest of the year.

The risk of competition should be taken into account, especially from low -cost transport companies that cover short roads. Competitors pick up in the aftermath of the group, which leads to pressure on profitability and efforts to keep the market share.

However, the company has sufficient confidence in trading expectations to continue strategic expansion. Details of 53 new large -scale new aircraft between 2028 and 2033.
