Thursday tips round-up: Inchcape, Interserve, Melrose
Joint broker Investec — which is not pencilling-in a dividend for the foreseeable future — believes that Inchcape's pre-tax profits will rise to £165 million this year, putting the shares on a multiple of just over 11 times.

Even if you applied it to Investec's ambitious earnings target of £215 million pre-tax in 2012, that only gets us to a longer-term share price of about 35p. At 28¼p, pass, says the Times.
