Ever see a bunch of UK shares you assume may simply want a set off to ship them on their approach up? Listed here are three I’m hoping may get a lift in July.
Investing sentiment
When rates of interest are excessive and inventory markets are boring, funding administration corporations can underperform. Have a look at the Jupiter Fund Administration (LSE: JUP) chart above, and that 60% five-year decline.
However with first-half outcomes due on 25 July, we see a 15% year-to-date rise in 2025.
I don’t count on a dramatic turnaround. However I assumed April’s replace confirmed indicators the previous couple of clouds may be clearing.
Belongings beneath administration (AUM) fell £1bn within the fourth quarter. However half of that was by means of market actions. And it meant internet consumer outflows of solely a modest £0.5bn. AUM nonetheless stood at £44.3bn.
Jupiter’s a comparatively small participant. And it may nonetheless undergo volatility if traders stick to larger and safer corporations as financial uncertainty continues. However because the horizon brightens, I feel it might be a very good time to think about getting in.
Actual property well being
Something associated to property has been by means of the mill, and that features Major Well being Properties (LSE: PHP). It’s an actual property funding belief (REIT), and I see two methods of it.
One is as a holding firm with falling asset values. Within the 12 months to December 2024, internet asset worth per share fell 3.3%. It adopted a 4% decline the 12 months earlier than. The issues shareholders personal are price much less now.
Or we may have a look at how these property are getting used. They’re major well being amenities within the UK and Eire, with long-term NHS contracts enjoying an enormous half.
Internet rental earnings rose 2.9% final 12 months, with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) additionally gaining 2.9%. In 2023, we noticed a 5.5% enhance in internet rental earnings, with adjusted EPS up 3%.
I feel traders who see a thriving enterprise right here ought to contemplate shopping for. Those that can’t see previous the bricks, nonetheless, may hold the share worth down some time longer.

Speaking of bricks…
Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW.) has first-half outcomes lined up for 30 July. We’ve seen a rocky previous decade right here. However isn’t this absolutely among the many industries with the perfect supported long-term demand within the UK? Housing scarcity? Yep, we’ve an enormous one.
Excessive rates of interest have put a damper on the house development enterprise. Final 12 months noticed Taylor Wimpey’s complete variety of completions (together with joint ventures) dip from 10,848 to 10,593. Again in 2022, the depend was up at 14,154.
In an April replace, the corporate reiterated completions steering within the vary of 10,400 to 10,800 this 12 months. That excludes joint ventures, so we may be previous the underside.
With a forecast P/E of 14 and rates of interest nonetheless excessive although, I may see extra ache for shareholders earlier than issues enhance.
In the meantime, some estimates counsel the UK wants greater than 4m new houses. That would hold Taylor Wimpey going for one more 377 years.
