Bridgepoint has been marked as a stock to Buy, with a target price of 380p, after its final results for 2021 came in slightly ahead of expectations, according to Peel Hunt analysts. With capital raising plans remaining unchanged and the firm not foreseeing any material delays to its first close in the second quarter of this year, analysts have not budged on their forecasts.

Playtech has also been pegged as a stock to Buy by Peel Hunt analysts, who have given it a target price of 800p. The company reported strong trading levels yesterday - with the turnout of 2021 better than expected for onlookers. Analysts also expect Playtech to receive an "attractive" takeover offer - or alternatively, desirable bids for its component parts.
