Barclays has been named as the most written-about business over the past year.

This follows a 12 months which saw the banking giant face opposition from an activist investor and high-profile court cases.

The FTSE 100 company narrowly beat supermarket Sainsbury's in the first ever Noise Index of business coverage by website Briefcase.news.

It said that Barclays, led by chief executive Jes Staley, topped the list after it analysed 12 months of articles from Fleet Street's major media organisations.

Barclays was written about 884 times during the year, as it was in the spotlight due to the presence of an activist on its board, issues of remuneration, and ongoing court cases relating to former employees.

Sainsbury's was written about on 840 occasions as its failed attempt to merge with rival Asda brought it significant attention.

"It is a solid, commercial business with an investment bank, and could provide pleasant surprises."

Pigs will likely fly.

Hamish McRae City Columnist

Barclays: Our choices last year were made against the background of a bull market. I chose Serco, the services provider, on the grounds that while this was a tough sector, management would deliver for shareholders. It did. The share price was 97p on December 29, 2018, and £1.64 on Friday.

The coming year is more tricky, but I like UK firms with big market capitalisations, protected by a decent yield. I expect banking to come back into fashion at last. My pick is Barclays, currently £1.82 and yielding just under 4 per cent. It is a solid, commercial business with an investment bank, and could provide pleasant surprises.

Roland Head: Barclays

The Barclays (LSE: BARC) share price is finally showing some momentum, after years of underperformance. But I believe this FTSE 100 bank remains cheap by most standards.

The shares offer a forecast dividend yield of 5.3% for 2020 and trade on less than eight times forecast earnings. Value investors might also be interested to note that the last-seen share price of c.180p represents a 30% discount to the bank’s tangible book value of 274p per share.

I expect Barclays shares to move closer to their book value in 2020 as trading continues to improve. I rate this unloved bank as a buy for value and income.

Roland Head has no position in any of the shares mentioned.

The EU plan to destroy car manufacturers making thousands unemployed

The Telegraph
Car firms face £2.4bn in EU emissions fines.

Tough new emission controls could see car manufacturers hit financially. Fines relating to the sales of new cars begin on Jan 1st in accordance with European Union emissions standards.

In 2020, manufactures will have to meet controls on CO2 emissions on all the new cars they sell.

Moodys calculates that 12 of the biggest selling motor manufactures in Europe are in line for finds totalling £2.4 billion as a result of failing to meet the new emissions controls
