Oil prices sitting above $113 per barrel after renewed conflict threats and supply disruptions have pushed inflation worries back to the foreground for UK investors. That kind of pressure often separates companies merely riding the cycle from those with strong growth engines and confident guidance. This article highlights three high conviction UK stocks from a high growth screener that analysts and management both support as they aim to keep expanding.
The three stocks covered next are only a sample from the idea, with the full screen surfacing 2 more companies with equally compelling stories that are not detailed here. To see the broader field and systematically identify your own high conviction opportunities, head straight into the High Growth High Conviction screener .
Hochschild Mining (LSE:HOC)
Overview:Hochschild Mining is a London based precious metals group that explores, mines, processes, and sells gold and silver, anchored by its Inmaculada underground operation in Peru.
Operations:Hochschild Mining generates most of its revenue from the Inmaculada mine at about $841 million, with San Jose contributing roughly $583 million and Mara Rosa around $83 million, plus small amounts from other activities.
Market Cap:£2.31b
Hochschild Mining fits the High Growth High Conviction theme through its Inmaculada mine, where management and analysts both focus their expectations for meaningful production and earnings expansion.
"Substantial reserve and resource growth from brownfield exploration at Inmaculada and Royropata, with significant drilling and resource conversion underway (Royropata's projected output potentially increasing from 100,000 to up to 150,000 ounces annually), is set to extend mine life and support long-term production and cash flow growth."
What happens to that upbeat growth story depends heavily on how one unseen pressure ultimately flows through Hochschild Mining's profit margins.
If that margin pressure is what really matters for you, read the full narrative for Hochschild Mining to see how Hochschild Mining's growth plans stack up against that cost squeeze.
TEAM (AIM:TEAM)
Overview:TEAM plc is a Jersey based wealth manager that runs discretionary and model portfolios alongside advisory and insurance broking services.
Operations:TEAM plc generates about £8.5 million from International, £2.8 million from Advisory and Consultancy, and £1.7 million from Investment and Fund Management services.
Market Cap:£17.9 million
TEAM links tightly to the High Growth High Conviction theme through its discretionary and bespoke portfolio arm. Forecasts indicate earnings growth of 85.28% per year and revenue growth of 20.6% per year. The stock trades on a 1.4x P/S against much richer peers, while continued losses and past dilution mean everything hinges on how one unresolved profitability hurdle is cleared.
That unresolved hurdle is the real story, and the 1 key reward and 1 important major warning sign to see whether TEAM's growth engine outweighs the dilution risk now in focus.
TPXimpact Holdings (AIM:TPX)
Overview:TPXimpact Holdings delivers digital transformation, data science and AI, and cloud consultancy services for public sector and commercial clients.
Operations:TPXimpact generates about £62 million from Digital Transformation, £11 million from Manifesto, and £10 million from KITS, almost entirely in the UK.
Market Cap:£90.7 million
TPXimpact Holdings matters for a high growth, high conviction lens because its data and AI work sits at the center of long term digital projects where clients want partners they can rely on for years rather than months.
"The recent UK government Comprehensive Spending Review provided multi-year budget visibility with a reaffirmed commitment to digital transformation, particularly in social housing, health, and infrastructure, key focus areas for TPXimpact, positioning the company to benefit from a rebound in public sector spending; this is likely to drive revenue growth and improve revenue predictability in coming years."
What investors really need to watch now is whether one quiet shift in contract mix turns that momentum into durable margin strength.
If that contract mix shift is what you are watching, read the full narrative for TPXimpact Holdings to see how TPXimpact Holdings could turn public sector momentum into accelerating profitability.
