Top Promising Companies To Buy For 2014

LONDON --�Shares in real-estate investment trust (REIT)�Land Securities Group� (LSE: LAND  ) �have gradually edged higher over the past year, striking their highest since summer 2011 above 863 pence in the process. And I believe that the stock has the legs to punch further solid gains as its development pipeline rumbles promisingly forwards, propping up its reputation as a lucrative dividend bet.

Earnings rebound expected from this year
Land Securities announced in January's interims that it signed 5.8 million pounds worth of new lettings in London since the beginning of the third quarter, with an additional 8.6 million pounds being dealt with by solicitors. It inked 5 million pounds of new lettings in its Retail portfolio, with a further 1.4 million pounds in solicitors' hands. The firm has also started work on its Kings Gate and Zig Zag Building assets in the capital, due to open in 2015.

City analysts expect earnings per share to drop 8% in the year ending March 2013, to 36 pence, results for which are due on 15 May. However, these are expected to bounce back over the medium term -- an 8% rise for 2014, to 38 pence, is expected to be followed by a 9% increase the following year to 42 pence.

With the U.S. dollar remaining below the 98-yen level amid concerns about the health of China's largest banks, some currency-sensitive shares extended their losses after driving the Nikkei Average down 2% in the previous session.

(JP:7201) (NSANY) retreated 0.6%, and Fujitsu Ltd. (JP:6702) (FJTSY) traded 1% lower.
