HOROS Value Iberia has identified seven Spanish companies as top picks for medium-term stock market gains.

Alantra, a financial advisory and asset management company, is one of the top picks, having reported a 23% increase in profits to €7.4 million in the first half of the year.

Meliá Hotels, a major hotel chain, is another top pick, with a stable capital structure and a presence in around 40 countries. Acciona Energía, a renewable energy company, is also recommended, despite its stock price having fallen over 50% since 2022, due to its growth potential in the sector. DIA, a food distribution company, rounds out the list, having reported a 9.2% increase in revenues and EBITDA in the first half of the year.
