The Lovisa share price is fetching $23.74 on Wednesday.

Virgin Money UK (ASX: VUK)

Analysts at Macquarie have retained their outperform rating on this UK bank's shares with an increased price target of $3.70. This follows the release of a quarterly update that was in line with expectations. In addition, the broker highlights that the UK economy has been improving steadily. In light of this, it feels that Virgin Money UK's shares are looking attractive at current levels. The Virgin Money UK share price is trading at $3.10 today.
