Gaming software producer Playtech provides services for online casino, poker and bingo an area that is holding up well in the recession.

It has recently posted an excellent set of results and announced a 49% hike in its dividend payment in euro terms.

Although the gaming sector is likely to be hit by the economic gloom at some point, Playtech's diversified portfolio should stand it in good stead.

The shares have outperformed recently but are still trading at a discount and investors should buy at 425p.

Energy and mining support services firm Cape has seen its shares slump over fears about its debt burden. Cape's market capitalisation is £70m, whereas its net debt stands at £165m.

But the company, which offers industrial cleaning services for storage vessels and pipelines, posted a better-than-expected set of results recently and gave significant reassurance on its debt.

The firm is managing to pay down the debt at a reasonable rate and has already secured 70% of 2009 budgeted revenues. Shares are a buy at 65.5p.

Electronic components company Premier Farnell saw fourth quarter trading down 8% as the recession continues to bite.

But this is factored into the price and the firm has undertaken a programme of cost cutting measures.

And while revenues could fall by 10% in the current year, Premier has increased its full-year dividend payment. Investors should hold on at 120p.
