As the UK and the rest of the globe have and are currently restricted to both lockdown and curfews measurements, along with promoting a healthy lifestyle through exercising regularly, this has seen a huge surge in sales for the JD brand which is set to continue to grow.

The brand is also looking to blow out the company's expected profit financial results, along with potentially other financial areas beating their forecasted predictions.

The company also witnessed a cheery festive period over November and December as online sales surged, as their stores remain closed at present and look set to until at least March 2021, but as of the first weeks in January the company was already above 5% on a year-over-year basis.

5. RSA Insurance Group PLC (RSA.L)

RSA Insurance Group plc provides personal and commercial general insurance services across various counties which include the UK, Canada and Scandinavia.

The insurance group, who is headquartered in London, changed its name to RSA Insurance Group in May 2008 where it was formerly known as Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Group plc.

The insurance group has shown good results within 2020 given the big challenge from the Covid-19 pandemic. In the company's November trading update, the company reported slight declines amongst all premiums confirming Group net written premiums were down 3% to £4,663 million. But in the bigger picture is not a bad result at all for the insurance group.

RSA also confirmed that the Groups business operating profits were up for the first time within the first nine months ending at the end of October 2020.

But the recent news on this stock which is causing more speculation and creating a hype is because the insurance brand has recently been bought out in a $7.2 billion takeover by the Danish insurer Tryg and Canada’s Intact Financial Corporation.

This buyout has prompted speculation of huge growth potential for the insurance brand moving forward.

Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust has had one heck of a year within 2020 and is still continuing to show just how impressive it can be when you invest in the right companies.

The Sottish mortgage investment trust’s share price has seen a huge uplift, which climbed up above 105% over the past year, and is stabilising or potentially looking to increase as the future comes.

The company who knows a good stock at the right price when it sees it, has a list of many under its belt including two big mega stocks Tesla and Amazon, this is just to name two of many good stocks that SMT have within its holdings.

The tech stock confirmed in the companies trading report in October, that the leading tech company was set to be on track within the first half of FY21 with a revenue expectation of around £333 million.

When the company's Interim 2020 report came out in November, this confirmed although still positive the company was slightly before the H1 FY20, however, is still showing positive results despite the challenge that Covid-19 has on the industry.

Moving forward the company stated that they expect the company's revenue to increase as we move forward into 2021, as the strong demand is set moving forward and following the strong quarter of renewals.

AVEVE’s revenue is already on the rise as it was reported in December 2020, with an increase of 1.5% within the first nine months of the year.

This news was confirmed along with the board being ‘excited’ about the ‘significant’ growth opportunities that the company can achieve ahead, along with confirming that AVEVE had $2.7 billion of cash and no debt following its issue for the acquisition of OSI soft.

As the company's share price carries on increasing as it has in recent days, this tech stock is certainly one to jump onto as the growth potential is a huge opportunity not to be missed.

8. BP PLC (BP.L)

Okay, BP. The oil and gas company comes as a FTSE 100 stock that has visible potential growth within its new avenue into its long-term renewable energy pathway.

As the oil industry took a huge hit in 2020, as the world saw the aviation industry virtually ground to a halt to which BP. supply, then along with the high demand in electric vehicles which are vastly looking to take over the globe, the plans to move into the future for BP. perhaps came at the right time for the popular British company.

But having said that, most cars on the planet today are run by fossil fuels, so the company can and will still benefit from that side of things whilst its new avenue grows. Along with the mass vaccination rollout, soon the aviation industry and cars will be dominating the skies and roads once again generating a generous income revenue for the brand.

So moving into the company's new adventure of becoming more eco-friendly moving into renewable energy, the company has also partnered with some big names including Microsoft to look at excelling.

Based on the company's solid history and as the company is set for firm expansion into its new renewable energy avenue, the company's share price today at 289.45p, standing relatively good considering what could potentially be forthcoming.

BP’s current 52-week average stands at 188.54p at its lowest with 489.95p at its highest along with having a current P/E ratio of 20.30.

Although the plans of this British oil and gas company to move into renewable energy are uncertain, yes this, of course, is a chance that you would be taking on this solid brand, but nevertheless, we believe is a good chance and opportunity to take for the long-term outlook.

9. Next Plc (NXT.L)

The British fashion retailer is a well- known FTSE 100 stock, along with being a stock that investors like to have within their collection of stocks. The reasoning for this is that this company more than often fares well in all areas and is also a nation's favourite retail brand.

Along with Next being a favourite within the UK, it also offers its presence across Europe, Asia and Internationally.

In the company's recent trading update report which was released on January 5th, the company showed how the brand performed over the Christmas period, whilst giving investors a rough idea of where the company is looking to end in its full-year report which is to be announced on 1st April 2021.

Given the Covid-19 pandemic that has caused destruction within this industry, Next has witnessed a reasonably well outcome. Overall within the fourth quarter, the company's Total full-price sales including interest income was down by -1.1%. Within the bigger picture, this is a positive outcome.

As Next currently has all of its stores closed as we sit within the UK’s third national lockdown period, the brand is relying solely on their online store whose customer base was up 24% over the festive period. However, the impact on the brand’s loss of footfall through Next’s doors is a key part of its sales revenue.

Moving Into the future, as stores are set to open within the near future across the globe, Next will no doubt clawback sales which may add to the analyst forecast for the company as earnings are forecast to grow by 23.56% per year.

Another positive to take from the update report is that the company's year-end debt is also looking to be reduced as the forecast set is to look at a reduction from £625million to £487million.

From the company's share price today at 7,898.00p, this British FTSE 100 stock could be a good stock to sit nicely within your collection as a perfect long-term investment.

In more recent news, Admiral Group has reportedly agreed a £508 million deal in order to sell some of the group’s businesses which include Confused.com and Admiral Technologies.

Within the challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemic, online comparison websites have surged in demand as individuals look to get the best deals and look to save money as much as they possibly can.

According to the company's CEO, David Stevens, he spoke on the transaction back in December confirming that this outcome offers a brilliant positive outlook for the brand.

In his statement, Stevens spoke of the positive outlook for the company and their plans moving forward along with what the company's plans are with the return profits.
