Excerpts:

The stock market closed last week on a bullish note with 1.51% growth, week on week. How sustainable is this uptrend?

The trend started in November and hope to continue to the end of the year because many stocks are undervalued especially the blue chips which are majorly held by Institutional Investors such as PFAs, Private Equity who will like to redress their portfolio.

What is the outlook for the new week?

The outlook for the coming week is still positive considering that the big six are still below their 52 weeks high.

What is driving BUA Cement, Ecobank and Guinness?

The rising of BUA CEMENT is due to its silence as regard to its outstanding shares, whether they are going to issues bonus or cancel is yet to be known.

Ecobank is due to their good performance and trade arbitrage across the Ghana & Cotd’vour exchanges while Guinness is just mere market inter play.

Why is Nigerian Breweries and Geregu Power trending down?

Nigerian Breweries is trading low because of the markdown due to the bonus it declared, one for every four hold. Geregu is mere market inter play.

Nigerian Breweries is a good buy, this is below 52 week low price.

What are the possibilities in FBNH, Zentih, Wema Bank, GTCO, Flour Mills and Access Bank?

The mentioned stocks are in the banking sector. With the increase in MPR and Treasury Billis  rate, it will ensure good performance by the end of the year and also a positive good outlook.
