BAMOFIN1:
@Emmansoft, @Customstreet, @Mcy2 Please I already have stock account with Morgan Capital which I have found to be very okay.To diversify I want to open a second stock account with another low fees broker that also allows its clients direct live access to the trading floor, comparable to that of Morgan. My research on this thread pinpointed Stanbic brokers because of its relative low fees but going by the discussion here at page 6967 between BabsO2 and Omoeko to the effect that they monitor their orders to Stanbic through the portal of other stockbrokers, I now hesitate to go with Stanbic. Please which is the stockbroker whose fees is low and at the same gives investors direct access to the market like the Morgan's platform? My need is a broker with low fees (I do jijo) a platform with direct view of current market bids, offers and volume on real time basis. Suggestions are welcomed and I will do my due diligence before choosing. Thanks.

Irrespective of the broker you find with a low fee, you can continue to use your access to MC to monitor trade activities .

Also Access Bank too reported FX gain in the Income Statement but very minimal .
Access Bank reported FX Gain of *192.04B* (page 45) while UBA reported *418.2B*(page 28)

Access Bank Net FX position was minimal due to their huge exposure to Euro Bonds Issuance while UBA was very positive with the highest FX net position the industry as at 31-12-2022

FX gain was reported in Access Bank profit statement as 192B and was considered in arriving at their Profit Before Tax .

In my view , Access Bank result was knocked down due to the high Interest Expense .

Last year Interest Expense for June 2022 was *174.8B* for Access Bank while same Expense head for June 2023 jumped to *383B* representing about *118.8%* negative variance .

Note that the total expenses payment by Access Bank is higher than FX gain .

How to select stocks

Select stocks using a simple 5-step framework:

1️⃣ Universe of ideas

Define your investable universe

2️⃣ Circle of competence

Only invest in what you understand

3️⃣ Financial stability filter

Filter for companies with a healthy balance sheet, high profitability and attractive growth rate

4️⃣ Wide moat

Only keep the companies with a sustainable competitive advantage

5️⃣ Price filter

Select the companies which trade at a cheap or fair price

You want even more?

Here's how I screen for quality stocks:

• Revenue growth > 5%
• Earnings growth > 7%
• FCF / earnings > 80%
• ROIC > 15%
• Net debt / FCFF < 5
• Debt/equity < 80%

• Revenue growth > 5%

Organic growth is the most preferred source of growth.
In the long term, revenue growth is the main driver for stock market returns.

• Earnings growth > 7%

In the end, you want most sales to be translated into earnings.
Why? Because in the long term stock prices always follow the underlying performance of the company.

• FCF/Earnings > 80%

Earnings are an opinion, free cash flow is a fact.

Companies that translate most earnings into free cash flow perform significantly better than companies which don’t.

• ROIC > 15%

For quality investors, Return On Invested Capital (ROIC) is one of the most important financial metrics.

It shows you how efficiently management is allocating capital.

Furthermore, a high and stable ROIC is a great way to look at a company’s competitive advantage.

• Net debt / FCFF < 5

You want to invest in companies which are in good financial shape.

A healthy balance sheet gives a company flexibility and protects them against unforeseen circumstances.

•Debt / Equity < 80%

Too much debt and leverage is never good.

If you’re smart you don’t need it and if you’re dumb you shouldn’t use it.

Which criteria would you add?

Reference: CHRIS QUINN

Nothing to add jor.


Net debt/EBIT < 3.5

5 years compounded equity growth of 8% and above



The average 5 years growth rate of


Earnings

Revenue or sale

Equity or shareholders fund


Operating Cash Flow

Should be 10% and above


Net Operating Cash Flow must be higher than the profit after tax.



Capex/Sales. 10% or less




Capex/ Net Operating cash flow 20% or less


Free Cash flow margin 10% and above


Earning growth should be at least 50% higher than equity growth. If equity growth is 10%, earning growth should be 15% and above. This will eliminate companies who pay meagre dividends and plough a bigger percentage of their earnings but that didn't produce justified earning and dividend growth.


Free cash flow/Dividend 120% and above

With these analysis UBA no suppose dey below Access bank at all. Infact it should be trading above #20 bench mark.

Mpeace:
Unbelievably disappointing result from Access bank if that is trulyvtheir eps. But the result is hard to interpret. It appears they excluded their fx gains in calculating their eps.

Make the accounting gurus interpret this one for us abeg.
I see eps of N3.74

Exactly, they did. The FX gain we see there is the normal FX gain we have been used to seeing. Check the company side of the income statement and you will see that the FX revaluation was taken out. Check out the components that skyrocketed other banks FX income and you will see them missing in Access bank income.

I guess they took advantage of the recent CBN policy on FX revaluation gain and adjusted according. Remember that they shifted their financial report release date as soon as that CBN policy came out.

From my analysis on their income atatement, I can see that they have masked close to a trillion in FX gain.

Look deep to see.

• As OANDO Plc’s litigation hearing nears, (scheduled for October 10, 2023) it can be observed that investors interest is receding, as the stock traded about 60 million units today losing 9.89% in price, to close at NGN11.85.

For me, I still believe that there is nothing Wale Tinubu want to get on this delisting that he can not get. He has hunted the regulators down, more so that one of his own is now in power.

In a nutshell, I believe the delisting would still go ahead. Since most company getting delisted have alternatives trading their shares, I mean NASD. I am 70% sure that the company would be delisted. This is my own personal opinion

Good evening sir

I dont have information yet my brother. But third quarter results would give you clue

agbanimu11:

Wasn't Q2 done and dusted?
This result came out since July and it's Q3 we are expecting, which won't be ready until anytime after September.

.....and yes, it was an impressive and improved result.
We expected a much better Q3 result....all things being equal.

The other link you posted also was for 2022 .....any reason for posting outdated result?

I still don't understand why the court ordered AGM has not been organized as the court date is fast approaching. The volume of share traded in this stock since last week got me thinking. Do you think the minority investor are changing their mind and would want to withdraw the case on 10th Oct.?

I laugh in French when some people think is some yeye 14 minority shareholders that are gunning for delisting.

Aaaah.
A key benefit of delisting is the freedom for the company to focus on investing for the long run without the pressures (& wranglings over poor/bad management) from some strong shareholders to deliver substantial profits in the short term. This delisting does not augur well for Shareholders who participated in all the various offers (rights & PO) at higher prices, injecting more valuable naira in years past, only to be given a highly devalued N7.07

That's if the delisting pulls through.

Secondly, TA is predicting something different from yours. One must be wrong or may be delisting price maybe enhanced.

Court awarded Honeywell N‎72.2 billion damages against Ecobank, and then Ecobank appealed Honeywell’s N72.2bn court judgement. Any latest update on it?

Maybe this week, we will hear again from our Oando analysts. They have been largely silent since the stock dropped from N14.60 to N11.85. Well the good news is that it cannot drop below N7.07
