chimex38:You say what GABON ECONOMY: TONY ELUMELU RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT BRICE OLIGUI NGUEMA
|
BabsO2:Now UCAP has done the proper thing ![]() https://doclib.ngxgroup.com/Financial_NewsDocs/43329_UNITED_CAPITAL_PLC-PROPOSED_DIVIDEND__CORPORATE_ACTIONS_MARCH_2025.pdf He remain CBN to stop the delay in releasing UBA |
Makanjuola89:Make he do quick enter 3 digits. Not gbelo gbebo. Not upandan. |
TsarZed:. Nah there him hide. Thanks. So no need to issue dedicated dividend announcement?. |
Make better results and dividends start rolling out to brighten the market. UBA why is CBN still holding your results and dividend announcement. UCAP release the date for dividend payment properly. |
chimex38:Transcorp needs lots of money to fund its subsidiaries. Whatever it invests in UBA will be returned back in multiples as capital to fund growth. Non Controlling interest over a decade now have been instrumental in providing capital to fund the growth we are currently seeing. NCI is now about a third of total equity. I don’t see Transcorp paying out much dividends as it needs the retained earnings to fund growth. As there is a limit NCI can be used to fund growth. |
Agbalowomeri:The growth rate has been massive in the last two audited years. PAT for common shareholders grew by 110% in 2023 and another 215% on top of 2023 in 2024. Can growth continue like this over the next five years? If it does N500 doable. |
unite4real:The distortion is perhaps for their view graphs to justify the 60k dividend and give a false impression of high dividend payout. Perhaps this years interim dividend will be more than one naira. |
chimex38:The computed number is a meaningless mathematical exercise. Waste of time for the common shareholder abeg. Maybe they're trying to use the confusion to claim they have a high dividend payout ratio. ![]() |
KarlTom:What a meaningless eps computation that gives a lower value than reality. Same shares of 4 turned into one is being weighted. When no money was raised or shares bought back this computation is pure distortion. |
ndept:Nice piece! I admired your reported exit from Oando at N8x at the time you did. In hindsight at this moment it was a good move! Indeed, bloated shares and pressure to book some paper profit gains by institutions & market players, will have a tendency to pull the market down regardless of bank dividends paid. Also any drag in oil price downwards and current exchange rates (~1500) may add fire to the pull down for profit taking. The only things that can help in uplifting are good results for banks even without fx gains that shows solid FA, Oil price and Naija fx income staying afloat and not going further down, a reduction of CBN interest rates and stability of FX at ~1500 (not too less as it can ginger some bears). I wish these uplifting things happen. But cannot say for a certainty they will happen. Any way it goes I see banks currently far above their recapitalization price points experiencing more gravity pulls from profit taking. I am holding at the moment (took little profits here and there in January though). But I can see the bears currently lurking around. I pray they don't get the strength to pull the market down. |
Amarachibaby:Add Ellahlakes for future above inflation growth. Add UBA for getting some income while growing small small. I like it because it should have a strong support at N35 Follow and read this thread when you have time plus get basic investment education. Following this thread can give you updates on the stocks you choose to buy. |
Comparing WAPCO result to DANCEMENT. I am not interested in any buyout of the shares I have. The Chinese company must be forced to carry us along |
Good question. Pray it doesn't lead to loses. While older refineries can still operate efficiently with proper upgrades and maintenance, they generally pose greater risks and incur higher costs than newly built refineries designed with cutting-edge safety and efficiency technologies.

mikeapollo:Refinery Net margins are typically in the region of 2 to 10% while Net margins for E&P is typically 10 to 30%. Oando has been having poor gross margins. This refinery will only add to their list of poor margin activities. ![]() Looks like it's even getting into T&T political wahala sef. OandO management may have other benefits from the refinery, but I don't see it having benefits for common shareholders like us. |
mikeapollo:. I have read in the past of oil majors like those you mentioned talking about low margins for their refineries. That is despite all their years of experience in the refinery space. Not to talk of Oando that ain’t got years of experience. Perhaps the oil majors offer fat staff salaries and Oando will save some costs here by offering lower wages. Even at that margins being low is a refinery thing compared to oil exploration and production. |
KarlTom:How profitable is this refinery sef. Refineries usually have low margins. An old one like this will have very low margins. Or is the TT government giving special concessions like paying ops fees even if it operates at a loss, otherwise it doesn’t look attractive to me. |
N5b changed hands today in Zenith. Lovely. Perhaps some rights and PO people are trying to take some profits thereby pulling price downwards. Good UBA did its right at 35. It should have solid support above it. |
HesInMe:AI answer. Palm oil production is cyclical, but oil palm trees produce fruit year-round with peak and low seasons. Here’s how it works: 1. Year-Round Production • Oil palm trees (Elaeis guineensis) continuously produce fruit bunches throughout the year. • Unlike some crops that have a single harvest season, palm oil can be harvested every 10–15 days. 2. Peak vs. Low Seasons • While fruit is available year-round, there are seasonal peaks and dips in production due to climate factors: • Peak season: Often during the rainy season, when moisture supports higher fruit yields. In major producing regions like Malaysia and Indonesia, the peak is usually from September to January. • Low season: During dry months or periods of extreme heat, which can reduce fruiting and oil content (often mid-year in tropical climates). 3. Weather and Yield Impact • El Niño or La Niña events can affect rainfall patterns, influencing yield cycles. • Drought conditions can reduce fruit production for months, leading to supply fluctuations and price changes. 4. Economic & Market Cycles • While palm oil trees bear fruit year-round, global demand cycles, export policies, and stockpiles cause price fluctuations. • Higher yields during peak seasons can lead to price drops, while lower yields in off-seasons may push prices up. Bottom Line: Palm oil is not strictly seasonal, but production varies cyclically, peaking in wetter months and slowing in drier ones. Weather, demand, and market forces also play a role in price and availability. |
chimex38:Know I ring anytime I am chanced at z time. May market close the month on a rising note over the next three days. Green sweet now. |

JohnTerrorBlade:A refinery should be a cash cow and not a growth prospect. It can only grow relative to a depreciating currency as the asset replacement cost is fixed. Thus if further currency depreciation takes place in future, it's share price will stay afloat. |
starpower:Good prices are coming down. Thanks to China for their leadership in increasing our collective global prosperity. Prices of goods going up brings poverty while going down of same brings prosperity to the common man. |
ositadima1: chimex38:Light bulb used to consume 60 watts with tungsten filament. Now for same illumination less than 10 watts is needed with LED lights. Technology for harnessing the sun’s energy could change likewise. We currently get top most efficiency from solar panels in use of about 23%. Research is on to push that efficiency to about 45% with multi junction solar cells. In Nigeria we indeed need to wish for slower progress in breakthroughs in new Tech for assessing Solar Energy. A new tech can even go beyond our current scale of 100% And if the new Tech comes change overs won’t be that easy like Tungsten-LED changeover. |
I have taken position in the Ellah bet with the mind set of Jeff ![]() Key risk is the management buckling into mis-management when cash starts flowing. So take note of not only the rewards but the risks. Princkez:
|
ositadima1:Russia is part of OPEC+. I don’t think it will flood the market but rather stick to working with OPEC. Oil price will likely stay flat or drop a little like 10%. |
sterlingD:These mouth watering CP’s can weigh the market down. They could beat inflation in their time period. Or likely beat it. |
zendi:I rate Soludo highly amongst these three. His vision has endured with bigger Nigerian banks that have contributed their share in GDP growth not only in Nigeria but in Africa also. May be biased due to returns in the last decade from some bank shares with x5+ baggers. |

yMcy56:I think you have the widest stock coverage in this forum. Some of us cover only about 5 to 10. Some just 1 or 2 only. You dey try well well. Well done. With this distribution exercise and the ongoing selling and buying, Oando will have a larger shareholder base. Which has its good and bad. The good is it will be trading more with stockbrokers getting more income compared to other stocks that don’t trade much. |
Raider76:The share is as good as received even if it gets credited at Christmas. But I don’t think it will take that long. |
