yok: WHILE PEOPLE ARE SWEATING WAITING FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE FALLING PRICES- SOME PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE THE BLUEPRINT IN THEIR HAND For our members these are some of the support levels we are looking at. We don't want to be sweating in the market everyday or risk our funds unecessarily.
Save yourself from the sweat/high blood pressure, get the full list of the likely support for some of theses stocks plus the updates and some other useful daily trading ideas. Chai your attached picture shows UBA support is at N6.04. That is a PE of about 1.5  if EPS of N4 is sustained. Well Q2 reports are not yet out. And we don't know what Q3&4 will be. And if one or more of the few remaining FPI's will seek the exit door. Fingers crossed.  |

RabbiDoracle: NSE bearish? Some stocks could be, but the overall health of the market as seen from the index is still bullish.
From a high of 54,290 to current value of 49,546 is just 8.7% decline. This index doesn't look bearish. The market has witnessed a prolonged bear especially for banking stocks that have ran several years based on their PE's and P/B's. Won't be surprised if PE's start dropping below 2 for some bank stocks. It's already on PE of about 3 and below on average. That's really bearish. |

BabsO2: The sizeable chunk at N6.9 moved up to N6.95 today. But it looks like the major seller did not budge from N7.0 Because todays average price was 6.996 even though closing price was N6.95. Hence most likely a desperate seller with >= 100,000 units must have moved down the price at close of today. UBA: Market kicked off with N7.0 ignoring the last minute close of N6.95 of yesterday. More demand (bargain hunters  ) gathering at N6.95 but looks like the major seller not interested in disposing at that discounted price right now. Rather seem to be looking at higher prices for disposal. Price climbed up marginally to N7.05 while volume traded seem to have thinned. Trading still on. More bargain hunters showing up physically with quotes. But sellers not showing up as much. For every offer to sell there are about 12 bargain hunters waiting at lower bus stops. |

BabsO2: Demand for UBA remains strong, courtesy of bargain hunters that have expressed their quotes at lower prices. The seller seams bent on offloading but watchful on not depressing the price by announcing too much offer and releasing the sales in small bits. There is a resistance by the seller to sell below N7 at the moment.
Couldn't wait for N6.9 again. A sizeable chunk of people (11million units) have been queuing at this price for some days now, with the seller not budging.

emmanuelewumi: I don't use EPS Okay. I notice sometimes, especially with banks the comprehensive income per share is lower than the PAT per share which can even come out negative and erode the shareholders funds. Meanwhile the audio will be all about a massive EPS from PAT when shareholders funds may have shrank. |
Investment › Re: Nigerian Stock Exchange Market Pick Alerts by BabsO2(m): 10:08am On Aug 06, 2022 |
emmanuelewumi: You should also learn to detect audio EPS. I have a way of discounting the cash flow from operation, get the free cash flow for equity and use the the average of both as my alternative EPS. This will not capture losses from comprehensive income. Unless the EPS used in your average is based on comprehensive income instead of PAT. |

RabbiDoracle: Nothing like that for GTB. I only saw 23m units sold for the month of June 2022 sef.
Genesis Emerging had 183m as current HOLDING after selling 23m units in June 2022. So they can't sell 200m in July 2022.
Check well. I estimated based on my snap shots at middle of Jul and today for GTCO. Genesis Emerging seem to to have GTCO in three funds in Jul and by August 2nd had only in two funds with about 200m units gone. If you look at sum of total shares held by funds, it shows GTCO also dropped by about this amount of units held by all the funds. From about 1.75b to 1.55b units. One with full access will have more clues. But this is fair enough for me to understand why so much trade in GTCO compared to Zenith in the month of July.

thesilentone: There was a report in the Financial Times dated July 31st 2022 by Jonathan Wheatley titled ''Emerging markets hit by record streak of withdrawals by foreign investors" Global recession fears and rising interest rates drive rush for the exit. Anyone can read it online - didn't want to post the link because of the algos.
Although, Nigeria was not name-checked, quite a number of countries where including neighbouring Ghana. Should we expect more FPI sales, very likely.
Excerpts: ''Foreign investors have pulled funds out of emerging markets for five straight months in the longest streak of withdrawals on record, highlighting how recession fears and rising interest rates are shaking developing economies.
Cross-border outflows by international investors in EM stocks and domestic bonds reached $10.5bn this month according to provisional data compiled by the Institute of International Finance. That took outflows over the past five months to more than $38bn — the longest period of net outflows since records began in 2005.
The outflows risk exacerbating a mounting financial crisis across developing economies. In the past three months Sri Lanka has defaulted on its sovereign debt and Bangladesh and Pakistan have both approached the IMF for help. A growing number of other issuers across emerging markets are also at risk, investors fear.
Many low and middle-income developing countries are suffering from depreciating currencies and rising borrowing costs, driven by rate rises by the US Federal Reserve and fears of recession in major advanced economies. The US this week recorded its second consecutive quarterly output contraction.
“EM has had a really, really crazy rollercoaster year,” said Karthik Sankaran, senior strategist at Corpay.
Investors have also pulled $30bn so far this year from EM foreign currency bond funds, which invest in bonds issued on capital markets in advanced economies, according to data from JPMorgan.
The foreign currency bonds of at least 20 frontier and emerging markets are trading at yields of more than 10 percentage points above those of comparable US Treasury bonds, according to JPMorgan data collated by the Financial Times. Spreads at such high levels are often seen as an indicator of severe financial stress and default risk.'' I suspect the fear of a sharp Naira depreciation is causing one or two foreign funds invested in Nigerian stocks deciding to pull out some money. Luckily many already pulled out in prior years and I understand CBN already cleared their FX demand backlog for repatriating their funds last year. I hope the few strong ones remaining do not go for the exit door as this will pull GTCO & ZENITH banks who currently have the highest FPI's sharply down. UBA will also follow small in getting impacted. |

thesilentone: GT looks like it will complete its 100% retracement back to 16.90 area but one has to consider that the downward pull in March 2020 was after dividends were paid. Nothing on the charts suggests that it will bounce yet. Not on the monthly/weekly charts.
This is not advice just responding to your call out as I haven't see the rest of the charts but GT is definitely not in an uptrend yet. Looking at morningstar it seems GENESIS EMERGING Markets has exited some GT share holdings in July (about 200 million units). Perhaps more sales from them and some other fund managers are still going to come up in August for the charts to make sense. |

Increase in Monetary Policy rate will increase the risk on the existing loans Q1 and Q2 has shown increases in PAT following FCMB and ETI released results. I pray the increases in income streams will outweigh the possible reductions from impact that may occur as the CBN proceeds with auditing and forcing provisions to be put in place in Q3 and Q4. |

ositadima1: The line-up with regards to upside potential, I am about 65% sure :
1. Fidelity 2. FBNH 3. ZENITHBANK 4. FCMB 5. GTCO 6. UBA
After arranging the stocks using the 4 reasons in the previous post it surprisingly matched their PE ratios - Fidelity with d least and UBA the largest! The Q2 results are coming out small small. FCMB did very well with a jump in profit from operations and comprehensive income. Unlike ETI not in this list that did very well in profit but dropped the ball in comprehensive income resulting in a fat loss. |

RabbiDoracle: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/monkeypox-outbreak-constitutes-global-health-emergency-who-2022-07-23/
WHO has declared this a global health emergency.
Forecast remains same. See the sectors they want to crush. And see the sectors that could benefit.
Two things can happen :
(1) oil and other commodities crash as people panic and go indoors again as govt institutes another harsher lockdown.
(2) oil and other commodities don't crash as oil producers sell their commodities at their own high term and people don't go into lockdown. Other commodities rally to all time high.
In both cases, food remains sought after as you must eat to stay alive.
Lots of people are wearied by the lockdown and they could disobey this time ala Sri Lankan Style. This brings out another form of tighter control via electronic tagging, bank account restrictions, digital currencies (easier to know what you have and block your account once you are found in a questionable group of protesters), communication block etc.
You are not the cause of these events. So trade it. So how do we trade it. Please, what arbitrage opportunities will likely occur. ? Should we start selling as the market will go down or look for money and buy more ? |

Looking at MORNINGSTAR for fund ownership changes in ZENITH (for the top 20 fund holders) reported in about the last 30 days. Total ZENITH holdings has gone down by about 72 million shares.
*NB: This snapshot information is belated as some of the funds above may have even dumped their holdings or acquired more. Suspect more were dumped and that's what is bringing current share prices down.

I have done margin trading in the past that almost bankrupted me, so I am also scared. Uba and Gtb and Dangote Sugar are on my radar. Need more reccomendations and advise pls The market is unpredictable and could go either up or down. Don't buy stocks right now with loan. Wait till things become clearer. By then the market may be slightly up or down. Even if up the returns may not be up to 17% in the next one year from both dividend and price appreciations. |

Difficult to explain here (I'm still learning it myself) but I suggest you Google and read about IFRS 9.it has all the answers you seek... It's the CBN OMO participation stoppage. CBN wants to wean the banks deep in that lazy source of interest income off it. |

onegentleguy: You see the problem with that No 1 reason is that; it is like saying you'd prefer a company that gives you less after earning more (FCMB), than a company that gives you more after earning less. (UBA)
With reference to dividend YIELD (CGY in view), there are better ways to compare coys within the same sector. A P2P comparison should always be a function of invested capital + equity pricing combined and not either line in isolation.
1st off, you are likely to get an approx 2.67% yield in the next 30-60 days investing in UBA (plausible 20k div in view) but zero yield investing in FCMB. Now that makes the former better than the latter in the short/near term even without due consideration to fundamental value preposition.
Again as you rightly admitted, one is likely to make 6.7% more (difference in possible annual yield) investing in the "U" name ahead of the "F" assuming they decide to stake an equal amount of fund in UBA @ N7.5 and FCMB @ N3.
Of course, in both scenario, we are assuming that the other part of CGY (cap appreciation) is constant.
Your No 2 and 4 line is the more reason you should seek to align with a coy like UBA @ CMP ahead of FCMB. As long as a coys fundamentals is healthy, VALUE is often better derived from a depressed equity position than otherwise.
With No 3, yes the chart of FCMB shows an accumulation, but that of UBA shows something even better (momentum ind in view) if one can do their homework well.
Bottomline: Both coys are good but there's a greater probability that an investor seeking higher yield will be better off aligning with UBA than FCMB at this time. A portfolio % weighting of 70/30 with the former ahead of the latter should do just fine!
In the past, I've always said that I prefer ACCESS ahead of UBA. I still do. ...even in the near term. But no doubt, UBA is better than FCMB.
If I were to rate banking names on a scale of value accretive stance AT PRESENT, it would be; GTB>> ZENITH>> ACCESS>> UBA>> FIDELITY>> STANBIC>> FCMB>> FBNH>> WEMA>> STERLING>> JAIZ from LtR in descending order. Note the phrase "at present"... so things could change in future.
Selah. Nice ranking from you. I can feel it.  I computed the following specific rankings Ranking based on current closing price for last week using dividend yields assuming they all return the same last year dividend. 1. GTB = 14.3% (Closing price 20.95 Dividend 3.00) 2. ZENITH = 14.0% (Closing price 22.20 Dividend 3.10) 3. UBA = 13.5% (Closing price 7.40 Dividend 1.00) 4. FIDELITY = 11.0% (Closing price 3.19 Dividend 0.35) 5. ACCESS = 10.9% (Closing price 9.20 Dividend 1.00) 6. STANBIC = 9.6% (Closing price 31.55 Dividend 3.00) 7. FCMB = 6.7% (Closing price 3.00 Dividend 0.20) 8. FBNH = 3.2% (Closing price 10.90 Dividend 0.35) I think first bank has a little issue with capital adequacy ratio as bank customer deposits have been growing faster than book value per share. Thus FBNH will need to continue paying low dividends or issue that special tier 1 capital bond like Access to manage this issue if it wants to pay more dividends without eroding CAR.Ranking based on current closing price for last week using an estimated earnings yield This estimated earnings yield is simple average of PAT/Share and Comprehensive Earnings/Share shareholders are entitled to. Mid year results will give a glimpse of how far off this estimate is. 1. UBA = 43.3% (Estimated EPS of N 3.20) 2. FIDELITY = 38.5% (Estimated EPS of N 1.23) 3. ACCESS = 36.3% (Estimated EPS of N 3.34) 4. ZENITH = 35.9% (Estimated EPS of N 7.97) 5. FBNH = 35.7% (Estimated EPS of N 3.89) 6. FCMB = 34.9% (Estimated EPS of N 1.05) 7. GTB = 26.5% (Estimated EPS of N 5.56) 8. STANBIC = 13.3% (Estimated EPS of N 4.20) GTB had a heavy hit in interest income stream from " Investment securities FVOCI" since about 2021 Q1, which still persists in pulling down its PAT even in 2022Q1. FBNH, ZENITH, FCMB & STANBIC have this similar pull back. But but had other upswings in other incomes to cover its impact. But UBA, ACCESS, ETI and WEMA didn't get a hit in this income stream. (I hope they are not just lying  ). This same issue (or similar) also erodes the comprehensive income of most banks. Only ACCESS and ZENITH escaped getting a lower comprehensive income last year. Please do you know what is this Investment securities FVOCI that eroded last year non interest income of these banks noted above. |
