Good Day and Happy new week.


Below are the top 5 Weekly Stock Pick For the Period 07/03/2017 – 07/10/2017 & WATCH LIST

Also, check out the watch list for the new week.

FO:

The acquisition of 414MW Geregu Power Plant has started to contribute significantly to the Company’s topline. Power generation contribution to revenue increased by 118.61% YoY accounting for 19.79% of total revenue in Q1 2017 compared to 8.39% of total revenue in Q1 2016. This trend is expected to continue with the power generation business further boosting revenue growth especially with the present drive by the government to ensure that power generation in the country increases. FO also has the capacity to push higher fuel and lubricants volume sales through its recent retail outlet expansion financed through its issued bonds.

Julius Berger:

The company has a huge public sector portfolio which includes: Permanent Site of the National Institute for Legislative Studies, Abuja, New Residences for Presiding Officers of the National Assembly, Abuja, Rehabilitation & Extension of Airport Expressway, Abuja, Rehabilitation of Badia Roads,Lagos, Lagos– Badagry Expressway,Lagos, Lagos–Ibadan Dual Carriageway, Section 1, Lagos–Shagamu, and many more. (these are all on-going). We expect that with the focus of the government on infrastructure development a lot of the alloted N1.8trillion (30% of the total budget for 2016) will go to ongoing projects across the country. This will boost JB’s revenue base and profitability for the 2016 fiscal year. In addition to the on-going projects, the company has also won new projects: Asokoro Conference Centre, Abuja, Dangote Jetty Apapa, Lagos, Uyo–Etinan Road, Akwa Ibom, Upgrade of NLNG MOF Jetty, Bonny Island,Dualisation Oil Mill Elelenwo Akpajo Road, Port Harcourt, No Potholes Programme, Port Harcourt. These in addtion to the company’s other business arms will ensure sustainability in revenue base going forward.


Zenith Bank:

Despite the challenges in the Nigerian financial services sector, with rising loan loss provisions as a result of their exposure to the oil and gas sector as well as the potentially toxic power sector, doubts about asset quality and weakening CAR, we still see opportunities in the tier one banks. Zenith bank has one of the strongest CAR’s in the sector and continues to leverage on its stringent risk assessment framework to mitigate capital erosion. The Bank’s balance sheet size is a major incentive for us at this time because we believe that its size/liquidity is a competitive edge in an economy awash with opportunities like the Nigerian economy. The bank also has strong brand acceptability and a wide branch spread.


Total Nigeria:

Total Nigeria is one of the foremost oil and gas companies in the Nigerian oil sector. The company is one of the largest in terms of retail outlets across the country and leverages on these outlets to push sales volume. The company has also benefitted from the deregulation of the downstream sector where it operates as a result of its retail presence in the volume driven oil marketing space. The company pays consistent dividend and is a firm pick with PFA’s and FPI’s .The Company has declared a final dividend of N7.00 bringing total dividend for 2016 to N17.00.


Dangote Cement: 

Dangote Cement is Africa’s leading cement producer with three plants in   Nigeria and plans to expand into 13 other African countries. The Group is a fully integrated quarry-to-customer producer with production capacity of 29 million tonnes in Nigeria and new operations set to begin across the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. The Group plans to have 42 million tonnes capacity by the end of 2016 and 50-60 million tonnes of production, grinding and import capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2016. Dangote Cement’s Obajana plant in Kogi State, Nigeria, is the largest in Africa with 13 million tonnes capacity across four lines. The Ibese plant in Ogun State has four  cement  lines  with  a  combined installed capacity of 12 million tonnes. The Gboko plant in Benue State has 4 million tonnes capacity. Over time, Dangote Cement has eliminated Nigeria’s dependence on imported cement and is transforming the nation into an exporter of the product serving neighboring countries.

GE has announced the completion of the previously announced combination of GE’s oil and gas business with Baker Hughes.


Baker Hughes, a GE company is the first and only company to bring together industry-leading equipment, services and digital solutions across the entire spectrum of oil and gas development.

BHGE provides differentiated services for customers by combining digital solutions and technology from the GE Store with the domain expertise of Baker Hughes and its culture of innovation in the oilfield services sector. No other company brings together capabilities across the full value chain of oil and gas activities—from upstream to midstream to downstream.

This fullstream portfolio positions BHGE to create new sources of value, improving productivity and project economics through integrated equipment and service offerings.

Jeff Immelt, Chairman and CEO of GE and Chairman of BHGE, said, “BHGE is an industry leader positioned to deliver in any economic environment and assist our customers in driving productivity. This deal capitalizes on the current cycle in oil and gas while also strengthening our position for the market recovery.

As we go forward, the new fullstream offering accelerates our ability to extend a digital framework to customers while delivering world-class technical innovation and service execution. We look forward to continuing a seamless integration for our customers.”

Under the terms of the transaction agreement, which was previously announced on October 31, 2016, the transaction resulted in a partnership structure, pursuant to which Baker Hughes was converted to a partnership and GE contributed its Oil & Gas business into that partnership.

GE has a 62.5% interest in this partnership and legacy Baker Hughes shareholders have a 37.5% interest through their ownership of BHGE. Former Baker Hughes shareholders, whose shares converted into shares of Class A common stock of BHGE in the transaction, are also entitled to receive a special one-time cash dividend of $17.50 per share (to be paid on July 6, 2017). $7.4 billion was contributed by GE to the new partnership, which will be used to fund the cash dividend to legacy Baker Hughes shareholders.

Nigeria is set to supply 130,000 tonnes of roasted cashew nuts valued at $7 billion to Walmart Super Market chain in the United States of America, USA, the Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbe, has said.


The minister diclosed this on Wednesday while briefing State House correspondents after the meeting of the Federal Executive Council at the State House Presidential Villa Abuja.

Mr. Ogbe said, “But the other good news is cashew nuts. These things look small, but we are in conversations with Walmart, the biggest supermarket chain in the U.S., they came here and asked us to roast cashew nuts for them.

“Their demand is a 130,000 tonnes of cashew nuts per annum, the total value is $7 billion,” he said.

Mr. Ogbe said what Nigeria currently does is ship the nuts to Vietnam, who in turn roast and sell to the U.S.

“This year we are going to create six cashew processing factories in Nigeria, one each to be cited in Enugu, Imo, Benue, Kogi, Kwara and Oyo states. These are the cashew belt for now,” he said.

The minister said these options are coming now because Nigeria is beginning to focus on non-oil export.

“Once you can diversify your economy, if something goes wrong in one sector you can hang on to the other,” he said.

Mr. Ogbe had earlier said Nigeria will formally flag off the export of yam to the UK on Thursday.

He said the government is also looking to use yam for industrial starch for the textile industry and for export to China.

He added that India is also asking Nigeria for the supply of beans. He said the beans market in India alone is about $100 billion.

“When the Indian Vice President came here, he asked me to visit so we could talk, so the market in Agric is huge, the prospects are large; it’s about improving on our strategies at home and getting all our states to get involved, not all of them are doing what they ought to be doing now,” the minister said.

Chinese proprietary auto brands face increased price competition amid 2017’s weak auto market, as signaled by price cuts in the previous few months to boost retail demand and help dealers destock, says Fitch Ratings. This will lead to further brand polarisation and dampen the profitability of weaker brands.


Chang’an Automobile lowered its retail prices across different models in late-May 2017, followed by JAC Motors’ price promotions for its best-selling models in early June. Great Wall, the largest Chinese sport utility vehicle (SUV) manufacturer, cut the retail prices of various H2/H6 models in early June after launching a CNY1 billion “red packet” promotional campaign in March.

Fitch expects price competition to intensify among proprietary brands in 2017, especially in the rich-margin SUV segment, as auto demand remains subdued. Some small, weak proprietary brands are likely to suffer market share losses and margin compression, while brands with competitive product offerings in the past twelve months, including Geely, Guangzhou Automobile Group’s Trumpchi and SAIC Motor’s Roewe, are likely to outperform in sales growth and retain healthy profitability.

Proprietary automakers have slowed wholesale vehicle deliveries to dealers to ease the latter’s inventory and financial burdens. Chinese proprietary brand dealer inventory levels peaked at 2.5 months in April 2017 and remained high at 1.9 months in May after aggressive destocking. Chang’an Automobile, for example, has voluntarily cut its production and wholesale sales since April to help dealers clear old models before new product launches in 2H17. The company’s wholesale volume declined by 27.6% yoy in April and 25.8% yoy in May.

We believe Chinese automakers have strong incentives to keep dealer inventories under control in 2017 in light of weak demand and new automobile distribution rules that prohibit manufacturers from setting dealer sales targets or pushing inventories to dealers, which come into effect from 1 July 2017.

In order for the ‘Buy Made-in-Nigeria Goods’ campaign to achieve its aims, the federal government has been urged to collaborate with the Retail industry.


The President, Bervidson Retail Group, the Convener of the just concluded annul Retail Leaders Conference in Lagos, Mr. Joseph Ebata said this while delivering his welcome address titled “Seizing The Momentum, Building

Ebata noted that ‘Buy Made in Nigeria Goods’ campaign cannot succeed without a meaningful and active support and collaboration with Retail to grow store footprint locally (and international).

He said that retail remains manufacturing’s biggest channel of distribution and best advocates of ‘Made in Nigeria Goods’.

“As a nation, our growth strategy cannot succeed without a sincere commitment to, inclusion of, collaboration with and support for retail industry development and growth. We therefore call on all stakeholders to rise up to the task of building a strong and prosperous Retail industry and nation.

In this direction, I must not fail to commend Government for signing the recent Executive Orders, particularly the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and the most recent development at the Ports,” he said.

According to him, Nigeria is indeed a retailer’s delight with a population of about 170 million people, over 80 million people living in its urban areason people living in its urban areas.

Ebata revealed that with consumer spending well in excess of $100 billion a year and a fast-growing middle class, Nigeria is definitely the most promising retail market on the African continent.

“The retail industry in Nigeria is transforming and has become the delight-some bride of many entrepreneurs, particularly international retailers and investors seeking to do business in Africa. Nationally, there is momentum on the side of Retail industry to become the engine of our national economic growth especially as the government actively seek to reposition the nation with emphasis on diversification of the economy. What is required is for all stakeholders including and particularly government to support the industry and guide it along the best transformation path so retail can achieve its full potential -contributions to national employment and GDP and growth. However, there are many challenges that the industry is dealing with,” Ebata noted.

He said that as Nigeria actively drives the diversification of the economy, Retail is driving urban regeneration with Ultra-Modern International Mall springing forth in all key cities of Nigeria, noting that with leisure and social opportunities, the Nigerian Retail industry landscape is evolving to provide lifestyle options that drives economic velocity and leads to urban transformation.

Modern trade according to him has re-merged (grown by 12.5 CAGR over the last 15 years), while traditional trade is evolving with Open Markets becoming ultra-modern markets and growing.

Mr. Kola Olayinka, British Airways Regional Commercial Manager, West Africa, said, “The airline is looking at making the experience an unforgettable one this summer and individuals could take advantage of the slashed fares as a way of managing their travel budgets.”

The slashed fares will create an avenue for travellers who want to create a more robust experience this summer to UK or Europe. Early bird bookings are encouraged during the selected selling period.

British Airways is dedicated to providing a first rate experience to their valued customers who intend travelling for the forthcoming summer holiday.

It will be recalled that a British Airways flight from Heathrow airport to Tokyo on Thursday was forced to turn around due to a “technical glitch.” The flight was about halfway into its trip when it made the U-turn, touching back down in London after traveling 6,000 miles.

The Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to turn around. The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight, about an hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyo’s Narita Airport.

A spokesman for British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 “returned to Heathrow as a precaution after a minor technical issue.”

On their return to Heathrow, stranded passengers were given hotel rooms paid for by British Airways, and eventually got out the gate—for real this time—at 10:30 a.m. Friday morning.
