WHY THERE IS NO NIGERIAN STOCK MARKET ANALYSIS JULY 25.

Sorry dear viewers, there is no analysis of the Nigerian stock exchange today Tuesday July 25, 2017 in Henates Analysis.

In the past this had occurred only when we had logistics challenges at our end like the question of no report on Nairobi and the Nigerian exchanges last Friday.

However, today's own was due to rather unusual development which makes one worry about what  communication advances of today could be wrongly used for.

By 9.25 pm or thereabout, we got alert from one Ade Owuosho, Head Market Services that claimed to contain the index info for the day. It stated that the All shares index closed at 35,533.00. That is way ahead of the 34,052.52 on Monday.

Unfortunately, we had accessed the stock exchange website earlier in the day and stated there was 35,065.47 as the day's closing index.

Of course, it was then obvious that the alert was an attempt to mislead us because 100.5 FM radio had by 6pm broadcast, as part of its business news, the website figures and as we write this, the figures are still there.

The alert said full daily market statistics will be sent later but then, visit to the site again even as we write this by 22.48pm showed no official figures on the day's trading activities at the exchange.

So we wonder, what will anyone gain by trying to mislead us? Agreed, the alert, for the first time contained the names of all the recipients of the alert and it is either  all those stated got what we got and went to town with it or like us, preferred to play safe and await the full statistics for the day.

Of course, Henates Analysis has no option because we offer not news bite but analysis, that is an angle of vision that is that of Henates.

By the way, we did not receive Daily Market statistics for Monday too but we got by researching and accessing the Nigerian stock exchange website.

Perhaps, there is no attempt to mislead, just a technical hitch may have led to this problem

Perhaps perhaps..Perhaps. So we wait.

2018: TWO BLOWS TO UNITED CAPITAL PLC.

When a child who in a previous examination scored 80%, comes home with a new report in which he now scores 67.2%, the parents have a right to sit him down and ask how come. So it must be between Nigeria's United Capital Plc and its discerning shareholders since the release of the company's 2018 audited figures. In 2018, all said and done, says the annual report, United Capital ended with 67.2 % profit margin compared to 80.2% in 2017. How come? What comes across from the figures was that the company received 2 blows to the jugular in 2018: Sharp drops in Investment income and fair value gain. Investment income dropped by 10.8% to N4422.8m from N4965.2m while fair value on financial assets plunged by 79.7% to N6.173m from 2017's N30.387m. In view of both drops, the group's gross earnings grew by only 33.9% to N9259.4m despite strong growths in net trading income, and net operating income leap to N757.5m from N143.5m  Other income streams ended with single digit increase....

NAIROBI SE's HIGH PRICED EQUITIES.

In the wake of Nigeria's high priced quoted companies posted in this blog a while ago, Henates took a look to at Nairobi Securities Exchange June 23 official list to identify its high priced equities and the outcome was interesting too. Of the 66 companies quoted on the market by June 23, 15 or 22.7% were valued averagely at above 30 times nominal value. A word of caution though: There are two clear differences between the Nigerian stock market list and that of Nairobi: In the Nigerian one most listed companies have par or nominal value of N0.50 as is there is an implied agreement on this. On the other hand, at Nairobi most of the equities do not share common par value, they differ greatly. Then another thing, Nigerian equities are not valued below par, Nairobi ones can and many are so valued. Of the top 15 high priced equities at the Nairobi market, Safaricom topped with because by June 23, at 23.25 Ksh average price, it was valued 465 times its nominal value of just 0.0...
