In the week that just went by, interest in stocks as measured by volume of transactions scaled up by as much 28.7 per cent week-on-week.

That affirms the increasing faith of investors in the prospects that shares offer at the moment, which eases the path for them to position ahead of more dividend and bonus declarations as the market awaits new corporate results.

The financial report of United Bank for Africa for last year is expected any moment soon and that of Dangote Cement could delivered around weekend, both of them major corporate actions that could point the way the market will head this week.

PREMIUM TIMES has assembled a number of stocks with fundamentals and other potential, adopting key analytical approaches to save you the hassle of randomly picking equities for investment.

The selection, a product of analytical market watch, offers a guide to entering the market and taking strategic positions in hopes that equities will gain value with the passage of time, particularly in the short term.

This is not a buy, sell or hold recommendation but a stock investment guide. You may have to involve your financial advisor before taking investment decisions.

UNITED CAPITAL

United Capital comes top of this week’s selection on its recent declaration of N1.50 dividend per share for 2021 compare to the N0.70 it paid for the preceding year.

Last week, it announced a profit after tax of N11.3 billion for last year, 44 per cent higher than that of 2020.

The investment bank’s earnings per share (EPS) as of Friday was N1.71, with a price-to-earnings (PE) ratio is 7.02x.

Presco’s PE ratio as of Friday stood at 5.51x at an EPS of N18.87.
