Movers & Shakers: February 14, 2017

Botswana: DCI +0.05%, USD 1.2m

An impressive day in Gaborone thanks to a cross in Choppies as 4.3m shares changed hands in the name.

Kenya: NSE 20 unch, USD 3.6m

Another dull day on the activity front in Nairobi with Safcom (-0.5%) once again completely dominating turnover while there was also some small activity in the usually illiquid KenolKobil. Unfortunately the other market heavyweights were dead quiet with nothing to report.

Mauritius: Semdex +0.86%, USD 1.5m

There were a raft of results released today with the highlight being MCBG's H1 2017 numbers which saw PAT increase by 7.97%, and as per usual, the name was the most active on the day with 147k shares changing hands.

Nigeria: ASI -0.84%, USD 6.0m

Nothing much to report from Lagos except that NB and Nestle continue to plummet. Both stocks were rather active with Nestle shedding 3.91% to N600.00 while NB closed down 4.99% to N112.82. These names dragged the consumers down 3.29%. Banks had a quieter day with no stocks particularly active as the sector fell by 75bps.

Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.

Zimbabwe: Industrials -0.93%, USD 611k

Some tiny activity in Delta, Barclays and Pearl tried to get things going on a slow day in Harare.
