Stocks to watch this week comprises the top gainers and losers of the previous week and companies that released results or made announcements after Friday’s trading session.
It is not a Buy/Sell/Hold recommendation.
Here are stocks that will be on our radar this week.
Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc
Transnational Corporation (commonly known as Transcorp) tops our stocks to watch list by virtue of reports of key shareholder, Heirs Holdings, raising funds to purchase blocks owned by Shell. Heirs Holdings is ultimately controlled by Tony Elumelu.
The deal, if successful, would lead to Transcorp running a power plant owned by Shell.
