Lafarge Africa: SELL

Recent Results

Our View

Nairametrics retains its SELL recommendation placed on Lafarge Africa last week.

Seplat: HOLD

Analysts at United Capital have a ‘Buy’ recommendation on the stock. They have a 12-month target price of N876, which represents a 52.1% potential upside from the stock’s price of N576, as at when the report was prepared.

Analysts at FBNQuest have an ‘Overperform’ rating on the stock. They have a target price of N971 which represents a potential upside of 68.6% from the stock’s price of N576, as at when the report was prepared.

Our View

Seplat is a HOLD in Nairametrics’ opinion. While the stock is currently trading close to its 52-week low, investors would be better off entering the stock after it would have been marked down for dividend payment in a few months.

This week, the company released a notice informing the NSE of its board meeting which will hold at the end of the month.

This could be an indication that its results could be released, either sometime in February or immediately after the elections.
