Analysts at United Capital have a ‘Buy’ recommendation on the stock. They have a 12 month target price of N46.70, which represents a potential upside of 22.9% from the stock’s price of N38 as at when the report was prepared.

Analysts at FBNQuest have an ‘Overperform’ recommendation on the stock. They have a target price of N45.7 which represents a potential upside of 18.3% from the stock’s price of N38.70, as at when the report was prepared.

Our View

Guaranty Trust Bank is a HOLD in Nairametrics’ opinion. The stock is trading within a PE ratio of peers such as FBN Holdings which is trading at 5.9 times earnings and Zenith Bank which is trading at a PE ratio of 4.25 times earnings.

While the stock may not rally sharply, investors would be better off maintaining their holdings, till the conclusion of the presidential election.

Dangote Flour Mills: HOLD

Recent Results

None

Our View

Dangote Flour Mills is a HOLD in Nairametrics’ opinion, despite poor 9M 2018 results. Year to date, the stock is up 21%, out performing the NSE All Share Index.

Investors would be better off watching the outcome of the presidential elections before changing positions.

The general consensus is that the market would witness a bounce if the elections are peaceful, irrespective of the winner. The NSE has closed in positive territory in 9 out of the last 10 trading sessions.
