Genghis Weekly Strategy - 11th May 2020

In this week's edition of the Weekly Strategy Report, we give a recap of the equities and fixed income markets' performance over the past week and our trading ideas for the coming week. 

Our Momentum, Income and Value equities portfolios continue to outperform the benchmark NSE 20 index. Performance of the Momentum and Income portfolios was ahead of all the benchmark indices including the Nairobi All Share Index (NASI).

Genghis Trading Ideas for the week…

Equities

  • We maintain our BUY recommendation on Absa to income investors, to lock in the 10% dividend yield before the bank announces its books closure date. At current market prices, the bank has the highest cum-dividend yield in the sector. Its peer in the high yield category, SCB, went ex-dividend last week. Absa remains the most attractive dividend stock in our income portfolio with investors set for a cash return in the short term from the expected dividend payment.  

Fixed Income

  • BUY IFB1/2019/16 at 12.30% - 12.40% levels. We expect the heavy trading in this infrastructure bond to spill over into this week. The upcoming statutory corporate payments and the new CRR cycle signals a slightly dry liquidity environment. The anticipated TAP Sale on this month’s primary bond issue will also dampen fixed-rate bonds’ activity. As such, we see opportunities within the infrastructure bond segment.
