Genghis Trading Ideas for the week…

Equities

  • For investors seeking to diversify their holding in income generating counters, we recommend BUY on Barclays Bank of Kenya (BBK) at the current dividend yield of 8.8%. BBK has the highest dividend yield in the banking sector with the current dividend yield on the bank being in the range of the yield on risk free short-term treasury bonds. The current market price offers an attractive entry point for investors who wish to hold the stock in the long run.

Fixed Income

  • BUY IFB1/2019/16 at 11.80% - 11.90%. We remain bullish on the longer dated infrastructure bonds, in particular the October issued paper. Its attractiveness is supported by its tax-free appeal coupled by its current discount price.  We thus expect the Secondary market to be biased towards the on-the-run infrastructure bond as they weigh the newly offered five-year primary bond.
