Stacking up Barita’s stock recommendations?

September 20, 2015 by

Pan Jam is the top selection

Pan Jam is the top selection

Thought some listings on the JSE are up in price significantly, we see opportunities for significant capital appreciation at this point in a number of stocks, a recent buy and sell recommendation by the Barita Investments said.
“Many are trading at attractive levels with trading ratios of 6-8 times price to earnings, creating a potentially good entry point in the long term, we favour companies with strategic plans to diversify their revenue streams outside of our local economy along with a return on equity that outpaces inflation”, the Barita Investments stock market outlook went on to state. Barita also states that their analysis of 10 years of price data for a number of stocks show that October, to January is the strongest period for the JSE as such, buying before that time is a wise strategy. Those findings coincides with the IC Insider’s research that shows the market predominantly, starts rallying around June to July most years and peaks in mid-May the following year.
IC Insider picked 10 stocks from Mayberry Investments’ daily recommendations along with their PE ratios to see how they matched up with that of Barita’s and listed IC Insider’s top buys as well. Barita’s recommendation report was dated September 11 while Mayberry’s recommendations were published between the September 11 and 18. Barita did not state the PE ratio for their selections but quoted prices, presumable to buy or sell at. A number of the sell recommendation stocks have risen in price since.
