CPJ drops to 3rd on Main Market TOP10
In a week when Junior Market made a modest move higher, the Main Market closed lower, and resulted in no new entrants into the IC top 10 lists, in a week when three stocks gained 10 percent or more and one with a 6 percent increase, with no significant declines.
Price changes worth noting include, Medical Disposables with a 12 percent rise to $5.79, Paramount Trading up 10 percent to $2.04 and Caribbean Assurance Brokers rising 6 percent to close the week at $2.59 in the Junior Market and Caribbean Producers gaining 11 percent to close the week at $13.93, to move from number one spot last week to third this week and Key Insurance rising 4 percent to $3.64 in the Main Market. Caribbean Cream earnings per share were reduced to 70 cents for the year to February from 80 cents previously.
At the end of the week, the average PE for the JSE Main Market TOP 10 is 6.2, well below the market average of 13.7. At the same time, the Junior MarketTop 10 PE sits at 5.8 versus the market at 12.5, essential indicators of the level of undervaluation of the ICTOP10 stocks. The Junior Market is projected to rise by 248 percent and the Main Market TOP10 by an average of 247 percent by May 2023.
The Junior Market has 14 stocks representing a third of the market, with PEs from 15 to 36, averaging 21 compared with the above average of the market. The top half of the market has an average PE of 18. This data shows the extent of potential gains that the TOP 10 stocks possess. The situation in the Main Market is similar, with the 15 highest valued stocks priced at a PE of 16 to 78, with an average of 26 and 22 excluding the highest valued one and 18 for the top half excluding the highest valued stock.
Currently, the Junior Market reflects a positive positioning and is poised to move higher in the weeks ahead. The recent negative clouds that hang over the main markets seem to be lifting, with the market index slowly bouncing off recent lows.
ICTOP10 focuses on likely yearly winners. Accordingly, the list includes some of the best companies in the market but not always. 
ICInsider.com ranks stocks based on projected earnings, allowing investors to focus on the most undervalued stocks and helping to remove emotions in selecting stocks for investments that often result in costly mistakes.
IC TOP10 stocks are likely to deliver the best returns up to the end of May 2023 and are ranked in order of potential gains, computed using projected earnings for the current fiscal year.

Dolla & OneonOne added to Stocks to Watch
Caribbean Producers gained 11 percent in the past week and slipped to the number 3 spot in ICInsider.com top 10 Buy Rated stocks list. Knutsford Express climbed to a 52 weeks’ high of $9.50 during the week but closed at $8 on Friday and Paramount Trading 10 percent to $2.04.
Caribbean Producers
Dolla Financial and One on One are added to the list this week. Although the nine months’ results for Dolla Financial show only 7 cents per share earnings, ICInsider.com expects the company to post a robust fourth quarter to push earnings to 20 cents per share. There are two points of note about the results. They were constrained by cash to increase loans much beyond what they did, but the $1.5 billion bond raise will alleviate this constraint, the troubling issue is that while Interest Income amounted to $453 million for the nine months, they only collected $367 million, a sharp variation from previous periods when the vast majority was contained within the period.
One on One full year results are due soon and it will be interesting to see if they beat the projections they gave at the time of the initial public offer. Regardless, the price is back at $1.50, in line with the lower end of the range ICInsider.com suggested at the time of the IPO. The company projected revenues to hit $334 million by the end of the financial year to August with pretax profits of $105 million, equating to pretax earnings per share of 7 cents. The earnings work out at a PE ratio of 21, just well above the market average of 12.6, but profits going forward for the new fiscal year could result in a fall in the Ratio.
ICInsider.com watch list comprises now Access Financial, Barita Investments, Caribbean Assurance Brokers, Consolidated Bakers, Dolphin Cove, Caribbean Producers, Elite Diagnostic, Everything Fresh, General Accident, Guardian Holdings, Jamaica Broilers, Key Insurance, Knutsford Express, Lasco Distributors, Lasco Manufacturing, NCB Financial, One on One, Paramount Trading, Scotia Group and Stationery and Office Supplies.
Street News has it that Stationery and Office Supplies continues to churn out record revenues and profits during the third quarter of the year. The company is now subject to taxation at 50 percent of the regular rate for the final five months of the year, having been listed for five years to August, accordingly, ICinsider.com revised the forecast for 2022 to $1.35 from $1.50. The company should report nine months’ results around November 11.
Significant factors to consider going forward. Based on recent releases Caribbean Assurance Brokers should be releasing nine months’ results this coming week to reflect record earnings, which could move the stock price. The same goes for Lasco Distributors and Lasco Manufacturing. The rebound in tourist arrivals only came back to 2019 levels since June. Providing there are no reversals, companies highly dependent on the sector will enjoy a big bounce for the next nine months compared to the lower business generated from last year to April this year. The same applies to the entertainment industry,y as the sector only opened up after March this year. Banks will make a fortune from increased interest rates.

Stocks to Watch backed by strong results
Recent release of company results this past week confirms they are on the stocks to watch list, with Caribbean Producers reporting J$1.05 in earnings per share for the year to June, with tourism traffic at just 78 percent of 2019 for the 12 months to June this year.
Knutsford Express reported 17 cents per share and seems set to reach IC insider.com’s forecast of $1 per share for the current fiscal year and Paramount Trading, with earnings per share of 5.4 cents for the August quarter, is seemingly poised to reach our forecast of 30 cents per share for the fiscal year ending May 2023.
ICInsider.com watch list now comprises Access Financial, Barita Investments, which may be overvalued currently, but it’s a favourate of many investors, Caribbean Assurance Brokers, Consolidated Bakeries, Dolphin Cove, Caribbean Producers, Elite Diagnostic, Everything Fresh, General Accident, Guardian Holdings, Jamaica Broilers, Key Insurance, Knutsford Express, Lasco Distributors, Lasco Manufacturing, NCB Financial, Stationery and Office Supplies, Paramount Trading, now back in ICInsider.com TOP10 and Scotia Group.
Paramount
Significant factors to consider going forward. The rebound in tourist arrivals only came back to 2019 levels since June, with September around 17 percent higher. Providing there are no reversals, companies highly dependent on the sector will enjoy a sizable bounce for the next nine months compared to the lower business generated from last year to April this year. Banks will profit from increased interest rates, and insurance companies will enjoy increased interest revenues. The same applies to the entertainment industry, as the sector only opened up after March this year.

The Junior Market is projected to rise by 263 percent, and the Main Market TOP10 projected to gain an average of 250 percent by May 2023.
