Sterling Investments returns to the ICTOP10 Main Market listing as Wisynco fell out of, following earnings downgrade to $1.20 per share for the current year, with the company posting 83 cents per share for the year to June.
The highlights this past week is the increased interest in Sygnus Credit Investments that drove the price up nine percent after posting outstanding full year results during the week, and the sharp pullback in the price of Radio Jamaica, with the price ending at $3.17, down from last week’s $4.40. By early next week, Radio Jamaica should announce the amount of dividend to be paid and the date of payment.
Elsewhere, Future Energy Source, a former ICInsider.com BUY RATED stock that enjoyed strong buying interest that pushed the price to a high of $3.40, saw a sharp pullback to end the week at a more palatable $2.05.
The top three Main Market stocks are Berger Paints, with the potential to gain 273 percent, followed by JMMB Group and Guardian Holdings, with expected gains of 209 to 286 percent for the three, versus last weeks’ 214 to 273 percent.
The top three stocks in the Junior Market are Elite Diagnostic, followed by Medical Disposables and General Accident. All three have the potential to gain between 235 percent and 275 percent, compared to 217 and 283 percent last week.
This past week the average gains projected for the Junior Market rose from 191 percent to 198 percent and Main Market stocks from 168 percent to 173 percent.

The TOP 10 trades at a PE of 6.9, with a 39 percent discount to the PE of that market and the potential to rise 61 percent to March next year, based on an average PE of 20.
The JSE Main Market ended the week with an overall PE of 15.6, a little distance from the 19 the market ended at in March, suggesting a 22 percent rise at a PE of 19 and 28 percent at a PE of 20 from now to March 2022. The Main Market TOP 10 trades at a PE of 7.6, with a 51 percent discount to the PE of that market, well off the potential of 20.
