Consolidated visits ICTOP10
Consolidated Bakeries moves into ICTOP10 this week at a time when the local stock market was starved of funds tied up in the One on One IPO that came to the market on August 12 and helped the JSE markets to pull back in the past week, with several stocks suffering declines, but increased interest rates erroneously pushed by Bank of Jamaica seems to be a contributory factor as well.
The disclosure that Dolla Financial corresponded with Access Financial to explore merger talks, put new life into the former TOP10 stock, with increased buying in the stock this past week. Trading picked up with 115,359 units being exchanged during the week, up from 38,162 units the previous week, with the stock moving from $25 at the end of last week to $27.50 this past week.

The Main Market ended the week with Productive Business Solutions jumping 15 percent to US$1.15 while VM Investments popped 6 percent to $5.50, but Berger Paints lost 14 percent to $10.23 after posting six months results without second quarter numbers that would show reduced second quarter profits compared to the first quarter.
The Junior Market ICTOP10 welcomed Consolidated Bakeries, with projected earnings per share of 22 cents, with the company appearing to be breaking the old practice of limited revenue growth and small profits. See the latest profile of the company with full reporting and its prospects for the current year. General Accident says goodbye to the ICTOP10 following the recovery in the price.
