Junior Market stocks closed the week, with individual stocks displaying sharp swings in prices, while the Junior Market Index, in contrast, moved modestly higher and closed the week at 3,130.92 points with a gain of 22.24 points, or just 0.72 percent, masking the much larger moves among individual stocks.
MFS Capital Partners ended the week with a gain of 21.28 percent to be the leading stock rising, but Limners and Bards was the weakest, in falling 12.5 percent. Caribbean Cream was the sixth-best performing stock, following solid second quarter results, reported after the close of the market on Thursday, with profit before tax amounting to $152 million for the half-year, and earnings per share coming in at 18 cents for the second quarter, up from 12 cents in the first quarter. The shares responded positively to the results, triggering the circuit breaker. In the process, it traded at $4.19. Looking ahead, the twelve-month forecast compiled by ICInsider.com projects earnings of 55 cents per share, with the stock set to rise by 186 percent over the next twelve months to $11. The stock has so far gained 84 percent for the year to date.
ICInsider.com projects gains for the Junior Market ranging from 138 percent to 1,076 percent across its top ten stocks, with Kintyre Holdings leading by a wide margin and Caribbean Assurance Brokers in second place at 476 percent.
ICInsider.com expects Kintyre Holdings to deliver a gain of 1,076 percent over the next twelve months, by far the highest projection. A forecast of that size usually reflects a very small share price and market value, so even modest buying can move the stock sharply, and investors should treat it with caution.
Caribbean Assurance Brokers is projected to rise 476 percent. The insurance broker’s shares had lost ground over the past year, so the forecast implies a substantial recovery. Express Catering is forecast to gain 267 percent, placing it third on the list. Express operates restaurants at Sangster International Airport, so its outlook is closely tied to a rebound in passenger traffic and tourism.
Caribbean Cream follows with a projected gain of 186 percent, its second-quarter results this week are in line with that outlook. Gross operating revenue for the half-year rose 9 percent to $1,775 million, from $1,628 million a year earlier, while quarterly sales increased 8 percent to $891 million, from $826 million. Profitability improved markedly, as the company recorded a profit before tax of $151.7 million for the half-year, compared with a loss before tax of $12.6 million in the prior-year period. For the quarter, profit before tax climbed to $92 million from $5.6 million in 2025.
KLE Group is forecast to climb 167 percent. The stock is thinly capitalised and has been volatile, so outcomes could differ widely from the projection. Omni Industries rounds out the first six with a projected gain of 156 percent, indicating steady expectations for continued growth. As with all forecasts, these figures are estimates and actual results may differ.
Among the top five winning companies for the week, MFS Capital Partners topped the list, after rising 21.28 percent. R.A. Williams Distributors was next with a gain of 20.31 percent, Paramount Trading advanced by 18.18 percent. Dolphin Cove rallied by 16.42 percent, while Consolidated Bakeries rose to the top five with a gain of 15.11 percent. See chart for the top 10.

ICInsider.com’s forecast Kintyre Holdings as the dominant stock with projections, of 1,076 per cent over the next twelve months, on the assumption that trading in the stock will resume. That is more than double the projection for the second-placed stock, and reflects the stock’s extremely low price. Caribbean Assurance Brokers follows with potential gains of 471 percent, with Express Catering at 279 percent and could be better with the company now charging interest on its intercompany loan that will raise profits above forecast. Caribbean Cream is in at 220 percent and R.A. Williams Distributors at 197 percent. Interestingly, this stock was listed at a $1 in 2024 and was oversubscribed but profits for the 2026 first quarter is more than 50 percent of the 2024 profits. MFS Capital Partners sits with potential of 190 percent, K.L.E. Group at 170 percent, Main Event Group at 165 percent, Omni Industries at 153 percent and Fontana 143 percent.
Caribbean Cream and Express Catering both posted weekly gains and are also forecast to be among the best performers, so the recent momentum is consistent with the outlook. By contrast, Caribbean Assurance Brokers, R.A. Williams and Main Event appear among this week’s biggest losers, each is projected to gain between 165 percent and 471 percent.
