Friday, 18th October 2013 | Angostura’s price spurted this past week on the Trinidad Exchange to hit $13.50 and with a PE of 22.5 has fully discounted any potential gains. The stock price may well head higher due to scarcity of supply but it has moved in to the risk taking category unless investors are buying for the long term.

Trinidad Cement had some gains during the week but still has more room to go. National Flour and National Enterprise also enjoyed gains during the week but still has room to run. Not much else happened during the week and the attractiveness of many stocks remain intact. The Top 6 stocks with potential gains remain TT Cement, TT Berger, Guardian Holdings, National Flour, Point Lisa and Neal & Massy.

There are signs that a number of the companies of the TTSE are gaining increased investor interest that drove prices up for some during the past week with signs of more to come.

Friday, 11 October 2013 | New to Top 6 of our PE Ratio list of stocks on the Trinidad & Tobago Stock Exchange is Point Lisas Port Development as it shows very promising prospects based on the results to June, 2013, excluding the fair value gains or losses on investment property. It now ranks as 5th with a possible 111% potential gain.

Elsewhere, Angostura Holdings’ price has have moved up leaving not much potential gain at current earnings and is now at the bottom of the PE listing with possibly a 15 percent more potential gain. Buyers at this level will be taking on added risk in the hope that 2014 results will continue to show improvement, thus making it an investment worth acquiring based on the scarceness of the stock.

Guardian Holdings potential gains has been reduced and it slipped to 4th in the ranking with a 181% potential gain. National Flour has appreciated to 3rd place and National Enterprises has moved up in price and down in attractiveness but it could still move up by nearly 30 percent.

As at Friday’s close of the market, the bids look interesting for a number of stocks and the coming week could be compelling for investors and the IC Insider’s PE ranking of potential gains.

Friday, 4th October 2013 | The PE Ratio chart continues to show good potential for a number of stocks to provide decent gains in the months ahead on the Trinidad & Tobago Exchange.

There are some stocks that appear to be fully priced with a limited likelihood of growth and there are those that are riskier than stocks with very low PEs relative to their peers.

Trinidad Cement still sits atop the heap with potential for 500 percent gains followed by Guardian Holdings, Berger Paints that has not been trading and National Flour that climbed to 87 cents at the end of the week.

National Enterprises is now up to $17.02 which reduces the potential gains to 35 percent and Angostura Holdings gains is now down to 26 percent.
