Top Stock Picks for the Week: UBA, NPF Microfinance Bank & Lafarge Lead as Market Gains Despite Short Trading Week

[Mr.Simon]

United Bank for Africa trading at a P/E of 2.4x is not just “undervalued.”

It reflects a market that has not fully priced in its earnings power, possibly due to macro uncertainty or lingering skepticism.

When perception eventually aligns with reality, re-rating happens quietly and then suddenly.

You're right I agree with you, you know everything has time and season, I believe some investors are secretly accumulating that stock for a possible run up

 

[Mr.Simon]

Lafarge Africa tells a different story. Strong profitability, yes, but RSI near overbought levels suggests that the market has already recognized the value.

At this stage, the question is no longer “is it a good company?” but “how much of that goodness is already priced in?”

I agreed with you, as of last year I watched Lafarge tripped from about 36 naria to where it is now, so was expecting a good pull back cause it's in the overbought area unless any other metrics can object to that

 

[Mr.Simon]

NEM Insurance sits in a very interesting position. Insurance, by nature, is a slow compounding sector.

When you find one trading at reasonable multiples with stable profitability, it often signals quiet accumulation before broader recognition.

These are the types of stocks that move least dramatically, but reward most consistently.

You're accurate this insurance stock mostly move when unexpected, only those who found out early tend to benefit more from it

 

[Mr.Simon]

That's a great one.

Yes, a good point made

 

[Mr.Simon]

Yoy mean, Oando?

Smiles

I think Oando benefits smart traders more.

Honestly that oando is risky and only smart traders tend to benefit from its drastic price fluctuations. It's book value and final statement is not healthy. I can't risk my capital anymore on that stock

 

[Mr.Simon]

The anticipations right?

Yes, let's watch and see their annual reports to made our decision

 

[Mr.Simon]

Aradel still has a long way to go. More growth potential.

Yes, I'm seeing future in that stock and same time don't want to lose my unrealized profit, but wondering if to still add more or wait

 

[Mr.Simon]

You just gave a beautiful summary.

Yes, made my research on them, for now I might pulse buying Lafarge maybe focus on uba for now

 

[Mr.Simon]

True

Yes, let's watch and see how it will reveal

 

[Mr.Simon]

Oando, I guess.

Seriously, some mention mft here

 

[Mr.Simon]

It is Npfmcrfb

Ohh, thanks cause I wonder where that name is coming from

 

[Mr.Simon]

Correct

Okay, thanks for clarifying that
