Experts to investors: Buy Forte Oil, Cadbury, IB

Investors in the Nigerian capital market have been advised to spread their investments across oil and gas, food beverage and brewery sub-sectors.
They are especially urged to invest in the stocks of Forte Oil, Cadbury Nigeria and International Breweries.
Based on the stocks’ performance last week ended November 10, 2017, the analysts are optimistic that the shares will deliver about 25 per cent returns on investment to the shareholders.
A financial analyst, Mr. David Olubunmi, explained that any discerning investor that injected funds in the shares would reap beyond his expectations by the end of this week.
According to him, the gains garnered by the stocks in different sectors last week have shown that investors are taking advantage of the capital market for long-term investment.
He said, “This has also shown that the financial service sector is no longer dominating the bullish performance in the market, as other stocks are equally competing favourably. So investors can take advantage and spread their investments for good return on investment.”
Meanwhile, analysis of the trading showed that Forte Oil recorded the highest price gain to lead the price gainers’ table with N2.10 to close at N44.10 per share. Cadbury followed with a gain of N1.14 to close at N12.34, while IB inched up by N1.01 to close at N50 per share.
