In yesterday’s trading our portfolio improved from the losing trend it had exhibited on Monday and Tuesday. We made certain changes to our portfolio on Tuesday and the new shares seem to have improved the general performance of the PesaPortfolio.
As we can see, at the close of trading on the NSE yesterday our net value stood at KES 91,620. This is KES 1,810 higher than the value we reported on 29th May.
The gain can be attributed to the performance of the following shares:
- Housing Finance: The mortgage provider appreciated by 1.97% to close at KES 15.50 as compared to KES 15.20 the previous day. This led to a KES 330 increase in the value of our portfolio.
- Crown Berger: The shares of the paint manufacturer rose by 3.36% to close at KES 30.75 per share. This is a shilling higher than the level it closed at the day before. This contributed KES 1,000 to our portfolio gain.
- Uchumi Supermarkets: The counter closed at KES 17.10 a share as compared to KES 16.70 the previous day. This 2.40% jump is a relief from the declining the share had been following since the end of last week. This contributed KES 400 to our portfolio gain.
- Rea Vipingo: This is the new addition to our portfolio and after its first day it gained 10 cents to close at KES 16.95 per share. This contributed KES 80 to our portfolio gain.
It is worth noting that none of the share in our portfolio suffered a loss during trading. Mumias Sugar and KenGen closed at the same levels at which they had opened.
In total our portfolio gained KES 1,810 and now stands at KES 91,260.
