CRDB bank share up 16pc in three weeks

CRDB bank share price has made an abrupt U-turn after appreciating by 16 per cent in the last three weeks.

The share opened the month trading at 180/- a piece but closed the market at 210/-yesterday as brokers terming the trajectory as relocating to proper price.

However, the largest back still has ways before reaching the beginning of the year price of 250/- a share. Zan Securities Chief Executive Officer Raphael Masumbuko said CRDB share price was “very low” compared to its real value and was moving to appropriate price.

“The share was underpriced. At least are now walking to a real proper price,” Mr Masumbuko told ‘Daily News’ yesterday. Last May, CRDB share exchanged hands at 400/- to be the all-time high price.

However, due to tight liquidity the share went into bearish mode depreciating to this year low of 180/-. During initial primary offer (IPO) the shares were sold at 170/-. Mr Masumbuko said investors have a breathing space after Vodacom IPO that comes to an end this Friday.

“Most stock buyers wanted to buy Vodacom since the beginning of the year, now the pressure is off investors are looking for new items,” Mr Masumbuko said. In the first quarter of this year the economy experienced a lowest ever money in circulation forcing many sellers.

The trend resulted into shares glut and many, almost across the board, prices plummeted to lowest rate in years.

For instance CRDB share plunged 16 per cent to 210 since January. The worst performing share at the bourse since January was Swissport that went down 30 per cent to close yester-trading at 3,820/-.

It was followed by Twiga Cement that plunged 22 per cent to 1,780/-. On the other hand Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) stock was the best performer so far after appreciated 18 per cent to 1,180/- yesterday.

The second best performer stock was TBL that went up 8.0 per cent to close at 13,000/- as of yesterday.

Barrick, government talks next week

BARRICK Gold will begin discussions with the government on the concentrate export ban and other issues next week.

“Barrick is doing so in its capacity as Acacia’s largest shareholder holding 63.9 per cent equity interest,” Barrick said in financial statement yesterday.

This follows a meeting between President John Magufuli and Barrick’s Chairman John Thornton last month agreeing to hold discussions to resolve the row.

Barrick holds 63.9 per cent equity interest in Acacia Mining which is a publicly traded company listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Barrick subsidiary Acacia Mining has three mines in Tanzania of which Buzwagi and Bulyanhulu have been hit by export ban on concentrates of gold and copper ore in March. The other one is North Mara Gold Mine.

Acacia is not participating directly in the discussions at this stage, however it intends to work with Barrick as necessary to support the process.

Any potential resolution arising from these discussions will be subject to approval by Acacia.

Barrick said further that it continues to monitor the situation, and should Acacia revise its full-year outlook it will evaluate the impact to its own guidance at that time. Any impact will depend, in large part, on the duration of the concentrate export ban.

Acacia operations impacted by the current ban on concentrate exports account for approximately six per cent of Barrick’s 2017 gold production guidance.

In total, Acacia accounts for approximately 10 per cent of Barrick’s 2017 gold production guidance. Currently Acacia said it continues to evaluate the impact of Tanzania’s concentrate export ban, as well as recently enacted legislation, on its 2017 production guidance.

Acacia has not revised its fullyear production guidance to reflect any change to annual output as a result of the concentrate export ban currently in place, but has stated that it is now targeting the lower end of its guidance range.

Acacia has also indicated that, given the rate of cash outflow, it does not believe continued operations are sustainable at its Bulyanhulu mine beyond September 30.
