Share Price and Market Capitalization on Specified Days of the Week:

Friday, July 2nd, 2021: Unashig Share Price and Market Capitalization at the Close of Trading Day.

Clearly benefiting from the momentum which Unashig's on-going investment strategy is inserting into it, the CBshare price continued to rise today, closing 0.17% higher at KES 2,440.36 (or US$22.62, at the unchanged forex rate of US$1:KES107.90). Unashig's gain for the day outperformed two key indices at the NSE, namely: NSE 20 (which rose by 0.08%) and NASI (which declined by 0.79%) (see Daily Market Report by Dyer & Blair). 

Indeed, the investment momentum has enabled the CBshare price to close this entire week 2.09% higher than it started on Monday. NSE indices, in contrast, recorded relatively lower gains during the week, as follows: NSE 20 (1.5%), NSE 25 (0.9%) and NASI (-0.2%) (see Cytonn Markets Review).

Taking a longer-term view, we see that the CBshare price has recorded a gain of 19.48%, YTD . This performance is significantly higher than the gains made by NASI (12.6%), NSE 25 (10.9%) and NSE 20 (3.0%) (see Cytonn's Weekly Report).

Market capitalization closed today 0.17% higher as well, settling at KES 7,561,109.00 (or US$70,075.12) -- which is the first time we have broken the US $70k barrier. Incidentally, this new market capitalization level represents "a meer" 0.0003% of NSE's total market capitalization of KES 2,701.65 billion. We are proud to take note of that, and to strive to eliminate at least one of the decimal points.

Thursday, July 1st, 2021: Unashig Share Price and Market Capitalization at the Close of Trading Day:

The CBshare price maintained its recent upward trend, recording a 0.70% gain for the day and closing at KES 2,436.25 (or US$22.58, at a forex rate of US$1:KES 107.90). However, one NSE index, NASI, rose higher than the CBshare price, closing with a gain of 0.77%. On the other hand, the iconic NSE 20 index trailed both, reversing course and closing 0.03% lower than the day before. YTD, the CBshare price has achieved a decent gain of 19.28%.

Market capitalization maintained its positive trend today, recording a 0.70% gain over the day before and 'busting' the KES 7.5 million 'barrier' for the very first time to close at KES 7,548,372.00 (or US$ 69,957.11). YTD, it has now recorded a 35.76% growth rate. Since December 31st, 2019, it has achieved a 344.97% growth. This is easily the highest peak in Unashig's records, but it is far from immune to challenge.

   

Wednesday, June 30th, 2021: Unashig Share Price and Market Capitalization at the close of Trading Day:

The price of a CBshare closed today with a 0.69% gain, at KES 2,419.32 (or US$ 22.42, at the forex rate of US$1:KES107.90). This gain was higher than the end-of-day index reported for NSE 20 (i.e. 0.46%), but lower than the 0.84% gain reported for NASI. Unashig's outstanding (i.e. issued) shares increased to 3,098.36, after another 8 CBshares were bought. Unashig also bought additional shares quoted on the NSE. Both buy and sell actions had an effect on the day's closing share price and, indeed, market capitalization. YTD, the CBshare price has, as a consequence, appreciated by 18.45% in terms of its pegged value, 

Market capitalization, still on an upward trend, closed 0.85% higher, settling at KES 7,495,927.00 (or US$ 69,471.06). YTD, it has posted a 34.82% gain; and, since December 31st, 2019, its value has grown by 341.88%. We are at the half-year point now. Let us strive, and wait, to see where we will be on December 31at 2021. Hopefully, Unashig's market cap will be well over the KES 15m (or US$ 140,000) point. Is that too ambitious? No!

Since some shareholders may wish to know how we determine the level of market capitalization at the end of a trading day, here are the broad steps: We first multiply the number of quoted shares which Unashig holds on each counter (e.g. Safaricom, KCB and NMG) by their respective VWAPs (Volume-Weighted Average Prices) as determined and published by the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). We then add all the numbers generated from the series of multiplications. The sum we get is the day's market capitalization.

Tuesday, June 29th, 2021: Unashig Share Price and Market Capitalization at the Close of Trading Day.

Unashg's CBshare had a 0.10% gain this Tuesday, closing at KES 2,405.07 (or US$ 22.31, at a steady forex rate of US$1:KES 107.80). This was its highest point ever. In the process, it outperformed two NSE indices -- namely, NSE 20 (0.001%) and NSE 25 (-0.06%) -- but lagged behind the third, NASI (0.15%). The number of outstanding shares rose to 3,090.36, after one shareholder acquired 25 additional CBshares earlier today at yesterday's price. We bought some quoted shares as well. The purchase of 25 CB shares was indeed a laudable boost to Unashig's growth momentum. It is hoped that others will soon follow that example.

YTD, the CBshare price has gained 17.78% in pegged value. As a result, we continue to see a widening in the gap between its cumulative growth trajectory and those reported for the three NSE indexes, namely: NASI (12.9%), NSE 25 (9.9%) and NSE 20 (1.4%). (ref. Cytonn Report).

Market capitalization closed 0.92% above yesterday's mark; that is, KES 7,432,520 (or US$ 68,947.71). YTD, it has scored a 33.67% gain. Since December 31st, 2019, its upward trend-line has lifted it 338.14% higher. We expect to see more in the second half of 2021. 

Monday, June 28th, 2021: Unashig Share Price and Market Capitalization at the Close of Trading Day.

The price of a CBshare closed this Monday 0.90% higher than last Friday, settling at KES 2,402.70 (or US$ 22.29, at the forex rate of US$1:KES107.80). It therefore finished in-between two indices at the NSE, namely: NSE 20 (1.03%) and NASI (0.12%). The number of outstanding CBshares rose to 3,065.36. We bought a few quoted shares to shore up Unashig's momentum for the long-term. We could do with more purchases at both ends. There are opportunities there, as even foreign investors clearly know.

YTD (Year-to-Date), the share price has recorded a 17.64% growth. This significantly exceeds the gains made by the three NSE indices during the period, as follows (See Cytonn Weekly Report): NASI (12.9%), NSE 25 (9.9%) and NSE 20 (1.4%). 

Market capitalization rose 1.00% above last Friday's close, settling at KES 7,365,129 (or US 68,322.16). YTD, it has recorded a gain of nearly a third (or 32.46%, more specifically). Since December 31st, 2019, its growth has hit 334.17% -- thus more than tripling its upward reach. In contrast, a Cytonn Report released on June 27th 2021 underscores just how low the YTD yields were for five Eurobonds issued in Kenya during the period 2014 to 2019 -- ranging as they did from -0.6% to only +0.4%! We can of course counter-balance those low yields with the coupon rate of 12.873% and 12.000%, respectively,  currently being offered to interested bond traders by Central Bank of Kenya. Either way, however, Unashig's market capitalization is not doing too badly in its growth trajectory, even before we add the prevailing dividend yield of around 3.4% per annum.
