Top Share Rises and Falls Over the Last Week. My 5 Company Losers and 1 Winner (Stock Portfolio Update). You will learn what's been happening with Briscoes, Cannasouth and others! ✅ TABLE OF CONTENTS ✅ 0:00 News Topics. 0:22 Why NZX Stock Market Declined 1:35 Briscoes Stock Update (BGP - NZX) 2:33 Serko Stock Update (SKO - NZX) 4:59 Asset Plus Stock Update (APL - NZX) 5:58 Cannasouth Stock Update (CBD - NZX) 6:32 Sky Network Stock Update (SKT - NZX) 8:33 My Public Portfolio Update $10,685 Let’s talk about Briscoes group. Its share price is up by 4 % after the company posted a first half profit of $28 million. Revenue was reported at $292 m (-3.5%) after a recessive first half (-35% in sales). It was bolstered by a strong rebound in the second quarter (+28%). Better than expected results happened even though its homeware and sporting goods stores were closed for 50 days during the six months ending July. Online sales performed especially well; doubling compared to the same period last year. In other words, It grew 100 per cent in that period. Investors may also have been pleased to see an interim dividend of 9cps, an increase from last year's first half pay-out. Next is SERKO. The corporate travel management software was one of the biggest movers, which rose 5% after it was announced last Friday that it would be replacing New Zealand Refining's spot in Standard & Poor's NZX 50 index. The rebalance will be effective on September 21 and will have several implications for both stocks. Investors may like the prospect of increased demand for the stock from passive funds, which may in theory have a positive effect on the stock price. As more money flows into funds and Kiwisaver accounts that invest in the index, new units in the funds must be created, which requires purchase of additional stock in the fund components – in this case, Serko. I’d be careful because it is another stock that is financially struggling but will be propped up. Serko has unstable earnings over the last 4 years. It made a loss of $9m in the June 2020 year and was unable to provide a forecast for 2021 given the impact of Covid-19. Looking forward, with the acquisition of Metlifecare by Asia Pacific Village Group currently proceeding, brokers Forsyth Barr suggested that the most likely replacement on the index would be either Tower or Hallenstein Glasson. You may take advantage of it! Now we move to the cannabis stock. This week Cannasouth shares rose 15% after the company gained popularity ahead of the upcoming referendum. (Show 1 month prices) To me it seems like someone is trying to manipulate the stock because it is up by 100 % then down 40% when there were no fundamental changes in the company.
