Dangcem(-5.00%), Wapco(-3.96%), flourmill(-5.00%) Seplat(-3.12%)
and NNFM(-4.97%) .
ASI-year-to-date stands at -15.19% while market capitalisation lost
N164billion. Among the broad indices, volume and value traded
depreciated by 38% and 36% respectively from the previous session
indicating weak demand postures. Top in the gainers’ chart are VONO
(N1.06), TRANSEXPR (N1.05) and STANBIC (N23.20) while ACCESS

News Highlight – Dangote Cement
Again, Dangote cuts cement price
This morning, Dangote Cement (Buy, Target Price: N198.4, Current Price: N174.0) announced that it has
cut the price of its 3X cement brand in Nigeria by N300 (US$1.5) per 50kg bag (N6000 per tonne). According
to Onne van der Weijde, the Chief Executive of Dangote Cement, “Our cost-saving initiatives in Nigeria have
enabled us to cut the price of cement to a level that is good for consumers yet still allows us to achieve strong
returns that are sustainable in the longer term.”
This is not the first time Dangote Cement has cut the price of cement. On 3 November 2014, Dangote Cement
cut cement prices by 13.9% but quickly reversed that decision in December 2014.
Following the November 2014 announcement of a cut in cement prices, Dangote Cement shares were
marked down 12.3% that week. We believe investors may react negatively to today’s announcement and we
expect to see some sell pressure on Dangote Cement stocks.
Also, we believe the read-through for Lafarge Africa's (Under Review) operations in Nigeria is bad, as these
have higher operating costs than Dangote Cement in Nigeria. Lafarge Africa may have to follow suit in
cutting prices, in our view.
