This is the first representative of food production sector in the listing. In the future we expect growth in turnover of its stocks.

Market leaders

During the purchasing of blocking stock holding of Uzkurilishashesavdo, its stock price rose by 217%. It should be mentioned that during the week the most traded securities were in growth. As preferred stocks do not provide authority to vote, they have a low demand among local and foreign investors.

According to the results of last week, top gainers include preferred stocks of Uzbektelekom and Uztransgas. This is evidence of high demand for the securities of these issuers, which are justly considered as blue chips of the local market.

Most Active

The deal of the week: purchasing of 57% of Bulungurning mevasi can be considered as the most important deal of the week. As a result this issuer occupied third place in the rating of most active of last week. Also purchasing of 25% (i.e. blocking stock holding) of Uzkurilishashesavdo can be considered as an important transaction. It took a leading position in the table of the most active. Such order of the issuers in the table of most active can be explained by low face value of Uzkurilishashesavdo securities compared to stocks of Bulungurning savdo, this provided larger volume of securities in the deal.

Most Traded

Uzkurilishsavdo is at the head of most traded rating, turnover of stocks of this issuer made US$134. Top five of most traded is rounded up by Uzbektelekom and Uztransgas.

In general it can be said that UzSE “Tashkent” for the last week made several steps ahead in terms of development. As it was mentioned above, Toshkent don mahsulot entered official listing, several trades for significant stock holdings were made and figures show increased demand on capital attraction through repo deals.
