These guys style just tire me....It's only quarterly results they release to the NSE. All we see at full year is dividend declaration and no results to back it up...

Depending on your volume, this stock can be illiquid. I have experienced it.

I intend to add it to my watch list and see how it trades. I'm looking at entering between october and november, assuming price stays low.
As per volumes I dont think I can put up to N1m in this stock so I dont think liquidity would be a major issue

I've always believed that as the popularity of plastic bottles grow demand for glass would fall

Haven't been in Naija for a while but plastic bottled drinks and tin cans are cheaper in the UK, infact when last did I see a glass bottle that wasn't for liquor?
I saw a soft drink in a glass bottle for N50 (on top of the crown) at a Naija shop recently, do those in plastic bottles cost more than that?
