Dankotuwa Porcelain share price up: Colombo stock Exchange is down today

             DAILY MARKET REVIEW

28/06/2010 (S.L.S.Picks) - Colombo Stock Exchange was down on a start of a fresh week today due to continuous profit taking by the retail investors & due to month end debt clearing operations by the most of brokering firms.

Colombo Stock Exchange is the best performing stock market in Asia so far for year 2010 with more than 35% return.Colombo Stocks are still attractive for long term investors where earnings by the listed companies during the first quarter 2010 alone has risen 170% so far, will definitely help to bring down the market valuations to below 15 levels. This is a clear indication of the future growth potential available to the investors who have faith in investing at Colombo Stock Exchange Sri Lanka.

Still you can find a lot of undervalued companies & sectors in the market. However we can expect a short term correction in the market where we can see that some of companies are trading at much higher prices. Just to mention, a market correction at different intervals is expected in every stock exchange.

All share price index was down by 27.26 points to close at 4574.29 & the Milanka index was down by 32.64 points to close at 5257.53

Foreign participation was at improved levels. Foreigners purchased shares worth of Rs 734m.n & sold shares worth of Rs 285m.n reflecting a net foreign in flow of Rs 449m.n.

The consortium will  hold 66.67% of the issued ordinary shares of the DPL Company after the share issue.

There were some interest to the Plantation sector companies as well & the main focused was towards the Rubber plantation companies. The rising oil prices in the world market will directly benefit the Rubber plantation companies.
