Warrants close way below reference prices

A steep drop in the prices of John Keells Holdings and the JKH warrants which began trading yesterday triggered a sharp decline in both indices on the Colombo Stock Exchange with the All Share Price Index down 49.98 points (0.85%) and S&P SL20 down 39.70 points (1.23%) on a turnover of Rs.579.9 million, up from the previous day’s Rs.197.4 million, with 95 losers outpacing 58 gainers while 76 counters closed flat.

JKH where there was a single crossing of slightly over 0.1 million shares at a price of Rs.209 contributing Rs.23.4 million to turnover closed Rs.9.10 down on the floor at Rs.209.30 on 1.3 million shares done between Rs.208 and Rs.217 contributing the day’s top turnover of Rs.274.6 million.

The JKH warrants (W0022) closed Rs.10.41 down from the reference price closing at Rs.66 on nearly a million traded between Rs.55.10 and Rs.82 contributing Rs.59.3 million to turnover. W0023, with nearly 0.8 million done closed Rs.14.87 down at Rs.71.20 trading between Rs.53 and Rs.75 contributing Rs.49 million to turnover.

"JKH, both ordinary shares and the warrants, as well as Ceylon Tobacco which lost Rs.30 to closed at Rs.1,065 brought down the indices," a broker said.

``The ASPI ended lower amid improved activity levels which were centered around trades on JKH and its associated warrants which commenced trading today," John Keells Stock Brokers said in a market report.

There was a foreign outflow of Rs. 93.82 million with sales of Rs. 203.4 million ahead of purchases of Rs. 109.52 million.

Ceylon Guardian Investment Trust saw 100,00 shares traded at Rs.190 on the floor with the counter closing Rs.3 up at Rs.194.90 on a few very small trades which took the price up.

Other most traded gainers included Tokyo (voting) up 50 cents to close at Rs.26.50 on over 0.6 million shares, Distilleries closing Rs.3.40 up at Rs.185 on 57,898 shares and Dialog closing 10 cents up at Rs.9.10 on over 0.6 million shares.

Aitken Spence closed flat at Rs.114 on slightly over 0.1 million shares, HNB closed flat at Rs. 145 on 50,028, Touchwood closed flat at Rs.3.60 on over 1.9 million shares while Expo closed 10 cents down at Rs.7.40 on over 0.8 million shares.

The counter generated a total turnover of Rs. 297.99 million with over 1.3 million shares changing hands during the day (including the crossing).

The warrants of JKH traded heavily during the day. JKH.W22 (warrants expiring in 2015-24 months after the issue) dropped 14.80% (Rs. 11.31) over its reference price (an indicative price decided by the company) to end at Rs. 65.10.
