Just released research from the JMMB Group has rated Derrimon Trading Ltd (DTL) as a HOLD and Jamaica Producers Ltd (JP) as a SELL.
The research states that based on their valuations, Derrimon Trading Company Limited (DTL) is likely to trade within the $4.81 to $6.62 range. Notwithstanding, the increased ownership in CFF and the strategic initiatives to improve efficiency could enhance the financial health of the company in the medium term.
