November is a storied month in Zimbabwe. Both in historical and spiritual terms. November again proved a banana peel for the ZSE as it failed to make it a 3rd month in the green. The All share index slipped by 3.28%. The ZSE also said farewell to Top 10 member Simbisa which switched the VFEX to join the Nedbank Depository receipt as new listings there.

It wasn’t all bad news in November, as the ZSE had 16 gainers. ZB’s acquisition of Mashonaland Holdings propelled the counter to 165.56% gains in the month. Bridge Fort Capital Class A (+7.96%) shares made a surprise appearance in the top 10 gainers. Innscor (+6.01%) closed out the top 10 on the back of impressive full-year results and a healthy US dollar dividend. The rest of the top 10 featured counters that, for the most part, stay off the radar. NMBZ (+24.98%), Edgars (20.00%), FBC (16.48%), FMP (12.77%), First capital (+10.34%), Getbucks (+8.26%) and RioZim (+7.69%) made up the rest of the top 10.
