Côte d’Ivoire is emerging as one of West Africa’s more compelling investment stories. Strong economic growth, rising foreign investment, better infrastructure and an expanding private sector are changing perceptions of the country. The harder question is whether that momentum can generate enough productive jobs, reduce inequality and survive future political transitions.

Mobile money began as a convenient way to send and receive cash. Today, Africa’s largest telecom operators are moving into lending, savings, insurance and investment products.

Nvidia delivered another substantial earnings beat in its fiscal second quarter, with revenue more than doubling year-on-year as demand for AI infrastructure continued to accelerate.

Africa has the labour force, natural resources and increasingly the capital required to build a larger manufacturing economy. But shortages of technicians, engineers, production managers and job-ready industrial workers are becoming a more important constraint on how quickly the continent can industrialise.

A low price-to-earnings ratio does not automatically mean a stock is cheap, just as a high P/E ratio does not automatically mean it is expensive. The ratio only becomes useful when investors understand what the market is pricing into those earnings.
