Investors Suffer N103 Billion Loss as Insurance and Banking Stocks Decline
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX) witnessed a decline in investor wealth, with a total loss of N103 billion. This downturn was largely driven by sell pressure in the insurance and banking sectors, which led to a 1.32% and 0.04% decline in the NGX Insurance Index and NGX Banking Index, respectively.

The NGX All-Share Index and market capitalization also depreciated by 0.18% to close the week at 99,743.05 and N56.424 trillion, respectively. This downward trend was partially offset by gains in the oil and gas, consumer goods, pension, and industrial goods sectors, which rose by 0.35%, 0.29%, 0.20%, and 0.10%, respectively.

A total of 53 equities appreciated in price during the week, while 25 equities depreciated, and 76 equities remained unchanged. Fidelity Bank Plc, FBN Holdings Plc, and Veritas Kapital Assurance Plc were the top three equities traded by volume, accounting for 74.80% and 70.37% of the total equity turnover volume and value, respectively.

Analysts at Cowry Asset Management Ltd. predict a mixed sentiment in the market for the next week, driven by low valuation and portfolio repositioning for value stocks. They advise investors to trade in stocks of companies with sound fundamentals, as trading volume patterns continue to fluctuate.

The NGX also announced the listing of NGX30Z4 and NGX PENSIONZ4 Futures Contracts on Wednesday, with prices at N3,905 and N3,885, respectively, and an expiration date of December 20. Additionally, Fidelity Bank Plc’s rights issue of 3.2 billion ordinary shares opened on Thursday and will close on July 29.

Market analysts attribute the decline in investor wealth to various factors, including the recent interest rate hike by the Central Bank of Nigeria, global economic uncertainty, and profit-taking by investors. However, they also note that the current market conditions present opportunities for value investing in fundamentally strong stocks.

In Essence

The Nigerian Stock Exchange experienced a decline in investor wealth during the week ended June 22, 2024, primarily due to sell pressure in the insurance and banking sectors. However, gains in other sectors and the listing of new futures contracts offer a glimmer of hope for investors. As the market continues to evolve, investors are advised to exercise caution and consider value investing in stocks with strong fundamentals.
