10 Stockbroking Firms Trade N2.14trn Worth of Stock in Five Months

Trading activities on the Nigerian Exchange Ltd. (NGX) on Thursday closed on a negative note, with the market capitalisation declining further by N31 billion.

Specifically, the NGX market capitalisation fell by N31 billion, or 0.05 per cent, to close at N66.109 trillion from N66.140 trillion recorded on Wednesday.

Also, the All-Share Index dropped by 0.05 per cent, or 49.26 points, to close at 105,426.12, against 105,475.38 posted the previous day.

The negative performance was attributed to reactionary behaviour exhibited by some investors.

The market breadth closed negative, with 29 losers and 23 gainers.

On the losers’ chart, John Holt declined by 10 per cent to close at N7.74, while Chams Holding dropped by 8.52 per cent to close at N2.04 per share.

Secure Electronic Technology fell by 8.42 per cent to close at 54 kobo, and May & Baker Nigeria lost 7.95 per cent to close at N8.10 per share.

Similarly, UPDC Real Estate Investment Trust declined by 6.90 per cent to close at N2.70 per share.

On the gainers’ chart, FG202031S1 rose by 12.09 percent to close at N97.52, while The Initiates Plc soared by 9.85 per cent to close at N4.46 per share.

Also, Royal Exchange gained 8.99 percent to close at 97k per share.

A total of 423.62 million shares, worth N9.181 billion, were exchanged across 11,393 transactions.

This is compared to 5.760 billion shares, worth N342.605 billion, exchanged across 10,908 transactions recorded earlier.

Transactions in Access Corporation shares topped the activity chart, with 64.962 million shares worth N1.430 billion.

Zenith Bank followed with 41.504 million shares valued at N1.972 billion, while Fidelity Bank transacted 40.703 million shares worth N773.215 million.

Secure Electronic Technology sold 38.419 million shares valued at N20.832 million, and Tantalizers traded 31.503 million shares worth N89.914 million.

Meanwhile, Tajudeen Olayinka, Chief Executive Officer, Wyoming Capital and Partners, said that considering the recent impressive financial results released by United Bank for Africa and Zenith Bank, the stock market should have followed a positive trend.

Olayinka attributed the negative performance to reactionary behaviour from some investors who were not pleased with Zenith Bank’s dividend and reduced share price.

He further described this as mispricing and misjudgment by some investors. (NAN)
