NGX Capitalisation Sheds N480bn, In Aftermath of Markdowns, 11Plc Delisting


Market Update for the Week Ended May 7 and Outlook for May 10-14

The first trading week of May after the public holiday ended mixed and bearish, amid profit taking and price adjustments for corporate actions that dominated the period on a low traded volume. Investors continued to reposition their portfolios on the strength of better-than-expected Q1 numbers recently presented to market.

These corporate earnings boosted investing public confidence, supported the mixed sentiments and buying interests witnessed in the general market, just as some sectors with strong potentials to grow their earnings in the quarters ahead, and outperform the composite Nigerian Exchange’s All-Share index (NGXASI).

Fundamentally, it is believe that equity markets move in cycles, just as stock prices respond to earnings reports on the short to long-run, besides changes brought about certain factors that do occur within the period. In other words, equity price movements follow patterns and trends which enable technical traders or analysts follow trends or forecasts since they repeats themselves. As such, you need to target factors that drive market cycles, equity trends and patterns by fixing your gaze on market forces.

It is necessary to state here, as revealed by market data, that the April-May cycle, especially Q2 of the Nigerian stock market is for position taking, or buying for the year, based on previous full-year and current Q1 earnings season, both of which offer insights into what to expect in the ongoing financial year. It is common knowledge that market reactions to the last quarterly earnings season in a bull or bear cycle depends on factors like liquidity, sentiment and state of the earnings.

Other very important seasons are the half-year results and third quarter earnings reports which help to determine whether the companies maintain positive trends in their numbers, if the earnings are trending up or down to give insight of what is likely to happen when the audited 2022 accounts start flowing in. It becomes the responsibility of investors to keep a tab on the second and third-quarter earnings as they are released to the market.

Just as it has always been, 2021 has, so far, not been any different judging with the first quarter results already released. As expected, savvy investors in the Nigerian equity market should gear up for critical analyses, leading to serious actions and position taking for the best of returns in sectors and stocks in the second half of this year.

One could wonder why investors and market operators alike should focus on half-year results. Put different, why are second and third-quarter results so important to the market? The confirm trends, consolidation of numbers and potential to deliver on dividend expectations, while supporting price, in addition to revealing the financial health of the companies.

Movement Of NSEASI

The benchmark NGXASI witnessed a bearish dominance for three of the week’s four trading sessions under consideration, on a selling pressure and portfolios rebalancing, thereby halting two weeks of positive outings. The impressive Q1 scorecards and low price attractions of many undervalued stocks as earnings improved, reducing price to earnings ratios of the market and individual stocks. The current low price to earnings ratio in the market reveals the prevailing value as the nation’s economic recovery continues despite the lingering security challenges across the country, among others.

Transaction for the week opened slightly negative with a 0.08% loss, thereby short-living the previous session’s uptrend, a trend that was sustained at the midweek and again on Thursday on the back of price markdowns for dividends declared by their boards. There was also the effect of profit-taking from the recent rally that saw the NGX index declining by 0.92% and 0.84% respectively, after which there was an upward reversal on Friday, when the index recovered 0.21% on positive sentiments and buying interests. This bought the week’s total loss to 1.60%, from the previous week’s cumulative 0.43% gain.

In all, the key performance NGXASI lost 635.67 basis points from the 38,834.42bps it opened, after touching intra-week low of 38,875.66bps, before closing the week at 39,198.75 on selling and mixed sentiments. During the period also, market capitalization shed N420bn, closing at N20.43tr, from the previous week’s N20.85tr, a drop that was boosted by the week’s delisting of 11 Plc from NGX Daily official list.

Low and medium cap stocks dominated the advancers’ chart during week, with investors repositioning their portfolios and reacting to the Q1 earnings released, after earnings performance from high cap equities beat expectations amid price adjustment for dividend in Berger Paints, Linkage Assurance, Lafarge Africa, MTNN, Eterna, Seplat, NPF Microfinance and Courteville Business Solution. Also, trading and price actions revealed the presence of profit takers and buyers in some sectors with Q1 numbers that beat investors’ expectations.

The week recorded negative breadth as decliners outnumbered advancers in the ratio of 37:31 on buying sentiments and relatively weak momentum, just as Money Flow Index read 24.21bps, down from 33.50 points in the previous week. During the week also, Seplat released its Q1 numbers, offering an interim dividend of 2.5cent to investors whose names are in its register before the close of business on May 12, 2021.

NSEASI WEEKLY CHART MOVEMENT

The NGX index witnessed a pullback last week on markdown for dividend and profit booking during week in the midst of the ongoing portfolio repositioning on the strength of Q1 earnings reports that beat market expectations.

Going forward, all eyes are on the April inflation report, Purchasing Managers’ Index and Q1 GDP 2021 in the face of rising fixed income yields. There is also an increased volatility rate in the midst of changing price patterns and trading environment, while investors continue accumulating positions in undervalued and growth stocks.

Also, we note that the index has formed a bearish engulfing candlestick that signals a continuation of bear trend on a weekly chart, depending on market forces in the new week. We observe that volume traded was low, as the daily timeframe chart signals a bottom that needs confirmation on Monday. This is likely to continue, depending on how investors react to the Q1 numbers in the remaining sessions of the month.

Nevertheless, we see the market maintaining a mixed trend, especially as investors await key economic data and the March year-end corporate earnings reports, just as the index continues trading above the 39,000 basis points.

The strong support level to watch out for on the NGX is within the 39,000bps and 38,845.16bps, and a breakdown of these levels will attract new positioning by traders and support stronger recovery. This is happening at a time crude oil is approaching $70 per barrel level at the international market, while the Covid-19 vaccination is on a high gear at the global and domestic levels, despite few climates suffering the second wave hit of Covid-19. As positive economic data from US and China support oil prices.

However, we envisage a mixed outlook for the rest of Q2, while not ruling out profit booking and repositioning of portfolios especially after the market recorded a sharp uptrend in 2020.

Our expectation of a mixed outlook is hinged on such factors as the possible impact of corporate earnings, ongoing vaccination, mismatch of monetary and fiscal policies, implementation of the 2021 capital budget, as well as implications of oil prices oscillating on the nation’s revenue. We note too, that impact of the Money Flow Index and MACD are bearish on a weekly chart, but bullish on daily time frame.

Mixed Sectoral Indices

Performance indexes across the sectors were mixed, as NSEOil/Gas, Consumer Goods and Banking closed 5.98%, 0,62% and 0.62% higher respectively, while the NSE Insurance led decliners after losing 2.20%, followed by Industrial goods with 1.60%.

The general market’s outlook remains mixed in the short and long-term following which investors should take short and medium-term positions, while diversifying their portfolios along long-term trades to protect capital. This, they can do, by considering sectors with high upside potentials on the strength of earnings and policy influence.

Activities in volume and value terms were mixed as players exchanged 1.42bn shares worth N15.92bn, compared to the previous week’s 1.44bn units valued at N10.88bn, with the week’s volume was driven by trades in Financial Services, Industrial goods and Consumer goods sectors. Volume was driven by Access Bank, FBNH, Zenith Bank, Lafarge Africa and Transcorp.

The week’s best performing stocks were Royal Exchange Assurance and Sovereign Trust Insurance, which gained 22.64% and 17.39% respectively, closing at N0.65 and N0.27 each on market forces. On the other hand, Linkage Assurance and Courteville Business Solution lost 18.82% and 13.04% respectively, at N0.69 and N0.20 per share on price adjustment for dividend and bonus.

Market Outlook

We expect the mixed trend to continue as portfolio rebalancing and profit taking persist, just as market expects economic data like April Inflation, PMI and Q1 GDP in the face of rising fixed income market yields. Also, the pullback offers new entry opportunities for traders and investors to reposition in value and underpriced growth stocks, while companies with March year-end accounts release their unaudited and audited full-year numbers to support recovery in the new month. This is based on the fact that the rising fixed income yields may not be enough to scare all investors away from the equity market.

Again, the way to go is: Target dividend-paying stocks and fundamentally sound companies with growth prospects in 2021, looking the way of mispriced equities. This is especially given the oscillating oil prices that have so far supported the economy and equity market, despite the seeming improvement in the fixed income yield which had remained at negative real rate of return due to galloping inflation.

However, the strong and faster recovery may continue, depending on market forces, going forward, as propelled by expected Q1 earnings reports, until the next MPC meeting in May.

Also, the current undervalued state of the market offers investors opportunities to position for the short, medium and long-term, which is why investors should target fundamentally sound, and dividend-paying stocks for possible capital appreciation in the new year.

Your Today's decision will determine your direction and ultimately your destiny

Ambrose Here Again...

“More than anything else, I believe it is our decisions, not the conditions of our lives, that determine our destiny.”–Tony Robbins

Fate is what puts opportunities (finance, career, etc) in front of us but your destiny is ultimately determined by your decisions. ... Your destiny is not something you can sit by and let happen to you. We need to take action on the opportunities you are presented with.

Simply put, decisions have incredible power over our lives. Think of all the aspects of your life you’re thrilled about and the aspects you were not so thrilled about. All of which have one thread in common - they are all the result of the decisions you’ve made.

So if decisions have such great power to shape your life– to change the way you’re thinking, change the way you’re feeling – why don’t you use this power? Why do you put off making decisions? The biggest reason is fear. You often avoid making decisions because you’re afraid of failing.

The truth is, if you make the wrong decision, at least you’ll find out quickly, and correct it. You are never going to know by sitting on the fence.

Now the question is why are you afraid to take that bold step and make that decision regarding that thought that keeps coming to your mind, and then despite the obvious fact that life is now turning into a new normal.

However, the hardest part about pursuing your dreams is deciding to do so. After that, it is easy. It is being on the fence that makes you feel frustrated and unhappy.

Today, challenge yourself to let go of the fear. Let go of your desire to be perfect and make one decision.

Here is also another decision you would not regret making. That is by Investing in your Financial power.

So, tomorrow, there is going to be a big announcement that will transform your entire approach towards trading!!. I hope you are ready for it?.

Dedicated to Your Financial Freedom
Ambrose Omordion

WORDS TO TRADE BY

"Outperforming the market is a difficult task."

-John Templeton

While outperforming the average returns of the market isn't impossible, it is tough.
Only a few very serious traders have ever pulled it off on a consistent basis.
That's why it's important to focus your efforts on matching the average return of whatever market you are trading in.
The market has a mind of its own and can be unpredictable.
So if you can reach its average return, you're doing fine.

Don't get greedy.
Use your trading strategy to minimize your risk and maximize your returns on a regular basis.
Remember, consistent profit is better than sporadic profit if you're thinking long-term!

Investment › Re: Investdata Market Updates For Investors And Traders Forum by ACAN(op): 9:06am On May 04, 2021
WORDS TO TRADE BY

"No one can see ahead three years, let alone five or ten. Competition, new inventions - all kinds of things - can change the situation in twelve months."

-Thomas Rowe Price, Jr.

The market is fluid. It's constantly ebbing and flowing like the tide. Anyone who claims they can predict what the market will do years from now is selling snake oil.
But with proper research and an understanding of market timeframes, a trader can see upcoming changes on a daily basis.
Don't try to be a financial prophet. Stick with what you know about in the here and now. Watch market trends and adjust your trading strategy accordingly. Remember that you're in this for the long run.

NGX Rebounds On Buying Interests, Positive Sentiments For Q1 Earnings, Corporate Actions


Market Roundup for April 2021

Transactions on the Nigerian Stock Exchange closed positively on Friday to end the month of April higher, thereby halting two months of correction and pullbacks on renewed buying interests and positive sentiments, with investors reacting positively to corporate actions, while weighing the outpouring of Q1 numbers in the midst of rising inflation and yields in the fixed income space.

History repeated itself again this year, as the transactions on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) closed positive for the month of April, confirming a 20-year market data analysis of INVESTDATA research. According to the data, the month of April and, indeed, Q2 over the years, have remained a period of position taking on the Nigerian equities market, closing in the green for 12 of the 20-year period, and down in eight years.

Meanwhile, the influx of Q1 financials, few second and third quarter numbers, coupled with unaudited full-year March accounts boosted market recovery this year.

The candlestick pattern that represents the month’s trading activities fully consumed the pattern in the month of March, while technically forming a bullish engulfing and hammer candle that supports a reversal and uptrend. This is therefore signaling the beginning of a short bull-run in the new month, depending on market forces.

Combining this fact with the current situation in the market, we conclude that the market has a stronger possibility of rallying in the month of May, apart from the rising Treasury Bill rates and bond yields that remain threats to the equity prices. Investors reaction to the first quarter numbers recently released and the qualification dates for dividends will determine how far the market will go in this new month.

Nevertheless, we note that economic fundamentals are still mixed and dicey, as all eyes are on such data as the Q1 GDP report, April inflation, Purchasing Managers’ Index, and indeed, the outcome of this month’s Monetary Policy Committee meeting, given the new realities, will go a long way in influencing market performance. We see the on-going fasting and abstinence during the Islamic month of Ramadan by Muslims across the globe, and the usual food scarcity that normally characterize planting season, further impacting Nigeria’s inflation rate negatively. We expect a significant positive adjustment in food inflation, especially with the rising insecurity challenges that have driven farmers off their farms and businesses.

The NGX recorded 20 trading sessions during the month under review, to close higher, with the composite NGX All-Share index oscillated, with 12 trading days of up market, and eight sessions of down market during the period. The benchmark index gained 795.15 points, closing at 39,834.42bp after breaking out the resistance levels of 39,412.30and 39,686.43 from its 39,045.13bp opening level, representing 2.02% growth over the period.

The buying volume of total transactions for the month was 100%, halting the previous months’ down market, as volume index for the period stood at 0.79, while market capitalisation recording N42bn growth to N20.85tr, from an opening value of N20.43tr, representing 2.02% appreciation in value. The market had positive sentiments and reactions to the audited financials and Q1 scorecards that beat investors and analysts’ estimates. The month’s traded volume was down by 37.87% at 5.43bn shares, from 8.74bn units in the previous month.

The NSE All-Share index’s year-to-date loss position stood at 1.08%, just as market capitalisation adjusted down to N209.88 billion representing 0.99% lost YTD from the opening value.

Market breadth for April was however negative as decliners outpaced advancers in the ratio of 51:39 to short-lived the bear transition, reflecting the mixed economic data, positive sentiments and the barrage of first quarter earnings reports that hit the market. The earnings reports were impressive and higher than market expectations, especially such sectors as Healthcare, Agro-Business, Industrial goods, Telecommunication, Energy, few from Banking and consumer goods. They helped the major index to close positively, except for Banking index that was down on the performing sectors chart for April.

The sectoral performance chart below shows that premium stocks propelled the market the most in the period under review, gaining 6.93%, compared to 2.02% rally recorded by the benchmark NGX All Share Index. It was followed by the NSE pension which rose by 3.56%, reflecting investor confidence in dividend paying stocks, especially blue chip companies and their resilience over the years; ahead of the NSE industrial goods index, which moved 3.06% up.

This was attributed to the high payout and impressive numbers after it led 2020 price rally in the large cap companies and sector, amidst the relatively low Price-To-Earnings attraction in the market. Other indexes that closed green during the month were: NSE Consumer goods, Energy NSE 50 Index, NSE 30, and NSE Growth. On the flip side, the NSE Banking index took the lead with its 4.76% slip; followed by NSE Insurance with1.49%.


Best Performing Stocks for April

The month’s best performer was Royal Exchange Assurance, whichis one of the major low price stocks benefiting from the recapitalization activities in its sector, as the market expects it 2020 full year and Q1 2021 results, as thestock closed the month better by gaining a significant 89.29% of its opening price for the month. It was followed by Linkage Assurance, which chalked 41.67%; while Japaul Gold took 36.36%; and Consolidated Hallmark Insurance, 30%.

Low cap companies dominated the top gainers for the month included: Meyer 26.83%; Transcorp, 15.38%; among others.

Worst Performing Stocks for April

The top losers table was led by NCR, which shed 18.64%, on the back of its obviously unimpressive performance, just as market forces and mixed sentiment dragged Unity Bank down by 17.33%; while Caverton Offshore declined by 14.98%; Guinness Nigeria, 14.24%; and GSK, 13.89% on the back of low dividend payout and unimpressive Q1 numbers.

Technical View on Monthly Time Frame

NGX index action resisted decline technically in the month of April, as it formed a bullish engulfing and hammer candlestick that support reversal and uptrend depending on market forces in the new month. The renewed buying interest and positive sentiment for the financials are likely to continue. The inflow to equity assets as revealed by money flow index supported the seeming reversal on smart money reposition their portfolios.

Where To Invest And Expectations For the Rest of Q2

The global economy and market remain mixed as vaccine driven economic recovery across climates continue, with the World Bank recently upgrading its economic growth outlook based on the ongoing vaccination and government polices at different level.

Back home, the seeming economic recovery and mixed indicators are likely to continue in the new month as we expect moreeconomic data and the events to confirm the real state of the nation’s economy as implementation of the 2021 national budget continues. This will be helped by the CBN’s continued intervention in critical sectors to boost productivity needed to create employment and support recovery. Reasons for this are not far-fetched, given the impact of Covid 19 and insecurity in the system.

In May, we expect the release of April consumer price index (CPI) by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) that would likely show that inflation is rising further; just as the CBN’s Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for April is equally expected in this May. The nation’s GDP is also expected this month and would confirm the true state of the economy.

As corporate earnings reporting season has been extended to May and June for the few March year-end accounts, the fundamentals of these earnings and dividend declaration will support the ongoing positive outlook in market. Also, we note that many high cap stocks have this month as their qualification and mark down dates, a situation that will keep the market oscillating and at the same support recovery.

Traders and investors who understand the importance of combining fundaments and technical analysis in making investment decisions in the stock market should take this opportunity to position in some sectors for medium and short-term gains, especially the banking, telecom, Industrial,agribusiness and consumer goods after a carefully study of recent numbers beingmade available to the market.

What to expect in May and June

Release of more quarterly and full year earnings. Earnings from blue-chip companies may strengthen market fundamentals in May.
Continuation of oscillating trend of equity prices as a result of repositioning of portfolio along the line of positive numbers and profit taking. Also the second half of this year will likely be dominated by positive sentiment.
Market outlook for May is mixed but remain dicey, in line with popular saying that traders always “sell in May and come back in October,” which may not be applicable in the current trend of our market that has changed in the last five years. In the Nigerian market, the month of May has closed positively in 13 times over the 20 years. But with the impressive Q1 numbers so far; the oil price oscillating above $64 per barrel in the global market and the CBN intervening in the FX market to create stability.
The sustained low valuation in the market may trigger high demand for stocks as players realign their portfolios. However, there is need to invest wisely, using bids, offers and volume when taking decisions as a trader.

Managing risks and protecting capital at this point is very important, so you will determine when to buy or sell, by watching the stocks and the market, using technical analysis. Look for investdata daily sentiment timing report and home study video packs
Let numbers released by the companies guide your decision and time to stay in that position.
Full-year earnings reports of March year-end companies will start hitting the market this month until June.
As the market phase is changing, it is time to combine fundamentals and technical tools to take decision by knowing the support and resistant levels to reposition or exit any position.

Mixed Trend Yet, As Investors Review CBN Action On FBNH, Amidst Rush To Beat Q1 Report Deadline


Market Update for April 29

Equity prices closed higher on the Nigerian Exchange, Thursday, reversing the loss suffered in the previous session as investors reacted to positive and impressive earnings reports released so far to the market. The earnings have given an insight of a possible stronger first quarter GDP data that would be released by the National Bureau of Statistics, as more Q1 numbers expectedly hit the NGX platform on Friday, being the last trading session for any company to meet the regulatory deadline in line with its post-listing requirement.

The expected Q1 GDP and April Manager Purchasing Index reports from NBS and the Central Bank of Nigeria respectively would also give a direction as to where the economy is headed, besides supporting the seeming recovery as market players realign their portfolios also on the strength of scorecards flowing in.

As the NGX index action breaks out another resistance level of 39,412.15 on the back of positive earnings from Okomu Oil Palm, UACN, Vitafoam, Fidson Healthcare, Julius Berger, May and Baker, as well as Access Bank, among others. This has been aided by buying interests in high cap stocks like Dangote Cement and MTNN that pushed the market higher on price appreciation.

The positive sentiments at the end of the Thursday’s trading, with money flow index still above 60points, and oil price oscillating above $64 per barrel, with forecast that it could touch $80pb by the second half of this year, the market is likely to close positively this month and quarter all things being equal. History is about to repeat itself again as revealed by investdata’s 20-year market data analysis which shows the month of April and Q2 as a period of position taking on the Nigeria equities market.

These Q1 numbers and unfolding events in the economy should provide a clear direction for the purpose of repositioning your portfolios ahead of qualification dates in the new month, just as the market would, expectedly, further react to the face-off between FBN Holdings and the CBN. Already, FBNH’s share price suffered a 6% loss on Thursday.

All things considered, Investdata urges investors to play the market wisely by letting investment goals guide their decisions, especially entry and exit strategies necessary to ensure they not only survive, but profit from the expected new trend. Be guided also by current price patterns and money flow index now supporting a trend continuation as funds continue entering the market, just as we expect Friday’s trading to confirm direction.

Thursday’s trading opened on the upside after midweek’s pullback on Dangote Cement’s price adjustment for dividend declared by its directors, as well as the sustained uptrend throughout the session on buying interests across high, medium and low cap stocks. This was due to positive earnings that pushed the NGX index to an intraday high of 39,468.34 basis points, from its low of 38,738.06bps, after which the index closed higher above its opening level at 39,461.20, bps on a less than average traded volume.

The day’s market technicals were positive and strong, with volume traded higher than previous day’s in the midst of positive breadth and buying pressure, as revealed by Investdata’s Sentiments Report showing 99% ‘buy’ volume and 1% sell position. Total transaction volume index stood at 0.83 points, just as momentum behind the day’s performance was relatively strong as Money Flow Index read 61.81pts, from the previous day’s 63.61pts, indicating that funds left the market, despite the up market.

Index and Market Caps

At the end of Thursday’s trading also, the composite index gained 679.72ps, closing at 39,461.20bps after opening at 39,303.09bps, representing a 1.8% growth, just as market capitalization was up by N355.73bn, closing at N20.65tr, also representing 1.8% appreciation in value.

Attention: If you have not signed up for Investdata buy and sell signal setup, don’t delay. We have just reduced to 8 STOCKS TO WATCH THAT ARE BUILDING NEW BULLISH BASE in our watchlist. These stocks are with double potentials to rally considering their current and oscillating mood of the market value.

To become a member, send ‘YES’ or ‘STOCKS’ to the phone numbers below. Take advantage of this service to buy right and sell right at the current oscillating market in the midst of earnings season, portfolio reshuffling and repositioning as we await an economic reform policy to stimulate and re-track the economy again.

Thursday’s upturn resulted from buying interests in Dangote Cement, MTNN, Zenith Bank, Okomu Oil, Vitafoam, Julius Berger, Fidson, UACN, and Africa Prudential, among others, which impacted positively on Year-To-Date loss that reduced to 2.01%. The decline in market capitalization YTD loss stood at N354.10bn, representing a 1.86% drop below its opening value for the year.

Mixed Sector Indices

Performance indexes across the sectors were mixed, as NGX Banking and Consumer goods closed 1.30% and 0.20% lower respectively, while Industrial goods led the advancers after gaining 3.58%, followed by Insurance 1.36% higher.

Market breadth turned positive, as advancers outpaced decliners in the ratio of 24:17; with activities in volume and value terms were up as players traded 270.68m shares worth N2,03bn, compared to the previous day’s 259.51m units valued at N1.91bin. Volume was boosted by trades in FBNH, Transcorp, Ekocorp, Sovereign Trust Insurance and Access Bank.

Julius Berger and Fidson Healthcare were the best performing stocks, gaining 10% each, closing at N20.90 and N5.28 per share on positive sentiment and impressive earnings. On the flip side, Computer warehouse Group and Mutual Benefits Assurance lost 9.84% and 7.5% respectively, closing at N2.29 and N0.37per share, on selloffs and profit taking.

Market Outlook

We expect the mixed trend still, as investors react to CBN and FBNH saga in the midst of positive earnings, in expectation of more Q1 corporate earnings reports, besides profit taking, even in the face of rising virus cases across the globe and high yields in fixed income space. We also expect continued portfolio realignments on the strength of the earnings performance released so far, and ahead of economic data like the 2021Q1 GDP report, and Purchasing Managers’ Index, among others.

Also, the market has moved out of its trading range, waiting to breakout the next resistance level of 39,412.15bps, while trading above the 14 and 20-Day Moving Average. Note that the market may discount the prospects of high cap companies and some blue chip stocks, ahead of their earnings reports.

However, the pullbacks offer bargain hunters and income investors fresh opportunities to reposition in high dividend yields and undervalued stocks, while looking out for quarterly numbers that would support recovery. This is based on the fact that the rising fixed income yields may not be enough to scare all investors away from the equity market.

Again, the way to go is: Target dividend-paying stocks and fundamentally sound companies with growth prospects in 2021, looking the way of mispriced equities. This is especially given the rising oil prices that have so far supported the economy and equity market, despite the seeming improvement in the fixed income yield which had remained at negative real rate of return due to the subsisting high inflation.

However, the strong and faster recovery may continue, depending on market forces, going forward, as propelled by 2020 full numbers and expected 2021 Q1 earnings reports, until the next MPC meeting in May.

The NSE’s index action and indicators are heading in the same direction on a low traded volume and positive buying sentiments in the midst of rising yield in bonds and TB.

Also, the current undervalued state of the market offers investors opportunities to position for the short, medium, and long-term, which is why investors should target fundamentally sound, and dividend-paying stocks for possible capital appreciation in the new year.

Mindset Wisdom

"Bottoms in the investment world don't end with four-year lows; they end with 10- or 15-year lows." Jim Rogers

While 10 to 15-year lows are not common, they do happen. During these times, don't be shy about going against the trend and investing; you could make a fortune by making a bold move or lose your shirt. Invest in an industry you've researched thoroughly. Then, be prepared to see your investment sink lower before it turns around and starts to pay off.

Cautious Trading Yet, As Investors, Await Major 2020Q1 Earnings, Data For Market Direction


Market Update for April 28

The mixed and volatile trend on the Nigerian Exchange continued at the midweek as the benchmark NGX All-Share index (NGXASI) closed again slightly lower on a less than average traded volume and negative breadth. This indicated profit booking among the four major sectors of the market in the midst of impressive Q1 numbers and expectation of major economic data like 2021 Q1 GDP, April Purchasing Manger Index and others.

This was despite the seeming mixed sentiments in the last two trading sessions, the impressive Q1 corporate earnings from United Capital, Fidson Healthcare, Livestock Feeds, Julius Berger, May and Baker, as well as Fidelity Bank, among others.

Consequently, with money flow index still looking up at above 60points, and oil price oscillating above $60 per barrel and forecast that it could hit $80pb in the second half of this year, the market is likely to close positively this month and quarter all things being equal. History is about to repeat itself again as revealed by investdata’s 20-year market data analysis which shows the month of April and Q2 as a period of position taking on the Nigeria equities market.

The market is still expecting Q1 results from the banking sector, especially from industry leaders such as Zenith Bank, Access Bank, FBNH and other movers and shakers that are yet to release their Q1 scorecards which are likely to support the ongoing recovery moves, in the face of profit taking and rising yields in the fixed income market.

These Q1 numbers and unfolding events in the economy should provide a clear direction for the purpose of repositioning your portfolios ahead of qualification dates and subsequent results in this new financial year.

All things considered, Investdata urges investors to play the market wisely by letting investment goals guide their decisions, especially entry and exit strategies necessary to survive and profit from the expected new trend. Be guided also by current price patterns and money flow index now supporting a trend continuation as funds continue entering the market, just as we expect Thursday trading to confirm direction.

Meanwhile, midweek’s tradingstarted on the downside and oscillated for the rest of the session on profit booking and reaction to the positive earnings that pushed the composite index to an intraday low of 39,268.19 basis points, from its high of 39,338.82bps. Thereafter, the index closed slightly below the opening level at 39,303.09bps.

Midweek’s market technicals were mixed and weak, with volume traded higher than previous day’s in midst of breadthfavoring thebears on mixed sentiments, as revealed by Investdata’s Sentiments Report showing 49% ‘buy’ volume and 51% sell position. Total transaction volume index stood at 0.80 points, just as impetus behind the day’s performance was relatively strong. Money Flow Index was looking up to 63.61pts, from the previous day’s 62.48pts, indicating that funds entered the market, despite closing flat.

Index and Market Caps

The key performance index, at the end of day’s trading, shed a marginal 2.39ps, closing at 39,303.09bps after opening at 39,305.48bps, representing a 0.01% drop, just as market capitalization lost N2.06bn, closing at N20.57tr, also representing 0.01% value loss.

Attention: If you have not signed up for Investdata buy and sell signal setup, don’t delay. We have just reduced to 8 STOCKS TO WATCH THAT ARE BUILDING NEW BULLISH BASE in our watchlist. These stocks are with double potentials to rally considering their current and oscillating mood of the market value.

Take advantage of this service to buy right and sell right at the current oscillating market in the midst of earnings season, portfolio reshuffling and repositioning as we await an economic reform policy to stimulate and re-track the economy again.

Wednesday’s downturn was due to profit taking in UACN, PZ Cussons, Ardova, Guinness, Custodian Invest, Access Bank, Guaranty Trust Bank, FBNH, International Breweries, Neimeth Pharmaceuticals and FTN Cocoa, among others. This impacted mildly on Year-To-Date loss, which increased to 2.40%. The decline in market capitalization also increased YTD loss to N590.10bn, representing a 2.32% drop below its opening value for the year.

Bearish Sector Indices

Performance indexes across the sectors were down, except for NSE Oil/Gas that closed 5.26% higher, while Insurance led the decliners after shedding 3.23%, followed by Banking, Consumer and Industrial goods with 0.69%, 0.64% and 0.48% lowers.

Market breadth turned negative, as decliners outnumberedadvancers in the ratio of 22:19; with transactions in volume and value terms were mixed as stockbrokers crossed 259.51m shares worth N1.91bn, compared to the previous day’s 252.57m units valued at N1.77bn. Volume was boosted by trades in FBNH, Transcorp, Zenith Bank, Sovereign Trust Insurance and United Capital.

Consolidated Hallmark Insurance and Portland Paints were the best performing stocks, gaining 10% and 8.33% respectively, closing at N0.33 and N2.60 per share on market forces and sentiment. On the flip side, FTN Cocoa and Neimeth Pharm lost 10% and 8.95% respectively, closing at N0.36 and N1.78per share, on selloffs and market forces.

Market Outlook

We expect the mixed and positive trend to continue as investors continue reacting positively to impressive Q1 numbers in expectation of more earnings reports in the market this period besides the profit taking, even in the face of rising virus cases across the globe and high yields in fixed income space. We also expect continued portfolio realignments on the strength of the earnings performance released so far, and ahead of economic data like the 2021Q1 GDP report, and Purchasing Managers’ Index, among others.

Expect Realignments On Earnings Inflow, Economic Data, As NGXASI Awaits Next Resistance Level

Market Update for April 27

It was yet another mixed and volatile Tuesday on Nigerian Exchange (NGX), as the composite All-Share index closed marginally lower on a less than average traded volume, but positive breadth, which halted seven successive sessions of bull-run. This was due to profit-taking by traders in banking stocks, especially those that recently rallied in the midst of earnings season and expectations.

The Q1 numbers released so far from the banking sector had been mixed, but investors are traders are eagerly awaiting those of industry leaders such as Zenith Bank, Access Bank, and FBNH to provide a clear direction for the purpose of repositioning. This is especially after Fidelity Bank, became the very first second-tier bank to submit its earnings, beating market expectations, after posting Earnings Per Share of 33 kobo, compared to the previous 20 kobo in 2020. The 64% growth in its profitability level, from a top line of 8% is a good start for the new financial year (READ MORE).

This mixed trend on the NGX would likely continue beyond this month as income investors follow corporate action dates for dividend qualification and markdown for the rest of the month, and in May. For example, we note that the share prices of Dangote Cement and Caverton Offshore will be adjusted on Wednesday for the N16 and N0.10 dividends respectively proposed by their boards, while 11Plc, Eterna, Lafarge Africa and Berger Paints have their qualification dates between April 29 and 30th, 2021. These qualifications and price adjustments will influence market performance and direction, given that all eyes are now on 2021 Q1 GDP data expected from the National Bureau of Statistics, in anticipation of sincere and concrete moves by the Federal Government to check the rising insecurity in the nation and douse the tension in the land.

Investdata expects trading for the month of April to close slightly up, while the uptrend continues as the movers and shakers of the market are yet to release their Q1 numbers which are likely to support the ongoing recovery moves. This is in the midst of profit-taking and rising yields as primary market auction is expected to hold on Wednesday and Thursday.

All things considered, Investdata urges investors to play the market wisely by letting investment goals guide their decisions, especially entry and exit strategies necessary to survive and profit from the expected new trend. Be guided also by current price patterns and money flow index now supporting a trend continuation as funds continue entering the market, just as we expect midweek trading to confirm direction.

Tuesday’s trading started on the downside and oscillated on profit booking and positioning that pushed the key performance index to an intraday low of 39,272.01 basis points, from its high of 39,327.41bps. Thereafter, the index closed slightly below the opening level at 39,305.48bps, even as market technicals were mixed and positive, with volume traded lower than previous day’s.

Market breadth favoured the bulls on mixed sentiments, as revealed by Investdata’s Sentiments Report showing 60% ‘buy’ volume and 40% sell position. Total transaction volume index stood at 0.79 points, just as impetus behind the day’s performance was relatively strong. Money Flow Index was looking up to 62.486pts, from the previous day’s 60.86pts, indicating that funds entered the market, despite the seeming profit taking.

Index and Market Caps

At the close of Tuesday’s trading, the benchmark NGX All Share Index shed a marginal 13.04ps, closing at 39,305.48bps after opening at 39,318.52bps, representing a 0.03% drop, just as market capitalization fell by N6.82bn, closing at N20.57tr, having opened at N20.58tr, also representing 0.03% value loss.

billion Attention: If you have not signed up for Investdata buy and sell signal setup, don’t delay. We have just reduced to 8 STOCKS TO WATCH THAT ARE BUILDING NEW BULLISH BASE in our watchlist.

Take advantage of this service to buy right and sell right at the current oscillating market in the midst of earnings season, portfolio reshuffling and repositioning as we await an economic reform policy to stimulate and re-track the economy again.

The session’s downturn was due to profit taking instocks like Zenith Bank, Access Bank, Guaranty Trust Bank, UBA, FBNH, and ETI, among others. This impacted mildly on Year-To-Date loss, which increased to 2.40%. The decline in market capitalization also increased to N590.10bn, representing a 2.32% drop below its opening value for the year.

Bullish Sector Indices

The sectorial indexes were bullish, except for NSE Banking that closed 0.6% lower, while Insurance led the advancers after gaining 0.96%, followed by Oil/Gas.

Market breadth was positive, as advancers outnumbered decliners in the ratio of 23:16; with activities in volume and value terms were down as investors exchanged 252.57m shares worth N1.77bn, compared to the previous day’s 329.74m units valued at N2.06bn. Volume was boosted by trades in Access Bank, Transcorp, Fidelity Bank, Guaranty Trust Bank and Zenith Bank.

Prestige Assurance and Wema Bank were the best performing stocks, gaining 9.52% and 8.77% respectively, closing at N0.46 and 0.62 per share on market forces and the four kobo dividend by the latter’s directors. On the flip side, Consolidated Hallmark Insurance and University Press lost 9.09% and 8.55% respectively, closing at N0.30 and N1.17per share, on profit taking.

Market Outlook

We expect the mixed and positive trend to continue as investors continue reacting to the Q1 corporate earnings expected to hit the market this period besides the profit taking, even in the face of rising virus cases across the globe and high yields in fixed income space. We also expect continued portfolio realignments on the strength of earnings performance released so far, ahead of economic data like the 2021Q1 GDP report, and Purchasing Managers’ Index, among others.

Also, the market has moved out of its trading range, waiting to breakout the next resistance level of 39,412.15bps, while trading above the 14 and 20-Day Moving Average.

The NSE’s index action and indicators are heading in the same direction on a low traded volume and positive buying sentiments in the midst of rising yield in bond and TB.

Also, the current undervalued state of the market offers investors opportunities to position for the short, medium and long-term, which is why investors should target fundamentally sound, and dividend-paying stocks for possible capital appreciation in the new year.

Investors Realign Portfolios On NGX Ahead Of Major Economic Data, Q1 Earnings

Market Update for April 26
Trading for last week of April, which is the first month of the second quarter of 2021 started on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) positive, despite being highly volatile, with a reduced gaining momentum, extending previous week’s bull-run and dominance. This is just as the market entered the peak of the Q1 earnings reporting season in anticipation of major earnings from the banking sector, as well as high cap stocks capable of influencing market performance and movement.

The high volume traded at the end of the seven straight trading sessions of bull transition calls for caution, because it may signal profit taking that needs confirmation during Tuesday’s session, as buying interests remain high as revealed by the positive market breadth. Note that recent pullbacks have made the valuation of fundamentally sound stocks attractive, as many now offer a higher margin of safety. This is especially true of companies with high potentials to grow their numbers in this current year, an insight of which we will in their first quarter outings.

The positive sentiments and vibrations around the stock market continued as revealed by money flow index and the sentiment report, despite the mixed Q1 numbers released by Ecobank Transnational Incorporated and BOC Gases. Specifically, the result from ETI was above market expectation, as shown by the rise in top and bottom lines by 10% and 25% respectively, while that of BOC Gases showed a decline in both indicators to signal a slow start.

We see the ongoing Q1 earnings season influencing the market, considering the undervalued state of some stocks with potentials to outperform inflation, as well as yields in Treasury Bills and government bonds. This projection is based on the level of funds flowing into the equity space at this time and knowing that capital gains and dividend rewards associated with stock market investing and trading are better hedges against the galloping inflation.

Investdata, therefore, expects equity market players to invest wisely, guided by their own set investment objectives, especially entry and exit strategies necessary to survive and profit from the expected new trend.

As such, should the Q1 earnings reports and corporate actions of the stocks you have positioned ahead fail to impact and support this recovery, a big rotation in sector trends should also guide you, going into the future. There other factors such as this third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic blowing across the globe, as well as the oscillating oil prices and profit-taking, that may slow down the current recovery, because the market offers short-term trading opportunities.

Meanwhile, Monday’s trading opened on the downside in the early trading hours, before rebounding and oscillated on increased buying sentiments and profit taking in low priced equities and blue chip stocks. This pushed the benchmark NGX All-Share index to an intraday high of 39,332.82 basis points, from its lows of 39,256.36bps, before from its lows of 39,256.36bps, and berthing above its opening figure at 39,318.32bps.

The day’s market technicals were positive and strong, with volume traded higher than previous day’s in the midst of breadth favouring the bulls on a high buying sentiment as revealed by Investdata’s Sentiments Report showing 83% ‘buy’ volume and 17% sell position. Total transaction volume index stood at 1.02 points, just as momentum behind the day’s performance was relatively strong. Money Flow Index was looking up to 60.86pts, from the previous day’s 53.74pts, indicating that funds entered the market.

Index and Market Caps

Thecomposite NGXASI, at the close of the day trading, inched up by 16.70ps, closing at 39,318.52bps after opening at 39,301.82bps, representing a 0.04% up, just as market capitalization rose by N8.73bn, closing at N20.58tr, from an opening value of N20.57tr, which also represented 0.04% value gain.

billion Attention: If you have not signed up for Investdata buy and sell signal setup, don’t delay. We have just reduced to 8 STOCKS TO WATCH THAT ARE BUILDING NEW BULLISH BASE in our watchlist. These stocks are with double potentials to rally considering their current and oscillating mood of the market value.

To become a member, send ‘YES’ or ‘STOCKS’ to the phone numbers below. Take advantage of this service to buy right and sell right at the current oscillating market in the midst of earnings season, portfolio reshuffling and repositioning as we await an economic reform policy to stimulate and re-track the economy again.

Monday’s marginal upturn resulted in buying interests in in Lafarge Africa, Nigerian Breweries, Access Bank, Guaranty Trust Bank, Africa Prudential, United Capital, May and Baker, Transcorp and Livestock, among others. This impacted mildly on Year-To-Date loss, reducing it to 2.36%, just as market capitalization loss dropped to N589.10bn, or 2.28% below its opening value for the year.

Mixed Sector Indices

Performance indexes across the sectors were mixed, as the NSE Insurance and Industrial Goodsclosed higher by 4.30% and 1.36% respectively, while the NSE Energy index led the decliners after losing 0.91%, followed by Banking and Consumer goods with 0.25% and 0.05% lower.

Market breadth was positive, as advancers outnumbered decliners in the ratio of 25:17; with transactions in volume and value terms were mixed after players traded 329.74m shares worth N2.06bn, compared to the previous day’s 287.04m units valued at N3.04bn. Volume was boosted by trades in Transcorp, FBNH, AXA Mansard Insurance, Access Bank and Guaranty Trust Bank.

Transcorp and Linkage Assurance were the best performing stocks, gaining 10% each, closing at same N0.88 per share on improving earnings and dividend reward. On the flip side, Conoil and Ikeja Hotel lost 9.33% and 9.09% respectively, closing at N17.00 and N1.00per share, on profit taking and selloffs

Market Outlook

We expect the mixed and positive trend to continue with investors reacting to the Q1 corporate earnings expected to hit the market this week, besides profit taking, even in the face of rising virus cases across the globe and high yields in fixed income space. There are also to be expected, continued portfolio realignments ahead of economic data like the 2021Q1 GDP report, and Purchasing Managers’ Index, among others.

Also, the market has moved out of its trading range, waiting to breakout the next resistance level of 39,412.15bps, while trading above the 14 and 20-Day Moving Average. Note that the market may discount the prospects of high cap companies and some blue chip stocks, ahead of earnings season.

However, the pullbacks offer bargain hunters and income investors fresh opportunities to reposition in high dividend yields and undervalued stocks, while looking out for quarterly numbers that would support recovery. This is based on the fact that the rising fixed income yields may not be enough to scare all investors away from the equity market.

Again, the way to go is: Target dividend-paying stocks and fundamentally sound companies with growth prospects in 2021, looking the way of mispriced equities. This is especially given the rising oil prices that have so far supported the economy and equity market, despite the seeming improvement in the fixed income yield which had remained at negative real rate of return due to the subsisting high inflation.

However, the strong and faster recovery may continue, depending on market forces, going forward, as propelled by 2020 full numbers and expected 2021 Q1 earnings reports, until the next MPC meeting in May.

The NSE’s index action and indicators are heading in the same direction on a low traded volume and positive buying sentiments in the midst of rising yield in bond and TB.

Also, the current undervalued state of the market offers investors opportunities to position for the short, medium and long-term, which is why investors should target fundamentally sound, and dividend-paying stocks for possible capital appreciation in the new year.

Mixed Trend Still, As Investors Position On Q1 Earnings Releases, Fixed Income Yields


Market Update for the Week Ended April 23 and Outlook for April 26-30

It was a bullish but volatile week on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), as investors renewed their buying interest across sectors, halting three consecutive weeks of decline, with the benchmark All Share index’s action resisted further decline for two weeks. It formed sideways, or ranging market in the midst of Q1 corporate earnings and economic data releases.

The market maintained positive sentiment and momentum on mixed Q1 numbers released so far and low price attraction of fundamentally sound equities with strong potentials to grow their earnings performance this year, as shown by recent scorecards. These, as well as unfolding events in the economy are offering insights as to which sectors and industries to look for early positioning, no minding the rise in fixed income yields, oscillating oil prices, high national debt profile and declining reserve.

The lingering volatility in the market at this time is a sign that investor confidence is gradually return as more companies release their quarterly scorecards and give the outlook for the new financial year, besides hinting of the economic performance for Q1. The positive mood of the market and NGX ASI index action uptrend is shown by improved transactions and positive breadth, regardless of the low traded volume.

We see the ongoing Q1 earnings season influencing the market, considering the undervalued state of some stocks with potential to outperform inflation, as well as yields in Treasury Bills and bonds. This is given the capital gains and dividend rewards associated with stock market investing and trading, following Investdata expects equity market players to invest wisely, guided by set investment objectives, especially entry and exit strategies necessary to survive and profit from the expected new trend.

Investors and traders should at this point must, target what they consider the right sectors and stocks for higher capital gains and yields and in the process stay above inflation in the short-term. It is for this reason that the equity market remains the best investment hedge, regardless of the rising yields in the fixed income market.

Movement Of NSEASI

The nation’s equity market witnessed a bullish dominance for five trading sessions of the week under review, on positive sentiments and strong buying interests, thereby reversing the preceding three successive weeks of negative outing. The low price attractions of many undervalued stocks and seeming improvement in Q1 2021 earnings reports impacted positively on the benchmark NGXASI which closed the period higher.

Trading for the week opened on a positive note, extending the previous session’s uptrend with a 0.07% gain, a situation that was sustained throughout the week on buying interests in medium, high cap equities and blue-chip stocks across the sectors. This trend continued on Tuesday and at midweek with the NGX index closing 0.43% and 0.29% higher respectively, after which it slowed down on Thursday to 0.01% up. Thereafter, it rebounded powerfully on Friday when the composite index gained 0.43% on strong buying sentiments among the medium cap and low priced equities. This raised the week’s total gain to 1.27%, from the previous 0.15% decline.

Specifically, the NGXASI gained 493.81 basis points from the 38,808.01bps opening level, while touching intra-week high of 39,303,64bps and low of 38,806.28bps, before closing the week at 39,301.82 on a positive sentiments and buying interest inall classes of stocks. Also, market capitalization rose by N26bn, closing at N20.57tr from the previous week’s N20.31tr.

The week advancers table was dominated by medium and low priced stocks as investors reposition their portfolios and react to Q1 earnings released so far. As they discount expectations from high cap equities, amid the markdown activities in Fidelity Bank, Sterling Bank, Total Nigeria, FBN Holdings, AXA Mansard Insurance and NASCON, Also, trading and price patterns reveal the presence of bargain hunters and accumulation in some stocks as their Q1 numbers give insight and direction of what should be expected in the new financial year.

The week’s positive breadth was due to advancers outnumbering decliners in the ratio of 39:24 on a buying sentiment and relatively weak momentum as Money Flow Index read 40.41bps, down from 44.20 points in the previous week. During the week also, NPF Microfinance and Unity Bank released their full-year earnings reports, with the directors of NPF Microfinance recommending 20 kobo dividend per share. Also, the Q1 numbers of UBA, Unilever, Guaranty Trust Bank, Transcorp, Africa Prudential, National Salt and Stanbic IBTC, were released.

NSEASI WEEKLY CHART MOVEMENT

Recovery by the NGXASI recovery move and bullish trend during week were attributed to post-March 2021 inflation rate of 18.17% interpretation on investment and Q1 earnings reports that started hitting the market with impressive numbers beyond market expectations and rising fixed income yields. There is also an increased volatility rate in the midst of changing price patterns and trading environment, while investors continue accumulating positions in undervalued and growth stocks as more 2021Q1 reports are expected.

Also, we note that the index has broken out the first resistance level of 39,291.03 and seven-Day Moving Average to test 20-DMA on a weekly chart to strongly support uptrend on a low traded volume and buying sentiments. This is likely to continue, depending on how investors react to the Q1 numbers in this last trading week of the month.

Nevertheless, we see the market maintaining this uptrend, especially as investors look to economic data and corporate earnings, just as the index continues trading above the 39,000 basis points.

The strong resistance level to watch out for on the NGX is within the 39,412.19bps and 39,578.12bps, and a breakoutof these levels will attract new positioning by traders. This is happening at a time crude oil is trading above $60 per barrel at the international market, while the Covid-19 vaccination is on a high gear at the global and domestic levels.

However, we envisage a mixed outlook for the rest of Q2, while not ruling out profit booking and repositioning of portfolios especially after the market recorded a sharp uptrend in 2020.

Our expectation of a mixed outlook is hinged on such factors as the possible impact of corporate earnings, ongoing vaccination, mismatch of monetary and fiscal policies, implementation of the 2021 capital budget, as well as implications of oil prices oscillating on the nation’s revenue. We note too, that impact of the Money Flow Index and MACD are bearish on a weekly chart, but bullish on daily time frame.

Bullish Sectoral Indices

Performance indexes across the sectors were positive and closed higher, led by the NSE Banking index which chalked 4.82%, followed by Consumer Goods, Industrial goods, Insurance and Energy that closed 1.05%, 0.50%, 0.40% and 0.29% higher respectively.

The general market’s outlook remains mixed in the short and long term following which investors should take short and medium-term positions, while diversifying their portfolios along long-term trades to protect capital. This, they can do, by considering sectors with high upside potentials on the strength of earnings and policy influence.

The recent market recovery or retracement calls for portfolio adjustments and realignments, as unaudited numbers from some companies and sectors will expectedly beat expectations and influence themarket, given the vaccine breakthrough and its administration to drive global and domestic economic recovery, as revealed by the macroeconomic indices.

Transactions in volume and value terms were up by 26.98% and 291.64% respectively, as investors exchanged 1.6bn shares worth N42.14bn, compared to the previous week’s 1.26bn units valued at N10.76bn. Volume was driven by trades in Financial Services, ICT and the Conglomerates sectors, particularly Fidelity Bank, MTNN, Guaranty Trust Bank, Zenith Bank and Transcorp.

PZ Cussons and University Press were the best performing stocks for the week, gaining 21.11% and 19.63% respectively, and closing at N5.45 and N1.28 each on market forces and earnings expectations. On the other hand, FTN Cocoa and Portland Pants lost 22% and 18.09% respectively, at N0.39and N2.40 per share on profit taking and selloffs.

Market Outlook

We expect the mixed trend to continue as players react to impressive earnings and profit taking in expectation of more Q1 corporate earnings to hit the market in the face of rising fixed income market yields. Also, the recovery offers resistance breakout traders and investorsanother opportunity to reposition in value and underpriced growth stocks, while some companies with march year end account release their unaudited and audited full-year numbers to support recovery in the new month. This is based on the fact that the rising fixed income yields may not be enough to scare all investors away from the equity market.

Again, the way to go is: Target dividend-paying stocks and fundamentally sound companies with growth prospects in 2021, looking the way of mispriced equities. This is especially given the oscillating oil prices that have so far supported the economy and equity market, despite the seeming improvement in the fixed income yield which had remained at negative real rate of return due to galloping inflation.

However, the strong and faster recovery may continue, depending on market forces, going forward, as propelled by expected Q1 earnings reports, until the next MPC meeting in May.

Also, the current undervalued state of the market offers investors opportunities to position for the short, medium and long-term, which is why investors should target fundamentally sound, and dividend-paying stocks for possible capital appreciation in the new year.

Mixed Trend Ahead, As Investors Await Key Q1 Earnings, Economic Data


Market Update for April 21

Nigeria’s equity market continued its gaining streak for the fourth day, a direct opposite of its global counterparts that had suffered losses on the back of the increasing number of coronavirus cases and fresh rounds of lockdowns to check the spread and strengthen control measures amidst incidences of vaccine shortages, in the midst of the Q1 earnings season.

Midweek’s trading was volatile as investor confidence are being gradually rekindled as more companies release their quarterly scorecards to point direction for the new financial year and reveal economic performance for Q1, while looking forward to 2021 Q1 GDP.

The benchmark index NGXASI closed on a positive note, with transaction volume that is less than the average on a narrow positive breadth.

The positive sentiment and vibration around the stock market continued at the midweek as revealed by the money flow index and the sentiment report, despite the mixed numbers released so far. For example, the 2021Q1 earnings report released by Guaranty Trust Bank came below market expectation, with earnings per share dropping from N1.70 in the corresponding period of 2020 to N1.55 representing a 9.03% decline.

We see the ongoing Q1 earnings season influencing the market, considering the undervalued state of some stocks with potential to outperform inflation, as well as yields in Treasury Bills and bonds, given that capital gains and dividend rewards that associated with stock market investing and trading. Investdata expects equity market players to invest wisely, guided by set investment objectives, especially entry and exit strategies necessary to survive and profit from the expected new trend.

By so doing, should the Q1 earnings reports and corporate actions fail to impact and support recovery, a big rotation in sector trends should also guide you, going into the future, the second wave of covid 19, oscillating oil price, and profit-taking may slow down the current recovery as the market offers short-term trading opportunities.


Meanwhile, midweek trading opened on the upside and oscillated on increasing buying sentiment among the blue-chip stocks and low priced equities with growth potentials that pushed the composite index, to an intraday high of 39,138.66 basis points, from its lows of 38,975.34bps, and thereafter closed above its opening figure at 39,128.58bps.

The day’s market technicals were positive and mixed, with volume traded lower than the previous days in the midst of breadth favoring the bulls on a high buying sentiment as revealed by Investdata’s Sentiments Report showing 94% ‘buy’ volume and 6% sell position. The total transaction volume index stood at 0.73 points, just as the energy behind the day’s performance was relatively weak. Money Flow Index was looking up to 39.16pts, from the previous day’s 32.02pts, indicating that funds entered the market.

Index and Market Caps

The key performance index NGXASI, at the close of Wednesday’s trading, gained 112.76ps, closing at 39,128.58bps after opening at 39,015.58bps, representing a 0.29% growth, just as market capitalization rose by N59bn, closing at N20.48tr from an opening value of N20.42tr, which also represented 0.29% value gain.

Take advantage of this service to buy right and sell right at the current oscillating market in the midst of earnings season, portfolio reshuffling, and repositioning as we await an economic reform policy to stimulate and re-track the economy again.

Midweek’s upturn was sustained by buying interest in Conoil, Lafarge Africa, NNFM, Zenith Bank, Guaranty Trust Bank, Dangote Sugar, and UBA, among others. This impacted positively on the Year-To-Date loss, which reduced to 2.84 %, just as market capitalization loss dropped to N589.10bn or 2.74% below its opening value for the year.

Mixed Sector Indices

Performance indexes across the sectors were mixed, as the NSE Insurance and Consumer Goods dropped by 1.28% and 0.35% respectively, while the NSE Banking led the advancers after gaining 2.23%, followed by Industrial goods and Energy with 0.39% and 0.34% higher.

Market breadth was slightly positive, as advancers outnumbered decliners in the ratio of 22:21; with transactions in volume and value terms were down after stockbrokers traded 239.25m shares worth N1.66bn, compared to the previous day’s 339.02m units valued at N2.7bn. The day’s volume was boosted by trades in Access Bank, Fidelity Bank, Mutual Benefits, Guaranty Trust Bank, and Transcorp.

Conoil and Studio Press were the best-performing stocks, gaining 9.97% and 9.88% respectively, closing at N18.75 and N1.78 per share on market forces and earnings expectations. On the flip side, Guinness Nigeria and Portland Paints lost 9.89% and 9.85% respectively, closing at N28.7 and N2.38 per share, on profit-taking and selloffs

Market Outlook

We expect the mixed trend and profit-taking as Q1 corporate earnings continue to hit the market in the face of rising virus cases across the globe and high yields in fixed income space, while portfolio realignments continue ahead of such economic data as the 2021Q1 GDP report, PMI and others. Also, the market has moved out of its trading range, as index action broke out the psychological line of 39,000 to trade above the 14 and 20-Day Moving Average, even as the market may discount the prospects for high cap companies as well assome blue-chip stocks ahead of earnings season.

The pullbacks offer bargain hunters and income investors another opportunity to reposition in high dividend yields and undervalued stocks while looking out for quarterly numbers that would support recovery. This is based on the fact that the rising fixed income yields may not be enough to scare all investors away from the equity market.

Again, the way to go is: Target dividend-paying stocks and fundamentally sound companies with growth prospects in 2021, looking the way of mispriced equities. This is especially given the rising oil prices that have so far supported the economy and equity market, despite the seeming improvement in the fixed income yield which had remained at a negative real rate of return due to the subsisting high inflation.

However, the strong and faster recovery may continue, depending on market forces, going forward, as propelled by 2020 full numbers and expected 2021 Q1 earnings reports, until the next MPC meeting in May.

The NSE’s index action and indicators are heading in the same direction on a low traded volume and positive buying sentiments in the midst of rising yield in bonds and TB.

Also, the current undervalued state of the market offers investors opportunities to position for the short, medium, and long-term, which is why investors should target fundamentally sound, and dividend-paying stocks for possible capital appreciation in the new year.

WORDS TO TRADE BY

"No wise pilot, no matter how great his talent and experience, fails to use his checklist."

-Charlie Munger

If you're serious about trading, you need a good trading plan. You wouldn't trust a pilot who didn't take the necessary steps to make sure his plane was ready for flight.

Trying to trade without a proper trade plan is a recipe for disaster.

Get your plan together, map out your goals, and start to trade with discipline and strategy. Your bank account will thank you for years to come.
