Moreover, the stock market posted a year-to-date gain of 24.1 per cent as at May 31, 2022.  So far this year, the Nigerian stock market has a bullish performance. The strong market sentiment was supported by the listing of Dangote Foods Plc, commencement of the PSB operation by MTN Nigeria and Airtel Africa, impressive corporate earnings releases, dividend payments, and low fixed-income yield environment.

Analysts at United Capital Plc noted that “the uptrend has been particularly driven by domestic institutional investors whose investment options have now been somewhat limited to the equities market. Since the turn of Q2, 2022, yields on domestic bonds have trended higher, causing Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) to book mark-to-market losses (particularly those that mark-to-market their bond portfolios) on their bond positions (which constitutes c.60.0 per cent of their portfolios).

“Meanwhile, alternative outlets like Fixed deposits and Nigerian Treasury Bills (NT-bills) have continued to remain unattractive. On the other hand, we have seen listed companies return solid results in the Q1, 2022 earnings season. As a result, we have seen these institutional investors increase exposure to domestic equities, while reducing bond and other money market exposures,” they said.

On market outlook, the chief operating officer of InvestData Consulting Limited, Mr Ambrose Omordion said: “we expect a mixed trend in reaction to March year-end earnings report, as funds flow to the fixed income market on the rate hike by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Just as portfolio rotations persist as market players digest the macro-economic data and Q1 corporate earnings release, ahead of March year-end 2022 audited financials with dividend announcements to support uptrend in the new month amid the rebound in oil prices.

“Also, the market continues to interpret the rising inflation in relation to the crude oil price and other factors, in the midst of profit-taking and portfolio rebalancing. This will result in market players targeting fundamentally sound and dividend-paying stocks in the hope of dividend announcements.”
