Consequently, the benchmark NGX All-Share Index (ASI) shed 2.51 per cent week-on-week to close at 141,004.14 points. Also, market capitalisation dipped by N2.29 trillion to N89.209 trillion, reducing the year-to-date return to 37.00 per cent.

The prevailing downturn dampened investor sentiment, as reflected in a weak market breadth, with 43 gainers against 54 decliners. Austin Laz & Company led the gainers table by 20.83 per cent to close at N2.90, per share. NCR Nigeria followed with a gain of 20.69 per cent to close at N10.50, while Nigerian Enamelware went up by 19.45 per cent to close to N39.00, per share.

On the other side, Thomas Wyatt Nigeria led the decliners table by 18.92 per cent to close at N3.00, per share. NEM Insurance followed with a loss of 18.15 per cent to close at N26.60, while Stanbic IBTC Holdings declined by 15.39 per cent to close at N94.00, per share.

Overall, a total turnover of 4.773 billion shares worth N107.426 billion in 152,965 deals was traded last week by investors on the floor of the Exchange, in contrast to a total of 8.564 billion shares valued at N99.936 billion that exchanged hands previous week in 177,870 deals.

This week, Cowry Asset Management Limited said, “We expect the Nigerian equities market to trade mixed, with cautious sentiment dominating overall performance. Persistent pressure on Banking and Industrial Goods stocks may continue to weigh on the market, especially as investors remain wary of macroeconomic headwinds and tight liquidity.

 

“However, bargain-hunting in oversold counters, particularly within the Consumer Goods sector, could trigger mild recoveries. Absent any major policy pronouncements or positive earnings releases, market activity is likely to remain subdued, with the NGX All-Share Index projected to move within a narrow band.”

 

United Capital Plc noted that “we have positive expectations that the financial services sector (banking, insurance and other non-banking) may remain the toast of investors.  Expectations of strong earnings from the manufacturing sector may continue to drive positive sentiment in the broader market.”

 

Afrinvest Limited stated that “This week, we expect a mixed performance with a bearish tilt as investors continue to reassess portfolio positioning amid H1:2025 interim dividend declarations, sustained pressure on blue-chip stocks, and the absence of strong positive catalysts.”
