Also, market capitalization rose by N1.83 trillion or 2.78 per cent to close the week at N67.418 trillion.

The positive outturn stemmed from renewed optimism in Dangote Cement, MTN Nigeria Communications (MTNN) and Transcorp Hotels.

Overall, a total turnover of 2.414 billion shares worth N55.512 billion in 80,988 deals was traded last week by investors on the floor of the Exchange, in contrast to a total of 3.051 billion shares valued at N98.350 billion that exchanged hands prior week in 72,535 deals.

The chief operating officer of InvestData Consulting Limited, Ambrose Omordion said, “all eyes are on the expected full-year audited financial statements and dividend announcements which have continued to guide positioning and money flow into the market.”

He added that, the renewed buying interest in consumer and industrial goods stocks supported the markup phase that is creating new buying opportunities in few stocks ahead of their earnings reports, the January consumer price index figure and the Monetary Policy Committee meeting of the Central Bank of Nigeria scheduled for this week.”

Looking ahead, analysts at Cowry Assets Management Limited said “we anticipate a mixed market sentiment in the coming week as investors await further corporate earnings releases and dividend declarations.

“Additionally, market participants will closely monitor the newly rebased Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and the outcome of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. These key events will provide direction for investors as they assess the potential impact on their portfolios. We advise investors to remain vigilant, keeping an eye on stocks with strong fundamentals to make informed investment decisions,” they pointed out..
