They are of the view that market players are looking forward to full-year audited results of listed companies with December year-end to start rolling in any moment from next week, even as  as January inflation report is also expected to hit the market next week.

This is due to ongoing earnings season and high dividend to hedge against inflation, looking at the impressive numbers that are expected to support higher payout or dividend growth in this season, despite the increasing electioneering activities.

The chief operating officer of InvestData Consulting Limited, Mr. Ambrose Omordion believes positive sentiments and trend to continue on positioning and profit taking as portfolio rebalancing in the midst of impressive corporate earnings and outcome of NTB auction, as rates fell further, amidst the release of more audited earnings and anxiety over the election uncertainty.

“Any pullback at this point may add more strength to upside potential. As such, investors should take advantage of price correction. Also looking at the trends and events across the globe and domestically,” he stressed..

Looking ahead into the new week, experts at Cowry Assets Management Limited expected the current trend of positive sentiment to take grip of market activities in the face of portfolio rebalancing and profit taking activities and on the back of the outcome from the recent T-bills auction as rates inched lower further in the fixed income space.

“However, we advise investors to trade companies with sound fundamentals and, as such, should take advantage of price corrections in line with domestic and global trends,” they said.

Cordros Securities Limited stated that, “in the subsequent weeks, we expect the NGX to be flooded with corporate earnings as more companies publish 2022 full year numbers, which will be accompanied by dividend declarations.

“We believe this should provide a catalyst for buying activities even as risk-averse investors are likely to remain cautious due to medium-term expectations of an uptick in FI yields. Overall, we advise investors to seek trading opportunities in only fundamentally justified stocks as the weak macro story remains a significant headwind for corporate earnings.”
