Earnings surprises in some companies and expectation from some in the banking, consumer goods, agribusiness and other sectors have triggered demand for some stocks despite the relatively low liquidity in the market at the moment. Strong and improving company fundamentals remain points of attraction as the season and year winds down.

With the additional shares of Guinness Nigeria, the NSE’s market capitalization increased by 0.80% from previous session’s N12.57tr.
The upturn in the share prices of Zenith Bank, UACN, UBA, Seplat Petroleum Development Company, National Salt, Fidson Healthcare, FBNH, Dangote Flour, Dangote Sugar and Honeywell Flour, impacted positively on the ASI’s year-to-date return, which increased to 36.27%, just as market capitalisation has grown by N3.43tr YTD, representing a 37.09% rise above the year’s opening value.
