Q2 Season Enters Final Days, As Bargain Hunters Reposition, Await Improved Liquidity

Image
Market Update for the week ended July 26 and Outlook for July 29-August 2 Nigeria’s equity market during the past week had a flat performance, just as the economy witnessed a lot of activities, ranging from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting which left all of its monetary instruments unchanged; and release of the ministerial list by President Muhammadu Buhari. Also last week, the Senate immediately commenced screening, even when portfolios were not assigned to the nominees, even as investors and commentators have expressed disappointment over the recycling of the same old politicians. Within the week also, over 30 companies released their quarterly earnings reports to investors, most of which came mixed and weak, except for a few that posted impressive numbers, thereby further reducing confidence and expectations among investors and citizens. The situation has not been helped by the process of screening the cabinet ministers, with the legis

Caverton Offshore Support Group at the weekend presented its unaudited half-year ended June 30, 2019, to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), showing that profit before and after-tax rose at a faster pace than revenue, helped by jump in other operating income, in what may ensure shareholders get higher dividends at year-end, if the management and board sustain the current tempo. Revenue for the period rose by N2.681bn or 18.85% from the N14.222bn reported in the corresponding period of 2018 to N16.904bn, with helicopter and airplane contract remaining the group’s cash-cow, contributing N15.989bn, representing an otherwise unhealthy 94.59% of the total, compared with the previous N13.827bn or 97.22% of the previous total. Helicopter charter pooled N803.384m, up from N310.922m previously; followed by N54.181m from vessel agency services, up from N28.852m; the N51.64m earned from vessel time charter and boat income, as against the previous N49.85m; and the N5.469m earnings from helicop

NGSE Index Looks Towards Emerging Earnings Reports, As July’s Last Full Week Ends

Image
Market Update for July 25 Thursday’s session on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) was a floppy and rough as its composite All-Share index consolidated back-to-back losses on a higher traded volume with earnings reporting season further dampening the market’s momentum. This was not unexpected mixed and weak scorecards emanating from listed companies thereby extending the bearish sentiments. The Q1 and Q2 numbers so far released from companies like University Press, 11 Plc, Ikeja Hotel, Flour Mills (READ), Chemical & Allied Products and Julius Berger (READ), were weak and below market expectation. Beyond every other thing, it reflects the gloomy state of the nation’s economy, despite the fact that oil prices at the international market are on the upswing, with September-dated crude futures up 1% at $56.40 per barrel. Two major factors are consistently working against the Nigerian market, giving the bears an upper hand since early 2018 when volatility started to trend down. Th

Investors Bet On FG’s Cabinet List, MPC Outcome, Earnings Reports, Amidst Liquidity Constraints

Image
Market Update for July 22 The negative sentiment and selloff narrative on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) continued on Monday, the first trading session of the week, with the composite All-Share index closing lower to wipe clean previous day’s gain on an above-average traded volume. The failure of the government to assemble a cabinet five months after President Muhammadu Buhari was re-elected and almost two months after his inauguration for a second and final four-year term in office shows the seeming confusion of the country’s leadership. This has continued to dampen investor confidence, just as the proposed reintroduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) charges on all capital market transactions is bound to negatively impact cost and returns on investment. The VAT charge is billed to begin on Thursday, July 25, and could mean double taxation on investors who already pay VAT on their dividend which could further discourage investment and wealth creation through the trading of securi

Notification of Lifting of Suspension Placed on the Trading of the Shares of Continental Reinsurance Plc

Image
We refer to our Market Bulletin dated 31 December 2018, with Reference Number: NSE/RD/LRD/MB7/18/12/31 wherein we notified Dealing Members of the suspension of Continental Reinsurance Plc (the Company) as requested by the Issuer through its Stockbroker, Chapel Hill Denham Securities Limited for the purpose of determining the shareholders that will qualified to receive the scheme consideration following the resolutions passed by the shareholders of CRE at the Court-Ordered Meeting held on 20 December 2018 in favour of the proposal by CRE African Investments Limited (a major shareholder of the CRe) to acquire all the outstanding and issued shares of CRE for cash or shares.  The Securities and Exchange Commission has directed that the Company reconvene another Court-Ordered Meeting to consider the Scheme of Arrangement thereby invalidating the Court Ordered Meeting held on 20 December 2019. Hence, the condition upon which the suspension was earlier placed ceased to subsist. Consequen

Transcorp Plc H1 Comes Below Market Expectations, Betrays Sorry State Of Nigeria’s Economy

Image
Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc, one of the country’s fastest-growing conglomerates on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), recently released its earnings report for the 2019 half-year ended June 30, as it continues to raise its game in the area of corporate governance, remaining a consistent early filer on a yearly and quarterly basis. The numbers revealed declining top and bottom lines, thereby disappointing investors, especially considering its years of restructuring, capacity building and investment which has not reflected on the earnings reports under consideration. The group seemed to be silent on how far it has gone in its ongoing oil prospecting which it said last year would begin to impact its books positively from February this year, long before the news of its bid for Afam Energy plants. It may be necessary, going forward, for the management of Transcorp Plc to re-strategize and reposition its services and boost performance, while creating value for all its sta

26-Month Bear-run: Caution Still, As Investors Await Q2 Earnings, Fiscal Stimulus, To Rescue NGSE Index

Image
Market Update for the week ended July 19 and Outlook for July 22-26 Stocks closed lower on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) over the past week, despite Friday’s marginal gain as the benchmark All-Share index closed the period on a negative note after touching a new lower low of 27,803.57 basis points. It extended its third consecutive week of decline on a low volume amidst selling pressure across all market sectors. The absence of economic reforms policies and direction by the government has finally dragged the benchmark NSE index below the 28,000 mark as investors review the political risk associated with the failure by government to appoint a cabinet almost two full months after President Muhammadu Buhari took his oath of office for the second four-year term. The situation becomes even worse when the severe insecurity situation is factored into the equation, as well as weak government earnings, low liquidity, and low purchasing power, all of which are showing in the nation’s m

NGSE Index Hits 26-month Low, Touches October 2016 Levels, As YTD loss Rises To 11.35%

Image
Market Update for July 18 The free fall of equity prices on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) continued on Thursday with the benchmark All Share index breaking down its last strong support level of 28,019.97 basis points to touching new 26-month lower lows of 2016 October market position. The index has defied all the Fibonacci retracement levels on strong selloffs across all sectors to extend its seventh successive days of losing on less than average traded volume. The continued market decline is a clear indication that something is critically wrong with the Nigerian economy, especially looking at the mixed macroeconomic indices revealing weak economic fundamentals, in the form of low market liquidity, the absence of a policy direction. Also, it is clear that the market got to this sorry state, because the government failed to do the needful at the right time and rather has occupied itself with things that have very little socio-economic impact on Nigerians and the need to remove

Stocks Bleed Further, NGSE Indicators Approach October 2016 Lows, As FG Keeps Investors Waiting

Image
Market Update for July 17 Stock prices nosedived further on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) at the midweek with the All Share Index extending its losing streak for the sixth consecutive session to close lower amidst the prolonged confidence crisis that has been deepened by political risk, as well as weak and mixed economic fundamentals. These have triggered continued volatility and selloffs on the exchange, given that the stock market cannot be divorced from the systemic problems in the nation’s politico-economic sphere. Despite the seeming slowdown in the inflation rate in the month of June at 11.22% and the earnings reporting season entering its peak period with just a few companies releasing their scorecards so far, investors and traders are worried over the possible signals of weak and disappointing earnings by listed companies. If not, the argument goes, the announcement of their half-year numbers would not take this long. The composite index opened for Wednesday’s tradi

CBN Intervenes In Forex Market With $210m

Image
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), on Tuesday said it injected another $210m into the interbank segment of the Foreign Exchange Market. According to figures obtained from the CBN, authorized dealers in the wholesale segment of the market were again offered $100m, while the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) window received $55m, just as customers requiring foreign exchange for invisibles like tuition fees, medical payments and Basic Travel Allowance (BTA), among others. The Director, Corporate Communications Department at the CBN, Isaac Okorafor, who confirmed the sales, reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to sustaining the level of stability in the foreign exchange market. Recall that at the last intervention on Friday, July 12, 2019, the CBN injected all of $298.7m and CNY39.6m into the Retail Secondary Market Intervention Sales (SMIS) segment. Meanwhile, the rate of exchange between the Naira and the US$ in the BDC segment of the market on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, was N360/$1.

Currency In Circulation Drops By 4.63% To N2.014tr In June- CBN

Image
New data by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), on Tuesday, showed that the value of currency outside of bank vaults in the country fell to its lowest in the seven months since November 2018 in the month of June 2019. Curiously, data on the CBN’s website showed that unlike in other months when the figures are given as of month-end, currency in circulation stood at N2.104tr, on June 28, 2019, representing N97.775bn or 4.63% decline from the N2.111tr recorded on May 31. The June figure, representing the second month-on-month decline, represented a year-on-year drop of N113.402bn or 5.96% from the N1.9tr recorded on June 28, 2018. The latest figure also represents N227.24bn drop from the year’s N2.241tr peak achieve in February, the peak of Nigeria’s Presidential election season. The drop may not, however, be unconnected with the non-implementation of the country’s Federal budget which is being delayed by the absence of a cabinet almost eight months into the year and five months a

Reversal Ahead, As Investors Target NGSE Value Stocks, Position For Q2 Score-cards

Image
Market Update for July 16 Tuesday’s was yet another selloff session on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) as the benchmark All-Share Index extended its bearish run for the fifth consecutive day on negative sentiment and high selling pressure in blue-chip stocks, as the political risk arising from the lack of direction from the government continues to constrain investment decision. This, among others, has been further worsened by the rising insecurity challenges across the country. The continued failure of the Federal Government to provide economic direction through reform policies that can stimulate productivity, just as the absence of a cabinet for effective governance has taken a toll on the economy, even as the business environment remains largely unfriendly. Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has over the past two years focused on monetary stability, resulting in a 7.5% decline in consumer price index over the period; a rise in foreign exchange reserve; and currency
