The NSE 30 (Nigerian Stock Exchange 30) is the price index that tracks the Top 30 companies in the NSE in terms of market capitalization and liquidity.
The companies are reviewed based on their closing balances at the end of trading session on Wednesday, September 4, 2019.
The YTD (Year-To-Date) loss stood at -13.08%, while the Market Capitalization closed at N13.29 trillion. The benchmark index (All Share Index) settled at 27,319.64 points.
Investor sentiment as measured by market breadth (advance/decline ratio) of 0.68x for the day indicates that the number of sellers outpaced the number of buyers in the market today. At the end of the day’s trading, 13 stocks advanced against 19 stocks that declined.
The Bullish run was halted today as NSE All Share Index plummeted by 0.97%. However, we advice our friends and allies to position themselves in stocks with good fundamentals and good dividend history, as we expect cheap stocks to move up to their intrinsic value in this second half of the year.
