Investors Lost N124.2bn as Stock Market Tumbles

It was a sad day yesterday on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) as investors lost N124.2 billion as the stock market recorded its largest decline in seven weeks with the All Share Index (ASI) losing 96bps to close at 36,953.41 points while YTD return declined to 37.5%. Market capitalisation also tumbled down to N12.8trillion.

The trading session’s negative close is majorly attributable to losses in NESTLE (-3.1%), ZENITH (-4.7%) and DANGCEM (-0.6%).

Likewise, activity level weakened as volume and value traded fell 29.1% and 88.6% to 238.6million units and N3.4 billion respectively- due to high base of yesterday’s trading activity following a one-off cross deal of DANGCEM valued at N27.0 billion

Bearish Sector Performance
Sector Performance was largely negative with the Oil & Gas index emerging the lone gainer. The biggest losers were the Industrial and Banking indices, down 1.4% apiece, owing to price depreciations in ZENITH (-4.7%), GUARANTY (-0.3%), DANGCEM (-0.6%) and WAPCO (-2.8%).

The Consumer Goods index trailed, down 1.3% following losses in NESTLE (-3.1%) and UNILEVER (-5.0%). Similarly, depreciations in LINKASSURE (-4.6%) and AIICO (-3.6%) dragged the Insurance index 0.1% lower. The day’s lone gainer- the Oil & Gas index- was driven by buying interest in FORTE (+1.4%).

Market Breadth Declines Further  
Market Breadth declined further from 0.6x recorded yesterday to 0.3x (11 advancers/31 decliners). The top performing stocks were VITAFOAM (+5.0%), NAHCO (+4.8%) and NEM (+4.3%) while the worst performers were CAVERTON (-9.4%), CILEASIN (-8.8%) and UNILEVER (-5.0%).

Following the day’s unprecedented loss, Afrinvest Research says it expects bargain hunting to drag market performance positive in subsequent trading sessions.

How FIFA Can Revive its Brand Image

Former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner, who was one of 14 people indicted in a massive bribery scandal, vowed to reveal new evidence against the world soccer's governing body and its embattled president, Sepp Blatter. It's just the latest blow to a brand in crisis. Right now, FIFA is engaged in a high-stakes "win or go home" game of penalty kicks, with the sponsors who line their pockets with billions of dollars on the offensive side of the shoot-out getting ready for their kicks, while its own embattled brand is in goal, gearing up to block and deflect anything that comes its way. Meanwhile, a global consumer audience that has celebrated the game for generations is blowing the whistle and pointing to the penalty spot, its trust on the line.
