Last week, Nigerian stocks advanced by 0.5 per cent, driven by investors’ increased demand for consumer goods and oil & gas stocks.
Companies have started issuing their financial reports for the first nine months of the year, meaning that is likely to play a major role in the price movement of stocks in the next couple of weeks or months.
Energy stocks continue to lead other sectors in terms of performance, having yielded more than double their value at the beginning of the year.
Yet, there are still a number of stocks, notably bank stocks, with strong fundamentals and offering value for money.
PREMIUM TIMES has assembled some stocks with fundamentals and other potential, adopting key analytical approaches to save you the hassle of randomly picking equities for investment.
The selection, a product of an analytical market watch, offers a guide to entering the market and taking strategic positions in hopes that equities will increase in value with the passage of time.
