Executive Summary
“Market rode on the back of blue chips to marginal gain of 1.79%”

The NSE index which began 2010 with very promising up trend appears to be turning
into a whimper as activities in February 2010 indicates unless things change fast. From
an impressive and optimistic 8.5% ASI gain by January month end, the NSE finished the
month of February with a 1.79% gain suggesting that the index has gone into a holding
pattern by trading in a very tight range.

The review conducted revealed that the market outcome achieved in the month far
removed from the expectations at the beginning of the month from both ends of the
investment market spectrum – investors and operators. Indeed, while most stocks have
picked up or either stopped their erosion, the rate of recovery has been hampered by
new volatilities; perhaps a distortion of trends owing to the re-entry of speculators in the
market.

Although, the NSE ASI is not increasing by leap and bounds, it appears that some
individual stocks within some sectors are being favoured by traders/investors as
indicated by volume and price.

February witnessed some activities which ought to have indicated a measure of


improved liquidity situation and investors interest in the market, as measured by the
rising profile of the volume and value of market transactions as seen in the upbeats
recorded on some days in the month. The market however could not sustain the uptrend
which appears to have been influenced by some investors selling into any uptrend to get
out of their old losing positions. Reviewing the charts, the trading volume does not
reflect convictions by traders. It seems that traders are unwilling to chase or buy stocks
above certain price thresholds.

This is becoming a market of selective performance rather than a broad base rally which
meant that trading in the market was motivated by a keen watch for stocks experiencing
increased volume and price – with traders riding the trend.

It would appear that despite the occasional positive signals seen, suggesting an
imminent liquidity situation, the reality appears to be no more than an illusion at this
time as the rallies could not be sustained over the month (indeed year-to-date).
Investors, it would appear, are justifiably more careful with ‘trusting’ the stock market
with their investible funds – which explains the downward trends in the midst of the
upbeats.

The unaddressed ‘loss of confidence’ in the market, accentuated by the increased


political, business and investment risk profile of the country has combined to impact the
market’s expected upswing.

The Monthly NCM Report for February 2010 www.proshareng.com Page 3


Further, the unfulfilled promises of the regulators to improved the oversight and
operating environment in the market is yet to be seen, or perhaps has faltered with a
constant shifting of the goal post.

The operating environment is unsettling and provides little direction as to economic


policy, regulatory framework and financing of the productive sectors of the economy to
provide retail and institutional investors with the required liquidity.

The NSE current bearish market trend will be two years old on March 5, 2010, and
technically one would have expected that most of the aggressive sellers should have
been washed out by now, but evidence abounds that some sellers are still hanging on to
recoup some of their losses.

For the Nigerian capital market to get back on the road to recovery (a subject of our yet
to be released NCM 2010 report); we must have a situation where the buyers
overwhelm the sellers. It does not appear that a lot of investors are willing to or have
been sufficiently motivated to take a brave stand at this point.

Technically, certain positive indicators are beginning to emerge – the movement of the
ASI is clearly indicative of a market that has bottomed out (though in danger of a major
reversal if the protracted political crisis cum stagnation of the economy is left
unaddressed), and the resurgence of the trading volumes.

The market in Q1 end and Q2 2010 is thus expected to move above the current levels as
we ensure a sustained oil production targets, take major structural changes that
encourages integrity and transparency at the NSE and SEC, reduce the country political
risk considerably and devote time to set a clear cut direction for the economy; any
capital market performance benchmarks.

Failure to develop a roadmap for achieving a market recovery and secure a buy-in of the
stakeholders, it appears that the anticipated ‘speedy’ recovery from Q3 2010 may be
delayed or compromised.

The long bearish trend has left most investors badly wounded and unwilling to invest in
the capital markets.

The market regulators appear not to get this point.

We however remain hopeful and encourage investors to take the long view mindset in
reviewing their portfolios and new engagements.

This report allows you to appreciate the market in a more personal way; and empower
you to engage in a much more intelligent manner.

Introduction
In February 2009, we made the call that the year would be devoted to ‘reconciling
ourselves with the obvious leadership meltdown plaguing our financial services
sector’. We opined that 2010 would be the year we identify and empower the market to
embark on the road to recovery which we forecasted to begin in Q2 2010. While we
are yet to enter Q2 2010, we are concerned with the rate of recovery of the market
based on our assessment that indicates that the market is operating on the premise that
any road will lead us towards recovery; without a thought-led and economy-integrated
roadmap.

It appears that we have not fully resolved the leadership crisis that got us here in the
first place. The leadership challenge we described relates to the accumulated evidence of
failures in financial economy strategic planning, operational execution of plan and
mobilisation of stakeholders towards a common goal, one devoid of grandstanding.

These gaps still exist at all facets of our financial services sector, some worse off than
the other and it seems that we are yet to deploy a plan that links the economic well
being of the nation to activities in the financial markets – the CBN has at least
recognised its challenges and is dealing with them. Yet, this self reliant market continues
to inch its way through; only to falter with the slightest stress placed on it.

As we entered the second trading month in 2010 – February, the performance showed a
true reflection of the health status of the nation’s economy – volatile and uncertain.

The heightened political risk among the ruling class has created a stagnation of sorts for
the nation’s economy; and this, to a very large extent, dictated the trend of the market
for the month under review.

The market this month recorded a total of 7.905 billion units valued at N54.045 billion
exchanged in 145,887 deals compared with 8.63 billion units valued at N46.781 billion
exchanged in 302,901 deals in the previous month. Comparing the volume and value
traded in the month with the previous month showed -5.50% and +15.53% difference
for the volume and value for the month respectively.

In the course of the month, the All-Share index recorded a +1.79% performance
compared with +8.5% growth recorded in the preceding month. Market capitalisation
within the period appreciated by N105.723 billion compared with N452.202 billion
recorded in January.

This trend indicates a slow down in the rate of recovery; owning principally to the issues
raised above and a few ancillary ones, viz:

The re-entry of new speculators and holding out by old ones;


The ‘unclear status/direction’ in the banking sector (including year-end issues);
The insufficient liquidity relative to market capacity (including the AMC issues);
Dearth of impressive corporate declarations by the quoted companies; and
Investor’s apathy and sustained negative news from regulators.

The NSE All-Share Index Movement
The NSE index which began 2010 with very promising up trend appears to be turning
into a whimper. Although the NSE all share index gained 1,713 or 8.2% in January 2010,
approximately 1,233 or 72% of the gains were made in the first half of the month. Since
then and up till the end of February 2010, the index has struggled to get a traction on
the upswing envisaged, closing the month on a gain of 1.79%. This suggests that the
index has gone into a holding pattern by trading in a very tight range as highlighted in
the graph below:

Although, the NSE ASI showed intermittent signs of a breakout, it is having problems
breaking above its 200 day moving average. Breaking above the 200 day SMA and
sustaining it will demonstrate technically that the index is no longer in a bearish mode.

Source: Proshare Research

The Monthly NCM Report for February 2010 www.proshareng.com Page 6


From the Index moving averages graphically explained above, it is clear that the ASI at
the moment is trading below its 20 days and 200 Days Moving Averages, but above its
50 Days Moving Average.

The 20 Days Moving Average further lends credence to the declined performance of the
ASI in the month over the previous month trend. The 50 Days Moving Average trend is
adduced to the recent upbeat (though not consistent) experienced in the market, mostly
boosted by the more pronounced upbeat recorded in January.

The fact that the Index is trading below its 200 Days Moving Average is an indication
that the bearish trend is still relatively apparent and existent, for trading above 200
Days Moving Average and maintaining the tempo would be suggesting a market
recovering from bears grip.

The index performance trend showed indications of decline in the market growth for the
month; revealing that the investors’ enthusiasm and optimism of the first month of the
year proved pyrrhic.

The enthusiasm could only be sustained for the first four trading days in the month of
February after which the bears-rule became the recurring pattern to everyone’s
consternation.

The appreciation recorded in the month was mainly facilitated by the trend in the blue
chips stocks in the Banking, Building, Food and Beverages and Conglomerate sectors.

February 2010 Market Dynamics


The market dynamics as graphically illustrated below showed the appreciation and
depreciations on the daily basis. The palpable fears and cloudy investment climate that
reigned in the month was responsible for the dynamics recorded.

been, meaning that the climate was relatively friendly. The wide gulf is apparent as
shown in the graphs below.

performance for the year of +10.53% for the period under review. The negative trend
of the previous year’s period when compared with +5.85% appreciations recorded in
February showed that the 2009 January posted a serious negative trend. However, the
positive year to date of the month under review when compared with +1.79% monthly
returns indicated that the month recorded low growth.

In the month under review, NSE-Oil and Gas index emerged the best performing sector
with +3.78% appreciation, followed by Food &Beverages index which appreciated by
+3.75% and Banking sector index followed with +1.76% appreciation. However, the
declining trend recorded in Insurance sector is clear in the table above with -10.04%

When compared with January trend of sectoral indexes, the performance in the month of
February was below the preceding month save only Insurance sector that recorded less
negative performance and Oil and Gas sector that closed with higher performance in the
month. The trend portrayed the true reflection of the entire market trend.

NSE -30 INDEX

Source: NSE, Proshare Research

The upbeat trend recorded in the blue chips stocks in the early part of the month could
not be sustained as the growth waned and was on the waning trend in most of the
trading days of the month. The combinations of profit takings and investors’ passive
mood to the market contributed to the trend recorded. The sector Index eventually
closed with +3.20% appreciation in the month. The sector still shows signs of potential
ample returns to investors both in the short, medium and long term views.

NSE -FOOD INDEX

Food and Beverages stocks enjoyed strong investors’ patronage in the month. The sector
index recorded appreciations for fifteen out of nineteen trading days of the month, with
the aggregate index performance closing at +3.75%, though below the previous month
performance of +13.20%. There was a level of resilience against bears demonstrated
by the stocks in the sector during the month. Profit takings from the upbeat of the
previous month coupled with the decline in the investors commitment to the market
could be linked to the trend recorded in the month. The trend notwithstanding, the

sector shows potentials for delivering returns, and could be eyed by investors in the
coming month.

NSE -BANKING INDEX

Source: NSE, Proshare Research

Profit taking and a level of confidence crisis and general market sentiment affected the
performance of the stocks in the sector. Investors are yet to reasons or clear signals to
the end of the policy direction of the Central Bank of Nigeria. This to a very large extent
informed the high level of speculative trading in the sector as there are no reasons or
rationale yet for holding the banking stocks for long term. Though the sector has
undervalued stocks, the status quo may remain until the issue of policy direction for the
sector is ascertained and some outstanding issues affecting the sector are resolved. The
sector recorded +1.76% appreciation in the month, lower of +10.30% recorded in the
preceding month.

NSE -INSURANCE INDEX

Despite the fact that over 55% of the stocks in the sector are either at or close to their
nominal value, the investors’ sentiment for the stocks still seems to be in the negative.
Also, that the sector is not known for delivering good returns to investors coupled with
the fact that the shares in issue of some companies in the sector seem overblown may

inform the investors’ mood. The sector repeated negative trend of -10.04% in the
month compared with -10.30% of the previous month.

NSE -OIL INDEX

Source: NSE, Proshare Research

Oil and Gas sector of the capital market looks good for consideration as the performance
trend remains northward at the close of the month. The performance growth at the end
of February closed at +3.78%, higher than +3.56% growth recorded in the preceding
month. The sector’s trend in the last six trading days of the month boosted the
performance recorded. The sector looks like a safe haven for investors, most especially
those with long term view.

The transaction volume in the month of February when compared with the preceding
month closed lower marginally by -5.50% to close at 7.905 billion units compared
with 8.365 billion units traded in the preceding month. This could be an indication that
the investors’ patronage of the market in the month under review was not significantly
different. But for the bid trend that reigned in the preceding month, the volume margin
would probably have been higher.

However, the transaction value in the month under review closed higher by +15.50% at
N54.045 billion ($360.298 million) compared with N46.781 billion ($311.873
million) of the preceding month. The reason that could be adduced to the upward trend
in transaction value was the fact that the blue chips stocks dominated the market
appreciation for the month.

Top Ten Trades for the Month of February
First Inland Bank Plc topped the transaction volume for the month and as well for the
preceding month. Banking stocks generally dominated the charts for both months. The
price movement of these stocks does not suggest a commitment on the part of the
investors, but rather indications of speculative trading on most of these stocks.

With the exceptions of IHS and Skye bank (February), BAGCo and CapOil (January)
were the only stocks that made the top 10 trades in the year-to-date.

The top ten appreciations for the month and for the year to date further explain the
dominance of blue chips stocks in the gainers list for the month. The same trend was
indicated in the year to date appreciation, as only two banking stocks emerged in the
class. This shows that investors’ enthusiasm and sentiments did not swing more
favourably towards the sector in the light of the sustained cycle of negative news from
the sector and the number of unresolved issues therefrom. Blue chips stocks in the non-
financial sectors may most likely enjoy more rally in the coming month.

Outlook /Analyst Opinion
Based on the market intelligence available as at the time of concluding this report, we
expect for there to be a means-enabled resolution of the political impasse within the
leadership in the nation; a conscious attempt to address the economic issues through a
work-out arrangement between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria
that should help improve the operating environment.

While this may take time to reflect upon the market, the clarity and sense of direction it
would provide should trigger an interest in the market prior to the announcement of the
election timetables for the 2011 elections in Q2 2010.

Combined, we expect that announcement of the long awaited fourth quarter 2009 results
of the banks will likely push the market in either direction, but definitely there will be a
reaction. We expect for the ‘Lamido 8’ banks to present only marginal variations to the
huge loss positions given that most of the provisioning were made as at the 11 month
(November 2009 when the status of the debts remained at the same levels in their
books) and the recovery efforts in December would not have been that significant to
warrant a rapid turn-around (unless write-backs representing post balance sheet
adjustments take place).

Any positive news is welcome at this stage, having exhausted all the negativity
imaginable for a financial institution. The key areas of impact should see the other banks
that gained from increased deposit intakes (flight to safety) and ‘smart lending’ show an
improvement in earnings which should be welcome news. Information from the market
concerning the bonds that have been offered as well as rights issue suggests that the
market did not warm up to them indicating resistance yet to be breached.

As the market awaits the enough stimulus for its full recovery, we are of the opinion that
that recovery is hinged on basic fundamentals, which appear not to be in place at the
moment. Opportunities however abound for investing cautiously and long term – we
have a market of selective performance rather than a broad base rally which means that
trading in the market would be driven by stocks of firms in less uncertain sectors.

Yet, the good money remains on some of the stocks shown above that have shown
resilience in the face of market difficulties all through 2009 and the last two months.

Clearly, the market can achieve some quick wins by quickly gaining a resolution of the
following issues; to signal a new era of lessons learnt, viz:

The AMC issue and Sale of banks to new owners – and the unaddressed huge
debt overhang of stock brokers.

The many unresolved market transactions and service issues – untimely


resolution of infractions, underwriting issues, private placements and non-
payment of dividends issues pending at the SEC, NSE and EFCC.

Clarity on the governance and succession concerns affecting the leadership of the
SEC and NSE.
