It is the dawn of another earnings reporting season and indeed, dividend payment season for the bulk of companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), which is presently volatile with share prices going into correction mode after a rally that saw most stocks trade at new 52-week highs to create buying opportunity for discerning market players.

As part of efforts to guide investors on where to look for juicy returns this season and beyond, Investdata Consulting Limited will on February 24, 2018, at Ostra Hall and Hotels, Ikeja, Lagos, hold another edition of its regular workshops with the theme: “ABC of Technical Analysis for the Novices and Advance Traders,” where experts will simplify market jargons, thereby enhancing understanding among retail investors and others.

This edition is a follow-up to the previous one on December 9, 2017 where as usual, the following 16 stocks were recommended to participants:

• African Prudential Plc
• Dangote Flour Mills Plc
• Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc
• Fidson Healthcare Plc
• Fidelity Bank Plc

• Access Bank Plc
• Dangote Cement Plc
• Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc
• Honeywell Flour Mills Plc
• Presco Plc
• Okomu Oil Palm Plc
• Total Nigeria Plc
• Unilever Nigeria Plc

The table above shows the performance of the stocks year-to-date, including their highs, before the recent profit taking that led to price adjustments, with Dangote Flour recording 42.11% Return on Investment (RoI), closing at N16.20 per share, from an opening price for the year of N11.40 each. Year-to-Date, it peaked at N17.81 each, representing an RoI of 56.22%.

FBNH has returned 36.36% as at Friday, February 16 when it closed at N12.30 per share, from N9.02, after adjusting from its peak of N15.16 or 68.07% RoI; just as Fidelity Bank returned 28.51%, after peaking at N4.33, representing 73.89% for those who exited at that price also. Honeywell Flour Mills returned 30.34% YTD, after hitting a high of N3.69 per share or 67.72% within the period.

It was not all superlative performance, as Flour Mills went 7.14% red; followed by Okomu Oil Palm’s 4%; while Presco remained flat at 1.01% RoI.
