NSE: Heavy sell-offs in Wema, Zenith, MTNN shares spur N155bn loss

The market's cumulative loss for February stood at N1.363 trillion.

Nigerian stocks tumbled 0.74 per cent on Friday as Wema Bank’s 2020 financials release failed to wow investors, and profit-taking deepened across the market as Zenith Bank and wireless operator MTNN saw huge sell-offs in their shares.

The market lost N155 billion, bringing the cumulative loss for February to N1.363 trillion, on its last day of trade.

That compares with a total capital gain of N1.130 trillion the month before.

A 2.32 per cent slide in the insurance index to 202.09 points, which was the runt of the litter among the five sectorial indices, complicated investors’ woes.

Market breadth was negative, with 24 fallers recorded against 17 gainers.

The benchmark index contracted to 39,799.89 points, while market capitalisation eased to N20.823 trillion at the end of trade.

Oando led the flock of gainers, appreciating by 9.82 per cent to close at N1.23. Mutual Benefits added 0.40 per cent to end trade at N8.11. Courteville was up by 5 per cent at N0.21. Oando rose to N3.45, notching up 2.99 per cent in the process. NAHCO completed the top 5, climbing by 2.70 per cent to N2.28.

TOP FIVE LOSERS

Wema led losers at Friday’s trade, declining by 10 per cent to close at N0.63. Champion Breweries shed 10 per cent to end trade at N2.52. Sunu Assurance fell to N0.66, losing 9.59 per cent. Africa Prudential slumped to N5.75, recording 45.74 per cent depreciation. Mansard closed at N1.06, going down by 5.36 per cent.
