Ecobank, Dangote Sugar, Flour Mills top stocks to watch this week
By virtue of generally strong corporate results for 2022, a good number of equities in the market are becoming attractive and priced low considered side by side with their earnings.
That seems to be the main impetus for increased activity last week, with transaction size surging by more than two times.
With the earnings season for fiscal year 2022 approaching its end and first-quarter financials beginning to be released, it is expected that the momentum of activity in the market will hang on how impressive enough financial results are to impress investors.
Investors looking to bargain hunt and take strategic positioning now have access to a basket of promising stocks, some of them listed below.
PREMIUM TIMES has assembled a number of 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 analytical market watch, offers a guide to entering the market and taking strategic positions in hopes that equities will gain value with the passage of time, particularly in the short term.
This is not a buy, sell or hold recommendation but a stock investment guide. You may need to involve your financial advisor before taking investment decisions.
