Livestock Feeds, Linkage Assurance top Ripples Nigeria stock watchlist

The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) remained largely bearish last week, further sustaining the downturn that had crippled market activities in recent times. There were two intervening days of gain on Tuesday and Wednesday, when the market performance ended in the positive territory even though the capital appreciation was too weak to temper the losses of the other days.

Nevertheless the redeeming feature for investors was the declaration of dividend by a few companies for the Full Year 2019 and more are expected in the days to come as companies turn in their financials.

We have selected a group of stocks you should watch out for this week on the basis of how the market fared last week.
