Transcorp Hotels, GTBank, Seplat make Ripples Nigeria stock watchlist

It’s the earning season and listed companies are expected to have a closed period, and some will be releasing their Q3 2019 results. Despite the earning season, bearish sentiment still has a hold of the Nigerian bourse as the market winds up with a 0.32% loss from last week trading.

Stock watchlist is a list of securities being monitored for potential trading or investing opportunities. An investor or trader may create a watchlist of several, dozens or even hundreds of trading instruments to make more informed and opportune investment decisions. Lucky for you, we have reduced the hassle.
