Frequently Asked Questions

Why do stocks fall sharply on the NGX?

Large single-day drops on the Nigerian Exchange are often triggered by disappointing earnings reports, dividend cuts, macroeconomic news such as exchange rate changes, or general market sell-offs. Sector-specific events like oil price movements affect energy stocks, while CBN policy decisions heavily influence banking equities.

Is a top loser stock a buying opportunity?

It can be, but only with careful analysis. Check whether the drop is accompanied by unusually high volume (confirms the sell-off) or low volume (may be noise). Look at the RSI — readings below 30 suggest the stock is oversold and could rebound. Review fundamentals to ensure the business remains sound before entering.
