26% of listed companies on NSE trading at par value

About 26 per cent of companies listed on the main board of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) are trading at par value (N0.50), investigation by Business247 News Online has revealed.

According to data gathered by our correspondent, 46 out of total 171 quoted companies on the equities market of The Exchange in July remained flat at N0.50 per share.

Insurance companies dominated the list with 21 companies trading at par value. As these insurance companies are stagnant at nominal value, the NSE Insurance Index closed in July with a year-to-date -6.96 per cent.

Given their historic pricing trends in January 2008, the extent of the recession in the insurance sector looms larger than the nation’s economic crises.

In the early 2008, nearly all insurance stocks were trading in three digits, in multiples of their nominal values and considerably in competitive prices with other related stocks.

According to investigation, Prestige Assurance and Wapic Insurance-two sectoral leaders by share prices, opened February 2008 with four-digit values at N11.40 and N10.60 respectively.

African Alliance Insurance Company Plc, Cornerstone Insurance Plc, Equity Assurance Plc, Great Nigeria Insurance Plc, Guinea Insurance Plc, and Consolidated Hallmark Insurance Plc closed July at N0.50.

Others are International Energy Insurance Company Plc, Lasaco Assurance Plc, Linkage Assurance Plc, Mutual Benefit Assurance Plc, Niger Insurance Co. Plc. and Prestige Assurance Plc. Others are, Regency Alliance Insurance Company Plc, Royal Exchange Assurance Plc, Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc, Standard Trust Assurance Plc, Standard Alliance Insurance Plc, Unic Insurance Plc, Unity Kapital Assurance Plc, Universal Insurance Company Plc and West African Provincial Insurance Plc.

Apart from insurance stocks which dominated this category, there are also Associated Bus Company Plc, Afromedia Plc, Aso Savings & Loans Plc, Chams Plc, Beco Petroleum Product Plc, C & I Leasing Plc, Costain (West Africa) Plc, Courtville Investments Plc, Daar Communications Plc and Deap Capital Management & Trust Plc in this category.

Others are Dunlop (Nigeria) Plc, Evans Medical Plc, First Aluminium Nigeria Plc, FTN Cocoa Processors Plc, Japaul Oil & Marine Services Plc. Mass Telecom Innovation Nigeria Plc, Multi-Trex Integrated Foods Plc, Multiverse Resources Plc, National Sports Lottery Plc, Omatek Ventures Plc, Resort Savings And Loans Plc, R. T. Bricoe (Nig.) Plc, Tantalizer Plc, Union Diagnostic & Clinical Services Plc, and UTC Nigeria Plc.

As the share prices of these companies remained stagnant, the Council of the Nigerian Stock Exchange have been looking at the way of bring down the par value of stocks quoted on the Exchange from N0.50 to N0.01. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is said to have approved the N0.01 new par value rule submitted by the National Council of the NSE.

The exchange, in a statement issued to market stakeholders, said that “notwithstanding its par value, the price of every share listed on the stock exchange shall be determined by the market, save that no share shall trade below one kobo per unit.”

  • Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

  • This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  • Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
