The Nigerian Banking Industry has been under intense pressure this year on the back of tightening regulations, increased cost of funds and shrinking margins. The sector has also mostly underperformed the All share index during the year with many of the stocks failing to sustain impressive capital gains for investors. This has made some people view the sector as one that is mostly undervalued and could provide an upside in the coming months if things were to change for them.

One way to check our for bargain (if there ever is one here) is to look at some of the stocks that are trading very close to their one year lows. Here is our list of underperformers this year.

UBA

The banks deposits also dropped 8% to N1.9trillion compared to N2.1trillion at the end of 2013. The results has had a negative impact on the share price which currently trades at N6.78 and just 2% off its 12 months low. P.E ratio at that price is about 4.4x.

Skye Bank

Fidelity Bank
