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
