The year 2021 was good for equity investors in Nigeria. The NGX market ended with a positive return of 6.7 per cent. The 2021 positive return interestingly was driven by local institutional and retail investors.

Nearly all companies have released their 2021 financial reports, while some have released and some yet to release their Q1 2022 financial reports. The big question now is what stocks investors should watch and/or buy in Q2 2022 and 2022. Stocks have been reoccurring in many analysts’ buy and hold lists for 2022 for investors to consider and add to their portfolios.

Our stock pick is based on stocks found to be undervalued with good upside potential, high earnings growth potential and lower risk. A BUY recommendation is given to a stock considered undervalued relative to its peers, industry or market and/or based on its intrinsic value with strong fundamentals and potential upside return.
