The total market capitalization saw a significant decline of N190.45 billion, finishing at N58.905 trillion, which is a 0.32% decrease from the previous value of N59.095 trillion.

April 5, 2025

While most bank stocks survived with modest gains on Tuesday, they mostly recorde

d losses on Tuesday as investors continue to digest the possible implications.

Market sentiments are twofold: some believe the recapitalization plans could lead to higher share prices for bank stocks as investors shore up their positions. The understanding is that the more expensive the stock, the fewer shares the banks will have to issue. However, others opine that cheaper stocks could bode well for banks seeking rights issues, as it allows existing shareholders to secure their rights at an undervalued price.
