Best Performing Stocks To Watch Out For In 2022

The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX) started the year as one of the most promising stock exchanges in not just Africa but the entire world. This attitude infiltrated the Apex capital market so much that its all-share index (ASI) hit an all-time high (ATH) of 43,730.55 basis points early in the year.

Despite the decline in bullish momentum, the Nigerian Stock Exchange's wheels managed to propel the All Share Index to a positive year-to-date close of 42,716.07, representing a 6.07% increase.

The majority of this expansion can be attributed to the zeal and ingenuity of local investors, who increased their appetite for local equities.

Despite challenges such as the monetary authorities' policy summersault, massive capital flight, and the attendant high risk associated with the falling Naira, local investors continued to support our local equities.

According to a report by Nairametrics, out of 180 companies’ stocks that traded on the NGX, 72 stocks posted year-to-date gains, while another 55 posted losses all year round, and the rest were flat with no gains or losses.
