This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the deregulation of the financial sector in Nigeria, following the enthronement of democratic governance, several policies were put in place to stimulate capital market activities. The series of policies, especially the twenty-five Billion Naira capitalization of Banks, led to unprecedented increase in trading on the floor the Nigerian Stock exchange. The perceived rapid returns to investors were suggestive of a speculative market and thus made the market very attractive. Although the studies conducted before this period indicated that the Nigerian Capital Market was efficient in the weak form, there was need for a robust replication of earlier studies to determine the extent to which such claims still held sway against the backdrop of persistent bullish runs; this is what this study sought to achieve. Results of this study showed that the Nigerian capital market is efficient in the weak form; thus showing consistency with most previous studies. It is thus reasonable to conclude that investors in the Nigerian Stock Exchange are assured of fair returns to their investment.

Download or read book Weak Form Efficient Market Hypothesis written by Emenike Kalu O. and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) witnessed an unprecedented growth in market capitalization, membership, value and volume traded. By December 2007, the All-Share Index has grown massively to 57,990 from 1,113 in January 1993. This rising interest in investment opportunities in the NSE raises questions about its efficiency. Why do we care if a stock market is efficient or not? The stock market acts an intermediary and channels funds from savers to firms for investment purposes. An efficient stock market is a 'well-functioning' market, where prices of stocks represent their fair value. This book examines the efficiency of the NSE using a scientific method that can be replicated by stakeholders of stock market such as investors, investment analysts, fund managers, regulators, and students of the stock markets.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has witnessed an unprecedented growth in market capitalization, membership, value and volume traded. By December 2007, the All Share Index has grown massively to 57,990.2 from 1113.4 in January 1993. This rising interest in investment opportunities in the NSE raises questions about its efficiency. This paper, therefore, tests the Weak-form Efficient Market Hypothesis of the NSE by hypothesizing Normal distribution and Random walk of the return series. Monthly All Share Index of the NSE is examined from January 1993 to December 2007. Our Normality tests include Skewness, kurtosis, Jarque-Bera and Studentized Range tests; whereas Random walk is tested using the non-parametric Runs test. Results of the Normality tests show that returns from NSE do not follow normal distribution. Runs test results reject the randomness of the return series of the NSE. Overall results from the tests suggest that the NSE is not weak form efficient. Reduction of transaction cost so as to improve market activities and Minimizing institutional restrictions on trading of securities in the bourse were therefore recommended.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study applies simple regression model to know the impact of dividend on share prices using software packages such as E-views and MS-Excel 2007 model in investigating to find out if the Nigerian stock market reacts efficiently to dividend announcements in terms of price adjustments. In capturing reactions around the 3-day, 21-day and 61-day windows before and after the announcements, the study considered the level of the speed of adjustment of share prices to the announcement of dividend payments. In so doing earnings and dividend announcements are found to concurrently announced unlike in developed capital markets. Since the studies indicate a drift in share prices 30 days after announcements The CERs for the 3-day, 21-day and 60-day event windows are positive and statistically significant for dividend announcements. This shows that the Nigerian Stock Market does not react efficiently to dividend announcements in terms of prices adjustments and also does not adjust to announced changes in dividend policies by the Nigerian companies. Overall, this provides evidence that the Nigerian stock market is not semi-strong efficient, that dividend policy matters and that share prices do react to dividend announcements. The findings support semi-strong market inefficiencies found by Olowe (1998) and Oludoyi (1999) from stock splits and earnings announcements, respectively.

This book was released on 2010-11-08 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1.7, The FOM University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, language: English, abstract: Especially after the 90ies, where the stock markets raised enormously, many private investors joined the stock market and were blended by abnormal profits and neglected possible losses. The same behavior could be observed before the Financial Crisis became reality. But each endless raising stock market would finally collapse, because stock prices are randomly and only driven by relevant news. The adjustment to the news is quickly. This is the theoretical argumentation of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), which will be evaluated in this paper. The author gives an overview about the EMH by explaining the basic principles and its mathematical formulation. The practical part evaluated the EMH on selected examples, where the theory could only be partly approved.
