SUMMARY TABLES – NSE PERFORMANCE
Summary Trading Statistics
The bourse closed the month of September on a bullish note with the broad market returning +2.4% m/m – slower than the +7.7%m/m and +4.4%m/m pencilled in August and July, respectively. Likewise, the N10, NSE 20, and NSE 25 advanced by 4.3% m/m, 4.5% m/m, and 4.1% m/m, respectively – albeit slower growth compared to the prior month.
This, in our view, was likely on profit-taking activities by investors – to realize some of the gains booked in the prior three quarters (i.e., +15.3%q/q in 4Q24, +5.9%q/q in 1Q25, +17.3%q/q in 2Q25). Indeed, foreign investors registered net outflows of USD 38.0m in September vis-à-vis net inflows of USD 12.9m in August.
For 3Q25, double-digit capital gains were registered across the benchmark indices with the N10, NSE 20, and NSE 25 outpacing their returns for 2Q25 and 1Q25 in 3Q25 – having advanced by 17.6%q/q, 21.8%q/q, and 17.4%q/q, respectively. The All Share Index, though growing by 15.2% q/q, lagged its 2Q25 growth of 17.3% q/q.
