NSE 20 Performance

NSE 20 recent trading peak was Feb 2015 at 5373. Now it's at 1444, down 73%. Can we realistically expect NSE 20 to gain 73% to get back to Feb, 2015 peak?


at these levelsSad
and then privatization of state corporations

Like recovery from alcoholism, it will be a long drawn out process

Your math is like Nabii's math.

-73% from 5373 = 1444
1444 x 173% = is not 5373

From 1444 it has to increase 300% or so to get to 5373

Question is what do you do with this knowledge. Does one buy more at current lows or bail out? The stock exchange is the only market where buyers flee from low prices.

Under normal circumstances, low prices of great companies (e.g., Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta etc.) would be great opportunity to buy. For NSE, you have to determine which are the great companies that are low priced to buy. Sample these price changes:
KCB in Jan 2015 was 58; now 16.35
NCBA in Jan 2015 was 64; now 37.15
StanChart in Jan 2015 was 339; now 155.75
Britam in Jan 2015 was 29; now 4.97
Centum in Jan 2015 was 65; now 8.35
I&M in Jan 2015 was 125; now 17.35
EQTY in Jan 2015 was 51; now 37
Absa in Jan 2015 was 16.25; now 11.45
EABL in Jan 2015 was 304; now 126
SCOM in Jan 2015 was 14; now 11.65

Presumably investors bought shares not only at 2015 market tops but rather across a range of dates. For instance, I have safaricom shares I bought at 5, 2.5, 27,33, etc.

NSE will come back, we just dont know when. Even the NYSE and the stocks you quote were cut in half at some point. Microsoft was cut by more than 70% during the dot com crash and only recovered after 16 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NCBA wasn't listed in 2015

You should adjust for bonuses/splits for some but the general point still remains valid. Invested in the NSE has destroyed wealth since 2015.

He is not wrong in the sense that NIC was listed, and for holders of NIC in 2015, they still hold the same shares now known as NCBA. Perhaps a bonus or 2 were issued.

Let's say we have to wait for 16 years. That at 14% on IFBs would mean the bondholder is far, far better off.

Let's take the 16 years from 1 Jan 2015 then we will have done 9 years (31 Dec 2023) and have 7 more to go. The 6.5 year IFB is expected to yield a minimum of 16% which is about a 200% gain in interest income.
