Abstract
The study - COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF VIABILITY OF STOCKS LISTED ON THE SECOND - TIER SECURITIES (SSM), is one of the comparative analysis of potentialities of those securities classified under small to medium enterprises in Nigeria - with the aim of provoking the Investors' attitude and interest towards the available investment opportunities or otherwise. Seven securities out of twenty quoted in the Fact Book of Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) were selected. The study wished to carry out a comparative assessment of their viability within the period spanning from 1991 to 1995. The financial tools used were the financial ratios. The relevant test were carried out using their past performances in the context of the Nigerian Economy. The extrapolation of the trend of events/experiences of the securities was aimed at stimulating the interest of internal and foreign investors towards SSM as well as to guide their portfolio selection/decisions. The result of this work showed that the securities were highly viable with strong potentials particularly if their funding would be largely by equity than debt. It is the opinion of this research findings that it becomes imperative to maintain internally consisted and dynamic policy environment to promote investment friendliness and to encourage domestic and foreign investment. In other words, given a good economic condition and additional equity capital, the securities will experience tremendous stable returns on investments and consequently enhance national industrialization.
