ABSTRACT

This study investigates how inflation affects equity returns in Nigeria's healthcare stock market, revealing significant insights. The findings suggest a positive correlation between inflation and equity prices, with a 63.3% increase associated with inflation. Correlation analyses highlight strong associations between stock prices, inflation rates, and the All Share Index (ASI). Furthermore, cointegration tests show long-term equilibrium relationships among key market variables. Empirical estimation results confirm a statistically significant negative relationship between inflation rates and equity returns, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to address market stability and investor confidence. In conclusion, coordinated efforts are crucial for mitigating inflation's impact and enhancing transparency within Nigeria's healthcare stock market.
