Investors\u2019 Return in Nigerian\u2019s Stock Market Up N4.6tn in One<\/strong> Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investors\u2019 average return on the Nigerian stock market appreciated by N4.6 trillion week-on- week (W-o-W), driven by renewed demand across selected major indices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benchmark indicator, Nigerian Exchange Limited All-Share Index (NGX ASI) gained 2.78 per cent or 6,751.82 basis points WoW to close at 249,804.56 points from 243,052.74 basis points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for First Holdco Plc (+17.7per cent), Aradel Holdings Plc (+9.6per cent), BUA Cement Plc (+6.8per cent), MTN Nigerian Communications Plc (+3.1per cent) and Zenith Bank Plc (+2.4 per cent) drove the NGX ASI\u2019s Month-to-Date and YtD returns to +2.3per cent and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+60.5per cent, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, the market capitalisation increased by N4.6 trillion to close the week by N162.157 trillion from N157.587 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sectoral performance was broadly positive, as the Banking (+4.4per cent), Insurance (+3.8per cent), Oil & Gas (+3.7per cent), Industrial Goods (+3.1per cent) and Consumer Goods (+0.5per cent) indices all closed higher for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market breadth remained firmly positive during the week, with 61 gainers against 39 losers. The strong breadth reflected improved investor sentiment, as advancing stocks significantly outnumbered declining counters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sovereign Trust Insurance led the gainers table by 30.95 per cent to close at N2.20, per share. Mutual Benefits Assurance followed with a gain of 22.03 per cent to close at N3.60, while Nigerian Exchange Group went up by 21.55 per cent to close to N179.90, per share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side, Transcorp Power led the decliners table by 18.94 per cent to close at N178.00, per share. John Holt followed with a loss of 18.89 per cent to close at N7.30, while Ellah Lakes declined by 18.14 per cent to close at N8.35, per share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, a total turnover of 3.249 billion shares worth N237.986 billion in 287,919 deals was traded this week by investors on the floor of the Exchange, in contrast to a total of 3.647 billion shares valued at N130.151 billion that exchanged hands last week in 244,777 deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting, analysts at Cowry Assets Management Limited stated, \u201cOverall, the market\u2019s positive performance was largely driven by strong investor sentiment, increased demand for selected stocks, and broad-based gains across all sectors, with the Banking sector serving as the primary catalyst for the week\u2019s advance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On its part, Cordros Securities Limited noted that, \u201cIn the coming week, market direction will<\/p>\n\n\n\n

likely be shaped by the outcome of the 307th MPC meeting scheduled September 21 and 22,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2026, developments in the primary market auctions, and the reinclusion of Nigerian equities in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the FTSE Index, effective September 21, 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
