Which NGX Stock Can Still Double From Here?

[Mr.Simon]

The Nigerian stock market has recorded impressive gains over the past year, with several stocks delivering strong returns for investors.
However, even after the rally, many market participants believe there are still undervalued opportunities within the market that could potentially deliver significant upside.
Some companies are still trading below what analysts consider their intrinsic value, while others may benefit from strong earnings growth, sector expansion, or improved investor sentiment.
Looking at the current market environment, which NGX-listed stock do you believe still has the potential to double from its present price?
And more importantly, what fundamental or strategic factors support your view?

The NGX has definitely been on a run, but I agree—the 'froth' hasn't hit every sector yet. When looking for a potential 2x return, I’m currently ignoring the hype and looking at Price-to-Book (P/B) ratios and Dividend Yields in the banking and consumer goods sectors. Some Tier-1 banks are still trading at significant discounts to their intrinsic value despite record FX gains. I’m personally keeping an eye on tickers with strong 'Moats' that can weather the current inflation. What’s everyone’s take on the 'undervalued' insurance sector right now?

Yes undervalued but risky. We are watching to see how many of them will survive the recapitalization.

Here is a concise investor-style response you can post on the thread:

One NGX-listed stock I believe still has the potential to double over the medium term is Lafarge Africa (WAPCO)
Reasons for my submission:

1. Strong earnings momentum: The company reported significant revenue growth, with revenue rising over 60% year-on-year to about ₦780 billion, reflecting strong demand and improved pricing power in the cement sector.
2. Infrastructure and construction tailwinds: Nigeria’s housing deficit and ongoing infrastructure projects continue to support cement demand, giving Lafarge a structural growth runway.
3. Operational efficiency: The company has been improving margins through cost optimization and better energy sourcing, which supports profitability even in an inflationary environment.
4. Relative valuation: Compared with some NGX blue chips that have already run significantly, Lafarge still appears reasonably valued relative to its earnings growth.

Access Holdings looks like a strong candidate. The valuation is still relatively low compared to its growth and expansion plans, especially with the ongoing recapitalization and its pan-African strategy. Energy stocks like Aradel also have solid upside due to strong fundamentals.
