Top Stock Picks for the Week: NNFM, FBN Holdings, Ikeja Hotel Lead the Pack

Resilient Nigerian Stocks Defy Challenges with Strong Returns

Nigerian stocks have shown remarkable resilience in 2024, delivering an impressive 30.8% year-to-date return, even as foreign inflows remain significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels.

The NGX 30 Index, which tracks the top 30 companies on the Nigerian Exchange by market value and liquidity, has outperformed expectations with a 31.9% YTD return, nearing the nation’s inflation rate, currently at a 30-year high.

Analysts from United Capital highlight the continued interest in equities, noting that investors are cherry-picking undervalued stocks despite high yields in the fixed-income market.
