Resilient Winners Offer Hope
Yet, some stocks defied the trend.
NCR (Nigeria) Plc surged 20.94% to ₦19.35, capturing investors’ attention.

Conversely, C&I Leasing plunged 20.16% to ₦5.03, Skyway Aviation Handling fell 18.99% to ₦80.60, and Berger Paints dropped 17.41% to ₦35.10.
OANDO, International Energy Insurance, and Tantalizers also recorded losses exceeding 16%, deepening the market’s downturn.
Meanwhile, corporate developments influenced investor sentiment.
Ellah Lakes received SEC approval for a ₦235 billion public offer, ABC Transport released quarterly results, and Airtel Africa declared an interim dividend.
Analysts believe the market remains in a retracement phase, and continued large-cap selling could push declines further.
However, strong Q3 earnings from resilient stocks may improve sentiment and attract investors to emerging opportunities.
Ultimately, despite broad losses, Nigeria’s best-performing stocks reminded investors that opportunity still exists in challenging weeks.
