Leave a Comment / Daily Market Analysis, DPH News, Finance Ed, News Update, Nigeria News, Regulatory body report, Stock Report / By

The NGX week of 29 June 3 July 2026 delivered a selective recovery with divergent fortunes across sectors. Airtel Africa PLC dominated the gainers board with a +21.00% surge to ₦5,274.00 the largest single-week gain recorded in this digest for a large-cap name reflecting institutional accumulation in USD-earning, pan-African telecoms names that serve as a Naira depreciation hedge. Regency Assurance PLC rebounded +20.25% to ₦0.95, partially reversing its prior-week -18.56% collapse. UPDC PLC recovered +12.31% to ₦3.65 following its -14.47% prior-week decline. On the decliners side, International Energy Insurance PLC fell -18.83% to ₦4.70, while McNichols PLC reversed its +26.47% prior-week surge with a -18.60% decline to ₦7.00 a textbook mean-reversion pattern. NEM Insurance shed -12.07% and Universal Insurance -12.87%, confirming the insurance sector’s continued two-way volatility.

The NGX week of 22–26 June 2026 delivered a split market picture: selective blue-chip and financial sector recovery on the gainers side, against continued broad-based selling pressure across small-cap, mortgage, and energy names. McNichols PLC led the gainers at +26.47% to ₦8.60, followed by International Energy Insurance (+14.43% partially recovering from its -28.83% prior-week collapse), and a notable bounce in tier-1 banking names with GTCO surging +10.69% to ₦127.90 and First HoldCo gaining +10.00% to ₦60.50 both reversing their prior-week declines. Airtel Africa extended its momentum with a further +10.00% gain to ₦4,358.80, pushing the stock to a new 2026 high. Zenith Bank’s +4.50% gain to ₦114.95 added further weight to the banking sector recovery narrative. On the decliners side, Trans-Nationwide Express PLC led losses at -26.79% to ₦3.28, while Aradel Holdings shed -19.00% to ₦1,417.50 a significant decline for one of the NGX’s premier energy names as oil prices continued their sharp descent. Abbey Mortgage Bank reversed further with -20.30%, and Consolidated Hallmark Holdings lost -15.97%.

The NGX week of 15–19 June 2026 was the most subdued in several months, with the gainers table posting the smallest weekly advances
recorded in this digest since the market’s bull run began led by Cornerstone Insurance PLC at just +11.01% to ₦6.05, followed by Academy
Press (+8.72%), Conoil PLC (+8.25%), and Neimeth International Pharmaceuticals (+4.68%). The muted gains are consistent with a
market in consolidation mode following the NGX’s correction from its all-time high of 252,508 points on 13 May. UACN PLC’s modest
+1.65% gain to ₦185.00 is notable in the context of the stock’s extraordinary multi-week rally earlier in the year. The decliners list tells a
sharper story: International Energy Insurance PLC reversed course with a -28.83% collapse to ₦5.06 after its prior two-week surge of
over 90%, while First HoldCo shed -20.29% to ₦55.00 and NAHCO declined -17.27% to ₦148.50. Guaranty Trust Holding Company
(GTCO) one of Nigeria’s premier tier-1 banks shed -15.01% to ₦115.55, a move that reflects the broader pressure on blue-chip financials
in a rising interest rate environment. NEM Insurance (-14.71%) and Sovereign Trust Insurance (-13.94%) also reversed their prior-week
gains, confirming the insurance sector’s high volatility.

The NGX week of 8–11 June 2026 was a shortened four-day trading week ahead of Nigeria’s Democracy Day holiday on 12 June, but still delivered notable equity moves. Associated Bus Company PLC led the gainers at +25.60% to ₦7.80, followed by Consolidated Hallmark Holdings (+23.13%) and Abbey Mortgage Bank, which extended its remarkable rally with a further +21.93% gain to ₦11.40 building on the prior week’s +47.24% surge for a two-week cumulative gain of approximately 80%. Infinity Trust Mortgage Bank (+20.32%), Austin Laz & Company (+15.16%), and The Initiates (+14.36%) rounded out a week dominated by mortgage banking, insurance, and small-cap names, while NEM Insurance (+13.33%), First HoldCo (+11.29%), and Oando (+10.42%) also featured. On the decliners side, Fidson Healthcare led losses at -25.86% to ₦101.20 a sharp reversal after a strong prior run while Neimeth International Pharmaceuticals shed -19.34% and UH Real Estate Investment Trust dropped -17.36%.

The NGX week of 1–5 June 2026 was the most broadly negative since the market’s all-time high of 252,508 points on 13 May 2026, as
sustained profit-taking dragged the NGX All-Share Index down 3.11% to settle at 242,593.31 points shedding 7,792 points and erasing
approximately ₦4.91 trillion in market capitalisation. The week also marked the first full trading week under Nigeria’s new T+1 settlement
regime, which commenced on 1 June. Investor sentiment was firmly negative across the first four sessions, with decliners consistently
outpacing gainers before a partial recovery on Friday when 39 stocks advanced against 11 decliners. International Energy Insurance PLC

(+47.24%), Sovereign Trust Insurance (+20.61%), Tantalizers (+18.40%), and Airtel Africa (+10.00% to ₦3,655.70). On the decliners
