The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) for the week of 7–10 April 2026 recorded a notable rotation: quality large-cap names headlined the gainers list a clear shift from the micro-cap recovery plays and thinly traded names that dominated previous weeks. Trans-Nationwide Express led with +32.75%, while NGX Group itself (+13.94%), GTCO (+10.66%), NASCON (+9.52%), Guinness Nigeria (+9.38%), and Zenith Bank (+8.74%) all featured prominently. The appearance of GTCO, Zenith Bank, Guinness and Nestle Nigeria on the gainers list signals broad-based institutional buying returning to blue-chip counters. On the decliners side, Daar Communications (-21.47%) and RT Briscoe (-20.00%) led losses, with many small-cap and insurance names also retreating.
