The Nigerian stock market recorded a gain of N3.2 trillion for investors during the week, attributed to renewed interest in sectors such as banking, telecommunications, and oil and gas, according to Premium Times Business.

The Nigerian equities market continued its bullish run on Monday, with overall market capitalisation crossing N160 trillion for the first time, according to Leadership. The All-Share Index gained 707.34 points, or 0.29 per cent, to close at 247,699.78 points, while market capitalisation rose by N1.041 trillion to N160.600 trillion. The gains were buoyed by the listing of 8.09 billion shares, the report said.

The Nigerian stock market experienced a decline of 1.21% last week as investors opted to take profits, despite an increase in trading activity. Financial services stocks were the primary contributors to this downturn, with ten companies leading the decliners, according to Legit.ng.

In June, the Nigerian stock market experienced significant losses, with investors losing N13.3 trillion in value on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), marking the highest monthly loss recorded in the first half of the year. This decline is attributed to profit-taking activities among investors. Additionally, FTSE Russell has delayed Nigeria's Frontier Market status due to concerns regarding the T+1 settlement system, according to Vanguard Business.

The Nigerian equities market extended its bullish run on Monday, September 8, 2026, with market capitalisation on the NGX once again crossing the N160 trillion threshold, according to Nairametrics. The milestone marks the first time the market has reclaimed that level since August 10, when it initially crossed N160 trillion before a sharp two-week correction pulled valuations back. The report indicates the market is now moving to retest its August 10 highs.

Nigeria's equities market extended its rally as total market capitalisation on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) rose to a record N160.60 trillion, according to Tribune Online. The 0.65 per cent increase followed the listing of 8.09 billion new ordinary shares of Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc on the exchange. The gain outpaced the 0.29 per cent rise recorded previously, underscoring continued bullish momentum in the Nigerian stock market.
