#Nigerian Exchange

In June, the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) experienced a significant loss of N13 trillion, prompting investors to reconsider their strategies. The focus for shareholders and potential buyers is not merely on the decline but on identifying which stocks represent genuine investment opportunities and which may pose risks, according to Nairametrics.

In the first half of 2026, there were significant leadership changes among companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), with boards appointing 12 new chief executives, chairmen, and senior executives to lead their growth initiatives, according to Nairametrics.

The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) experienced a decline of 1.21% over the past week, resulting in a loss of N1.8 trillion. This downturn follows the suspension of trading in the shares of Fortis Global Insurance Plc, which took effect on June 17, as the company prepares for a share reconstruction of its issued shares.

Foreign investors' transactions on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) fell by 25.90% month-on-month in May 2026, totaling N183.61 billion, down from N247.78 billion in April. This decline marks the worst performance for foreign investor participation in 2026, despite overall market activity reaching its highest monthly level of the year, according to Nairametrics.
