Nigeria’s stock market kicked off 2026 strongly.
The market rose roughly 29% in Q1, and the NGX All-Share Index climbed past 200,000 points for the first time. One company, however, stole the spotlight: Fortis Global Insurance was the quarter’s top performer, surging about +515% — from roughly ₦0.20 at the start of the year to ₦1.23 by quarter-end after it resumed trading on the Nigerian Exchange. Moves like this explain why investors monitor the market closely. But the key takeaway is this: don’t chase stocks after they’ve already exploded; aim to read the market early enough to uncover opportunities.
