The Consumer Goods sector has been on a remarkable run in 2025, posting a year-to-date gain of 83.85% and leading all sectors on the Nigerian Exchange.
Tracked by the NGX Consumer Goods Index, the sector opened the year at 1,731.7 points and has already seen over 6.9 billion shares traded, jumping to 3,183.7 points so far.
Analysts attribute the surge mainly to the solid operational performance of companies in the sector during the first half of 2025, which boosted profitability and helped lift investor confidence as foreign exchange pressures from 2024 eased.
So far this year, the sector has only ended March in the red, followed by a steady streak of gains from April through August, accompanied by increased market activity.
This work focuses on the stocks driving this strong performance, specifically consumer goods companies that have already delivered returns of 100% or more to investors so far in 2025.
Here they are:
Nascon Allied Industries ranks 4th, delivering a 210.69% return. The stock opened at N31.35 and has traded over 506 million shares to reach N97.40.
Q1 gains of 46.5% were followed by a 54.52% rise in Q2, with July briefly testing N100. Aside from an 11% decline in August, the stock has consistently held above monthly opening prices.
- According to its latest financial statements, H1 revenue rose to N78.1 billion from N50.4 billion, while pretax profit jumped to N23.2 billion from N7.2 billion.
