Shares of Zichis Agro-Allied Industries Plc have risen over 157% month-to-date in February 2026 to N10.80, closing all sessions so far in positive territory.
This follows a successful January in which the company’s shares rose from a listing price of N1.81 to close the month at N4.19, supported by strong investor participation.
On 20 January 2026, the agro-allied company listed 600 million ordinary shares on the Growth Board of the Nigerian Exchange, after which the stock surged above N4.
In February, the share price has appreciated from around N4 to N10.80 as of the trading week ended 13 February 2026, supported by continued market activity.
What the data is saying
Trading data indicate that the increase in Zichis’ share price has been supported by relatively strong volumes, reflecting active market participation since listing.
- From its listing date to the end of January, total traded volume exceeded 210 million shares, with about 188 million shares exchanged in its first week on the NGX.
- Although trading volume has moderated in February, with over 33 million shares traded month-to-date, the price has continued to rise, delivering a 157.76% month-to-date performance so far.
On a weekly basis, the week ended 13 February is the strongest so far, with a 60.71% gain, slightly ahead of the 60.38% recorded in the week ended 6 February.
- This placed Zichis Agro-Allied Industries at the top of the NGX weekly advancers’ list ahead of Union Dicon Salt (60.15%) and Daar Communications (55.26%), as the stock extended its positive streak to 19 daily sessions.
Despite the gains, the stock has yet to record a significant retracement, which dip-buying investors may be timing to secure a lower entry price.
