To underscore the NGX’s performance in the first half of 2025, it’s essential to spotlight the best-performing sectors in the NGX in H1 2025.
During the review period, industrial goods company, Beta Glass stood out as the top-performing stock, with its share price soaring by an impressive 415 percent. However, from a broader sectoral perspective, the industrial goods sector lagged behind. This was reflected in the modest 1.8 percent gain recorded by the NGX Industrial Goods Index over the same period.
The agriculture sector was the best-performing sector in the NGX in H1 2025. Agriculture stocks on the Nigerian Exchange delivered a remarkable performance during the period, with the five listed companies posting a combined market capitalization growth of 126.5 percent. While there is no dedicated NGX Agriculture Index, this surge was measured through changes in their market values.
