Five Potential Company Stocks Of The Week

Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc

Dangote Sugar is currently trading at N66.60 on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX). The Company’s financial performance has been mixed, with revenue growth of 29.3 per cent in the first nine months of 2025, driven by higher product prices and ongoing backwards integration projects. However, profitability remains a concern, with a net loss of N10.6 billion, although this represents a significant reduction from the N184.4 billion loss in the nine months of 2024. Despite this, Dangote Sugar has a strong brand and market leadership in Nigeria’s sugar sector, with a significant asset base and backward integration plan.

Fidelity Bank Plc

 The Bank is a Tier-2 bank on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) with a strong growth trajectory. The Bank’s gross earnings increased by 46 per cent to N748.71 billion in H1 2025, driven by a 39.4 per cent rise in interest income and significant FX revaluation gains. However, profit after tax dropped by 17.22 per cent to N132.31 billion due to increased operating expenses and a derivative loss. The Bank’s asset quality has improved, with a non-performing loan (NPL) ratio of 1.88 per cent in H1 2025, below the regulatory threshold of five per cent. Fidelity Bank’s capital adequacy ratio (CAR) declined from 23.90 per cent in H1 2024 to 15.00 per cent in H1 2025, but remains above the regulatory minimum.
