BUA Foods Plc has notified shareholders and investors of a possible delay in filing its Q3 2025 results, originally slated for October 30, 2025.
The company disclosed this in a statement published on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) on September 17, 2025, and signed by its Company Secretary, Oluseye Alayande.
According to the notice, the delay is due to certain internal changes that require a migration in the company’s data setup, which may affect the timing of the Q3 report.
BUA Foods stated that the unaudited financial statements for Q3 2025 will now be filed on or before November 14, 2025.
In line with this adjustment, the company noted that the closed period for trading in its shares, which began on October 1, 2025, will remain in effect until 24 hours after the release of the Q3 results to the investing public.
If the upcoming Q3 results come in strong, they could further lift the company’s share price, which is already up 56.63% year-to-date, similar to the rally that followed the release of its Q2 results.
BUA Foods reported a pretax profit of N276.1 billion for the first half of 2025, representing a 101.26% increase from N137.1 billion recorded in the same period last year.
The strong earnings were largely driven by higher sales, as turnover for the half year rose to N912.5 billion from N672.3 billion in the previous year, with Q2 revenue amounting to N470.2 billion.
For comparison, in the nine-month period of 2024, BUA Foods reported a pretax profit of N215.6 billion, up 93.58% year-on-year, with revenue at N1.07 trillion.
With the 2025 nine-month results yet to be released, the company’s financial performance is expected to surpass last year’s figures, supported by more stable macroeconomic conditions.
Year-to-date, BUA Foods’ shares are up 56.63%, contributing to the Nigerian stock market’s 44.7% gain, given the company’s substantial weighting of over 12% in the All-Share Index.
