WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Six Nigerian stocks, each valued at over one trillion naira, have surged more than 20% so far in 2025, delivering strong price performances that have played a crucial role in keeping the All-Share Index (ASI) in positive territory. These companies are part of the SWOOTs, a group of Nigerian Exchange-listed firms with market capitalizations exceeding one trillion naira that wield significant influence on the All-Share Index, depending on market trends and their size. In 2025 so far, the All-Share Index has posted a year-to-date performance of 6.08%, closing at 109,183.93 index points as of market close on the 22nd of May 2025. Despite a decline that began in mid-February, during which the index shed over 5,300 points to reach a low of 103,851.88 in April, positive price action in mid- and large-cap stocks (many of which are SWOOTs) helped lift the index back above the 109,000-mark. This piece examines the SWOOTs on the Nigerian Exchange that have gained more than 20% so far this year. Here are the SWOOTs that have gained over 20% so far in 2025 on the Nigerian stock market:
