Foxxymobile Weekly Stock Playbook (Sept 8, 2025)

The Nigerian market just wrapped its fourth straight losing week — three red days out of four. The All-Share Index (ASI) slipped 0.94% to 138,980.01 points, with market cap parked at ₦87.94 trillion. YTD gains? Still a hefty 35.03% — but short-term, it’s looking like a grind.

Winners (Upgrades & Insider Picks)

ACCESSCORP → CardinalStone just flipped it from Hold to Buy. Translation: growth mode is ON.

UBA & Zenith → Analysts at Cowry Asset + Afrinvest are calling them bullish bets. Dividends + strong balance sheets = investor magnet.

STANBIC → No longer in the “sell” corner. Lead Capital upgraded it to Hold — not fireworks, but a vote of stability.

UNILEVER → Both Capital Bancorp + Lead Capital say Buy now. Consumer goods revival? Maybe.

Losers (Sectors Taking Heat)

Industrial Goods → -2.08%. Heavyweights dragged, investors kept their distance.

Banking → -1.52%. Ironically, despite some upgrades, the sector’s index slumped — profit-taking and cautious plays.

Consumer Goods → -1.18%. Mixed analyst calls, mixed investor appetite.

Oil & Gas → -0.77%. Global cues + local uncertainty clipped sentiment.

Insurance → -0.36%. Cooling off after its recent hot streak.

Foxxymobile Insider Take

“Bearish vibes still in the air — but don’t be fooled. Smart money isn’t fleeing; it’s rotating. ACCESSCORP looks primed, UBA and Zenith are steady dividend machines, and UNILEVER could be sneaking back into investor good books. Losers this week? Sectors, not stories. Winners? Select stocks with the right upgrades.”

TL;DR: It’s stock-picking season. The broad market’s red, but the smart plays are hiding in analyst upgrades and dividend-backed banks.
