With market activities slowly coasting in 2025, listed equities present many opportunities for investors. Although stocks like Honeywell Flour Mills have achieved triple-digit returns, the market is rife with potentially high-return stocks.
For the week between February 24 and 28, here are some of the stocks to watch out for.
-
United Capital
In 2025, United Capital has produced a modest year-to-date return of 10.5 percent. However, a technical analysis of the stock shows that it has ranged within the N22.50 level for most of February. Signs exist that United Capital may rise to about the N23.00 mark, signalling that long-term investors would still hold on.
If United Capital falls to N20 this week, it may also present a “buy the dip” opportunity for short-term traders.

TotalEnergies Marketing Nigeria
TotalEnergies has had its share price at N670 per share for all of February 2025, a 4 percent decline from its all-time high of N673.90. Considering the growing understanding of the downstream oil sector in Nigeria, TotalEnergies has a leading role. This growth is what investors are trying to tap into.
Cardinalstone set its target price for TotalEnergies at N795.04, while Meristem has its TotalEnergies target price at N945.49. Essentially, analysts see an upside to the TotalEnergies stock.

Africa Prudential
With a 67% year-to-date return, a share price of NGN 33.55, and a price-to-earnings ratio of 45.09x, Africa Prudential stands out as a stock with significant sell-side potential. Meristem Research currently places a “SELL” recommendation on the stock. The stock is currently selling above the company’s target price of N26.43.
-
Fidelity Bank
This week, it is projected that some of the newly created shares of Fidelity Bank will start actively trading on the exchange, thus improving liquidity. Currently, Fidelity Bank is trading at a share price of N18.30, as it declined by 6.15 percent last week.
There will be a further decline if the new shares are traded in the market this week, as investors who bought public offer shares at N9.75 will look to cash out.
-
GTCO Holdings
As it is with Fidelity Bank, so it is with GTCO Holdings, which is currently trading at a share price of N63.05. If the newly created shares from the public offer go live in the market this week, GTCO will see a further decline due to improved liquidity.
