After a week marked by defensive trading, intensified profit-taking, and cautious repositioning on the Nigerian Exchange, investors are increasingly turning their attention to fundamentally strong stocks with attractive entry points. With market sentiment still subdued, reflected in a negative market breadth of 26 gainers against 68 losers; select equities stand out for their resilient performance, strong fundamentals, and compelling valuation metrics.
As year-end trading pressures continue and bargain hunters quietly position ahead of the 2026 dividend season, here are five stocks analysts believe may offer potential opportunities this week.
Access Holdings Plc
Access Holdings appears attractive at ₦21.00 per share, with a market capitalisation of ₦1.1 trillion. Analysts project a 12-month price target of ₦33.60, suggesting meaningful upside. With a P/E ratio of 1.8x, far below the industry average of 6.6x, the stock is considered undervalued and potentially well-positioned for re-rating.

Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO) Plc
GTCO remains a strong contender, currently priced at ₦86.40 with a market capitalisation of ₦3.13 trillion. Analysts forecast a price target of ₦118.10, with estimates ranging from ₦86.39 to ₦140.82. The optimism stems from GTCO’s robust financial performance and consistently high return on equity, reinforcing its long-term attractiveness.
Honeywell Flour Mills Plc
Honeywell Flour Mills continues to impress, trading at ₦18.25 with a market capitalisation of ₦144.33 billion. The stock has delivered explosive growth:
-
+285.84% over the past year
-
+1,529.46% over five years
Some analysts see further upside based on its strong fundamentals and historical performance momentum, making it a potential buy opportunity for risk-tolerant investors.
Nigerian Breweries Plc
Nigerian Breweries is another stock worth considering, trading at ₦66.75 per share. Analysts overwhelmingly support a strong buy, with a target price of ₦71.93, indicating a 7.76% upside. Its solid financial performance and undervalued trading levels make it appealing for medium-term investors.
UACN Plc
UACN trades at ₦78.90, boasting a market capitalisation of ₦223.85 billion. The stock has achieved:
-
+255.41% growth over the past year
-
+12.71% compared to the previous week
With a consensus target price of ₦84.73—an 11.19% upside—UACN remains compelling. However, its price volatility means investors should evaluate their risk tolerance before taking a position.
