stock to buy for this month is Presco PLC or just Presco for short. Now, in case you don't know, Presco is a company that produces crude palm oil and palm kernel oil and other agricultural products in Nigeria. Now, as at the time
of making this video, um Presco is one of the largest palm oil producers in for people in the Nigerian stock market for a very long time. Now, this is a stock that has been doing really well, and like I said, they have been around
for a very, very long time. And we all know that with the high global demand for palm oil rising, they are definitely making money. And people keep demanding for palm oil every day, and that will still continue for so many years. And
actually, uh Presco is also expanding its plantations around Nigeria. And government is also backing businesses in the um agricultural sector, and this will actually help Presco and even make them add to their profit. And don't
forget also, the rise of our palm oil prices is also there. This will also don't even only sell in Nigeria. They also export their product outside different reasons why I think Presco should be in your portfolio for this

is Stanbic IBTC Holdings, or just Stanbic. Now, this is another bank I'm investing in. And as you all know, Stanbic IBTC is a leading financial services group, and they offer things like banking, wealth management, and
been really doing so well financially, I'll say, the past few years. They even recorded profit, or so much profit, in 2025, especially from their corporate banking division, and also their asset management services that they now offer
to Nigerians. And if I'm to pick my top 10 banks in Nigeria, I'm definitely sure if you go on your browser right Nigerian banks based on profit from 2025, I'm 100% sure that Stanbic IBTC
would definitely be part of that list. They're actually doing really well, and when it comes to innovation, I think they're one of the top banks in Nigeria. banking sector, I would really, really advise you check out Stanbic IBTC. It
invest in. Now, the fourth one for this month is Flour Mills of Nigeria. Now, you see, Flour Mills produces flour, pasta, sugar, and edible oils. Basically, almost everything in your kitchen right now. And most of the
things they produce are things or maybe items that Nigerians use every single series where I talked about the top 10 stocks to buy for February 2026, I recommended Nestle Nigeria stocks. And I said the reason is that no matter how
bad the economy is, no matter how bad it is, people will continue to spend money on food. The spending on food is always stable even during tough economic times. And that's because people need to eat. People will always eat. So, food is
something that is recession proof. And when it comes to the food and beverage sector, Flour Mills of Nigeria is one of the companies dominating the market in Nigeria right now. And even based on research, they are one of the companies
competitors. [clears throat] So, it's a good one to have in your portfolio, too, for this month and also for subsequent months. Now, the fifth stock for this month is GTCO, which is Guaranteed Trust Holding Company. Now, you see GTCO is
now a holding company and they have businesses in banking, in payments, and also in fintech. And right now, GTBank is one of the most innovative banks in Nigeria, and they are doing big on fintech. They're actually investing so
much money into fintech right now. And even their their payment platform and also their digital banking services are also growing really fast. And I'm who has been investing in the Nigerian stock market for a very long time, I'm
you that they have GTCO stocks in their portfolio. Or maybe they once had it in stocks that made me so much money in 2025. And to be honest, I'm actually in 2026. Now, for number six on my list is Oando
PLC or just Oando. Now, Oando is an energy company involved in oil and gas distribution. Now, recently they have been investing a lot in cleaner energy solutions like gas and renewable energy. And they have also been investing a lot
of money in their production capacity and in so many gas projects recently. So the energy sector, I think you should actually check out Wando PLC. Now for number seven, I will say Transnational Corporation, which is always known as
Transcorp. Now in case you don't know, Transcorp is a diversified conglomerate with interest in hospitality and energy and also the agricultural sector. Now in case you don't know, they own Transcorp Hilton, which is one of Nigeria's
biggest hotels right now. And they also own Transcorp Power, which is actually a major electricity generation company in Nigeria. And they are also expanding into the agricultural sector. So it's like three in one, hospitality, energy
and agriculture. And these are actually three of the growing sectors in Nigeria very good stock to have in your portfolio. This stock did really, really well in 2025. Now for number eight on my list is Lafarge Africa or Wapco. Now I
see Lafarge is one of Nigeria's leading cement producers and competing directly despite competing with Dangote Cement, they have been doing really well. And that's because, you know, constructions and um infrastructure developments are
coming up across Nigeria. You have roads, you have bridges, housing projects and many more. And even recently, uh Lafarge just completed a major plant upgrade that increased their production capacity by 25%.
Plus the fact that our cement demand across West Africa is actually booming right now. So as an investor, if you want a piece of Nigeria's construction boom, then this one is for you. Now for number nine, I'll be saying Nigerian
Breweries. Now I recommended this one for last month on February 2026 and it is back on my list for this month. And that's mainly because uh this actually a company that is crushing its earnings expectations. Uh what do I mean? Now you
see, they've been making so much money right now and even have been launching new products for younger consumers and it's actually working. They even have um a non-alcoholic beverage line that is also growing really, really fast and

expanding across Africa, and they're actually investing heavily in digital banking. And they've even just acquired a fintech startup to boost their payment growing really, really well. Their dividends are solid, and their stock is
still reasonably priced right now. So, that's another Nigerian stock you should definitely check out for this month. So, those are my top 10 stocks to buy for March 2026. And please, if you're a beginner who's trying to invest in
stocks, here's how you should diversify your stock portfolio from this list of 10 stocks. Now, the first thing I would advise you is to pick one or two banks, maybe pick Access Holdings or Stanbic IBTC from this list. Then you can now
add one consumer stock and maybe Nigerian breweries, and then add one energy stock, maybe one do, and then you can add one agricultural stock, which is like Presco. I think if you do that, that's a very balanced portfolio for you
And that will also give you diversification. So, if one sector struggles, the other ones can actually balance it out. I hope you understand. superpower when you are investing in the stock market. Don't try to panic sell.
