All-Share Index halts winning streak, sheds 941.2 points as Tier-one banks slip 

The Nigerian All-Share Index closed in the red on 17 February 2026, shedding 941.2 points to settle at 189,321.24, weighed down largely by declines in Tier-one banking stocks.

The 0.49% drop brought an end to the market’s 11-day winning streak, which had pushed the benchmark index above the 190,000 mark in the previous session.

Despite the pullback, trading activity strengthened, with total volume rising to 1.19 billion shares from 1.07 billion shares recorded the day before, across 86,607 deals.
