NEM Insurance Plc has reaffirmed its strong growth momentum after submitting its Q1 2026 financial forecast to the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX), projecting sustained profitability and balance-sheet expansion.

The company’s positive trajectory follows a robust 2025 financial performance. In line with its commitment to shareholder value, NEM Insurance paid a ₦5.02 billion dividend for the 2024 financial year, a decision that earned commendation from shareholders at its 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Earlier, the insurer’s unaudited Q3 2025 results, filed with the NGX, revealed significant growth. Total assets climbed to ₦165.46 billion as of September 30, 2025, up from ₦121.93 billion at the end of December 2024. Shareholders’ equity also increased to ₦80.97 billion from ₦65.44 billion, strengthening the company’s capital base.

Operational performance showed strong year-on-year improvement, with insurance revenue surging by 55 per cent to ₦107.44 billion in Q3 2025, compared to ₦69.52 billion in the same period of 2024.

Industry analysts say NEM Insurance Plc’s consistent earnings growth, solid capital position and reliable dividend history place it in a strong position to navigate industry challenges and seize emerging opportunities in Nigeria’s insurance market.

With its optimistic Q1 2026 forecast now before the NGX, NEM Insurance appears well-positioned to build on its recent successes and reinforce its reputation as one of Nigeria’s most resilient insurance companies.
