How The Paint Manufacturers Performed In Q2 2025

Berger Paints

Berger Paints’ shareholders recorded a 59.15 percent increase in their investment after the share price of the company jumped by N11.15 kobo within April and June.

The increase indicates the stock market investors were bullish on Berger Paints, as they see the company as a more profitable asset compared to CAP and Meyer.

Analysis showed that the bullish sentiment earned Berger Paints’ shareholders a combined gain of N3,23 billion within three months, and raised the paint manufacturer’s market valuation to N8.69 billion on June 30.

Prime Business Africa gathered that the company’s market capitalisation increased from N5.46 billion on April 2 after an increase in demand raised the share price from N18.85 kobo to N30 per share.

Meyer

Meyer was second on the list of the best-performing paint manufacturers after its shareholders recorded 8.64 percent growth in their investment in the second quarter of this year.

The 8.64 percent growth represents a combined gain of N424,99 million for Meyer’s shareholders, and also pushed up the company’s market valuation from N4.91 billion to N5.33 billion.

According to the analysis, the gain and increase in the company’s market valuation was driven by a N0.8 kobo increase in Meyer’s share price, which rose from N9.25 kobo on April 2 to N10.05 on June 30.

CAP

CAP shareholders closed the second quarter with an 8.40 percent increase in their investment, putting the company behind Berger Paints and Meyer on the list of the best-performing paint manufacturer.

With the company’s share price rising from N47 per share on April 2 to N50.95 kobo on June 30, CAP’s market valuation also increased from N38.29 billion to N41.51 billion during the period under review.
