CardinalStone Securities Limited has once again demonstrated its leadership in Africa’s capital markets, emerging as Africa’s Best Broker and Nigeria’s Best Broker at the Euromoney Markets Awards 2026.
The double recognition marks another significant milestone for the firm, which has now secured the Africa’s Best Broker title for two consecutive years (2025 and 2026), reinforcing its position as a leading brokerage institution in Nigeria and across the continent.
The latest honours build on CardinalStone’s growing track record of excellence. In 2024, the firm was recognised by Euromoney as Best for Equities in Nigeria, followed by its first Africa’s Best Broker award in 2025. Together, these recognitions reflect the firm’s sustained performance, market expertise and commitment to delivering exceptional value to clients.
Over the years, CardinalStone Securities has established itself as a leading player in Nigeria’s capital markets, consistently ranking among the top-performing stockbroking firms on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX). The firm has maintained its position as the Exchange’s number-one securities firm by transaction value for four consecutive years (2022–2025), supported by a strong institutional and retail client base, deep market insights and robust execution capabilities.
Speaking on recognition, Managing Director, CardinalStone Securities, Peter Omoregie, said:
