VFD Group Plc has reported a strong financial performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, posting a profit after tax of ₦7.9 billion, driven by solid investment gains and improved income from its financial services portfolio.
The result represents a notable year-on-year improvement, underscoring the Group’s continued growth across its core subsidiaries and strategic investments.
In a statement accompanying the unaudited financials, the company attributed the performance to increased contributions from its investment banking, asset management, and proprietary investment businesses, as well as improved efficiency in cost management and balance-sheet optimization.
VFD Group noted that its diversified investment strategy—spanning banking, technology, real estate, and consumer finance—continued to yield strong returns despite macroeconomic headwinds, currency volatility, and inflationary pressures.
Group Managing Director Nonso Okpala described the nine-month performance as a validation of the company’s long-term strategy of building a resilient investment ecosystem that delivers value to shareholders while supporting Nigeria’s economic development.
He added that VFD Group will sustain its focus on expanding strategic holdings, strengthening governance structures, and leveraging technology to drive innovation across its portfolio.
Analysts say the results position VFD Group among the standout performers in Nigeria’s financial services sector in 2025, reflecting the benefits of diversification and disciplined capital deployment.
