How it works
- 01
Create a free account
Email and password, nothing else asked for upfront.
- 02
Pick Nigerian or US stocks
Nigeria first, by default, every time you log in. Switch to US stocks whenever you want, the two markets never blend into one list.
- 03
See why, not just what
Every stock lands in performing well, showing potential, or underperforming, with the actual reasoning behind it, not just a label.
- 04
Compare, favorite, or move on
Watch a stock, mark one you already own, or line two or three up side by side, whatever the moment actually calls for.
Everything you need, none of what you don't
Know where a stock stands, at a glance
Every stock sorted into one of three buckets, ranked against its own sector, not the whole market.
Know why, not just what
An actual explanation for every bucket, in plain language, not a data dump.
“ROE is strong and trending up, but revenue growth has slowed the last two quarters, that combination is why this is a watch, not a clear buy.”
Put two or three stocks side by side
The same metrics, the same order, a straight read across a row instead of flipping between tabs.
Track what you're watching, and what you own
A clear tag for a stock you're keeping an eye on versus one you already hold, visible at a glance in your list.
Two markets, both first-class
Nigerian and US stocks are never blended into one list. Each gets its own full view, its own sector categories, its own bucket rankings, a real differentiator against research tools that only ever cover one market.
Data refreshes two to three times a day, not real-time, every page shows exactly when it last updated. This is a research tool, not a trading terminal, and it's built for that on purpose.
I built Kobo & Cents because I kept doing the same thing myself: checking a stock's numbers on one site, its news on another, and trying to work out what any of it actually meant without a background in finance to fall back on. Nigerian stock research especially felt like it was missing a place that just explained the numbers, plainly, before asking anyone to act on them. This is that place, built first for Nigeria, US stocks alongside it, and it will stay a research tool, never a trading one.
