The significance of ensuring a consistent return on stocks for publicly traded companies cannot be overstated. This is due to the fact that returns inform investors about managerial and market performance and enable them to forecast the company's future earnings. However, global corporate scandals at the turn of the century, as well as the global financial crisis, eroded investor confidence. Seven firms were dropped from the study, which included all 23 consumer goods firms, during the filtration process. Data was extracted from the annual reports of the sampled companies (2010 to 2019) as well as the Nigerian Stock Exchange as of 2020. The ex-post facto approach with agency theory was chosen because the event under consideration has already occurred. Stock returns are the profits or gains made by investors in the stock market. Managers may view the payment of investor returns as a positive indicator of the company's market prospects. The significance of ensuring a consistent return on stocks for publicly traded companies cannot be overstated. The purpose of this research is to look into the effects of three corporate properties on the stock returns of publicly traded consumer goods firms in Nigeria. It was discovered that concentration of ownership, institutional ownership, and ownership all have a significant impact on Nigerian stock returns. It also implies that the SEC should provide an incentive to firms that disclose accounting information in the form of a commendation.
