Banks and Consumer Goods Stocks Lead Bourse to More Gains

The Ghana stock market returned from the Eid ul-ftr break with more appetite for growth, as on the penultimate day of the week, its benchmark climbed for the 3rd session in a row, led by both the financial and consumer stocks.

In total, 13 GSE listed equities participated in trading, ending with two gainers and no losers. The two gainers were Unilever Ghana (+9.09%) from the consumer goods sector and GCB Bank (+1.59%) from the financial sector.

Unilever Ghana Limited (UNIL) is currently on two-day gaining streak, having gained on Wednesday and Thursday. UNIL closed its trading day (Thursday, April 27, 2023) at GHS4.80 per share on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), recording a 40 pesewa gain over its previous closing price of GHS4.40. However, it is worth noting that Unilever began the year with a share price of GHS3.88 and has since gained 23.7% on that price valuation, ranking it fourth on the GSE in terms of year-to-date performance.
