GSE Market Cap Hits GHS 137 Billion as MTN Ghana Leads Gainers

In a show of bullish performance, the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) witnessed a significant jump in its indices during Thursday’s trading session.

The GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI), a key benchmark of the market’s overall performance, surged by 109.24 points, a 2.43% increase, to close at 4,603.16. This impressive leap not only marks a 1-week gain of 3.09% but also represents a substantial 4-week gain of 18.17% and a robust year-to-date increase of 47.06%.

The primary drivers of this surge were the notable gains in two key equities: MTN Ghana and Benso Oil Palm Plantation (BOPP). MTN Ghana, a major telecommunications giant, saw its share price rise by 3.85%, closing at GHS2.43 per share. This reflects a GHS0.09 gain from its previous closing price of GHS2.34.

Starting the year at GHS22.00, BOPP has gained 4.64% in value, placing it 14th in the year-to-date performance rankings on the GSE.

While these gains were substantial, the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) remained unchanged at 2,101.90 points. Despite this stability, the index recorded a 1-week gain of 0.4%, a slight 4-week loss of 0.3%, and a respectable year-to-date gain of 10.53%. The performance of financial stocks, therefore, remains a crucial component of the GSE’s overall market dynamics.

Notable Increase in Market Activity

The trading session saw a notable increase in market activity. A total of 76,643 shares, valued at GHS 217,054.06, were traded. This represented a 29% increase in trading volume and a remarkable 119% improvement in turnover compared to the previous trading day on July 31.

MTN Ghana led the market in terms of traded volume, with 61,101 shares changing hands. Other significant contributors included CalBank with 4,974 shares, Enterprise Group with 3,080 shares, and Ecobank Ghana with 2,866 shares.

The overall bullish performance not only boosted individual stock prices but also significantly enhanced the market’s capitalization. The GSE’s total market capitalization rose by GHS1.2 billion, from the previous GHS93.3 billion to GHS94.5 billion. This substantial increase underscores the growing investor confidence and the positive market sentiment prevailing in the GSE.

In its entirety, the Ghana Stock Exchange experienced a remarkable day of trading, marked by significant gains in key indices and stocks. The strong performance of MTN Ghana and Benso Oil Palm Plantation, coupled with the increased market activity, reflects a vibrant and optimistic market environment.

The sharp rise In market capitalization further highlights the strength of the local bourse, making it an attractive destination for investors. As the GSE continues to demonstrate resilience and growth, stakeholders and market participants will closely monitor these developments, anticipating further opportunities in the Ghanaian stock market.
