Over GH¢39 Million Worth of Shares Change Hands in Explosive Trading Session

The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) began the week on an electrifying note, recording a dramatic surge in both trading volume and turnover.

At the close of the first weekday of trading, a total of 3,162,937 shares, corresponding to a market value of GH¢39,191,933.63, had exchanged hands — a clear signal of renewed investor confidence in Ghana’s capital market.

Compared to the previous trading session on Friday, October 3, the figures reveal a 229% improvement in volume and a jaw-dropping 992% jump in turnover. This exceptional performance underscores the growing appetite among investors for Ghanaian equities, particularly in the banking and financial sectors, which have been posting impressive quarterly earnings and dividend announcements in recent months.

GCB Bank Steals the Spotlight

Among the 19 listed equities that participated in the day’s trading, GCB Bank PLC dominated the market with a remarkable 2.45 million shares traded, accounting for the lion’s share of total market activity. The strong performance by GCB Bank not only reflects investors’ confidence in its financial stability and market leadership but also its consistent dividend track record and strategic investments in digital banking innovation.

Other key performers included MTN Ghana, which recorded 339,590 traded shares, CalBank with 168,705 shares, and SIC Insurance Company with 115,846 shares. These four stocks together accounted for nearly 95% of the total volume, reflecting heightened investor interest in the banking and telecom sectors — two of the most resilient pillars of Ghana’s economy.

On the price performance front, the trading day ended on a positive note with four gainers and just one loser. CalBank led the gainers with a 4.35% rise in share price to close at GH¢0.72 per share, reflecting strong investor optimism following recent corporate developments and earnings disclosures.

NewGold ETF followed closely with a 2.75% appreciation, demonstrating continued investor preference for gold-backed assets amid lingering global economic uncertainties. Ecobank Transnational Inc. (ETI) and GCB Bank also posted modest gains of 1.1% and 1%, respectively.

Meanwhile, TotalEnergies Marketing Ghana was the sole loser of the day, shedding a marginal 0.11% in value — a negligible dip that did little to dampen the overall bullish sentiment on the market.

Market Indices Continue Upward Momentum

The impressive trading activity translated into gains for the market’s key performance indicators. The GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) inched up by 11.63 points (0.14%) to close at 8,422.19, marking a 1-week gain of 3.19%, a 4-week gain of 17.42%, and an outstanding year-to-date gain of 72.28%.

Similarly, the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) advanced by 0.43% to reach 3,897.28 points, bringing its 1-week gain to 2.8%, its 4-week gain to 13.15%, and its year-to-date rise to 63.7%. These consistent gains over multiple timeframes reflect the sustained momentum of Ghana’s equity market recovery, driven by easing inflation, improved corporate earnings, and growing foreign investor participation.

The latest trading session also pushed the market capitalization of the Ghana Stock Exchange to an impressive GH¢166 billion, further cementing the GSE’s position as one of West Africa’s most vibrant and resilient stock markets. The sustained increase in market cap is largely attributed to strong investor participation, new listings, and a rebound in share prices across key sectors.

The uptrend aligns with broader macroeconomic improvements — including stabilizing inflation and a strengthening cedi — that are helping restore investor confidence after a turbulent 2022 and early 2023 period marked by fiscal tightening and debt restructuring efforts.

Analysts believe that the latest surge in trading volume and value could mark the beginning of a bullish final quarter of 2025 for the GSE. The combination of strong corporate fundamentals, stable macroeconomic indicators, and improving investor sentiment provides a favorable backdrop for sustained equity market growth.

The surge in turnover — nearly tenfold in just one trading session — suggests that large institutional investors and fund managers may be rebalancing portfolios in anticipation of year-end performance rallies. With financial stocks leading the charge and consumer-driven sectors showing signs of renewed growth, the market outlook remains bright.

In the intervening time, market observers expect the positive sentiment to persist, especially as companies prepare to release third-quarter results. The financial sector is projected to remain a key driver, buoyed by improved profitability, strong liquidity buffers, and lower non-performing loan ratios.

Investors will also be closely watching monetary policy developments and inflation trends, as these factors will continue to influence equity valuations and trading activity. If current trends hold, the GSE could close 2025 with one of its strongest performances in the past decade.
