Bears Return to GSE As Profit-taking Drags Capitalization Down

The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) experienced a notable dip in trading activity as it closed the first weekday of trading on Monday, October 7, 2024.

In all, a total of 53,209 shares, corresponding to a market value of GHS 120,211.10, were traded, representing a significant decline in both volume and turnover compared to the previous trading day on Friday, October 4.

Specifically, the market witnessed a 96% drop in both the volume of shares traded and the total turnover, signaling a quiet day for the exchange.

GSE Holds Its Breath with Zero Index Movement

This sharp reduction in trading activity is a stark contrast to the trends seen over recent months, where the GSE had enjoyed a relatively stable and vibrant period of trading.

Monday’s session involved 16 listed equities participating in the market, with only one of these stocks recording a loss. MTN Ghana (MTNGH), the telecom giant, experienced a slight depreciation in its share price, falling by 0.46%.

MTN Ghana’s stock ended the day at GHS 2.16 per share, representing a one-pesewa decline from its previous closing price of GHS 2.17 on Friday. Despite this dip, MTN Ghana has shown a robust year-to-date performance, gaining 54.3% in value since the beginning of the year.

MTN Ghana Leads in Trading Volume

Although the day’s trading volume was substantially lower than expected, MTN Ghana led the market in terms of shares traded. A total of 19,134 shares of MTN Ghana exchanged hands, making it the most actively traded stock of the day.

Following MTN Ghana, Enterprise Group recorded a trading volume of 15,102 shares, while CalBank and Cocoa Processing Company posted volumes of 8,209 shares and 3,020 shares, respectively.

MTN Ghana’s leadership in trading volume comes as no surprise given its significant influence on the GSE. The company’s strong performance throughout 2024 has solidified its position as one of the most valuable stocks on the exchange.

Starting the year with a share price of GHS 1.40, MTN Ghana has since appreciated by over 54%, ranking it fourth on the GSE in terms of year-to-date (YTD) performance.

This substantial gain reflects the company’s ongoing expansion and investment in the telecom sector, as well as its ability to generate strong investor confidence.

Market Indices Show Mixed Results

While the overall trading volume declined sharply, the performance of the GSE market indices showed a more mixed picture. The benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI), which tracks the performance of all listed stocks on the exchange, fell by 10.67 points, representing a 0.24% decline.

By the end of Monday’s session, the GSE-CI stood at 4,354.16 points. Over the course of the week, the index recorded a 0.35% loss, though it managed to maintain a 4-week gain of 0.37%. In terms of YTD performance, the GSE-CI remains positive, with a gain of 39.1% since the beginning of the year.

On the other hand, the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) remained unchanged at 2,198.88 points. This index, which specifically tracks the performance of financial sector stocks, recorded a 1-week gain of 0.39%, a 4-week gain of 3.79%, and an impressive YTD gain of 15.63%.

The stability of the GSE-FSI amid Monday’s market downturn highlights the resilience of financial sector stocks, which have continued to perform well despite broader market fluctuations.

MTN Ghana’s strong year-to-date performance has been a key highlight of the GSE in 2024. The telecom operator has not only maintained steady growth but has also weathered occasional price dips, such as the one recorded on Monday.
