Bears Dominate GSE Mid-Week Trading Session, Leaves Market Capitalization Bleeding

At the close of the first weekday of trading on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) this week, investors saw a notable decline in both trading volume and turnover compared to the previous trading day.

Monday’s trading session, which occurred on February 12, 2024, saw a total of 221,375 shares changing hands, corresponding to a market value of GHS 322,997.09. This represents an 18% decline in volume and a 30% decline in turnover compared to the preceding Friday, February 9.

The trading session involved 16 listed equities on the GSE, with one notable loser being Dannex Ayrton Starwin (DASPHARMA). DASPHARMA experienced a 8.33% share price depreciation, closing at GHS0.33 per share. This marked an 8.3% drop from its previous closing price of GHS0.36.

The company’s share price has been on a downward trend since the beginning of the year, losing 17.5% of its value and ranking 37th on the GSE in terms of year-to-date performance.

Despite its declining performance, Dannex Ayrton Starwin remains one of the most traded stocks on the GSE over the past three months, from November 9, 2023, to February 12, 2024.

During this period, DASPHARMA traded a total volume of 17,137 shares valued at GHS 6,164, with an average of 272 traded shares per session. The stock achieved a volume high of 10,000 shares on February 8th, indicating some fluctuation in investor interest.

In contrast, other stocks witnessed higher trading volumes during Monday’s session. MTN Ghana led the pack with a volume of 177,272 traded shares, followed by Societe Generale Ghana with 23,270 shares, CAL Bank with 5,000 shares, and Ghana Oil Company with 3,815 shares.

The decline in trading activity on the Ghana Stock Exchange reflects potential investor caution or market sentiment shifts. Investors may be adjusting their positions based on various factors, including company performance, economic indicators, and global market trends.

GSE Market Indices Show Mixed Performance

The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) witnessed a mixed performance in its market indices at the end of the trading week. While the benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) experienced a slight decline, the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) maintained its value.

The GSE-CI pared 0.23 points, closing at 3,177.53, representing a marginal decrease of 0.01%. Over the course of one week, the index recorded a minimal loss of 0.04%.

However, it displayed positive trends over both a four-week and year-to-date period, with gains of 1.62% and 1.51%, respectively. This indicates overall stability and modest growth in the market despite short-term fluctuations.

On the other hand, the GSE-FSI held steady at 1,910.16 points, signaling stability within the financial sector. Although the index experienced a slight decline of 0.11% over the past week, it showed gains of 0.65% over four weeks and 0.45% year-to-date. This suggests resilience within the financial sector despite broader market movements.

As of the latest data, the total market capitalization of the Ghana Stock Exchange stands at GHS 74.5 billion. This figure reflects the combined value of all listed securities on the exchange, providing insight into the overall size and valuation of the Ghanaian stock market.

The mixed performance of the GSE market indices underscores the dynamic nature of the stock market, influenced by various internal and external factors.

While short-term fluctuations may occur, the overall trajectory of modest growth and stability bodes well for investors seeking long-term opportunities in the Ghanaian market.

As trading continues throughout the week, it will be interesting to see how market dynamics evolve and whether there will be any notable shifts in investor behavior.
