Local Bourse Continues to Head South

The slide continued at the Ghana Stock Exchange on the penultimate day of the week, with the composite index in particular posting its 2nd consecutive session of losses after suffering a far bigger loss in the previous day.

In Thursday’s trading session, 12 GSE listed equities participated in trading, ending with one loser, namely MTN Ghana, with 2.17 per cent share price depreciation, while the rest traded flat as they closed at the same price they opened.

MTN Ghana closed its trading day (Thursday, May 12, 2022) at GH¢0.90 per share on the Ghana Stock Exchange, recording a 2.17 per cent drop from its previous closing price of GHS0.92. MTN began the year with a share price of GHS1.11 but has since lost 18.9 per cent off that price valuation, ranking it 32nd on the GSE in terms of year-to-date performance. Shareholders’ worries are compounded by the fact that MTNGH has lost 10 per cent of the stock’s value in just two days.

In comparison to the previous day’s trading session, this showed a decline of more than 100 percent.
