Despite substantial trades in the telecom stock, Airtel Africa Plc.’s market valuation or capitalization remained constant. At N2,150, the share price stayed unchanged. The 1,128,570 shares of the company that were traded on the stock market on Tuesday did not cause the share price to alter.
Yesterday, the local exchange valued the outstanding shares of the corporation, which number 3.758 billion, at N8.080 trillion. There has been a significant decrease in volatility after the telecom giant bought minority shareholdings in Nigeria.
There haven’t been many transactions every day, and it’s difficult—or maybe uncommon—to see more than 1.2 million shares traded on the market. This is a departure from the telecom stock’s defined base line.
Despite swings in the Nigerian bourse, Airtel Africa share price is trading 2.3% behind its 52-week high on the Nigerian Exchange. Ticker: AIRTELAFRI was the most traded stock in value terms on Nigerian Exchange, accounting for 31.88% of the total value of trades on the exchange.
