Guaranty Trust Holding Company stock traded at NGN 137.50 on the Nigerian Exchange on September 24, 2026, while its market capitalization stood at NGN 5.03 trillion. The company had entered the FTSE Frontier 50 after the index revision took effect on September 21, 2026, according to Investors King.
Index inclusion meets stronger trading
The index change gives GTCO a fresh benchmark reference as liquidity remains high on the NGX. Trading volume reached 86.19 million shares on September 24, 2026, and the stock was up 5.77 percent over seven days.
GTCO also led the exchange by transaction value during a September 17 session, when 40.55 million shares changed hands for NGN 5.27 billion, according to Investors King. That combination of index representation and turnover makes market liquidity a central part of the current stock story.
Profit falls in fiscal 2025
The operating picture is less uniform. In fiscal year 2025, profit after tax fell 14.94 percent to NGN 865 billion from NGN 1 trillion in fiscal year 2024, while earnings per share declined 28 percent to NGN 25.42 from NGN 35.44, according to Newsafriq.
Net interest income moved in the opposite direction, rising to NGN 1.26 trillion from NGN 1.05 trillion. The contrast matters because higher interest income did not translate into higher bottom-line earnings, leaving investors to weigh trading strength against the earnings decline.
GTCO operates as a financial holding company for Guaranty Trust Bank and serves corporate, commercial, business, retail, SME, and public-sector customers across several African markets and the United Kingdom, according to Daba Finance. The business mix gives the index-listed stock exposure to banking, payments, and other financial services rather than to a single lending segment.
NGX valuation stays in view
At NGN 137.50 on September 24, 2026, GTCO combined a NGN 5.03 trillion market capitalization with a 5.77 percent seven-day gain. The market is therefore assigning substantial trading value to the group while its fiscal 2025 earnings remain below the prior-year level.
