Nigeria’s capital market witnessed a significant leadership shift as BUA Foods Plc surged to the top of the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), overtaking Dangote Cement Plc and MTN Nigeria Communications Plc to become the most capitalized company, valued at N12.5 trillion.
This milestone places BUA Foods at the forefront of the Stocks Worth Over One Trillion (SWOOT) group, a prestigious index of heavyweight equities that collectively account for over N78.92 trillion in market value.
Some other SWOOT members include: GTCO Plc, Zenith Bank, Access Holdings Plc, UBA, Fidelity Bank, Seplat Energy, Geregu, Transcorp Power, Presco Plc, etc.
It is important to note that BUA Foods has one of the least shares per float on the NGX, with as high as 90% held by its core investors. Shares with small floats often attract low liquidity, which often impacts valuation.
