The Ghana Stock Exchange witnessed an energetic trading session on Wednesday, 26 November 2025, with a dramatic jump in activity powered by heavy trades in MTN Ghana and solid performances from key banking stocks.
The day closed with notable price movements across five equities, reinforcing the ongoing bullish sentiment that has kept the market on an impressive upward trajectory this year.
Market turnover soared on the back of 15.5 million shares exchanged, contributing a remarkable GH¢69.46 million in value, one of the strongest sessions in recent weeks. MTN Ghana alone accounted for more than 14.6 million shares, cementing its position as the day’s liquidity engine. The telecom giant edged up by GH¢0.01 to GH¢4.21, a small but symbolic gain considering the sheer volume of trades behind it.
The banking sector added further momentum to the market. Ecobank Ghana (EGH) posted the day’s standout performance, rallying by GH¢1.39 to reach GH¢22.00, its year high. Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) and Cal Bank (CAL) also recorded mild but positive movements, each adding GH¢0.01 to close at GH¢29.13 and GH¢0.39, respectively.
Investor confidence in the financial counters continues to build, supported by steady earnings and improving risk sentiment.
