Transcorp Power Extends Decline, Market Value Dips to N2.26 Trillion

Transcorp Power Plc on Monday extended its decline as the company’s directors offloaded their shares to increase liquidity.

The share dipped by 9.99% from N335.2 per share it opened the day to close at N301.7 a share.

Transcorp Power has been trading at about a 22% discount to its highest share price since listing, prompting investors to take profits before further potential market corrections.

The NGX now values Transcorp Power’s outstanding 7.5 billion shares at N2.262 trillion, down from its previous highs.

Market analysts believe this correction was inevitable, given the thin trading activity compared to the company’s substantial market value.

The drop is being viewed as a natural market adjustment, but the scale of the decline has left many investors and market watchers concerned about future movements in Transcorp Power’s stock price.

Despite the decline, Transcorp Power remains viable in the utilities sector, and the current market shake-up may present a buying opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on the lower price.

The company has yet to release an official statement addressing the stock decline, but market participants will be watching closely to see how Transcorp Power navigates this period of volatility.

Investors will also be keen to understand whether the company’s fundamentals can support a rebound in the near future, especially as the broader market faces challenges related to economic uncertainty and profit-taking activities.
