WHY GSE SHARE PRICES RISE AND FALL A stock falls today, rises tomorrow — nothing "just happened." Twelve real factors drive this. 1. Demand & Supply — More buyers than sellers pushes price up, and vice versa. This is the base for everything else. 2. Financials — MTN Ghana's Q1 2026 profit rose 46.8% to GH¢2.48bn, EPS from 12.8p to 18.7p. Strong results build confidence and demand. 3. Non-Financial Factors— Leadership disputes or governance issues can shake a stock even when earnings are solid. 4. Policy — MTN's March 2026 split of its mobile money unit into MMFL shows how restructuring reshapes a stock. 5. Alternative Investments — T-bill yields have dropped (91-day ~5.87%, 182-day ~7.79%). Lower T-bill returns push money toward GSE stocks. 6. Dividends — MTNGH's GH¢0.40 final dividend (ex-div 24 March 2026) and new GH¢0.03+GH¢0.03 quarterly payout (ex-div 3 June) show prices rising before ex-div, easing after. 7. Liquidity — Thin trading means one large order can swing a small-cap stock's price significantly. 8. Sentiment — Hype-driven buying inflates prices short-term; only earnings sustain them long-term. 9. Artificial Trading — Some players sell to create panic, then buy back cheap. Always check volume with price moves. 10. Institutional Trading— SSNIT's large GSE holdings mean their trades can move prices more than months of retail activity.
