- GSE closes April 13 session with MTN Ghana driving bulk of market activity
Trading on the Ghana Stock Exchange closed on Monday, April 13, 2026 with a total of 4.52 million shares exchanged for a market value of GH¢20.25 million, as Scancom PLC (MTN Ghana) overwhelmingly dominated turnover.
MTN Ghana emerged as the clear market driver, recording a traded volume of 3.04 million shares valued at GH¢16.72 million, by far the largest single contribution to the day’s activity. That means the telecoms counter alone accounted for the overwhelming majority of the value traded in the session, underlining its continued weight in market liquidity.
Among the more active stocks behind MTN Ghana were Cal Bank, which traded 1.17 million shares worth GH¢868,037.53, and Ghana Oil Company (GOIL), which exchanged 132,062 shares valued at GH¢1.04 million. Societe Generale Ghana also posted a relatively strong session, with 86,947 shares traded for GH¢466,798.92, while Atlantic Lithium recorded 50,000 shares valued at GH¢360,000.
Price movements across the session were relatively narrow, but a few counters registered gains. Atlantic Lithium rose by GH¢0.65 to close at GH¢7.20, Clydestone Ghana gained GH¢0.09 to GH¢1.20, SIC Insurance added GH¢0.16 to close at GH¢3.72, Societe Generale Ghana edged up GH¢0.01 to GH¢5.37, and TotalEnergies Marketing Ghana advanced GH¢0.41 to GH¢38.50.
The only notable decliner in the session was Enterprise Group, which shed GH¢0.03 to close at GH¢11.63. Most of the other listed counters finished unchanged, pointing to a session that was defined more by concentration in turnover than by broad-based price movement.
Outside the main equities board, the NewGold ETF traded 22 units worth GH¢11,061.38, while activity on the Ghana Alternative Market remained flat, with no value traded across listed GAX counters.
For the market as a whole, Monday’s session reinforced a familiar pattern on the Accra bourse: liquidity remains heavily concentrated in a small number of names, with MTN Ghana continuing to set the pace for turnover and overall trading depth.
