Guinness Nigeria tops ₦1tn market value

Guinness Nigeria PLC has crossed the ₦1 trillion market capitalisation threshold on the Nigerian Exchange, marking a major milestone that reflects growing investor confidence and sustained value creation.

As of April 10, 2026, the company’s market value stood at about ₦1.01 trillion, with an enterprise value of ₦1.05 trillion. This development highlights a strong market re-rating driven by improved financial performance and a clearer growth trajectory.

The milestone caps an impressive 18-month run during which Guinness Nigeria recorded significant gains in shareholder value. By April 12, 2026, its share price had risen to ₦462.90, underlining positive investor sentiment and confidence in its strategic direction.

Financial results for the 18-month period ended December 31, 2025, further demonstrate the company’s turnaround. Revenue climbed to ₦730.80 billion, while gross profit surged by 152 percent to ₦230.48 billion, reflecting stronger margins and operational efficiency.

The company also returned to profitability, posting a net profit after tax of ₦41.16 billion, a sharp recovery from losses recorded in the previous period. This rebound underscores the impact of its ongoing transformation initiatives.

The period also marked a significant transition, including a shift to a new financial year-end and its first full audited reporting cycle under the current ownership structure—steps that position the company for sustained growth.

Chairman Fabian Ajogwu described the achievement as a defining moment, noting that it validates the company’s strategic direction, brand strength, and long-term prospects.

Guinness Nigeria attributed its performance to revenue growth, portfolio optimisation, cost discipline, and expanded distribution channels, alongside a stronger focus on innovation and premium offerings.

Looking ahead, the company says it will continue to drive growth through consumer-focused strategies, portfolio expansion, and disciplined capital allocation, while maintaining its commitment to sustainability, governance, and shareholder value.
