It gained 4% on Friday and 7.69% yesterday. Today it gained another 7.14% to close at 60kobo per share with 18.2million unit worth N10.9million exchanging hands. For those looking to cash in, just remember this is a company that has been posting losses for the last three years and the new investment is no guaranty of an immediate reverse in fortune.
Great catch, Ugo! Looks like it still trades at a discount to the price that Transmar is paying.
The share is price is even at a further discount today after it closed at under 60kobo. Guess the rally fizzled out (lol)
