NGX notified of the reclassification of United Capital Plc from the Low-Priced Stock Group to the Medium-Priced Stock Group, in line with The NGX’s Pricing Methodology framework.
Equity securities of Quoted Companies on The Exchange (NGX) are classified into three Stock Price Groups or Categories – High-Priced, Medium Priced, and Low-Priced Stocks, based on their market price. In this regard, securities must have traded for at least four out of the most recent six-month period within a Stock Price Group’s specified price band to be classified into the category.
Accordingly, a review of United Capital Plc stock price and trade activities over the most recent six-month period provides the basis for reclassifying the security from the Low-Priced Stock Group to the Medium-Priced Stock Group. This reclassification also necessitates the attendant change in the tick size change from N0.01 kobo to N0.05 kobo – in line with Rule 15.29: Pricing Methodology, Rulebook of The Exchange, 2015 (Trading License Holders’ Rules).
