MTN Nigeria Communications Plc has etched its name into the history books of the Nigerian capital market, becoming the first publicly listed company on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) to reach a ₦10 trillion market capitalization.

This milestone reflects not just investor confidence, but the company’s sustained operational excellence and strategic execution in a challenging macroeconomic environment.

A Year of Unrelenting Growth

MTN’s stock performance has been nothing short of stellar:

  • Year-to-date (YTD): +136.00%
  • 1-year growth: +148.42%
  • 5-year growth: +300.34%

The company’s momentum has accelerated in recent months, with a 32.03% rise in the past month and 88.80% growth over the last quarter, driven by strong financial results, aggressive network investments, and renewed investor optimism.

Market Dynamics

  • Best Buy Price: ₦480.5
  • Best Sell Price: ₦485.9

These figures reflect heightened demand and liquidity around MTN shares, as institutional and retail investors continue to rally behind the telecom giant’s long-term prospects.

Strategic Execution Pays Off

MTN Nigeria’s H1 2025 financial results revealed a 54.6% increase in service revenue, 119.5% jump in EBITDA, and a return to profitability with ₦414.9 billion PAT.

The company’s aggressive capex strategy, ₦565.7 billion in H1 alone, has fueled subscriber growth, data expansion, and fintech innovation.

This is not surprising based on what was said in the company’s H1 results released on Wednesday.

MTN’s CEO, Dr. Karl Toriola’s vision of restoring the company’s balance sheet and scaling digital infrastructure is clearly resonating with the market.

Commenting on the financial report, Dr. Toriola said:

“We are excited by the progress made in the first half of 2025, reflecting the successful execution of the strategic priorities we previously communicated to the market. Building on the momentum from the first quarter, we delivered strong growth in service revenue for the period under review. This was driven by robust demand for our services, proactive customer value management and price adjustments, mainly in Q2. In reinforcing this growth, we accelerated investment in our network to enhance capacity, coverage and quality of experience.

We also continued to execute efficiency initiatives to further accelerate the recovery of our profitability. In light of the strong momentum in our business,…and we remain firmly on track to restore our balance sheet to a positive net asset position by the end of Q3.

A Symbol of Market Maturity

This ₦10 trillion valuation is more than a corporate win, it’s a signal of Nigeria’s evolving capital market. MTN’s rise reflects the growing appetite for tech-driven, dividend-yielding stocks and the increasing role of telecoms in shaping Africa’s digital economy.

As MTN Nigeria continues to expand its footprint in mobile, data, fintech, and infrastructure, investors are betting on a future where connectivity powers commerce, inclusion, and innovation.
