Guinness Nigeria Plc has crossed the ₦1 trillion market capitalisation threshold on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), marking a significant milestone that reflects strong investor confidence and sustained value creation.
As of April 10, 2026, the company’s market capitalisation stood at about ₦1.01 trillion, with an enterprise value of ₦1.05 trillion. The development signals a notable market re-rating, driven by improved fundamentals and a renewed growth trajectory.
The milestone crowns an impressive 18-month performance period during which Guinness Nigeria delivered substantial gains in shareholder value. By April 12, 2026, its share price closed at ₦462.90, underscoring continued upward momentum and positive investor sentiment toward the company’s strategic direction.
Audited financial results for the 18-month period ended December 31, 2025, highlight the company’s transformation. Revenue rose to ₦730.80 billion, while gross profit surged by 152 per cent to ₦230.48 billion, reflecting strong margin expansion and improved operational efficiency.
In a major turnaround, the company posted a net profit after tax of ₦41.16 billion, rebounding from a loss recorded in the previous period. The return to profitability underscores the effectiveness of its transformation strategy and reinforces its commitment to delivering long-term shareholder value.
The reporting period also marks a pivotal phase in the company’s evolution, including its transition to a new financial year-end of December 31 and its first full audited results under the current ownership structure.
Chairman of the Board, Prof. Fabian Ajogwu, SAN, described the achievement as a defining moment for the company.
“This milestone validates the strategic direction we are pursuing. Crossing the ₦1 trillion market capitalisation mark reflects the resilience of our business, the strength of our brands, and renewed investor confidence in our long-term prospects,” he said.
He added that the company remains committed to strong corporate governance, sustainable growth, and delivering value to stakeholders.
Guinness Nigeria attributed its improved performance to revenue growth, portfolio optimisation, cost discipline, and expanded route-to-market capabilities. These efforts were further supported by increased focus on innovation, premiumisation, and consumer-centric strategies.
The company also continues to strengthen its balance sheet, deepen sustainability initiatives, and uphold responsible consumption while driving positive community impact.
Looking ahead, Guinness Nigeria said it will sustain growth through portfolio expansion, innovation, and disciplined capital allocation, with a continued focus on enhancing shareholder returns.
