MTN Ghana Extends Losing Streak, Down Over 10% as Sell-Off Deepens into New Week

MTN Ghana (MTNGH) is facing sustained selling pressure, with its share price falling consistently throughout last week, and continuing its decline into the final week of May. From GH¢3.53 on May 19 to GH¢3.18 by May 27, the telecom heavyweight has shed more than 10.2% of its value over just seven trading sessions.

This extended decline, which began on Monday, May 19, has not eased. Instead, the downtrend resumed at the start of this week, with the stock slipping a further GH¢0.02 on Monday, May 26, and remaining flat at GH¢3.18 on Tuesday, May 27.

Market analysts attribute the continued dip to a mix of profit-taking following strong Q1 results, a sector-wide retreat from telecom stocks, and broader investor caution across Ghana’s equities market.

Seven Days, Seven Losses

MTN Ghana has now registered seven consecutive daily losses, a rare stretch for one of the exchange’s most heavily traded and stable equities. Last week’s trading saw daily price drops ranging from GH¢0.01 to GH¢0.17, with May 19 marking the highest volume for the period, 696,455 shares traded, totaling GH¢2.46 million in value.

Trading volume slowed toward the end of the week, dipping to just over 100,000 shares on May 23. The downward momentum resumed as the new week began, underscoring continued investor hesitation.

Despite the pullback, MTNGH’s current price of GH¢3.18 remains above its 52-week low of GH¢2.50, though the recent trend has raised fresh concerns among market watchers and short-term traders.
