Guinness Nigeria Plc has crossed the ₦1 trillion market capitalisation threshold on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX), signalling strong investor confidence and sustained value creation.
The company’s market capitalisation stood at approximately ₦1.01 trillion as of April 10, 2026, with an enterprise value of ₦1.05 trillion. The milestone reflects a significant re-rating of the brewer, driven by improved financial performance and a strengthened growth outlook.
Guinness Nigeria’s share price closed at ₦462.90 on April 12, 2026, capping an 18-month period of notable gains in shareholder value and reinforcing positive market sentiment around the company’s strategic direction.
Its latest audited financial results for the 18-month period ended December 31, 2025, highlight the turnaround in performance. The company reported revenue of ₦730.80 billion, while gross profit rose by 152 per cent to ₦230.48 billion, indicating improved margins and operational efficiency.
In a return to profitability, Guinness Nigeria posted a net profit after tax of ₦41.16 billion, reversing losses recorded in the previous period.
The performance underscores the impact of ongoing transformation initiatives and cost optimisation strategies.
The reporting period also marked a transition to a new financial year-end of December 31 and represents the company’s first full audited results under its current ownership structure.
Chairman of the Board, Fabian Ajogwu, described the achievement as a validation of the company’s strategy.
“This is a defining moment for Guinness Nigeria and a strong validation of the strategic direction we are pursuing. Crossing the ₦1 trillion market capitalisation threshold reflects the resilience of our business, the strength of our brands, and the renewed confidence of the investment community in our long-term prospects,” he said.
He added that the company remains committed to disciplined governance, sustainable growth, and long-term value creation for stakeholders.
Guinness Nigeria attributed its improved performance to revenue growth, portfolio optimisation, cost discipline, and expanded route-to-market capabilities.
The company also cited increased focus on innovation, premiumisation, and consumer-centric strategies as key drivers of growth.
The brewer said it would continue to prioritise balance sheet strength, sustainability initiatives, and responsible consumption, while maintaining a positive impact on communities.
Looking ahead, Guinness Nigeria stated it would focus on accelerating growth through innovation, portfolio expansion, and disciplined capital allocation to enhance shareholder returns.
