Those who bought Dangote company shares in the past are not doing badly.
Dangote Cement never had an IPO. It joined the Nigerian Stock Exchange on 26 October 2010 at ₦135 per share, after merging with Benue Cement, which was already listed. About 15.5 billion shares were listed that day. They started trading less than half an hour before the market closed and ended the day flat at ₦135.
Compared with Thursday’s close of ₦1,066.70, the price has risen roughly 7.9 times since listing. That figure leaves out the dividends the company has paid over the years.
