MTN Nigeria More Valuable Than Nigerian Banks, Insurance Companies Combined by Parachoko: 8:26am On May 22, 2022
MTN Nigeria now more valuable than all Nigerian Banks, Insurance Companies combined.

MTN Nigeria is now worth N5 trillion making it more valuable than all banks, insurance companies, and the entire financial services companies

Why MTN share price may have peaked

Nigeria’s telecommunication giant, MTN Nigeria is now worth N5 trillion making it more valuable than all banks, insurance companies, and the entire financial services companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange combined.

This is according to market valuation data as of May 20th, 2022, tracked and compiled by Nairametrics from the Nigerian Exchange.

As of Friday, MTN Nigeria closed with a total market capitalization of N5.068 trillion making it the third most capitalized stock on the Nigerian Exchange. MTN Nigeria now joining Airtel and Dangote Cement, all members of the SWOOT to be worth more than the financial services sector.

MTN was briefly the most capitalized stock two weeks ago when the share price was trading at N264 per share valuing it at N5.3 trillion. However, Airtel and Dangote Cement prices have since risen while MTN shed some of its gains.

MTN Nigeria belongs to a category of companies termed SWOOTs by Nairametrics which means Stocks Worth Over One Trillion Naira. Other members of the group include Airtel Africa (N5.5 trillion) Dangote Cement (N5.1 trillion), BUA Cement (N2.5 trillion), Nestle (N1.1 trillion), and BUA Food (N1 trillion).


MTN now more Valuable than all Financial Services Companies
Shares of MTN have been on the rise since the beginning of the year starting from about N197 to as high as N270 last week.

The share spike which is also largely driven by MTN’s blistering 2021 FY results and 2022 first-quarter results took it past N5 trillion during the week joining Airtel and Dangote Cement as the only three stocks worth over N5 trillion in Nigeria.
The entire Nigerian Financial Services sector which includes banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions is valued at a combined N4 trillion.
With an over N1 trillion gap between MTN’s valuation and that of Financial services companies, the telecom giant is now firmly more valued than all of them and will have to experience a 20% dip in share price to fall below.
MTN’s share price has risen 51.38% in the last year.
While Airtel, valued at over N5.5 trillion is also more valuable than all the financial services firms, MTN is more significant as the company’s financials represent income generated from Nigeria alone, excluding other African countries.

Airtel’s income includes that of other sub-Saharan African countries even though the income of Nigeria is dominant with about 40% of revenues.



Why are telcos more valuable
A combination of factors explains why MTN and even Airtel are more valuable than the Nigerian financial services sector including banks.

While banks have been declaring impressive profits telcos have gone further by not just declaring profits but achieving double-digit growth projections for other sectors of their market, especially data.
With over 199 million active mobile subscribers, telcos have the customer base and demand that will continue to drive up revenues and profits in years to come.
Apart from data, Telcos also have the capacity and funding to veer into other sectors of the economy starting with banking. The recent MOMO license obtained by MTN opens up a new source of revenue for the organization.
Asides, from their growth prospects, telcos also have better control of their margins and returns. Unlike the financial services sector, Telcos deliver over 100% return on average equity of about 20%. MTN reported a return on average equity of 134% in 2021.
Apart from fundamentals, Nigerian banks also have billions in shares trading with much higher liquidity when compared to telcos.
This is due to the high proportion of single owners of the shares of the banks compared to telcos. For example, Zenith has about 643, 965 shareholders compared to MTN’s 10,931 as of the end of 2021. Also, whilst 2 shareholders own 15% of Zenith Bank, one shareholder owns 76% of MTN.
The shift in the size of Nigeria’s economy
We are also not surprised that MTN has now eclipsed the entire financial service sector in market valuation.

According to Nigeria’s GDP data, the telecommunications sector had a nominal GDP of N14.1 trillion as of December 2021 compared to N5.3 trillion for the entire financial services sector.
10 years ago (2021), Telecommunication Sector has a nominal GDP of N5.3 trillion while banks had a GDP nominal size of N1.49 trillion.
This was not the case before the advent of Telcos.

I wander why Nigerian laws are so lenient on this network provider.

There data price is so expensive, but there network is very terrible.

In this 2022, there is no network provider that's operating a stable and fast internet service in Nigeria. And nobody is doing anything about it, everybody just dey look as dem dey make billions of Naira and not giving value for money.

MTN has no excuse for not giving us fast and stable internet service in Nigeria by now.

See money everywhere. There's bastard money in Tech and Agro and manufacturing sectors.

Agro and manufacturing sectors might need lots of infrastructure to give you the required money which ordinary Nigerian might not be able to afford.

But have you seen tech? It requires just thinking outside the box. Just imagine developing an app with global consumption.

As for manufacturing, anyone that can venture into steel, aluminium, ceramics, glass even wood production in this country will become a billionaire sooner.

Or just imagine preserving the abundant sea resources and shipping it to the North. Even palm oil

Why on Earth do they keep stealing from us ?
angry angry Personally, MTN have stolen so much from me. I can't possibly calculate or estimate. However, the amount they stole can get me a fairly used Helicopter.
For some guys here the amount they stole from them can build a nice house, buy a transformer for their village, and latest iPhone.

For others, especially the unmarried among us, MTN has stolen huge amounts from them that could suffice for a lavish wedding ceremony.

Even my struggling and hustling guys would tell you that MTN has stolen their money very close to price of a Toyota Corolla.

Our banking sectors are the ones killing great ideas with over 30 percent interest. We need 5 to 9 percent interest rates for our manufacturing & Naira to grow. The non interest bank ie, Islamic Bank are too small to grow our economy.

That doesn't matter to an average investor; what matters is the dividend yield and PE ratio.

Why should I buy MTN shares with yield of 2% and ignore Zenithbank of yield of 15%?

Okay...I think you meant to say MTN is more valuable than access Bank?

MTN that deducts money when a call does not go through?

MTN that deducts data even when you turn it off?

Next time, give out questionnaires to individuals for a good accessment of the value of your company.
