Profit-taking cost Nigerian Breweries' investors billions of Naira
Some Nigerian Breweries investors took out their funds from the brewer to protect their investment after the stock value of the firm stood at N57 per share in the first week of August.
As investors dumped their shares and took out their investments, the stock price of Nigerian Breweries deprecated to N48 per share by September 3, 2021.
The sell off by the outgoing investors cost other remaining Nigerian Breweries shareholders a whooping amount, as they lost N71.97 billion within four weeks.
Rising revenue fails to appease shareholders
This comes after the company released its financials for the second quarter of 2021, which showed that Nigerian Breweries significantly surpassed the N42.99 billion it generated during lockdown in Q2 2020, after posting N103.58 billion for Q2 2021.
However, the revenue growth wasn't enough to convince some shareholders from thinking their investment will go negative, hence, triggering a bearish period for Nigerian Breweries.
