Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc (GTCO) saw its market valuation decline by 2.16% to £1.75 billion on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), according to trading data tracked by BusinessNg Newspaper
The dip comes amid fluctuating trading activity and cautious investor sentiment ahead of the group’s fourth-quarter earnings release.
Trading activity and price movement
GTCO’s trading volume on the LSE has shown sharp swings in recent months. As investor anticipation around earnings built up, volumes surged to 470.45 million shares in October before falling steeply to 10.82 million shares in December, reflecting reduced market participation.
The stock closed at £0.06, pressured by sell-offs as investor sentiment weakened ahead of the earnings announcement. Trading activity has remained relatively thin, limiting significant movements in the company’s market capitalization.
Data from the London bourse shows that GTCO’s share price peaked at £0.09 at the end of July. Since then, price performance has remained largely negative, marked by intermittent rebounds but an overall downward trend.
Despite the recent decline, GTCO is still trading above its 52-week low of £0.05, suggesting some level of price support.
Share capital disclosure
In line with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Disclosure and Transparency Rules, GTCO disclosed that its issued ordinary share capital comprises 36.43 billion ordinary shares, each with a par value of 0.001p
