Zenith Bank Nears 52-Week High on Soft Rally

Zenith Bank Plc equities market activities bucked the trend on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) platform, inching near its 52-week high. The bank share price increased to N50 in the local bourse on Monday, despite sell pressures witnessed across key indexes.

The Tier-1 lender is now worth N2.053 trillion in the stock market.

At its scheduled annual general meeting on April 29, Zenith Bank planned to obtain the consent of shareholders to pay a final dividend of N4 per share, bringing the total profit distribution to N5 for the financial year 2024.
