Confident: Peschel sees support for the share price getting stronger

The share price of the Botswana Telecommunications Corporation (BTC) rose to a seven-year high this week, driven by robust financial results and increasing investor confidence in the strategies being implemented to boost the business.

BTC, with more than 40,000 individual investors, is the Botswana Stock Exchange’s most retail-heavy counter, a state of affairs that dates back to its historic Initial Public Offer (IPO) in 2016.

BTC shares traded below the listing price of P1 from roughly December 2019 to January 2024, dipping to a record low of 60 thebe in November 2020.
