Points clés à retenir
A review conducted by Whistler on the quoted companies on the Nigerian Exchange Limited reveals that 124 firms have been delisted from the local bourse since 2002. Additional companies, including GSK, have already initiated the process to be delisted. Delisting, in this context, refers to the removal of a company's security from a stock exchange. The reasons for delisting vary and may include voluntary removal due to mergers and acquisitions or violations of regulatory rules. Companies may choose to delist for strategic reasons such as restructuring, going private, or other business considerations. The dynamic nature of the stock market and corporate landscape contributes to the fluctuation in the number of listed companies over time.
