Greystone Partners Limited recorded the largest annual share price drop on the Eswatini Stock Exchange (ESE), falling by 13.24 per cent between September 2024 and September 2025.<\/p>\n
According to the ESE\u2019s Third Quarter Trading Statistics, Greystone\u2019s share price declined from E340 to E295, reducing its market capitalisation from E781.7 million to E678.2 million over the period.<\/p>\n
The fall represents one of the most notable single-year losses among listed companies, pulling overall market performance into negative territory.<\/p>\n
The ESE report attributes the overall 1.47 per cent decline in total market capitalisation largely to losses in Greystone Partners, Inala Capital Limited, and Swazi Empowerment Limited.<\/p>\n
Together, these three counters erased earlier gains recorded by Nedbank Eswatini and SBC Limited.<\/p>\n
While Greystone showed an annual loss, its stock registered a short-term rebound during the third quarter, rising by 13.46 per cent from E260 at the end of June 2025 to E295 by September.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This movement made it the strongest quarterly performer in the latest trading period, suggesting a limited recovery in investor activity.<\/p>\n
Market observers note that Greystone Partners remains a key investment company listed on the ESE, with a diversified portfolio across several sectors.<\/p>\n
Its share price movement is often viewed as a general indicator of investor sentiment within the private equity and investment segment of the market.<\/p>\n
In contrast, most other listed companies recorded minimal changes in share prices, with FNB Eswatini, RES Corporation, SWAPROP, and Nkonjeni Precast remaining unchanged over the year.<\/p>\n
SBC Limited gained 3.37 per cent, while Nedbank Eswatini rose 6.67 per cent year-on-year, offsetting part of the overall market contraction.
The quarterly data shows that the market remains relatively stable despite limited trading activity.<\/p>\n
Greystone\u2019s rebound, alongside gains from SBC and Nedbank, helped prevent deeper losses. However, the absence of broad-based growth suggests that the ESE remains in a consolidation phase, with investors focusing on dividend stability and sectoral performance rather than short-term speculation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Delisa Magagula Greystone Partners Limited recorded the largest annual share price drop on the Eswatini Stock Exchange…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,23,25,26],"tags":[46,55,73,82,58],"class_list":["post-4669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","category-finance","category-national","category-swaziland","tag-africa","tag-business","tag-eswatini","tag-finance","tag-national","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\n<\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n
