About ICT on the NGX

ICT is the youngest and fastest-evolving sector on the NGX. MTN Nigeria and Airtel Africa are the two dominant names — both are listings of the West African subsidiaries of global telecom groups, and together they represent the bulk of sector market cap. Beyond the telcos, the sector includes IT services (CWG), payments and identity (Chams Holding, eTranzact), and a small set of legacy names.

The earnings drivers are mobile data growth, broadband penetration, and the rapid scale-up of mobile money via MTN's MoMo and Airtel's SmartCash payment service banks. Tower lease costs and roaming agreements are dollar-denominated, so naira weakness directly hits margins and creates large FX losses on offshore loans — both MTN and Airtel have flagged this as a major earnings drag. Long-term, the sector is the most exposed to Nigeria's demographic and digitalisation story.

Frequently asked questions

What are the largest ICT stocks on the NGX?
MTN Nigeria and Airtel Africa are the two largest by market cap, dominating the sector. CWG, Chams Holding and eTranzact are mid- and small-cap names focused on IT services, identity and payments.
How is MTN Nigeria performing?
MTN Nigeria has reported strong subscriber and data growth, offset in recent years by very large FX losses on dollar-denominated tower leases and offshore borrowings. Earnings are expected to normalise as the naira stabilises.
Can I buy mobile money stocks on the NGX?
Yes — both MTN and Airtel Africa operate Payment Service Banks (MoMo and SmartCash respectively), and revenue from these services flows into their consolidated NGX-listed financials.
