Financial analysts and stockbrokers have projected that the listing by introduction of Transcorp Power Plc on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), may bring high yield for discerning investors.
They also believed that the listing presents opportunities for deeply enriching the nation's capital market while also providing funding leverage for the nation's power sector.

Speaking on the listing, Managing Partner, QL Resources Limited, Abdulmumin Ali said playing in the capital market will provide impressive rewards for investors and also help in enriching the Nigerian capital market.
He noted that Transcorp Power shares have already gained more than 47 per cent since it was launched one week ago, Ali predicted a sustained good performance of the stock in the market and said investors who take early positions will reap immense benefits in the short to medium term.
“Anybody with investible funds at this time should buy Transcorp Power shares. Such investments will likely triple within the next one year,” Ali predicted.
On where he hinged his prediction, Ali pointed at the 84 percent spike in profits between 2022 and 2023 as well as the exponential increase in share capital over the same period as indicators of great opportunities for investors.
“Transcorp Power had their Revenue From Contract With Customers grow by 57per cent over the past year to culminate in a Profit Before Tax of N52.7bn as at the year ended December 31, 2023. This in effect was a Profit spike of 84per cent from N27.6billion as at December 2022. Again, you will note, when you review the Independent analysts' reports that their topline has grown consistently over the past 5 years, with good efficiency ratios.”
