GTCO

GTCO is Nigeria's premier financial holding company, combining a Tier-1 banking franchise with nascent non-bank subsidiaries (payments, HoldCo), underpinned by a reported ROE of ~20% (independent data source: 25%) on BVPS of ₦99.19 and a 10% dividend yield at current prices. At ₦132.7, the stock trades at 1.34x P/B — at the top end of its computed fair-value band (base ₦114.15, bull ₦132.53) — leaving limited margin of safety on a P/B basis, though independently sourced EPS of ₦19.15 at 5.48x P/E and a street target of ₦157.38 suggest earnings-based upside the P/B model alone does not fully capture. The investment case hinges on whether normalised through-cycle ROE sustainably justifies a premium multiple, a question complicated by FX/fair-value gains inflating recent reported returns.
