NCB Share Price Soars Amidst Anticipation of Dividend Revival!

In a thrilling turn of events, the NCB Financial Group Limited (NCBFG) witnessed an astounding 8% rally in its share prices on Thursday, reigniting the fervour of investors.

The excitement surrounding the stock’s resurgence was spurred by the expectation of the resumption of dividend payments after a two-year hiatus.

Speculations are at an all-time high as the financial conglomerate’s board gears up for a crucial meeting in just two weeks.

Thursday’s trading session saw a staggering volume of nearly 1.8 million NCBFG shares changing hands, amounting to an impressive value of $127.6 million.

The bullish momentum propelled the stock price past the $70 mark for the first time in over a month, and this marks the third consecutive day of gains following Monday’s startling announcement about the temporary departure of the company’s two most senior executives pending separation.

As of now, the stock is up a remarkable 9.05% for the week and an impressive 7.55% for the month. However, it is worth noting that it is down by 11.11% since the start of the year.

The journey for NCBFG’s stock price has been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride since July 2019, compounded by the absence of dividend declarations amidst the company’s strategic efforts to strengthen its capital base. 

But with the arrival of exhilarating news of Chairman Michael Lee-Chin’s early return from leave, the market responded with a burst of optimism.

Adding to the intrigue, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Patrick Hylton and Deputy CEO Dennis Cohen embarked on a three-week vacation leave on Tuesday, fuelling speculation that dividends may soon make a triumphant comeback.
