Stanbic Closes At Shs 205

The shares of Stanbic Bank Uganda begun trading on the Uganda Securities Exchange today, 25/1/2007. From the IPO price of Shs 70 per share, the highest price on the market was Shs 205, which just fell shy of 3 times the issue price. The challenge many brokers had was the wide spread between buying and selling prices. Most buyers wanted the stock at about Shs 150 while sellers wanted Shs 250. If the price of Shs 205 is maintained then more deals are likely to follow next week when the exchange reopens for trading.
