The Lusaka Securities Exchange (LuSE) recorded a strong rebound in market activity, with total turnover soaring to K10.8 million in the week ending May 9, 2025 — a 111 percent increase from the previous week’s K3 million.
According to LuSE’s weekly report, the surge in turnover was accompanied by a 350 percent rise in trading volume, with 1,480,369 shares traded across 1,107 transactions.
“The market posted robust activity this week,” the report stated, attributing part of the jump to a shorter trading week previously due to public holidays.
Zanaco led the week’s performance, contributing 61 percent of total turnover and 81 percent of traded volume. Copperbelt Energy Corporation Zambia (CECZ) followed with 18 percent of turnover and 10 percent of volume.
The LuSE All Share Index closed the week at 17,161.58 points, up 2.95 percent.
In terms of individual stock movements, CECZ posted the highest gain, rising 10.22 percent to close at K14.99. Modest gains were also recorded by Chilanga Cement and Airtel Networks Zambia, up 0.14 and 0.01 percentage points, respectively.
Standard Chartered Bank Zambia was the only stock to register a loss, dipping 2.51 percent to K1.94.
