Highlights of Aluminium Extrusion Industries PLC in 2021
Aluminium Extrusion Industries PLC started the year with a share price of 8.10 NGN, but it has since lost 11.1% in value on this price valuation, subsequently ranking it 124th on the NGX in terms of year-to-date performance.

In August, the Nigerian Exchange Group announced that all companies with a listing on NGX should have certain amounts of issued capital available to be used for trading at any point. This would allow these companies to leverage their market capitalization, helping them remain within the regulatory threshold on any given trading day.
This rule was implemented to allow liquidity in the stock market. It also helped to guard against price distortions that could be derived from a limited supply of stocks. These supply constraints were specifically attributed to constraints caused by promotors along with major shareholders of listed companies refusing to dilute holdings, allowing for a certain number of shares to enter the public.
Aluminium Extrusion Industries PLC was one of these companies that recorded free float deficiencies of 257.6 million NGN. Compliance with this rule can be done either by the percentage of total shares in the hands of the public or according to the value of the free-float.
