Telecommunications giant Scancom PLC (MTN Ghana) has cemented its market leadership with a stellar 2025 fiscal report, announcing a 55.9 per cent leap in profit after tax to GH\u00a27.8 billion. <\/p>\n

The results, underpinned by an aggressive expansion in data and financial services, come at a time when a stabilising macroeconomic climate has re-energised consumer spending across the country.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s service revenue surged by 36.2 per cent, reaching a staggering GH\u00a224.4 billion. This growth was propelled by a near-tripling of digital revenue and robust gains in the mobile money and data sectors, reflecting Ghana\u2019s rapidly maturing digital economy.<\/p>\n

In a move that will delight investors, the Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of GH\u00a20.40 per share. This represents a significant increase from the GH\u00a20.24 paid out the previous year, signaling deep confidence in the company\u2019s liquidity and future growth path.<\/p>\n

Pending shareholder approval at the next Annual General Meeting, the dividend is slated for distribution on 10 April 2026.<\/p>\n

In his review of the year, MTN Ghana CEO Stephen Blewett attributed the financial windfall to a combination of heavy infrastructure spending and a friendly economic backdrop.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMTN Ghana reported a strong operational and financial performance for 2025, driven by the significant investment in our network and targeted commercial initiatives that have enhanced the customer experience,\u201d Blewett remarked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He further observed that the broader economic recovery played a crucial role: \u201cThese results were achieved in a favourable macroeconomic climate, with subsiding inflation and a strengthened local currency boosting consumer purchasing power.<\/p>\n

To sustain this growth, MTN Ghana committed GH\u00a26.4 billion in capital expenditure during the year. This investment was primarily directed at bolstering 4G coverage and improving overall service quality to support a burgeoning subscriber base. Total mobile subscribers now stand at 31.2 million, with active data users jumping to 19.9 million.<\/p>\n

As the company transitions out of its \u201cAmbition 2025\u201d strategic cycle, the leadership team remains bullish on the medium-term horizon. The company has maintained its guidance for service revenue growth in the \u201cmid-to-upper thirties\u201d per cent range.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLooking ahead to 2026, MTN Ghana is well-positioned to capitalise on Ghana\u2019s improving macroeconomic environment. Building on 2025\u2019s performance and operational agility, we will continue to deliver value to our stakeholders,\u201d Blewett concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
