Why is Access Holdings PLC Share price underperforming?

Investors have been curious as to why Access Holdings PLC stock price has been underperforming, both below their expectation and compared to peers on the NGX (Nigerian Stock Exchange). Time was when Access Holdings stock price used to range similarly with United Bank for Africa (UBA) PLC, but as at today the gap between both is more than ₦12.

If there was one good thing that the world benefited from the last COVID-19 pandemic, it would be the compulsion to have meetings virtually, which then got nicely blended into our way of life afterwards. Several apps were developed and 'rediscovered' to accommodate virtual meetings, and have continued to be in use since...
