Access Bank Plc (ABL) declared a ₦2.50 dividend for 2024, representing a yield of 10.82%, which is higher than GTB’s ₦8.03 dividend that offered a lower yield of 8.53%.
Despite the attractive dividend, ABL’s stock performance has been positive, gaining 21.26% over the past 12 months to close at ₦23.10 as of July 10, 2025. However, it is down 3.14% year-to-date.
The stock hit a high of ₦28.9/share in February 2025 but has since declined to to ₦24.9/share in July 2025
If the dividend yield crosses 12%, ABL may become more appealing to investors.
