Key Takeaways
The Picture So Far
Between 2 January and 8 September 2026, City Pharmacy Limited traded 1,500,784 shares on the PNGX across 62 matched on-market trades, for K1,410,482 in value.
The price trend has been consistently upward — each month that traded printed a higher VWAP than the one before — and the trailing windows confirm it, with the 30-day VWAP above both the 60- and 90-day readings.
Liquidity, however, is concentrated. A single 730,000-share trade in August drove the busiest month on record, and April passed without a matched trade. Volume-based conclusions should be read with that in mind.
01Steady VWAP uptrend
VWAP rose from K0.6105 in January to K1.0926 as of early September, across the review period.
02Short-term above long-term
The 30-day trailing VWAP (K1.0518) sits above the 60-day (K1.0404) and 90-day (K1.0368), consistent with the recent uptrend.
03August volume spike
August was the highest-volume month on record at 763,484 shares, driven largely by a single 730,000-share on-market trade.
04April gap
No matched trades were recorded in April 2026.
