Dangote Cement Plc is hosting a Capital Markets Day in London today, as part of its preparations for a proposed secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The event aims to provide international investors and analysts with a deeper understanding of the company's business strategy, operations, and financial performance. Investors will closely assess Dangote Cement's expansion strategy, production capacity, African growth opportunities, capital allocation, profitability outlook, and plans to sustain growth across its markets.
The Capital Markets Day will provide an opportunity for investors to engage directly with Dangote Cement's senior management. The event will be held physically in London and streamed via webcast. This engagement marks a significant step in Dangote Cement's efforts to deepen its participation in international capital markets and broaden its investor base beyond Nigeria. The proposed LSE listing is expected to increase the company's visibility among global institutional investors and potentially widen its access to international capital.
Dangote Cement disclosed the planned investor engagement in a regulatory filing with the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) earlier this month, following shareholders' approval of the proposed secondary listing. The company has reported a strong financial performance in the first half of 2026, with a 21.4 per cent year-on-year increase in group revenue to N2.51 trillion. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 25.8 per cent to N1.19 trillion, while profit after tax increased by 22.7 per cent to N638.5 billion.
Dangote Cement is Africa's largest cement producer, with operations spanning 11 African countries and an installed production capacity of more than 55 million tonnes per annum. The company is listed on the Nigerian Exchange, where it remains one of the market's largest and most closely followed stocks by institutional investors. The London event will focus on how Dangote Cement intends to deploy capital, expand production, strengthen its African footprint, and maintain profitability amid changing market conditions.
The company's strong financial position and growth ambitions are expected to be key discussion points during the Capital Markets Day. Dangote Cement's management will present its investment proposition to the international capital market and position its African growth strategy. The event will also provide an update on the company's strategy, operations, and business priorities.
The proposed LSE listing complements Dangote Cement's existing listing on the NGX. The company believes that the London engagement will provide a platform to showcase its growth story and attract international investors. Dangote Cement's expansion plans and capital allocation strategy will be closely watched by investors and analysts attending the event.
Beyond the proposed LSE listing, Dangote Cement's Capital Markets Day will focus on the company's medium- and long-term growth plans. The event will provide investors with a comprehensive understanding of Dangote Cement's business and growth prospects.
