International Energy Insurance Plc (IEI) has recorded a remarkable 700 per cent growth in its share price over the past three years.
The company said the increase shows rising investor confidence and a strong market response to its restructuring and growth strategy.
IEI disclosed this at its Capital Markets Day recently held in Lagos, where it engaged investors, analysts and other capital market stakeholders on its financial performance and long-term strategic direction. The event served as a platform to highlight IEI’s transformation journey and positioning within Nigeria’s evolving insurance landscape.
Speaking at the session, the Chief Financial Officer, Uyi Osagie, said the company’s performance was driven by deliberate reforms focused on governance, capital efficiency and operational restructuring.
According to him, these efforts have strengthened the company’s balance sheet and improved underwriting quality.
“Over the past five years, IEI Plc has undergone a disciplined and deliberate transformation anchored on governance, capital efficiency, and operational restructuring. This has translated into a stronger balance sheet, improved underwriting quality, and renewed market confidence,” he said.
Osagie added that the 700 per cent growth in the company’s share price since 2023 reflects market recognition of the fundamentals rebuilt by the firm, noting that the growth was not incidental but the outcome of sustained strategic efforts.
The CFO reiterated the company’s commitment to maintaining transparency and fostering engagement with the investing public, while continuing to provide innovative insurance solutions across energy and general business lines.
The event also featured a technical presentation by Teslim Shitta-Bey, Managing Editor of Proshare, who provided a data-driven overview of macroeconomic trends influencing the Nigerian stock market and the opportunities emerging within the insurance sector.
Stakeholders at the forum noted that IEI’s performance comes at a critical time as the insurance industry approaches the end of a recapitalisation phase.
They observed that companies with strong capital bases and clear strategic direction are better positioned to capture growth opportunities in the sector.
A panel session comprising market analysts and institutional investors further examined IEI’s prospects, with discussions centred on how the company can leverage its current momentum to expand its market share and deliver long-term value to shareholders.
