Abstract

This paper evaluates the impact of the Lusaka Securities Exchange (LUSE) on the financial performance of telecommunication companies in Zambia: a study of Airtel Zambia Limited (2012 – 2021). Using time series quantitative data and a combination of primary and secondary data obtained through structured questionnaires to meet the following specific research objectives: i) to analyse the effect of Airtel Zambia’s stock price on the annual net revenue of Airtel Zambia, ii) to determine the correlation between Airtel Zambia’s stock price and the annual net revenue of Airtel Zambia, iii) to determine management’s level of knowledge of the Securities Exchange Market and how the knowledge is being applied to influence revenue performance, iv) to examine the perception of employees on the effect of stock price on the revenue performance of Airtel Zambia Limited and v) to identify and examine factors that affect revenue performance of Airtel Zambia Limited. The results of the study show that there exists a statistically significant relationship, there is a low effect of stock prices on Airtel Zambia’s revenue and that there is a correlation between the stock price and revenue performance. It is recommended that more concerted efforts should be made toward stimulating participation on the stock exchange both from the companies’ side and the customers side.
