Why did WAF rise 9.8% on 25 Mar 2026?
West African
Stock rose on March 24 likely ahead of a period of operational uncertainty surrounding the Kiaka project transition, though no direct news on the up-move date is available.
The only company-specific article is dated March 26 and describes a decline due to Kiaka transition uncertainty, which is after the March 24 up-move. No article from March 24 or earlier provides a reason for the 9.76% rise. Given the lack of event-date news, the price move cannot be confidently attributed to a specific driver.
