Capitec’s shares are often discussed due to the company’s strong historic performance on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the company was listed in February 2002, its share price has grown by roughly 385,839%<\/a> as the bank grew in size and market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The banking giant traded at R4510.29 per share when markets closed on 20 October, far higher than many of its competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In comparison, other South African banking stalwarts such as Absa and Nedbank closed at R218.49 and R289.03 on 20 October, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with Capitec, EasyAwards noted several companies, products, and investors for various trading achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These awards were decided based on empirical data from activity on EasyEquities and did not rely on votes or judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “No applications were submitted, no votes were cast, and no judging panel selected the recipients,” EasyEquities said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Every result was determined by investor activity recorded between 1 September 2025 and 31 August 2026, and calculated by the EasyEquities Business Intelligence team.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keeling said the awards are a reflection of the trading activity on the platform over the past year, based on its data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We’re using data to recognise the products investors choose, where they put their money and how they approach investing over time,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “It’s a fascinating reflection of how South Africans are investing, from those making their very first investment to those building diversified portfolios and growing their wealth consistently.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keeling added that the awards are a demonstration of “what’s really happening in both the retail and institutional investment space.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Providers such as Satrix and Allan Gray received awards for their high number of unique investors on the EasyEquities platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Globally, the awards noted that the most purchased international product was Nvidia, which has seen its value climb due to its role in global Artificial Intelligence (AI) expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The global product which attracted the highest net investment value was Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which publicly listed earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EasyEquities said the awards show how much the company has grown since its founding in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The group’s chief enablement officer, Carel Nolte, said, “We also have clients investing millions, and we frequently see months where more than R2 billion is deposited onto the platform.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We’ve matured as a business, and so has the industry around us. These awards show what our investors are achieving at scale and which products and providers they trust with their money.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Capitec took home two awards in EasyEquities’ inaugural investment awards ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":856722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"posted","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"2112858195240612160","_sma_facebook_post_id":"191437357620492_2244288829724849","_sma_instagram_post_id":"17973332337152072","_sma_x_attempts":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9872],"tags":[1798,16426,1061,2660],"class_list":["post-880688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-capitec","tag-easyequities","tag-nvidia","tag-spacex"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=880688"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880688\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":880738,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880688\/revisions\/880738"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/856722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=880688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=880688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=880688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Investing awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
