Share offers and listings across Africa, the Caribbean, North America and the global exchanges — including the Black-owned companies you can own a piece of — sorted by how real they are. Every entry links to the source it came from, because a date somebody screenshotted is not a date.

Nigerian Exchange (NGX)
NGX Invest lists every open Nigerian offer in one place
Nigeria moved public offers and rights issues onto one electronic portal. Whatever is open on any given day appears there — this is the page to check before you trust a screenshot on WhatsApp.
Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE)
Caribbean-owned companies going public at small-business scale
Jamaica's Junior Market was built so locally owned companies could list without institutional-scale balance sheets — and Jamaican retail investors piled in. It is the most successful small-company listings board in the region and new offers appear regularly.
TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV)
Where small Canadian companies go public — Toronto's on-ramp
Canada runs a junior exchange specifically for smaller companies, which is where most first-time Canadian listings land before graduating to the main board. If you are building here, this is the ladder.
Dates announced by the company or the exchange.
Nigerian Exchange (NGX)
Africa's largest-ever public offer opens 14 September
The company behind the continent's biggest oil refinery is selling shares to the public at ₦525 each, with a minimum order of 10 shares. This is the one everybody on the continent is watching.
Signalled but not confirmed. Treat circulating dates as rumour.
Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE)
Kenya keeps signalling a return of new listings
Nairobi has been the loudest market in East Africa about reviving new listings, including state-linked ones. Dates move often, so treat any circulating date as unconfirmed until the exchange or the regulator says so.
Egyptian Exchange (EGX)
Egypt keeps selling slices of state companies to the market
Cairo has run the most active state-divestment programme on the continent, floating stakes in banks, hotels and industrial firms. New tranches surface with short notice.
Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE)
Africa's deepest market keeps courting new listings
The JSE has spent years trying to reverse a long run of delistings, including easier routes for smaller companies. Anything in the pipeline appears on the exchange's own listings notices first.
Bourse de Casablanca
North Africa's most active listings push outside Cairo
Casablanca has been pushing new listings and a small-company board as Morocco builds out its capital market. Dates and terms come from the exchange and the regulator, not from social media.
History worth knowing before you judge a new offer.
Nigerian Exchange (NGX)
The listing that proved Nigerian retail investors would show up
MTN Nigeria's arrival on the exchange put one of the country's most-used brands into ordinary portfolios, and it is still the reference point every Nigerian offer gets measured against.
Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE)
The offer that turned hundreds of thousands of Kenyans into shareholders
Safaricom's flotation remains the continent's most successful retail offer by sheer number of first-time investors. It is the proof that ordinary people will buy in when the brand is part of daily life.
London Stock Exchange & NGX
An African operator that trades in London and Lagos at the same time
Airtel Africa is one of the clearest examples of a dual-listed African business: the same company, two exchanges, two investor bases. If you are outside Africa, this is the kind of name you can usually reach through an ordinary broker.
Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE)
The listing that pulled a new generation of Ghanaian retail investors in
MTN Ghana's flotation was deliberately built for small investors, with mobile-money subscription and a low entry price. It is the West African template for retail-first offers.
Nasdaq (UONE / UONEK)
The largest Black-owned media company trading on a US exchange
Urban One is the radio, digital and TV company built by Cathy Hughes — the first Black woman to head a publicly traded American company. It is one of the few places culture-first Black media shows up as a listed share you can actually buy.
Nasdaq (CARV)
A Harlem-founded Black-owned bank that trades publicly
Carver was founded in Harlem in 1948 to serve communities other banks would not. It is one of the small handful of Black-managed banks in the US that ordinary investors can own a piece of on a public exchange.
Nasdaq (BYFC)
The largest Black-led minority depository institution in the US
Broadway Financial and City First merged to create the biggest Black-led bank holding company in America, focused on affordable housing and small business lending in underserved neighbourhoods.
New York Stock Exchange (RLJ)
The hotel REIT founded by BET's Robert L. Johnson
RLJ is a listed hotel real-estate trust founded by Robert L. Johnson, who built BET and became the first Black American billionaire. It is a working example of moving from media ownership into asset ownership.
