Shares climbed 3.4% to $12.62 and hit a 52-week high earlier in the session on Wednesday. Shares are up threefold year-to-date.

The pan-African e-commerce platform said Wednesday that its physical goods orders rose 30% year-over-year to 5.1 million, with 3.2 million orders from the Black Friday period, according to preliminary results for the period.

The gross merchandise value for physical goods increased 35% year-over-year, reflecting growth across its key electronics, beauty and home-and-living categories.

Excluding corporate sales, gross merchandise value rose 41%.

Sales growth was driven by Nigeria, where gross merchandise value surged 45% and orders grew 28%, and Ghana, which saw order and GMV growth of 81% and over twofold, respectively.
