Limuru Tea stock (LIMT) closed at KES 532.00 on the Nairobi Securities Exchange on October 1, 2026, gaining 4.31 percent from the KES 510.00 previous close. The move came as the company entered the market's latest reporting cycle with unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Half-year results set the agenda
According to KenyaStocks, an NSE announcement dated August 31, 2026 covered Limuru Tea's unaudited results for the first six months of 2026. The reporting period is the latest company-specific financial checkpoint identified for the stock.
The market response was measured in absolute terms but substantial for a thinly traded share. The October 1 session saw 144 shares change hands, while the previous close was KES 510.00, giving the price a KES 22.00 daily increase.
Revenue comparison remains central
Stock Analysis reports fiscal 2025 revenue of KES 131.01 million, down 9.02 percent from KES 144.00 million in fiscal 2024. The same source reports a fiscal 2025 loss of KES 52.51 million, making profitability the key counterweight to the recent share-price gain.
That revenue comparison puts the latest market move in perspective. A higher share price does not erase the weaker annual top line, while the June 2026 interim period gives investors a newer basis for judging production, selling conditions and cost control.
Stock remains near yearly high
Limuru Tea's KES 532.00 closing price on October 1, 2026 stood 3.27 percent below the 52-week high of KES 550.00 and 56.34 percent above the 52-week low of KES 339.50. The range shows that the stock was trading near the upper end of its yearly band despite the company's historical revenue decline.
The company grows green leaf tea on a 282-hectare estate in Limuru, Kenya, and sells the leaf for processing and export. Stock Analysis identifies Limuru Tea as an agricultural business listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, with the ticker LIMT.
