STAR stock (ISIN TN0006060016) was last at TND 90.800 on the Tunis Stock Exchange on September 30, 2026, after the insurer reported first-half net profit of TND 28.1 million. The result for the six months ended June 30, 2026, rose 31.9 percent from TND 21.3 million a year earlier, according to Leconomiste Maghrebin on September 19, 2026.

Profit rises 31.9 percent

The result gives STAR a clear earnings anchor for the current market story. Adjusted earnings per share reached TND 2.812 for the first half of 2026, while the comparable 2025 figure would have been TND 2.133 after adjusting for the capital operations, the company reported through the same financial disclosure.

The comparison matters because STAR split its nominal share value from TND 10 to TND 5 and later increased capital through the incorporation of reserves. The current capital consists of 10,000,003 shares with a nominal value of TND 5 each, according to Leconomiste Maghrebin.

Premiums and assets expand

Earned premiums increased 10.98 percent year over year to TND 244.9 million in the first half of 2026, compared with TND 220.7 million in the first half of 2025. Net investment income rose 12.98 percent to TND 72.6 million from TND 64.2 million, according to Insurance Review on September 21, 2026.

The balance sheet also expanded. Total assets reached TND 1,775 million on June 30, 2026, up 7.29 percent from TND 1,654 million a year earlier, while shareholders' equity rose to TND 478 million from TND 431.6 million. The non-life technical result climbed to TND 4.9 million from TND 0.9 million, but the life technical result fell 18.3 percent to TND 9.5 million, Insurance Review reported.

STAR stock stays below yearly high

The market valuation leaves room between the latest quotation and the yearly peak. STAR stock stood at TND 90.800 on September 30, 2026, against a 52-week high of TND 99.390 and a 52-week low of TND 52.750. Its market capitalization was TND 908.0 million, and the share had gained 42.2 percent since the start of 2026.

For investors, the central tension is visible in the operating mix: non-life profitability improved sharply, while the life segment remained a counterweight. STAR also continued work on a specialized life-insurance subsidiary during the first half of 2026, linking the earnings release to a structural expansion of its product platform.
