Barloworld Ltd. (ISIN ZAE000002065) traded at ZAR 87.50 on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on September 22, 2026, placing the share within its 52-week range of ZAR 68.00 to ZAR 96.00. The company enters the latest market session with first-half EBITDA of ZAR 2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up from ZAR 1.5 billion a year earlier.

EBITDA rises in first half

According to Barloworld in its investor-relations materials dated September 22, 2026, first-half EBITDA increased from ZAR 1.5 billion in 2025 to ZAR 2.4 billion in 2026. The year-on-year gain of ZAR 900 million is the clearest operating comparison in the current reporting picture.

The same six-month period produced headline earnings per share of ZAR 4.10, compared with ZAR 2.70 in the corresponding period of 2025. That increase gives the earnings recovery more weight than the absolute share price alone, because per-share profit improved at a faster pace than the stock has moved within its annual range.

Share price stays below yearly high

At ZAR 87.50 on September 22, 2026, Barloworld stock stood ZAR 8.50 below its 52-week high of ZAR 96.00 and ZAR 19.50 above its 52-week low of ZAR 68.00. The price therefore reflects a position below the annual peak while remaining materially above the low, a level that puts the earnings comparison at the center of the valuation discussion.

Trading volume was 1.24 million shares on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on September 22, 2026. The combination of a dated market price, a full-year trading range and the first-half EBITDA increase provides a more useful snapshot than a percentage move without operating context.

Barloworld stock remains earnings-led

Barloworld stock closed at ZAR 87.50 on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on September 22, 2026. The key measurable contrast is the ZAR 900 million increase in first-half EBITDA between 2025 and 2026, while the share remained below the ZAR 96.00 52-week high.
