HFCB Group reported first-half net profit of KES 1.2 billion, a 74.4 percent increase from a year earlier, according to Business Now on August 27, 2026. The report attributed the stronger result to higher income from government papers, highlighting the contribution of investment income to the Kenyan financial-services group.

Government paper income lifts profit

The earnings increase gives investors a clearer view of the group's first-half performance after a period of strategic repositioning. HFCB Group's result was driven not only by its core lending activities but also by returns from government securities, making the composition of income an important consideration for future periods.

The profit figure should be read alongside the group's changing corporate identity. The company's website states that HF Group, Housing Finance and HFC are now operating under the HFCB name, while the business continues to cover banking, mortgage finance, insurance and digital services.
