Nairobi Securities Exchange stock (ISIN KE3000009674) was trading at KES 26.05 on October 7, 2026 at 3:25 p.m. EAT, with the quote page showing a previous value of KES 26.55. The exchange's latest available half-year figures point to a sharply stronger earnings base in HY2026.

HY2026 profit reaches KES 736.87 million

According to Pergamon on September 24, 2026, NSE reported HY2026 profit before tax of KES 1,006.34 million, up 396.0 percent from KES 202.91 million in HY2025. Net profit rose 386.1 percent from KES 151.58 million to KES 736.87 million over the same comparison.

The earnings increase also lifted reported earnings per share to KES 2.82 in HY2026 from KES 0.58 in HY2025, a 386.2 percent rise. The source said the result reflected higher market transactions, new listings and acquisition activity, making transaction volumes the key operating variable for the exchange.

Analyst target remains above the quote

Pergamon issued a Buy recommendation on September 24, 2026 and set a target price of KES 35.50, according to its published stock recommendation. The report used a KES 29.85 reference price for its calculation and described the target as 18.9 percent higher than that reference level.

That assessment predates the October 7 quote, so the market price and the analyst target represent separate dated reference points. For investors, the central question is whether stronger transaction activity can continue after the first-half earnings jump and support the exchange's income through the remainder of 2026.

Exchange business supports the earnings case

A company profile from MyStocks identifies Nairobi Securities Exchange PLC as Kenya's primary stock exchange and describes its activities as a secondary market for equity and debt securities, together with clearing and settlement services.

That structure gives the company exposure to listings, trading activity and capital-markets transactions rather than to one individual listed issuer. The HY2026 comparison therefore matters because it shows how changes in market activity can flow through to profit and earnings per share.
