NBL stock (ISIN TN0007150012) continued to struggle on the Tunis Stock Exchange, with the shares quoted at TND3.440 as of August 28, 2026, and posting a fresh daily decline in a difficult year for the name.
Price slide and performance signal
Per recent market data for the Tunis exchange as of August 28, 2026, NBL is listed in the household and personal care sector with a last traded price of TND3.440 and a day change of -1.43%, signaling renewed selling pressure at month end. The same overview shows the stock's 2025 close at TND4.050, implying that NBL has lost TND0.610 per share since the prior year-end, a drop of 15.1% year to date.
The performance column in that market snapshot highlights a one-year decline of 24.2% for NBL, underscoring how the shares have lagged over a full 12-month window compared with their level in late 2025. Volatility over the same period is flagged at 29.9, and the stock carries an internal score of 32.5, indicating that investors are facing both pronounced price swings and persistent downside momentum.
Fundamentals and recent reporting context
While the market overview focuses on trading metrics, NBL is categorized as a company in the household and personal care segment, suggesting exposure to consumer demand for personal care products in Tunisia. Investors typically look for stability in revenue and margins in this type of business, but with the shares down 15.1% since the 2025 close and 24.2% over one year, the market appears to be pricing in either slower growth or operational challenges relative to previous expectations.
In the broader regional context, currency data for Tunisian dinar pairs show that 1 Kuwaiti dinar equals 9.5065 Tunisian dinars as of August 29, 2026, with banks quoting purchase rates at 9.3830 and sale rates at 9.5800, while 1 Qatari riyal trades at purchase and sale levels of 7.8990 and 8.0570 Tunisian dinars respectively on the same date. These exchange-rate readings underline the importance of cost management and import pricing for Tunisian consumer companies, as shifts in foreign currency costs can feed through to household and personal care product input prices.
Historically, Tunisian-listed issuers with similar sector exposure have needed to balance local demand trends with imported raw material costs, and the current combination of a TND3.440 share price, double-digit year-to-date losses, and elevated volatility suggests that NBL's equity story now hinges on whether management can stabilize margins and reignite top-line growth in coming reporting periods.
Household and personal care portfolio
NBL is presented in the Tunis exchange data as part of the household and personal care sector, which typically encompasses items such as skin-care products, body-care lines, and other personal hygiene offerings aimed at Tunisian consumers. Companies in this space often compete on brand strength, distribution reach into urban and regional retail channels, and the ability to innovate with new formulations that align with local preferences and price sensitivity.
For NBL, a representative product focus would naturally be a personal care line that can differentiate the brand in a crowded market, for example a targeted skin-care range positioned for Tunisian climate conditions and marketed through pharmacies and supermarkets. Such a portfolio can provide recurring revenue and support cash flows, but only if the company can maintain attractive shelf presence and manage input costs tied to imported ingredients and packaging, which in turn depend on the exchange-rate backdrop described earlier.
Shares under pressure on Tunis exchange
As of the latest trading snapshot on August 28, 2026, NBL stock trades at TND3.440 on the Tunis Stock Exchange against a 2025 close of TND4.050, leaving the shares down 15.1% year to date and 24.2% over the past year with volatility measured at 29.9. Those metrics frame a challenging period for investors, who now have to weigh whether the current price level offers sufficient compensation for the observed swings and the sector risks around consumer demand and currency-sensitive input costs.

Representative NBL personal care product

These products typically emphasize qualities such as gentle formulations, locally relevant scents, and affordability, and they are distributed through supermarkets, pharmacies, and neighborhood stores where Tunisian consumers make frequent purchases.
NBL stock level and investor takeaway
At a share price of TND3.440 as of August 28, 2026, compared with a 2025 close of TND4.050 and one-year performance of -24.2%, NBL stock currently trades below its prior-year reference level with elevated volatility, making disciplined risk management and close attention to forthcoming earnings reports important for investors assessing the Tunis-listed household and personal care name.
