Co-operative Bank of Kenya (ISIN KE1000001568) was last at KES 37.30 on the Nairobi Securities Exchange on October 7, 2026. The price stood below the 52-week high of KES 38.95 and above the 52-week low of KES 19.70, leaving the bank's market story tied to both earnings growth and valuation discipline.

Profit reached KES 18 billion

According to The Standard on September 11, 2026, Co-operative Bank posted H1 2026 net profit of KES 18 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026. That was a 28 percent increase from KES 14.1 billion a year earlier, making the profit comparison the clearest fundamental driver for the stock.

The same report described the result as the bank's strongest-ever half-year performance. The figure is material because it gives the October price a fresh earnings reference rather than relying only on the daily quote.

Credit quality improved

According to Khusoko on September 21, 2026, Co-operative Bank's H1 2026 non-performing-loan ratio was 14.2 percent, down from 17.3 percent in H1 2025, a 3.1 percentage-point improvement. The bank's core earnings per share grew 28 percent, net interest income increased 13 percent and return on average equity reached 20.6 percent.

Those figures point to a two-sided investor picture. Earnings and asset quality improved together, while the 14.2 percent non-performing-loan ratio remained a relevant risk measure for future credit costs.

One analyst sees KES 42.97

TradingView lists one analyst rating for Co-operative Bank as Neutral and shows a KES 42.97 forecast target. Its published high and low estimates are both KES 42.97, placing the target 15.2 percent above the October 7 price of KES 37.30.

TradingView also lists November 12, 2026 as the next earnings date. That checkpoint matters because the next report can test whether the 28 percent profit growth and the 3.1 percentage-point improvement in asset quality are continuing.

COOP stock stays near its yearly high
