Equity Group Holdings (ISIN KE0000000554) was priced at KES 105.25 on the Nairobi Securities Exchange on October 5, 2026, down 0.24 percent from KES 105.50. The share price report comes as the bank's latest half-year figures continue to shape the investment case.

H1 profit reached KES 45.5 billion

According to Billionaires.Africa on October 1, 2026, Equity Group reported that profit after tax for the six months ended June 2026 rose 32 percent to KES 45.5 billion from KES 34.6 billion in H1 2025. Profit before tax increased 39 percent to KES 57.8 billion from KES 41.6 billion.

The same H1 2026 figures showed customer deposits rising 21 percent to KES 1.59 trillion, while total assets reached KES 2.16 trillion. Regional subsidiaries supplied 42 percent of banking profit after tax and held 52 percent of banking assets, making geographic diversification a central measure of the group's earnings quality.

Analyst value moved above the share price

According to Simply Wall St on October 2, 2026, the updated analyst fair value increased from KES 104.59 to KES 126.78. The new estimate is 20.5 percent above the October 5 share price of KES 105.25.

The valuation update was tied to projected revenue growth of 20.73 percent, compared with 19.66 percent previously, and a net profit margin assumption of 34.32 percent, compared with 25.57 percent. Those figures describe the assumptions behind the valuation rather than reported H1 results.

Stock remains below the yearly high

On October 5, 2026, Equity Group had a market capitalization of KES 397.2 billion and traded 116,635 shares. Its 52-week range was KES 58.00 to KES 108.00, leaving the share price 2.55 percent below the reported high.

For investors, the key comparison is between the 32 percent H1 profit increase and the share price position near the upper end of its yearly range. The earnings figures provide the operating backdrop, while the KES 126.78 valuation estimate gives the market a separate benchmark for assessing whether that growth is reflected in the price.
