Kenya Airways stock trades unchanged at KES 5.78

Kenya Airways stock (ISIN KE0000000307) was last at KES 5.78 on the Nairobi Securities Exchange on October 7, 2026, with no daily change shown. Trading volume reached 396,000 shares on the same date, giving the counter a concrete liquidity reference for investors following the restructuring story.

H1 revenue rose 9.1 percent

The August 31, 2026 first-half results put revenue at KES 81.3 billion, up 9.1 percent from the first half of 2025, according to Simply Wall St.

The growth did not translate into profit. Kenya Airways posted a first-half loss of KES 16.1 billion, a 32 percent year-over-year widening, while loss per share reached KES 2.75 in the same period.

That combination matters because the airline is expanding revenue while still absorbing financing, fuel and restructuring pressure. Revenue growth therefore improves the operating base, but the loss figure keeps balance-sheet repair as the central condition for a durable turnaround.

Investor search remains central

Kenya Airways is pursuing a strategic investor as part of a broader effort to strengthen its finances. Synthetic Africa describes a government-backed search involving at least USD 1.5 billion of potential capital and a target for completion in December 2026.

The proposed funding would be material relative to the airline's KES 16.1 billion first-half loss, but the size of the requirement also shows why the investor process is more than a routine corporate milestone. The outcome could affect debt capacity, ownership structure and the pace at which the carrier can renew or expand its fleet.

Stock stays at KES 5.78
