Crown Paints Kenya has resumed paying dividends with a Sh3 per share distribution, after rebounding to a net profit of Sh544 million in the year ended December 2024 from a net loss of Sh29 million in 2023.
The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE)-listed paint maker attributed the return to profitability on higher revenue and a stable currency that saw the company avoid a repeat of 2023’s foreign exchange losses.
