East African Breweries Plc (EABL) has raised dividend for the third consecutive year after net profit for the trading period ended June 2025 grew by 12.2 percent to Sh12.19 billion on the back of increased sales, foreign exchange gains and lower finance costs.

The firm’s financial results published early Thursday showed net profit rose from the Sh10.87 billion booked in the prior year, helping the board to propose a final dividend of Sh5.50 per share.
