Safaricom raises dividend 67pc as profit hits Sh99.7bn
Safaricom Group CEO Peter Ndegwa speaks during the half-year results announcement, for the financial year 2025/2026, at Safaricom's headquarters in Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya on November 6, 2025.
Safaricom Plc has raised its total dividend by 66.7 percent to Sh2 per share for the year ended March 31, 2026 after posting a 67.3 percent rise in net profit to Sh99.7 billion, driven by strong M-Pesa growth in Kenya and sharply reduced losses in Ethiopia.
The proposed payout comprises a final dividend of Sh1.15 per share, adding to the interim dividend of Sh0.85 paid earlier this year. Total shareholder payouts for the period stand at Sh80 billion.
