Although over 60 companies are listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), most investors struggle to track the companies' earnings calendars and key activities. This challenge stems from persistent underinvestment in Investor Relations (IR), which is often viewed as a minor, reactive function within Finance.
Consequently, market activity is concentrated in a few blue-chip stocks, such as Safaricom and banks like Equity, which account for over 70 percent of daily trade turnover, leaving many other listed firms invisible, illiquid, and unable to attract the global capital needed for NSE’s strategic growth.
