Nairobi Business Ventures PLC (NBV) reported an 11% decline in profit after tax for the year ended March 31, 2025, falling to KSh 32.2 million. This drop was largely due to an 88% collapse in its standalone trading arm, despite growth in its aviation and automotive divisions.

• Group revenue plummeted by 37% to KSh 508.0 million, primarily driven by the trading division's revenue shrinking by almost 90% to KSh 48.9 million.
• NBV, initially a shoe retailer, transformed into a diversified holding company after a 2020 investment by Dubai-based Delta International FZE, acquiring Delta Auto, Air Direct, and AMSL.
• While the aviation division saw revenue surge by 79% and the automotive division maintained its contribution, the trading arm's significant decline resulted in a standalone loss of KSh 4.4 million.

Home Afrika Limited reported a 14.6% profit increase to KSh 192.4 million for the first half of 2025, building on its turnaround in 2024. This growth was driven by higher revenues, reduced operating costs, and successful debt restructuring.

• Profit after tax rose to KSh 192.4 million in H1 2025, from KSh 167.8 million in H1 2024.
• Home Afrika Limited, a listed real estate developer, was the organization involved.
• Revenue increased by 16.2% to KSh 359.4 million, significantly boosted by the completion and utilization of the Migaa Golf Course.

Limuru Tea PLC reported a significantly wider net loss of KShs 22.2 million for the first half of 2025, a sharp increase from a KShs 6.8 million loss in the same period last year, primarily due to escalating labour costs despite modest revenue growth.

• The net loss widened to KShs 22.2 million, translating to earnings per share of KShs -9.25.
• Limuru Tea PLC, a listed agricultural company, cited rising labour and production costs as key factors.
• Turnover increased by 8% to KShs 56.8 million, and tea volumes rose by 5% to 433 tons, but these gains were overshadowed by operational cost pressures.
