Kenyan Companies Announce Major Financial Results and Corporate Rebranding - November 2025

Kenya Airways (KQ) has issued a profit warning for the year ending December 31, 2025, anticipating a profit drop of at least 25 percent. The airline attributed this expected decline to grounded planes and a severe shortage of engine parts. In contrast, Centum Investment Company reported a 6.1 percent increase in after-tax profit to Sh472 million for the half-year ended September 30, 2025. This growth was primarily due to a 66 percent reduction in finance costs from debt repayments. In other corporate news, Sanlam Kenya has officially rebranded to Sanlam Allianz Holdings Kenya. This change follows a joint venture and comes as the Kenyan government is strengthening its insurance regulatory framework to rebuild trust in the sector.
