NCBA Group's market valuation has soared past KSh 150 billion, reaching a record high due to a sharp rise in its share price. This surge is largely attributed to speculation regarding a potential acquisition by Stanbic Bank Kenya.

• NCBA's share price reached KSh 91.50 on Tuesday, its highest level since the NIC–CBA merger in 2019.
• The bank's market capitalization increased by approximately KSh 26 billion, making it Kenya's third-most valuable bank.
• The speculated acquisition by Stanbic Bank Kenya would create Kenya's third-largest lender by assets.
