The Nairobi Securities Exchange recorded a 169.4% increase in equity turnover, reaching USD 11.1 million, driven largely by activity in Safaricom Group shares.

Safaricom was the most actively traded security, responsible for 67.3% of the day’s total turnover.

The telecom company’s share price rose 0.9% to close at KES 34.75, a gain supported mainly by foreign investors.

Foreign investors accounted for 54.9% of total market turnover, up from 40.9% in the previous session, but recorded net outflows of USD 3.4 million during the day.

Despite the net selling by foreigners, Safaricom led foreign selling activity, while East African Breweries Limited attracted the highest foreign buying interest.

Other notable movers included KCB Group, which gained 0.8% to KES 89.75, and Home Afrika, the top gainer at the lower end of the market with a 5.0% rise to KES 1.05.

Conversely, Kenya Pipeline Company fell 5.4% to KES 10.60, marking its lowest price since 26 October 2026.

Market indices showed mixed results: the N10 index edged up 0.1%, while the NSE 20 slipped 0.2%; the Nairobi All Share Index and NSE 25 remained unchanged.

Equity Group Holdings held steady at KES 99.25, and Standard Chartered Bank Kenya declined 0.3% to KES 301.75.

The session highlighted heightened market liquidity and a concentration of trading around Safaricom, even as foreign investors maintained a net selling stance amid varied index movements.
