The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) closed Week 46 (7–14 November 2025) mixed, with notable gains among select counters even as the broader market indices continued to weaken.

Top Movers

Uchumi Supermarket led the week’s gainers, surging 34.8 percent to Sh0.79, followed by Kenya Orchards at 26.3 percent.

Eveready East Africa and Sameer Africa also posted strong weekly gains of 8.8 percent and 6.5 percent, respectively.

On the losing end, Flame Tree Group plunged 16.7 percent, while Centum Investment shed 7.3 percent .

Uchumi’s strong weekly performance contrasts sharply with its –34.4 percent year-to-date return, highlighting the volatility around the retailer.

Market Performance

The NSE All Share Index slipped 2.20 percent in Week 46, while the NSE 20 and NSE 25 declined 3.20 percent and 2.93 percent, respectively. Market capitalization dropped 2.21 percent to Sh1.92 trillion.

Equity turnover rose to Sh4.61 billion, with foreign investors accounting for 33.3 percent of trading activity. Foreigners remained net sellers, offloading Sh387.4 million worth of Kenyan equities.

Corporate Actions

Several key corporates are scheduled for book closures and dividend payments over the coming weeks. Notable actions include,

KCB Group – Q3 results release (19 November 2025)

Stanbic – Final dividend books closure (27 November 2025)

Safaricom – Interim dividend books closure (28 November 2025)

Domestic Debt & Yields

The Treasury continued to enjoy strong investor appetite, accepting Sh30.99 billion against bids worth Sh37.64 billion at an average performance rate of 99.77 percent .

Yields on short-term government securities edged higher, with the 91-day and 182-day bills closing at 15.73 percent and 17.99 percent, respectively.

Eurobond Market

Kenya’s Eurobond yields eased across most maturities, with the 2028 and 2032 papers recording weekly yield declines of –22 bps and –50 bps, signaling improved investor sentiment.
