NAIROBI, Kenya, May 11 – Stanbic Holdings has raised its dividend by 7.3 percent to Sh22.35 per share after posting a net profit of Sh13.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The payout is up from Sh20.83 per share issued the previous year, as the lender maintained profitability despite declining interest rates during the period.
Total assets grew 18.9 percent to Sh541.3 billion, while loans and advances to customers increased by 18.5 percent to Sh272.9 billion, reflecting rising private sector credit demand.

The bank’s non-performing loan ratio improved to 8 percent, lower than the industry average, indicating stronger asset quality during the year.
Stanbic also expanded its wealth management business, with assets under management rising to Sh5.3 billion from Sh2.45 billion in the previous year.
