Kenyan equities closed firmer on Monday, 15 June 2026, with the NSE 25 at 5,813.59, up 1.02%, but the most instructive story of the session came from annual earnings releases, especially Limuru Tea Plc. In a backdrop where agricultural commodities are moving higher — coffee rose 1.3% to $260.45 and cocoa gained 7.4% to $4,058 — the tea producer’s audited numbers are a reminder that stronger global pricing does not automatically translate into wider margins.
