The clearest signal from trading on Thursday, June 25, 2026 came from Safaricom Plc. SCOM rose 2.5% to 33.5 KES and generated 548.4 million KES in traded value, by far the heaviest flow on the board. That move came on the same day Safaricom released its audited results for the year ended March 31, 2026, according to official Nairobi Securities Exchange announcements, and it stood out sharply against a 4.41% drop in the NSE 25 to 6101.67.
For investors checking the safaricom share price today, the key point is not just the one-day gain. It is the combination of a 3.2% rise over the last 5 sessions, relative resilience in a volatile market, and a valuation profile that remains easy to frame with a P/E of 19.3 and a dividend yield of 4.48%. In a Kenyan market dealing with rotation out of some financial names and a USD/KES rate of 129.48, up 0.80%, Safaricom is reasserting its role as the market’s anchor stock.
