The Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGXG.ng) has announced an interim dividend of N3.4 billion for the first half of its 2026 financial year, according to AfricanFinancials. The payout, which equates to N1.30 per share, follows a 170% increase in the group’s pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The dividend declaration was reported by multiple outlets, including Business News Nigeria and Tribune Online, which both confirmed the N1.30 per share figure. The strong earnings performance was driven by growth in the exchange’s core operations, though the specific revenue breakdown was not detailed in the available reports.
The results cover the second quarter and the first half of the 2026 fiscal year, as noted by marketscreener.com. In separate coverage, LEADERSHIP Newspapers reported that NGX Group Chairman Alhaji (Dr.) Umaru Kwairanga addressed the company’s performance, though the full content of his remarks was not included in the summary.
The interim dividend marks a significant increase from prior periods, reflecting the exchange’s improved profitability. Investors will now watch for the full-year 2026 results, due later in the year, to see if the momentum continues.
