Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group) has announced an interim dividend of N1.30 per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 June 2026, following a record first-half financial performance.
The dividend reflects the quality of the Group’s earnings, improved cash generation and the Board’s confidence in the sustainability of NGX Group’s growth trajectory. It also preserves capacity for continued investment in technology, market development and strategic opportunities across the capital market value chain.
According to the figures, NGX Group recorded revenue of N17.60 billion in the first half of 2026, up 118 per cent from N8.08 billion in the corresponding period of 2025, while total income grew 96 per cent to N19.34 billion.
The performance was driven principally by increased market activity, with transaction fees rising by 169 per cent to N13.34 billion from N4.96 billion. Listing fees increased by 59 per cent to N2.38 billion, while technology income rose by 19 per cent to N447.86 million.
Operating profit increased by 155 per cent to N10.62 billion, compared with N4.16 billion in the corresponding period. This reflected strong operating leverage, as growth in income significantly outpaced the increase in operatingexpenses.
