The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Group Plc has declared an interim dividend of N1.30 per ordinary share for the six months ended June 30, 2026, following a strong first-half financial performance driven by increased trading activity and higher investment income.
In a statement, the Group reported that revenue surged 118 per cent to N17.60 billion in the first half of 2026 from N8.08 billion in the corresponding period of 2025, while total income rose 96 per cent to N19.34 billion.
The strong performance was underpinned by a sharp increase in market activity, with transaction fee income jumping 169 per cent to N13.34 billion from N4.96 billion recorded a year earlier.
Listing fees also increased by 59 per cent to N2.38 billion, while technology income grew by 19 per cent to N447.86 million.
