Car & General Group shareholders are set to receive total dividends amounting to Ksh 274 million after the company posted a staggering 356% jump in net profit for the year ended December 2025.
The firm’s profit after tax surged to Ksh 2.4 billion, up from Ksh 526 million reported the previous year, driven by strong performance across its automotive and equipment divisions.
What Drove the Growth
The dramatic profit increase was largely attributed to robust sales in the motorcycle and three-wheeler segments, which remain popular across East Africa’s transport sector. The company also benefited from favorable foreign exchange movements and improved operational efficiency across its regional operations.
Car & General, which distributes brands including TVS motorcycles, Suzuki motorcycles, and Honda power equipment, has been expanding its footprint in Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. The regional diversification strategy appears to be paying off handsomely.
Dividend Breakdown
Shareholders will receive a final dividend alongside an interim payout, bringing the total distribution to Ksh 274 million. The company’s board approved the payout citing strong cash flow generation and confidence in the business outlook.
The dividend announcement makes C&G Group one of the best-performing counters on the Nairobi Securities Exchange this year. The stock has attracted renewed interest from institutional investors tracking companies with solid dividend yields.
Looking Ahead
Management has signaled plans to deepen its presence in the electric mobility space, with pilot programs for electric motorcycles already underway in Nairobi. The company is also exploring opportunities in agricultural mechanization, targeting smallholder farmers across the region.
With the East African consumer market continuing to grow and demand for affordable transport solutions rising, C&G Group appears well-positioned to maintain its growth trajectory into 2026.
