The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), established in 1954 as Nairobi Stock Exchange, is the leading stock exchange in East Africa offering world class trading facilities for both its local and foreign investors looking to gain exposure to the country's rising economy. The bourse is based in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya - one of the fastest-growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The NSE operates under the jurisdiction of the Capital Markets Authority of Kenya, and is governed by an 11-member board of directors. In 2014, consequent to its successful IPO to raise Ksh 627 million, the NSE demutualized and became listed on the main board of its own exchange.

In 2008, in order to provide investors with a comprehensive measure of the performance of the market, the NSE launched the NSE All-Share Index (NASI). The NASI is a market capitalization-weighted index (base value of 100 as of January 2008) comprising all listed securities, effectively, the benchmark index for the Kenyan stock market. In 2011, together with FTSE International, the NSE introduced the FTSE NSE Kenya 15 and FTSE NSE Kenya 25 indices which are designed for the creation of index tracking funds and derivative products, and as performance benchmarks while ensuring their investability. The NSE 25 Share Index measures the top 25 companies.

The NSE maintains four market listing categories, namely, the Main Investment Market Segment, Alternate Investment Market Segment, Fixed Income Securities Market Segment, and Growth Enterprises Market Segment. The first three were created in 2001 to cater for stocks of large and medium-sized companies, and corporate and government bonds. In 2013, the Growth segment was launched to give small enterprises an opportunity to also access the capital markets.

    Hello fellow investment enthusiasts!

    I'm Sam, a retired financial analyst. I worked for over a decade before retiring. I took this step after my investment income surpassed my monthly expenses 2 years ago (financial freedom!).

    I'm also new here and have been reading your comments. I think it's very encouraging to see so many people interested in investing in our local stock markets.

    For those new to investing (and even some of the more experienced investors!) don't forget to address other aspects of your personal finances as well. Then learn the various investment avenues that exist so you can select the ones that fit your financial goals as closely as possible.

    I created a new YouTube channel (@Quest2Invest) where I address all this. So far I cover the 3 things you need to do in your journey to wealth:
    1. Manage your income
    2. Save, and
    3. Invest

    I've also reviewed some of the main investment avenues that exist out there:
    -Bonds
    -Stocks
    -ETFs & index funds
    -Money market funds, mutual funds & unit trusts
    -Savings & fixed deposit accounts
    -Gold & other precious metals
    -Real estate
    -Forex, and
    -Crypto

    I have more investment topics I plan to address soon, including sharing the story of my early retirement as a financial analyst and my journey to discover a sustainable trading strategy to maximise profits in the NSE.

    Please check out my YT channel (@Quest2Invest) so we can connect and share ideas as we grow together in our goals of achieving financial freedom.

    Happy investing!

    What is the best stock to purchase at this point in time taking into consideration we are approaching a campaign period and at the same the government being not stable in most areas of its operations.

      Hey Mwandawiro. Choosing a specific stock can be tricky so follow Warren Buffett's advice of circle of competence. Which sector are you most familiar with? Conduct some research on the companies there and consider investing in those whose fundamentals appeal to you. But if you're new to investing, you may want to focus on other aspects of Personal Finance and understand the pros and cons of each investment vehicle. I unpack all this in my brand new YouTube channel: @Quest2Invest. Please check it out and, if you like what you hear, consider subscribing to support my initiative. All the best!

    Someone challenge my logic here
    WTK is set to announce its FY results today (Current stock price is ~206). Five days ago, it issued a profit warning, stating a strong shilling as one of its challenges. There are rumours that the CBK is artificially propping up the KES against the USD. GBP and EUR are in free fall and more closely reflect our current economic status.
    Almost a year ago to date, JUNE 24, the stock price was ~284. At this point, it had been nearly 5 months since the CBK intervened to stop the dollar's free fall. Dollar steadily fell from ~160 to ~129 within the 5 months

    Isn't it a possibility that when the CBK decides to let the market free fall, then WTK will regain profitability and, in turn, an increase in stock price.

    I'm an amateur trader, input/opinions from anyone will be appreciated

    1. SamSam
      Jul 15, 2025 09:18 GMT

      Hey Mark, great analysis here. My suggestion is to dive more closely into the company's P&L to interrogate its FX gains and losses. Currency-related changes in its profitability will be reflected under this P&L line item. Then check its balance sheet for foreign currency debt items as well. But I think its export is the largest consideration in this case. Finally, don't assume that the CBK will stop propping up KES against USD. Since many of the country's key imports are driven by USD, e.g. fuel and fertilizer, it's unlikely that the government will stop its USD control measures. However, since the impact of the past FX movements have already been reflected in the company's results, you can ignore this aspect for now and assess other areas of its operations. If you like my way of reasoning, check out my new YouTube channel where I plan to discuss such topics in future - @Quest2Invest. Thanks in advance and all the best!

    KENRE promises an upward trajectory in the long run. There have been plans to enter the Indian, Tanzanian market. The corporation already courted the South American market after receiving its first portfolio and hope the shares will increase in price over time.
    Put in mind that the dividends were declared but awaiting approval for payment.

    The Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio can provide insights into a company's valuation. Here's how:
    ✅ When the P/B ratio is less than 1, it may suggest that the company is undervalued (market price is below its book value).
    ✅ A P/B ratio greater than 1 could indicate that the company is overvalued (market price exceeds its book value).
    ✅ A P/B ratio of 1 typically signifies a fair valuation (market price is equal to the book value).
    Note: The P/B ratio should not be used in isolation. Other factors should also be considered for a comprehensive assessment. Ensure you conduct a thorough analysis before making any investment decisions.
