Zenith Bank PLC’s market capitalization reached N4.52 trillion in the first half of 2026. This valuation marks a significant increase from the N2.54 trillion recorded at the end of 2025.
The bank reported a profit before tax of N360.92 billion for the first quarter of 2026. This figure represents a three percent growth compared to the same period in 2025.
Performance gains followed the successful implementation of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) recapitalization program. Zenith Bank also issued a total dividend of N12.76 per share for the 2025 financial year.
A broader rally across the banking sector, triggered by the CBN reforms, continues to drive investor appetite for the stock.
