Kenya dividend yield: questions
What is dividend yield?
Dividend yield is the dividends paid over a year divided by the share price, shown as a percentage. Here it uses dividends with an ex-date in the last 12 months.
Which Kenya stock has the highest dividend yield?
British American Tobacco Kenya PLC (BAT) ranks first at 10.71%, followed by Standard Chartered Bank Kenya Ltd (9.91%), Williamson Tea Kenya Plc (9.43%).
Is a high dividend yield a good sign?
Not by itself. A yield can be high because the share price has fallen, or because a one-off special dividend was paid. Check the dividend history on each company page: steady or rising payments over several years say more than one year's yield.
How often is this ranking updated?
The ranking is rebuilt each time dividends or prices are updated in our database. It was last built on 14 October 2026.
Which companies are left out?
Companies with no dividend recorded in the last 12 months, or without a usable share price, do not appear. Companies whose latest record is more than two years old are also excluded.
