Nedbank Group reported headline earnings of R8.4 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2026, outperforming internal expectations set at the beginning of the year behind strong underlying operational growth. When excluding the ETI base effect, diluted headline earnings per share (DHEPS) growth was very strong at 15%, reflecting a strong underlying operational performance. “In 2025, we took bold steps to become more client-centred, unlock growth and diversify earnings,” said Jason Quinn, Nedbank Chief Executive. Advances grew by 21%, while NIR increased by 12% on the back of strong client activity and higher commission and fee income.
