Letshego Africa Holdings expects its consolidated profit after tax to increase by between 20% and 30% for the six months ended 30 June 2026, pointing to a stronger first-half performance ahead of the release of its interim results next week.
The Botswana-listed financial services group said on Friday that profit after tax is expected to rise by between P36 million and P54 million from the P181 million recorded in the corresponding period last year.
This would put the group’s first-half profit at between P217 million and P235 million, based on the preliminary assessment.
Letshego said the expected improvement comes as the group continues to work through the proposed sale of certain subsidiaries in East and West Africa.
The subsidiaries remain classified as discontinued operations under IFRS 5, which covers non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Their results are still included in the group’s consolidated profit after tax.
