Zimbabwe Stock Exchange Holdings Limited delivered a strong third-quarter performance centred on a significant expansion of its asset base, which climbed to ZWG$173,079,082 as at 30 September 2025.
This represents a sharp rise from ZWG$121,145,799 recorded during the same period in 2024, underscoring the group’s growing financial strength and resilient operating model.
In its Q3 2025 interim financial statement, the Group said the increase in total assets reflects “a solid capital base and sustained growth,” supported by heightened trading activity across its platforms and improving market confidence.
The balance-sheet expansion was accompanied by an increase in total equity, which rose to ZWG$95,757,712 from ZWG$89,092,301 last year.
The jump in assets coincided with strong earnings. Profit Before Tax surged to ZWG$18,948,051, more than doubling the ZWG$7,939,614 posted in Q3 2024. EBITDA also improved markedly, rising to ZWG$24,317,878 compared to ZWG$11,243,346 in the previous year. Total income for the quarter stood at ZWG$127,786,836, further supporting the group’s strengthened financial position.

ZSEHL’s asset-driven growth was reinforced by rising turnover on its exchanges. The Group reported that “trading value on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange surged by 144.40% to ZWG$1.97 billion,” although this activity remained concentrated, with “the top five performing companies accounting for 94.14% of total turnover.”
Trading on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange also accelerated, with value traded increasing by 106.27% to US$16.79 million.
Management attributed the expansion in assets and overall performance to a more predictable economic climate. The group said the quarter benefited from “a stable operating environment underpinned by tighter monetary policy and exchange rate stability,” which helped boost activity and market participation.
ZSEHL expects continued asset and income growth as it rolls out new products and strengthens its platforms. A major addition will be the Zimbabwe Entrepreneurship Exchange, set to launch in the first half of 2026.
The new SME-focused market is being developed with the Ministry of Finance and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe and is expected to deepen capital markets participation.
Despite the positive trajectory, the group cautioned that sustained growth in total assets will depend on continued economic stability and currency strength. Market concentration and regulatory shifts remain key risks to future performance.
However, with total assets now above ZWG$173 million and investor activity rising, ZSEHL enters the final quarter of the year with strong momentum and a reinforced financial foundation.
