Sameer Africa Plc, a listed firm which retooled its business model from selling tyres to now letting out investment property, made a Net Profit of KSh 274.28m in 2025 from KSh 259.90 the previous year, an increase of 5.53%.

Revenues grew 11.1% from KSh 432.74m from KSh 389.48m in 2024, pushing up Gross Profit 11.4% to KSh 416.07m.

Sameer Africa Operating Profit leaped 47.7% to KSh 292.64m in 2025 from KSh 198.08m the prior year, the highest in more than a decade. The firm’s balance sheet size grew 13.1% to KSh 1.72m in 2025.
