NZX listed investment company Kingfish Limited (NZX: KFL) has reported a first half profit (for the six months ended 30 September 2025) of $16.4m.

Key elements of the half year result include profits on investments of $14.1m, plus dividend and interest income of $5.9m, less operating expenses and tax of $3.6m.

Chair of Kingfish, Andy Coupe said: “The New Zealand economy continues to endure difficulties, with activity across many sectors reduced from the levels of previous years. More recently we've seen this decline plateau, with some isolated 'green shoots' and a continued shift to more stimulatory interest rate settings. Against this backdrop Kingfish has delivered positive returns, albeit disappointing returns, to shareholders over the six months ended 30 September 2025.”
