Airtel Africa reported a 136% year-on-year jump in profit after tax to $586 million for the first nine months of FY26, driven by revenue growth and currency movements. Revenue rose 24.6% on a constant currency basis to $4.66 billion, and 23.8% on a reported basis, helped in part by currency appreciation in Nigeria.

The company said the performance reflects its ongoing strategy and a steadier macro environment in its markets. Management pointed to solid underlying industry demand and more stable conditions as key supports for the latest numbers.
