Fidelity Bank H1 2026 Audited Results May Be Delayed
Fidelity Bank Plc has notified the Nigerian Exchange Limited and its shareholders of a potential delay in publishing its Audited Financial Statements for the half year ended June 30, 2026. The bank has received NGX approval to extend its filing deadline to September 30, 2026, pending regulatory sign-off from the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Fidelity Bank Plc disclosed on August 21, 2026 that it may not meet the standard NGX deadline for publishing its Audited Financial Statements (AFS) for the half year ended June 30, 2026. The bank stated that the audit process is currently being finalised. Once completed, the AFS will be submitted to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for approval before being published in line with the NGX Rulebook and other applicable regulations.
The Nigerian Exchange Limited has granted Fidelity Bank an extension to September 30, 2026, subject to the CBN granting its regulatory approval for the H1 2026 audited accounts.
In the same notice, the bank reminded its insiders and their connected persons that the trading window for dealing in Fidelity Bank shares is currently closed. The window will remain shut until 24 hours after the AFS for H1 2026 has been officially published. The notice was signed by Company Secretary Ezinwa Unuigboje and filed with the NGX on August 24, 2026.
