Tunisian listed companies achieved a 4.2% revenue increase in the first half of 2026, reaching 12.7 billion dinars compared to 12.2 billion dinars in the same period of 2025. This growth was primarily fueled by the financial sector, which saw a 6% revenue increase. Banks collectively reported a 4.9% rise in net banking income, with Amen Bank, BTE, and Wifack International Bank showing significant gains. Insurance companies also performed well, with premiums up 9.8%, largely due to BH Assurance's strong performance.

The consumer goods sector presented a more varied picture. Agro-food conglomerates like Poulina Group Holding, Dรฉlice Holding, and SFBT experienced a 5.9% revenue increase. However, the automotive sector struggled, with four listed car dealerships reporting a 5.5% drop in turnover. In contrast, consumer services, represented by Monoprix and Magasin Gรฉnรฉral, saw a healthy 7.4% rise in revenue.

The healthcare sector experienced a 5.6% decline, with Unimed being the only company to report results. The report, published by the Tunis Stock Exchange, also noted that only 27% of listed companies had released their second-quarter results by July 20, 2026. Four companies, AETECH, TUNISAIR, SIPHAT, and UADH, had not yet published their figures by the report's publication date.
