Barita posts strong quarter as investment gains surge, costs spike

Barita Investments Ltd reported net profit of $1.17 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, nearly double the $628 million earned in the same period a year earlier, reflecting a rebound in investment gains and higher interest income.
It's also the first set of results since Dr Marlene Street Forrest, the former Jamaica Stock Exchange managing director, joined the Barita board in February.
