Equity Bank Ltd., Kenya’s largest lender by customers, rose for a second day, headed for the highest in almost a month on speculation of increased first-half earnings.

The stock climbed as much as 2.3 percent to 22.25 shillings and traded at 22 shillings as of 1:21 p.m. in Nairobi. A close at that level would be the highest since June 22.
