Top of class performance from Diamond Trust in today. What with EPS already exceeding full year last year by 100% in only 9 months? And so quiet, no fuss, one line explaining good fortunes are due to non-interest income rise...

The third quarter earnings per share up from 4.96 to 10.83.Bond trading assisted.

Top notch performance. I was afraid that they just could not replicate the powerful Q2 results!

in other words Q3 is up 118% compared to last year's Q3.
I will not sell bellow 180 after bonus next year.

The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

good results, however take note of where the growth is coming from, the made 1 billion from other income (trading in bonds) prices of bonds go up when interest rates go down. I don't expect interest rates to go down any further so this growth in other incomes won't happen next year

@wangugi - But if they can pocket [cash in] the 'supernormal' profits this year then they go in stronger next year with a stronger capital base. Also the 'cash' from Bonds can be on-lent next year...

@vituvingi, I agree with you but guys should not over celebrate the 100% + growth, DTB is not very aggressive in their core business, interest income grew by only 13.5% actually if you remove the 1 b they made from bonds profits will remain flat if not decline

@wangugi the other income that they have been getting from bonds may not be great but lets now think about the over 20 new branches they are opening... these are definitely bound to affect their bottom line next year...

I'm now seriously looking at this company VERY closely though I'm not sure if I should buy since I'm already big into my sweetheart Jubilee

I think no one is factoring in last months 10 year bond, which has seen interest rates rise...

I have had a closer look at the results and I have to agree with you. But I would only agree with you to the extent that when the effect of bond trading wears out, growth will decelerate but will not vanish. As g267 says, the additional branches will net in more customers bringing in additional transaction income.

Also note that the loan book grew by almost 30% and is expected to continue growing.

Hence the current relatively low PE ratio of 8.72 more than takes into account any reduction in PAT growth in 2011.

I have some DTB as well as Jubilee. My portfolio is skewed in favour of Jubilee which I prefer due to its divere range of businesses and assets. I will continue to hold DTB but I am inclined to add on to Jubilee rather than DTB. Let's see what the market makes of the results.

Branches take time to pay off, so expect a PAT decline next year. However the stock is good long term buy

Do not overpay... even for the BEST companies!!!

If you overpay then cry about how the 'stock' is not performing... upuzi!

@Wangugi, Your conclusion that the PAT will decline next year because of the drop off in bond trading income, coupled with increased investment in new branches is rather simplistic.

Practically all the other "local" banks have been increasing their branches over the last few years. None of them have reported reduced profits on account of this fact alone.

Q3 2010 also shows that DTB grew its Net Interest Income (NII) by 40% vis-a-vis Q3 2009. If it continued with this run rate, by Q3 2011, the NII will have grown by another 1.38 Billion. If we assume everything else is held constant i.e. No income from bond trading but other operating income and expenditure items remain as they are (thus eliminating the assumed bond income of 1,052,362,000), DTB would increase the PBT figure by about 326 million.

Now we know that it is highly unlikely that other income would drop to zero. So as long as other banks will be growing, you can be sure that DTB will be there along with them. It will just not be growing profits as fast as it has done this year.

Besides, you will have to go way back - at least more than 6 years to the last time that DTB reported reduced profits.

Over to you.

And even on this point, the facts do not bear you out.

PBT Minus Other Income (assuming it's all bond trading profits) grew by 27%. We can hardly call that flat. After all, SCBK grew their PAT by 17% vis-a-vis Q3 2009. It's still trading on a forward PE of 12.75.
