DTB insider lending is quite interesting the chunk of it goes to directors,shareholders and associates while employees take a very small portion of it.This is a very selfish bank.

NONSENSE... Stop being malicious for no reason! DTBK is part of the Aga Khan Group [thus associates or related firms or majority shareholder] which do business [including loans] at MARKET [or close to] RATES... These same firms give DTBK lots of transactional business... Employees get low rates [as a perk] but there are limits to how much you want to lend to employees. If DTBK has to fire them, how will they repay the loans? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

No doubt about that. My contention is that even if Coop goes and makes 400 million like Equity did in 2010 that will only be about 10% of total profits which will not change its outlook materially. I like Coop, but in my view it has underperformed its peers - Equity and KCB, hence I would only buy it at comparable PEs - higher than KCB but lower than Equity Bank.

@VVS i agree with you that some of its associates bring good business but still looking at the amount they get in lending its quite huge given that most of the loans are subsidized. sometime last year BD africa listed DTB as one of the companies that pay its director huge salaries and looking at the insider loans I am convinced this Bank is Selfish.

The Annual Report may have more - when it is released. If I am not wrong, their bond portfolio has consistently remanied under 1B. 100% return from trades? "I'd rather be lucky than clever... every time!" - ME

Employees get salaries. Plus bonuses. Plus perks. Cheap loans are a perk but NOT a right!!! DTBK would be remiss [plus silly] to loan to employees 'excessive' amounts at a VERY LOW rate! As for 'associates'... they may get a discount but these siblings have grown up together! Look at Serena/TPSEA or Nation... Erm, as for salaries... actually you need to put numbers on the table vs performance! Please use Equity, Stanchart & BBK as comparisons... Greedy when others are fearful.

I have shares in DTB, so you can interpret my defence of the company any way you like. Management clarified that the amount cited by BDAfrica included compensation to key management figures hence the conclusion that Directors were being paid too much was pure hogwash. I am a keen follower of the Aga Khan companies and attend most of their AGMs and I can attest that their Directors' fees are some of the lowest on the market. In the case of Jubilee for example the Chairman does not even receive a fee!

Guru u were right about the bonus. Results have come out at a bad time. I think the share will hold. Whether i sell for capital gains or not and get the bonus. Win win. Mafans tuko hapa. You could not be more right that the results came out at a bad time. Je, wangerelease mapema kama Barclays? Maybe we would have seen a 160. I hope it stays above 100 after the bonus shares start trading. GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE

Best case scenario,middle east conflicts subside, fuel prices stabilize. that should be enough. Infact the lower it goes now, the sweater the deal for those who will be buying.

DTB has got 167 million shares, means bonus shares will be about 33 million. What if people start selling it @ 100/ bob ? I want to be a millionaire.

When the guru speaks WAZUA should listen... I'm happy about the results and the bonus but they should have given us a 1:4 or a 1:2 instead of a 1:5 bonus.. The statements show that this company is definitely a long term buy because its poised for super growth in the coming years. I only wish management would issue more bonus shares or improve the dividend yield. I'm exiting at 190 if it can get there Mark 12:29

@guru267, Are we expecting to see more branches following the bonus issue? The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

@qw, holding stock to benefit from dividend - bad financial decision. Stocks lose value by amount of dividend (or even more) when it goes ex stock ceteris paribus. It therefore makes no sense to hold for dividend as this option gets you 95% (less w/h tax). If you however offload cum div and buy back again ex div, you save on this 5% - also add trx costs to buy and sell.
