At Half year Equity PAT was 4,737 million whereas KCB's was 4,068 million. Safaricom half year earnings were 4,013 million. This is a moot question, Equity Bank and KCB are already making more profit than Safaricom as we debate.

EB!!!

With interest rate of 25%, they'll earn good from interest income.

No single company in th region wil replace safcom as th most profitable co in th forseeable future. If u luk at its financial stmts, its income streams r stil stable n its only th expences which hv rocketed, tis cn b easily sorted out, th top line is stil intact!!

Good assumption, but if the market is not able to pay 25%, NPLs will increase which will hammer banking P&Ls into shapes we last saw late 90's

Safaricom's Sh20.97 billion profit record for 2009 will remain intact in the foreseeable future.

Over time, one of the of the sin vendors like banks or EABL will be more (or most) profitable but the record will remain Safaricom's for while.

Quoting bdafica:

Mr Tiffin said that Safaricom will reduce its capital expenditure by 25 per cent in the second half.

Where will that put the profits...

Half year results may not truly reflect the company's performance since many incomes and expenses earned and incurred during the half year period may be postponed to full year results.

it begs another question, has suffering con made enough capex investment to keep it going for the near future. if indeed yes the oppourtunity lies in getting efficiencies from those spends (eg earning more from the fibre) and maintaining a flat cost base while earning something more in interest from the surplus cash.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
