It's a shame that we are not able to post tables on wazua [it used to be possible in SK days].
It's an even bigger shame to see supposedly knowledgeable people singing praises of KCB for "winning against EQT" with out giving comparative ratios...and as if there was a competition!
Still, here are some comparisons;
TOTAL ASSETS:--KCB=330b;--EQT=196b
NET ASSETS:---KCB=44b;---EQT=34b
OP. INCOME:---KCB=39b;---EQT=28b
PBT:----------KCB=15b;---EQT=13b
EPS:----------KCB=3.72;--EQT=2.79
MKT PRICE:----KCB=21;----EQT=19
Some quick ratios from the above:
OP MARGIN:----KCB=38.5%--EQT=46.4%
RoA:----------KCB=4.54%--EQT=6.63%
RoNA:---------KCB=34.1%--EQT=38.2%
P/E RATIO:----KCB=5.6----EQT=6.8
==================================
Now let's begin to discuss which bank has done better.....
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
