@donedeal. After split it's KSh 0.30.

Ecs 11.2 Give portions to seven,yes to eight,for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.

@donedeal. I hope u see the invalidity though EB,as Ecstacy rightly points out,is not just about dividends.

Let's see the 1st Q results to see if the company is doing well in these hard times. I know people in the banking industry and I expect that a lot of them will post reductions in profit from last year.

Some people are beating up EB for all the wrong reasons. A company doesn't have feelings - if its good over the long term its results will be obvious. I'm sure that nobody would invest solely for sentimental reasons! You're here to make money,get rich and drive off with the beautiful woman.

So let's get feelings/emotions out of this. Let's work with facts and figures. Based on my analysis of this bank I'm staying with it for atleast 5 years - I'm waiting until we get to South Africa and list on the JSE then maybe by then I will bail out after making a tidy profit. And I'm all in as long as the facts and figures continue to make sense.

@ecstacy & Jerry

The primary objective,key word being primary,when you invest in a company whether listed or otherwise must most certainly be the yield one gets from the investment which is what we refer to as dividend. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective. If ecstacy & jerry invested in a Co. where they had equal shareholding,their PRIMARY objective would be the yield they would earn from this investment. I would choose to think that the Capital appreciation is a function of dividend and not the reverse making it the secondary objective but I suppose the equity 'Ponzi modo' works differently.

Be-as-it-may,the elephant in the room still is; for how long can one prop up this share?.



May we live in interesting times!

@Donedeal; explain clearly how a share price is 'propped up' and how the 'propper' benefits from that action.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

@donedeal,U've already been answered by Eli & Mukiha and I need not add more. However,I used to have similar perspective to investing just like u until I saw the light! I'm better off in NSE. If u talk of a co. which is unlisted then we can discuss.

some guys had this stock and did not dispose when the price was over 300. The wish if for it to get to those levels if it ever will.

Your guess is as good as mine. Ask yourself what fundamentals are contributing to the rise of this share? Apart from the hype,what is so unique about this 'EB modo'? KCB is in TZ (8 branches),Southern Sudan (4 branches),UG (5 branches?),Rwanda and Burundi one branch each,yet it does&rsquo;t generate the sort of interest EB does. Is investment in the stock just about perception?

spectaculary,the share seems to be on the downward trend this morning after hitting a high of 14/5. seems investors were waiting for either that price,or the last trading day the week to offload the share since the supply is as twice (2m) as the demand.

I don't know much about their books. I just follow their customer complaints for me to know exactly where they will be in 2 years......So far,I wouldn't touch it....My principle is only to buy companies whose product is impressive. Customer complaints and down ATM's is not a sign of a good product or longevity.

@mukiha,does this help?
A scheme that attempts to boost the price of a stock through recommendations based on false,misleading or greatly exaggerated statements. The perpetrators of this scheme,who already have an established position in the company's stock,sell their positions after the hype has led to a higher share price.

Kindly look at this:

http://www.grameen-info....mp;id=26&Itemid=175

Now,please compare with this:

http://www.equitybank.co.ke/about.php?subcat=8

Notice anything in common?

I do not want promote equity bank in any manner,truth be told I beleive they have a long way to go.

If I were to invest in its shares as just another bank,I beleive I can do better,however if you are investing in a bank based on a microfinance model with exceptional growth then this counter makes sense. Therefore comparison with KCB does not make any sense unless their target market is the same.

More so then the income I would be looking at new accounts opened and deposit growth for equity bank come 1st qtr results to know if it still targeting its same low income customers for its growth.
