Rights or no rights I would be more worried about the management skils that the bank has to provide the confidence that is needed to gurantee growth...if this is lacking then the share price could as well go to 3.00 as once was once upon a time.

Possible for it to break below the 30/- handle as the rights is digested even with super results!



@hisah, With Msc getting one year extension and Nbk calling for rights,only Kk and Kq remain on the laggards list.

The list now has KPLC, KQ and KK. I'm now scoping TPSE and TCL. I've got an eye too on KEGN if the price breaks below 10 and lower.

For 2014 I've picked WTK and NMG and still hold KQ (Q4 2013) and a small SCOM lot and CFC (the only long term play). I'm playing purely defensive until the eurobond issue becomes clear.


Hisah what is your take on kenya Re? I thought it would not been going down as it was much under valued?

KNRE is still undervalued compared to the likes of PAFR and CIC. I expect it to fair well despite the market mood. My concern with insurance is the weak consumer buying power shown by EABL and Uchumi H1 results. This means selling insurance this yr will be a tough call. Also most insurance firm get extra income from NSE which is hinting at a sell side yr. Those income streams will be crimped and will reflect on their books.

The requirement by the regulator on independent directors should minimize the influence of the big boys on the board...NSSF notwithstanding even with the conversion of their preferred shares, which is actually good news for the common stock holder.

My view on this stock is that its a good one to watch. if you consider that the bank has: overhauled its top management,Rebranded
Upgraded almost all systems-New core banking,Card system,Treasury system,Trade and currently working to overhaul its mobile banking platform.
Also currently on a downsizing program.
New investment in branches with an exotic touch, plans to increase branch network in strategic points.
Has recently invested in Islamic banking which seems to be growing its loan book
Poached guys from the big boys in the industry and have developed a modern structured bank with a serious Corporate, Retail and Treasury arms.

All this is indicative of the direction the bank wishes to take the difference is whether they hit the upward trend. I believe if management works to achieve this, then value for shareholders is guaranteed.

Keep watching!!! you might just find the right time for entry

@Hisah. Karibu sana TPS EA, its a non topic nowdays... That bad. its day is coming soon ive seen signs of share price recovery.
For Kengen, im also, it think the discount wont last long. might kick upwards before rights announced. everyday i see it at 11.00 its calling me. I find it hard to resist undervalued counters!

@vastcapital. RIGHT on. Let the rights/preference shares come in and dilute the share to the lowest low imaginable. Then we can buy this trasforming company. it will be a favour to get a recovering company at a hyperdiluted and possibly not far above NAV.
So. dilution and rights do your thing. we'll come in later when people are crying. Cde of course wont cry

Most parastatals have accounts with NBK.
