The stock hit a high of 65.50 in April 2015. That is so volatile. How come equity has been less volatile, yet their profits and growth have been similar. Is it the impending rights issue causing jitters Equity is not far behind if that support also caves in, which I expect to happen then those holding brit will be singing in the rain come year end! For KCB I think that rights issue has spooked weak hands in the current bear. I also questioned why a rights issue now, which @VVS explained. But it's a confidence bashing moving and likely the reason it's bleeding more than EQTY. Correct. KCB's constant rights issues are a cause for concern. Why pay a decent cash div then after 3 years or so come back to the same people for the same cash? Mpesa and member have been stingy on that front until 2 years ago when they upped their div yield. Again, member and KCB are not competitors in the strict sense of that word. Member certainly doesnt operate in the same space as KCB though the latter is the largest bank by profitability ATM. Member competes with Safaricom and is known to be more innovative that the slow KCB as well as having a better return on Equity. These 2 (Mpesa and member) also have a captive audience and have the advantage of the too big to fail tag behind them. @SufficientlyP

Kcb was at 40.00 way before rights was even mentioned. So it dropped from 65 to 40.00. Equity only dropped from 50 to 38-40. During the same period. This is the less volatility I'm talking about.
