Frank Ireri finished the company I think he actually built the company. The rate cap is what has been the unraveling of HF Group

HF hurtling towards the 2002 lows...joining the leading pack composed of kplc, NMG amongst others. Quote:Mortgage lender HF Group’s stock has fallen to a 15-yearlow at the NSE as the slide into losses weighs down on investor sentiment.
The stock closed at Sh4.76 on Tuesday, joining the list of firms such as Mumias and Uchumi that are trading below par value at the bourse. Its par value is Sh5, with 384.6 million issued shares.
This is the lowest the stock has fallen since January 2003, with the bank’s market capitalisation now standing at Sh1.83 billion, having gone down by more than half from Sh4 billion at the beginning of the year when the share was valued at Sh10.40. The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/markets/marketnews/HF-cuts-prices-of-700-houses-by-a-third/3815534-5008922-r9nr7l/index.htmlThe tough economy saw Kenyans shun buying houses to concentrate on funding essential items such as purchase of food, catering for transport and paying school fees leaving them with a little to spare. The situation was worsened by introduction of interest rate caps that saw lenders freeze lending to individuals deemed risky as well as dump long-term lending. tough times for the diamond There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

There may be value for a mid-sized bank, looking to increase its book, buying HFCK but at a price that: - has a discount for the "good" Loan Book (Due Diligence) - has a discount for the collateral backing NPLs (Due Diligence) - has an allowance for restructuring the payroll - an allowance for re-training the staff - an allowance to install a new/updated banking system A sweetener to Britam (& other shareholders) may be a swap for shares rather than an outright purchase with clawbacks for any loans that are already provided for going to the "old" shareholders. The buyer needs a clean book/bank unless there is a massive discount to the current stated BV. I would like to see HF succeed even if as a part of another bank. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
