I did my own analysis of banks and realised Barclays is doing better than most of of the listed lenders;

Your research isn't conclusive:

1. BBK doesn't show a consistent superiority in the above indicators;
2. The indicators themselves don't give a reliable conclusion on any one issue e.g. profitability, quality of loan book or efficiency in use of equity/ assets;
3. Left out other lenders useful for comparison eg DTB; NIC; Stanbic; SCB;NBK


In fact in his 'analysis' EQB is identical to BBK

My research covered the health aspect of the Lenders.The motive was to know which are healthy and which are sick.From the above statics,Barclays is very much healthy.I was surprised its healthier than co-op.
The best comparison is with top three in profitabilty which i tried to link.
With an NPL of 8%,thats ver much commendable.

How would interest expense be a percentage



Their papers and wallet have been ok for the last few years but what i wonder is whats the deal with all this closing of branches, is it a sign of inability to get new customers, cost cutting to keep the balance sheets pretty, or some part of some moving to digital strategy...

Is it a good thing?




Based on my statistics,the reason is consolidation.They are trying to preserve their capital.They are no longer the market leaders they used to be and have accepted the reality.
They took a more conservative approach thats neither robust(like kcb and equity) nor a mean approach(like co-op).
Going forward,i see them stabilising slowly and buoyed by separation from the UK father,they will try to grow slowly.

BUT unlike some firms, BBK doesn't have net debt. Doesn't need a Rights Issue. Pays a healthy dividend. Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

ARM? Dead. Kabisa. No bailout. Nothing. Zero. Hapana.

Has it ever had recent capacity to lend to any serious Kenyan corporate.. What is their core capital? L:D ratio?

They recently approved a loan for 300 million shillings to choppies super market. I don't have any link to prove but it's a true fact came out of a senior manager in Barclays
