Time to load more member shares I predict price to rise between 60-70 levels




This is a very good move from Equity.
Though It looks like rivalry with kcb.
Equity current loan book is kshs 297,226,915,000 billion,while kcb current loan book is kshs 455,880,284,000 billion.
If you add the 150 billion into Equity loan book,it becomes kshs 447,226,915,000! nearly to kcb.
But kcb has already acquired NBK and imperial bank which means there will be increase of their loan book too!

SME lending in the current economic situation?

That's what I'm wondering.



there is still guys to lend to ~ fuliza etc

Check out the default rates on SME and revert.. Note Fuliza is primarily a consumer lending line and not SME

I bet they will do this gradually... The best trading days at the Bond market rarely goes above 5Bn....Average daily turnover is like 1.5Bn....

It will take quite a bit of time to offload the bonds..... One thing I know the profit they will book out of this process will be out of this world...

They sit on papers issued at very nice rates...

When they sell they will just realise their paper profits, otherwise they have been booking those gains under "Fair value changes in available for sale financial assets"
There will be a big effect on the cash flow statement but not much on the profit and loss statement

'There will be a big effect on the cash flow statement but not much on the profit and loss statement'

Is the effect expected soon, or are they going to give it time and how for how long?

The direction of the price of the shares doesn't determine the future performance.

NBK gives KCB guaranteed business from GoK but where there's no GoK how does KCB perform vs Equity?

What's the potential growth in the new markets vs Kenya?

To me based on their current prices, Equity is underpriced , it should be at par with KCB if not higher.
But from dividend angle and for dividend hunters like me, please give me more KCB and take away your Equity.
WHY ?
3.5 bob VS 2.0 bob dividend the difference is clear.
KCB also paying dividend twice (interim and final) is also salulatory to us non resident foreigners and retirees like me (income).
KCB is a balanced counter , investing in growth and also compensating shareholders accordingly . Equity is on aggressive growth only .

Different strokes to different folks.

Mzee Young. Kindly look at the market caps for Equity and KCB respectively:
Equity 135.662B
KCB 134.3B

Equity shares issued 3.769B
KCB shares issued: 3.213B

PE:
EQUITY : 7.2
KCB: 5.8

KCB is the one that seems undervalued
