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.
Strictly old papa mzee@Young opinion .


Soon even coop bank may catch up to Equity bank in terms of amount of money paid out as dividend

Dividend payout for banking stocks FY2018
KCB---Ksh.10.75bn
Equity bank---Ksh.7.54bn
Stanchart----ksh.6.53bn
Barclays---Ksh.5.97bn
Coop---Ksh.5.9bn

Of all the banks listed, I think Equity has the best potential for growth over the next 5-10 years with the recent acquisitions in DRC and of Atlas Mara banks.

For those looking for a higher dividend yield in the near future then KCB or SCBK may be a better option.

Points of concern in both entities:
Kcb-G.o.K and nssf combined ownership of 23%.This brings fears of meddling.

Equity- How will it survive post James Mwangi?

Numbers favour Kcb as Equity has appeared lethargic in recent years.

Waiting game this. However, any banking stock you buy of tier 1 banks including NCBA should do well in the long term as banking stocks are grossly undervalued.

Nonetheless, consider this KCB is solidifying their bread and butter before venturing out. Was it 20% in market share? NBK acquisition alone is worth more than the 2 DRC banks.

Also looking at EQUITY FY the impact of these other markets is currently insignificant considering they have been in UG/RW etc for a while.

My biggest fear with banking stocks is that the NPLs are being understated and the economy seems to be hurtling towards the abyss with increasing speed which can only make the NPLs worse or does the lending to GOK rather than to SMEs /Wanjiku make the situation less serious?

KCB is the country's biggest bank by assets and profitability.
