As other counters tank ABSA share price is on upward trajectory

ABSA Kenya has entered into a deal with African Guarantee Fund (AGF) to provide cover against defaults of up to Kes1.25 billion as the lender courts SMEs.
The guarantee line will run for a period of five years and avails cover of up to Kes100 million for a single SME borrower.

What is the source of information? Is it reliable?

Any rumors on the dividend?

Minimum payout ratio that was announced during Q3 results is 50% payout ratio.
If EPS is Ksh.2 Minimum DPS is Ksh.1 and based on their capital reserve requirements.

Yep

Absolutely. They may even surprise with a special dividend on top of the 1.2. Remember they paid absolutely nothing in 2021. And the rebranding expenses have come to an end.

Then KCB who have sneaked in Oigara another one year will also want to show mega results. To justify paying Oigara his final 200M plus bonus - final year in office. They will be pressured to restore full dividends if they are paying fat bonuses.
