Same story with DTB. It's not the low DPS that bothers me as much as the awful RoE.

The best dividend payers are foreigners eg SCBK, BAT and even EABL.
CARB is an exception on the local front.


Re: dividend payers, I concur on the first two. EABL? I bailed after 6 years of consistently getting <4 DY.

@ Maich Black - Stanchart traded around Kshs. 190/- in 2018...but as VVS says, there are others whose current share prices defy logic given their DY's...

I was referring to the Dividend Payout Ratio and not the absolute dividend or DY.
The dividend will vary based on earnings, cashflows and future needs.

EABL has a high DPR during the recent.

SCBK - 65%+ (of late it has been 80%)
BAT - 80%+ (even 100% is not unknown)
CARB - 80% (past 2 years has been almost 100%)

DTB and Jubilee are less than 25% DPR from a low RoE!

The Aga Khan companies; methinks they are run more as social enterprises rather than pure profit plays. They are NOT run to maximise shareholder wealth but are ran more for other social criteria. DTB is perhaps a savings aggregator - to provide as high interest as possible for customers whilst providing capital to other business owned by Aga Khan and a certain sub-section of Kenyans. If you want to benefit from DTBK, be a customer or a borrower. Not a shareholder.
That said, I am a shareholder because I hold out hope that someday they will balance all interests including minority shareholders.

Understood. WTK too seems to fall in that category.

WTK and KAPC, until FY23, took the policy of paying an absolute dividend vs a DPR.

It was 20 for WTK and 10 for KAPC but the weak KES/$ or the Magors wanted more has given shareholders a higher DPS. All good for minorities!
