Waiting for it @ 14 in September 2014!

@Realtreaty i like your positive sentiments but bbk is being flogged by the indigenous banks like co-op,kcb and equity who adapt to local innovations faster than multi nationals do.

While there exists positive sentiments on abilities of the new ceo ,bbk have decided to stay on their own lane and hopefully grow business while equity et al are constantly evolving as evidenced by the new mobile money play.With all honesty,where is the value in this brand?Looking ahead what strategy do they have to grow their business lines?

I wouldn't be shocked if bbk is one day swallowed by one of the indigenous or African banks looking for a Kenyan foot print.Its synonymous to a mammoth,too big,too slow and not aware extinction is coming.

PS: I actually thought they would be rebranding to Absa,don't know what happened

@mibbz.....HAHA........NEVER GONNA HAPPEN..........

Dont write off BBK just yet. It is a big international bank and has diehard customers for whatever reasons. Absa was actually rebranded as Barclays Africa and it is bigger than all Kenyan banks combined. I say Hold.

Profit after tax up 13% to ksh.4.2 billion

Please guys post the presentation and the hard numbers here

I susspect anyone who invested in BBK prior to 2006 has actually made negative returns.

if you bought BBK on 8th march 2006, the unit cost per share was kshs 252. if you had maintaned that share and done nothing until today, you would have received dividends of Kshs 185.8 and you will be having 32 baclays shares. that is priced as kshs 544. in total you will have had a return of (729.8-252)/252 equal to 14.2% CAGR.

FACT.

Quick analysis

KCB from 3/5/2007 B/P 250
total div to date ksh 353
Now you have 10 shares valued at 540

EABL from 25/8/2006 price 297
Total Dividend kshs 360
Now have 1.2 shares of Kshs 357

Times can really change,this is bbk once the most profitable banks.
