Equity Group has cancelled its proposed dividend payout of Sh2.50 per share or a total of Sh9.4 billion, citing the need to conserve cash in the wake of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
“Accordingly, the board has passed a resolution withdrawing the proposed dividend recommendation and instead will be recommending to the shareholders that no dividend is paid for the financial year ended 31st December, 2019,” Equity said in a statement. “Therefore, the shareholders of the company and other investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s ordinary shares on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, the Uganda Securities Exchange and the Rwanda Stock Exchange.” This is fraud  possibly true, somebody want in at a low price, the heavy local demand for the last one month which pushed price to 42 shows somebody desperately purchasing below 40 That was a fund buying. They will seize this golden opportunity to load up some more. Nothing like a golden opportunity. Failure to pay a dividend isn't a positive sign Et tu Obiero? Surely, how is preserving cash in order to survive hard, uncertain, times a negative sign? Shows lack of depth in reserves. How come its peers are paying? They should have paid reduced dividend amount, not nothing/nil - kwanza after initially declaring a good juicy amount of Kshs. 2.5 bob. My bet is KCB will pay. Gava has already budgeted for this chapaa 😀😀

The rich are secure in their needs, they can even afford to give some of their money e.g. James Mwangi's personal donation of kshs 300m. The poor are getting donations from NGOs and cash transfers from GOK. The middle class are losing their jobs, being denied minority dividends and getting nil assistance from NGOs and GOK. Cry the middle class Life is short. Live passionately.

This is very bad precedent by Equity, very very bad. Disclaimer, i hold no member shares, sold all in the recent rally and i said as much here. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Cry the middle class
This will be the narrative of the 2020's decade. covid19 stress test is going to shake middle class good and proper. Already in 2 months they are hawking vegetables from the back of BMWs and Subarus. Middle class will have to trim the fat both financially and physically or retire into penury. I see everyone is now out running in the morning(same folks that were driving to the gym to walk on the treadmill). They are now removing parking lots in CBD and installing bike lanes. Middle class will have to move back near the inner city or within walking distance to work, bike to work, carry packed lunch and start going for the old fashioned entertainment. The poor need to be kept busy with bread and circus(political entertainment). Middle class can go hang

It shows prudent management in times of crisis. I believe I have seen you argue exactly this point about another company (I wish I could find the link). Sad to see you have gone to the dark side.

[quote=Ericsson]Equity group ends discussion with Atlas Mara group on acquisition of Atlas businesses in Rwanda,Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique. https://mobile.twitter.c...310542861799424/photo/1[/quote] There must be something fishy with those assets that Equity has been so hesitant to buy ever since last year as compared to BCDC bank in DRC which was a done deal really fast...... My take is that Equity should first make their TZ subsidiary bigger and more profitable before going further down south. KCB and DTB are profitable in TZ so it's not impossible.

That's why we love King James. This was a sober decision esp because those banks were already loss-making, now with covid..imagine paying the same price. Nah

I think the DRC deal was easier since it was a single bank in a single market and will be integrated into Equity DRC vs buying several small banks in new markets. The latter takes more work, injecting capital, integration, etc. Perhaps not the time to do so but certainly something to think about in the future to become a pan-african bank.

It has been been almost 7 years in Tanzania and barely any growth over the past 4 years. It has been in losses in 2018, 2019 and start 2020 with a fat decline (-30%) in the top line revenue. KCB with an equally sized footprint in Tanzania was bringing in close to Ksh1 billion PBT from TZ unit. Equity need to rethink strategy and overhaul management there.
