@youcant please do not listen to @the deal... He's research seems fllawed...
Jubilee made an undewriting profit growth of 42% to half a billion shillings... (best in the industry)
They then decided to inflate the claims of their life business by 1.5 billion so as to surpress the profits and cushion bad years... ( source AGM)
THERE WAS NO UNDERWRITING LOSS
@Guru i was just reading their results which they released to the public..the other thing of Inflating their claims i didnt know...is it even legal? if its legal then it was a good move...in fact if you read their income statement fair value of their financial assets increased 4X to Ksh 1.6 B from Ksh 326 something which will not be repeated this year...lets hope what you are saying is true cos year end might tank...thats why u see no fund manager is touching JUB and the price has stagnated...we need more clearity...
The CEO expects an EPS of 40bob which is a 20% increase..
He expects jubilee to be the number one insurer in africa in four years..
@the deal let me fill you in on fund manager criteria for investing.
1. Large market cap
2. Sufficient liquidity of shares...
Jubilee meets none of these requirements so it cannot be traded by fund managers despite its superb performance as a matter of policy.
I think it would do one better to enter a company with such phenomenal 75 year record like jubilee before it gains favour...
Oh yeah @the deal the price may have stagnated but ive bee minting cash frm the dividends and bonus issues..
I think im currenntly up 28% in just a year.. Again the best performing insurance stock and one of the best financials on the NSE..
