Equity will have no capital costs, they will have a bite of the fees scom currently make on Mpesa, they will have tax breaks on lease charges they will pay to Airtel as these will be legitimate business expenses. They will also make some cash on voice, SMS and data, though these will not be their primary focus.

The network would be managed by Airtel while Equity gets to keep a larger portion of the transaction fees. It's about mobile money fees [& cheap deposits] NOT selling airtime or data! @VVS If this is the case I change my opinion... That patnership will definitely be good for both Equty and Airtel!

Equity's adventure into the telco space will be their downfall! Whats all the positivity about?? The level of capital outlay needed will dent earnings for years to come.. Why invest in a sector where for the last 5 years only 1 player is profitable?? Just because telcos are making money in the finance space doesnt mean vice versa will work... What happened to core business focus?? The Kenyan telco market is a company graveyard! The reason why we [Equity] are successful is because when people are busy asking why, we are busy asking why not. While people are only doing what is expressly allowed, we do anything provided it is not expressly disallowed!!! Those are the words of Dr. James Mwangi. Not mine!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Evidently @guru267, you have not understood Equity's plan at all and therefore you should not be commenting. Going into telco is meant to reduce Equity's charges and also gradually reduce the cost/income ratio For starters they are to reduce transaction cost from the 14/= charged by agents (the lowest in the market!) to Kshs. 7/= The cost/income ratio is also projected to reduce from 49.5% in 2013 to 47% FY 2014, 42% by 2019 and 38% in 2024. All courtesy of going telco. guru267 wrote: Equity's adventure into the telco space will be their downfall! Whats all the positivity about??

Equity has been mean in many 'adventures' over the years. This guys 'had the nerve' to allow every 'Tom, Dick and Harry' open bank accounts. They allowed people with no white collar jobs to open accounts!!! And they didn't even bother to ask for recommendation 'from two customers who had been with the bank for 6 - 12 months' and/or introduction letters from employers. And as if that was not enough, they started giving loans to 'everyone' including mama mbogas, hawkers etc. And they were not demanding for minimum balances like the other 'sensible' banks!!! No charges?? Ledger fees, account maintenance fee etc.!? And they are opening branches in the Estates and Rural areas?? Who are the 'idiots' running this Bank?? They don't know how things work in this industry!! They are definitely going to fail. Yhat is what every 'logical' person said! Guess what! They never failed. They succeeded beyond anyone's expectations!!! And all the other banks slowly started doing exactly what Equity were doing to an extent of banks like Barclays hawking loans on the streets! Dr. James Mwangi is no fool! That is not how he got where he is. Don't for one minute imagine he would sink loads of money into something without due diligence. Watch this space!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Anyone who has been taking you advice/opinion seriously must be in depression - assuming they have not committed suicide!! Home Africa from 25/= to <5 takes the cake! 80% loss in how long? 1,000,000 to 200,000; 5,000,000 to 1,000,000. And all along the drive [or is it flight] down you never stopped advocating for the stock. Even now!!! Never count on making a good sale.

INTERESTING!		#49 Posted : Friday, May 02, 2014 12:23:26 AM
Rank: New-farer Joined: 4/12/2014 Posts: 56		Guys, this thread says KCB Q1 2014 results. Discussing Equity but and Safcom is okay. Discussing @guru267 is NOT APPROPRIATE! Having said that, what is all this beef about? Those who want to buy Equity Bank shares are free to do so. Let us meet at the end of the year and we will be telling the Equity Bank nay-sayers who have been there since time immemorial, "we told you so". Equity Bank has fought many battles and it has got itself into another one because it knows it can succeed. I will buy the shares while others argue!
