A special dividend will be great

From past experiences I don't see this coming.

Kenya Re needs to rejig their portfolio.
They should reduce their holding in government securities.Going forward yields on them are going down which will reduce the interest income.
Their portfolio in quoted securities is very small at ksh.2bn yet assets is 53bn.
In my opinion a good level of holdings in quoted securities should be about ksh.6bn
From 2bn to 6bn (with total assets of 53bn) hardly moves the needle. 10bn minimum (20%) in equities (at low prices) in good firms and reduce the % exposure to real estate.

Trying to sell the Kisumu building is a good start.

In the current economic environment,they are finding it difficult to get a buyer.
Happens. No surprise there.

Let them sell it and give the special dividend
#TanoTena manenos. I doubt it will be sold at 1bn in 2021.


In that case they have two options;
-Lower the price
-Abandon the plan of selling it for now,hold it and continue earning rental income as they wait for economic conditions to improve

This is a trade for last week.
140mn shares is alot,getting that number would mean buying over a span of time

Kenya Re low share price is due to its low Return on Investment.
The excess cash is invested in low yielding assets such as treasury bills.
It's better paying out the excess cash as dividends.

Applause Applause Applause Sell and pay a dividend Applause Are there buyers at that price in this market?


The rich Indians from Kisumu or government though the process may take time to conclude.

Part of the proceeds may also be used to put up their new commercial building (twin towers) in Upper Hill
There are many rich Luos who can buy it. Applause

Using the proceeds to build a new commercial building in Upper Hill, in the near future, would be STUPID and CRIMINAL. Shame on you

The proceeds should be invested in the stock market if the prices remain low. The best is to pay out a dividend. Next best is a share buyback.

@vvs.
There you have it;
""The reason (for sale) is strategic reinvestment," Kenya Re chief executive Jadiah Mwaraniah said in response to the Business Daily queries without divulging further details."

They will not use the proceeds to payout a dividend and highly unlikely stocks.
