Kcb has just completed acquisition of NBK while equity bank is in the process of acquiring Atlas mara banking assets To me based on their current prices, Equity is underpriced , it should be at par with KCB if not higher. But from dividend angle and for dividend hunters like me, please give me more KCB and take away your Equity. WHY ? 3.5 bob VS 2.0 bob dividend the difference is clear. KCB also paying dividend twice (interim and final) is also salulatory to us non resident foreigners and retirees like me (income). KCB is a balanced counter , investing in growth and also compensating shareholders accordingly . Equity is on aggressive growth only . Different strokes to different folks. Strictly old papa mzee@Young opinion . Soon even coop bank may catch up to Equity bank in terms of amount of money paid out as dividend Dividend payout for banking stocks FY2018 KCB---Ksh.10.75bn Equity bank---Ksh.7.54bn Stanchart----ksh.6.53bn Barclays---Ksh.5.97bn Coop---Ksh.5.9bn Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

For those looking for a higher dividend yield in the near future then KCB or SCBK may be a better option. Different strokes for different folks. Greedy when others are fearful.

Numbers favour Kcb as Equity has appeared lethargic in recent years. Towards the goal of financial freedom

However, any banking stock you buy of tier 1 banks including NCBA should do well in the long term as banking stocks are grossly undervalued. Nonetheless, consider this KCB is solidifying their bread and butter before venturing out. Was it 20% in market share? NBK acquisition alone is worth more than the 2 DRC banks. Also looking at EQUITY FY the impact of these other markets is currently insignificant considering they have been in UG/RW etc for a while.

My biggest fear with banking stocks is that the NPLs are being understated and the economy seems to be hurtling towards the abyss with increasing speed which can only make the NPLs worse or does the lending to GOK rather than to SMEs /Wanjiku make the situation less serious?

On April 8, 2018, Equity had a lead of Sh40 billion as its market capitalisation stood at Sh205.6 billion compared to KCB’s Sh165.5 billion.” Sensationalist reporting, It should read “ Equity market cap falls significantly” or “KCB holds better value in bear market” Because technically KCB hasn’t “risen” in the traditional way of things
