None for the faint-hearted. Patience required.
Centum (27) is at 40% PB even after provisioning for Amu. 50% of its assets are in real estate including Two Rivers which is facing headwinds.
Unga (33) PB is less than 1 but the economy and milling/food business is tough. Long-term play. Seaboard/Victus tried but failed to buy out 90%.
BAT (480) 8% Dividend Yield but smoking is getting more expensive and opposition to tobacco use grows with education of harmful effects.
Equity (50) seems expensive compared to other banks. The ATMA deal was important as driver of future growth.
Kenya Re (3) has a 0.30 PB but is 60% owned by GoK which is a problem as seen in the boardroom wrangles in 2018.
Banks (DTB, I&M, NCBA) look cheap on a PB and PER basis BUT they do suffer for a slow economy and growing NPLs.
DTB (108) PB less than 1 but Kenya is the biggest segment and suffers from a slow non-GoK economy. NPLs are worrying.
I&M (54) PB less than 1 but Kenya is the biggest segment and suffers from a slow non-GoK economy.
NCBA (36) PB less than 1 but there will be costs to merge/integrate the 2 banks. Culture shock. Office politics. Customers will be pissed off.
Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
