For dividend lovers, our expectation is that Standard Chartered Bank will pay a final dividend per share of Sh. 15. At today's share price of Sh. 159, that is a dividend yield of 9.43% (15/159*100%=9.43%). This is better than returns of some money market funds. Choose wisely.
The most funny aspect is that for full year 2022, BAT Kenya had a revenue of KES 27.38 Billion where it made a profit of KES 6.89 billion. But KenGen with a revenue of KES 27.46 billion nearly the same amount of BAT realised a profit of KES 3.26 Billion. Serves to let you know
Dividend paying stocks in the NSE ranked on the basis of dividend yield. Dividend yield is dividend per share divided by market price per share times 100 percent. A dividend yield of 8% means for every sh 100 invested in shares of firm, you get sh. 8 as dividends less 5% tax.
Returns for various money market funds as at 20 January 2023. Higher returns doesn't mean the money market fund is the best to invest your cash for short term goals you have in mind.
Minus Ethiopia, Safaricom PLC made a profit of KES 74 billion. Therefore the current profit dip is not a cause of concern given the heavy investment required to be made and yet revenue growth is not instantaneous. Plus Safaricom Ethiopia has 900 workers currently, Salaries are
With the top MMF giving a return of 13.79% annually, if you needed to have KES 30,000 deposited into your account on a monthly basis, you will need to invest KES 2.61 million to be able to attain that (=(30000*12)/13.79%)
Someone who invested sh 100000 in Kakuzi in 2011 could have roughly sh 614,600 in the ten years time frame. This is roughly an annualised return of 22.35%. Really teaches you on the need to have a long-term perspective when it comes to matters stocks
Real investors will need to act despite the fear:
1. Coop at Kshs 10
2. KCB at Kshs 34
3. Safaricom at Kshs 24.50
4. Equity at Kshs 31.80
Let us see exactly one year after today.That is on 4 August 2021,how your portifolio will look like having positioned yourself in this.
The big individual players in the Kenyan stock market:

Who do we need to add to the list?
Dividend paying stocks in the Nairobi Securities Exchange and associated dividend yield. To get the dividend yield you divide the dividend per share by market price of each share multiplied by 100%. A dividend yield of 10% means if you invested Sh. 100,000 in share, dividends
For dividend lovers, take note we are expecting Bat Kenya to declare a final dividend per share of Sh. 50+ by last week of February 2023. At current market price of Sh. 460, that is a dividend yield of 10.86%. This nearly matches the returns you can make on 364 day treasury bill.

What do you think should be added to the list?
Kenyan banks have no choice but to keep lending to the government to salvage amount invested already in government securities. This is the only way to avert default and a plunge in their market values given they will recover at most 30% of money invested in government incase of
If we were given a limit of only three NSE stocks to buy this year and no change for the next 1 year,this will be our 3 picks:
1. Umeme
2. KCB
3. Total Kenya.
What about you?
Tomorrow President Ruto expected to be at NSE. For ten years former President Uhuru never set foot on the NSE. This sets a good precedent and hopefully President Ruto seems to be following the footsteps of President Kibaki
@WilliamsRuto
Some of the best dividend payers in the Nairobi Securities Exchange:
1. British American Tobacco.
2. Standard chartered Bank.
3. Williamson Tea.
4. Kapchorua Tea.
5. Umeme.
6. NCBA.
The current dividend yields in the NSE are a clear proof of how cheap shares are in the NSE. If the NSE companies maintain the dividend pay, those who invest at current market prices are going to make good returns on their cash.
The current depressed market is a golden chance.
Interestingly currently, the top two stocks dividend yield exceed what you can get by investing in bonds. This is a clear proof of the underpricing of shares in the NSE currently.
KCB becomes first Kenyan bank to hit KES 1.55 trillion in asset base.But weuh! still shocked at their reduction of dividends from Sh. 3 last year to sh 2 this 2022.
Returns for various money market funds as at 27 January 2023. Higher returns doesn't mean the money market fund is the best to invest your cash for short term goals you have in mind.
BAT Kenya return on average Equity was 43.96% for period ended 31 December 2022. Currently the ten year Treasury bond yield is 14.714%. This ideally means Bat Kenya is 3 times better (=43.96/14.714) than an investment in Treasury Bonds. And with BAT Kenya book value per share
Dividend payers in the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Dividend per share used is for latest available full financial year. Dividend yield is dividend per share divided by market price per share expressed as a percentage. Dividend yield of 10% means that for every Sh. 100,000
Umeme still remains the stock with highest dividend yield in the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Key risk for it though remains that the power distribution concession ends in 2025. Before then you'd expect them to pay good dividends.
One thing I have learned over the years: If you see you employer expanding and hiring like crazy, start looking for a job like crazy.
Two years never end before the same guys who were talking "growth", "conquering new markets", "ideological shift", and "thinking out of the box"
The reality still remains: Equity; KCB; EABL; BAT and Safaricom PLC may go down in price by 50% but with no change in fundamentals they will still recoup. And infact with Kenya economy set to expand by double in next 5 years then we really expect that growth to trickle down.
Money market fund returns 28 June 2028. They give better returns as compared to Fixed deposit accounts and does not have stringent conditions attached since you can withdraw your cash any time you want without losing interest earned.
You have a business that makes you a guaranteed KES 100 million as profit per year. Mrs Smart comes to you and tells you to sell the business to them at KES 100 million. Will you be willing to sell the business to them? What is the fair price to pay for your business?
Pesalink is cheaper than Safaricom mpesa but still people use mpesa and not pesa link to transact.If charges were the only thing people cared about then they couldnt use mpesa.People should not forget government earns a lot of taxes from mobile money transfer fees,will it let
Money market funds are a good parking place for parking your money when you have a short term goal in mind.
A short term goal can be something like paying school fees in next 3 months. You get to earn interest on your money and you can withdraw cash at any time without any fine
Safaricom is a money making machine. With KES 108 billion generated from its core activity of calls, data and mobile money,it's just a lovely business.
It's magnet Mpesa made KES 140 billion in year ended 31 March 2024. This translates to KES 383.56 million daily from mpesa
Currently money market funds are giving an average return of 9.70% against a benchmark return of 10.80% for 364 day treasury bill. Fixed deposit accounts are paying an average return of 7.47% as per CBK data whereas savings account are paying an annual interest rate of 3.6%.
A few amazing statistics on just released equity and kcb results
1. Equity Group Holdings now leads KCB in terms of total equity of Kes 137.6 billion versus KCB kes 135.1 billion.
2. Both KCB and Equity have 98% of their transactions currently outside the branch.
NCBA shares are good and growing. If you have to sell, sell only 10000 shares and let the rest stay the way. Then do the following:
1. Use 200000/- to buy around 6000 KCB shares
2. Use 200000/- to buy 65000 KPLC shares.
Don't put all your cash in banking shares.
Kindly advise. I got 20000

Money market yields annual for period ended 28 March 2023. The average return on money market funds of 9.68% is 3 times return people are getting on a savings account.
The most important part of the Hustlers Fund is the savings part. People are forgetting if you save a maximum of Sh. 6,000 per year in Hustlers fund, the government will top up your savings by another sh. 3000 per year. Definitely taking advantage of this, what about you?
In the last 15 years COOP Bank total returns inclusive of dividends has amounted to 240.58%. On annualised basis Coop returns has been 8.51% annually above the inflation rate. This means Sh.100,000 invested in Coop grew to KES 340,580.00
Safaricom Ethiopia spent KES 6.8 billion to pay 909 employees in Ethiopia. This narrows to an average pay of sh. 623,396 per month per employee. This shows how much Safaricom is willing to pay to acquire good talent in Ethiopia.
On the downside since revenue for Safaricom
Based on Communication Authority of Kenya statistics, the total value of mobile money transactions using MPESA totalled KES 7.72 trillion for period 1April to 30 June 2022 an increase of 41.43% compared to KES 5.46 trillion transacted for period 1 April to 30 June 2022.
For lovers of dividends, consider researching into Standard Chartered Bank Kenya. Mostly likely to hike dividend payment to sh 40 this financial year. Final year results will be out in March 2025.
This is the dividend history for British American Tobacco (BAT) for past ten years and associated dividend payout ratio.
BAT clearly has been a good dividend payer and ideally for financial year 2022, it should declare a final dividend of Sh. 50+ per each share of BAT
Compounding is a powerful concept that people need to understand. In simplest sense Compounding means not eating the money you get from your sacco bonus but rather using it to make more money e.g. by buying more shares in a sacco.
That said, these are some of the great rules you
Umeme with a return of 145.55% was the best performing security in the Nairobi Securities Exchange in 2023. In contrast the market as a whole was actually down by 27.74% in 2023. 28 Securities in the NSE had returns that beat the inflation rate that stands at 6.80% currently
Its incredibly intriguing to see that KCB with a book value per share of KES 50.72 and a return on equity above 20% is trading below book value per share. At current price of Sh 45 per share for KCB, its definitely good value as compared to buying Equity bank shares.

Car and General, one month ago was at KES 30. At that time the fear was it could even get to the 20s but any serious Investor could not fail to notice its financials were in good shape. Currently its at sh 42 per share. A 40 percent rise. It pays to buy a good company.
It is funny when people are opposed to privatization. Once upon a time the government owned 60% of Safaricom. Sold 25% of Safaricom in 2008. Safaricom did not die because of the privatization.
Privatising public entities like Kenya Pipeline means we can cry out when things are
Sweetie Carbacid Investment closed at sh. 15.25 today. Financial year ends on 31 July 2023. Expected to declare a final dividend per share of sh 1.70.
Solid company with zero debt and has operated minus a ceo for years now. Mines natural carbon dioxide that is used in sodas.
KenGen takes lead. The current average dividend yield of 9.01% beats the inflation rate of 6.64% with 24 companies having a dividend yield above the inflation rate.
