Full year for 2010 must be looking ugly for it to be doing this so near year end.

The most logical thing to watch is the BBK share price at NSE.I can bet that it will head North.This is for the apparent reasons of the benefits associated with such a corporate action.Shame on you

Bbk is doing relatively well but they must act on orders from their bosses abroad.

Where did you hear this? The guys are the only ones with a stagnant asset base. All other banks are going their asset bases by an average of 20%. Soon, they will be the number 5 bank in Kenya after KCB, Stanchart, Equity and Coop. Talk of stratergy gone wrong.

It's not about what they made last year but by how much will they grow in the next 5. Are they able to compete with the other Kenyan banks? Hapana

Bbk was a reasonable investment from 10yrs ago. Now they are at e.t.c - end of thinking capacity. Disadvantages of being a subsidiary...

@Fundamentally, are you serious? With the kind of profits they are making, there is no way they will lose ground that easily.

You may also want to look up the size of their corporate business book in Kenya, its huge.
