Hey guys, I've a couple of these shares @60, but the drama has been disappointing so far...

Perhaps spoke too soon. Just seen the following snapshot from Aly-Khan Satchu. Loan loss provision frightening.

Full Year Results Dec 2009 versus Dec 2008:
Total Interest Income 4.425b versus 3.747b = +18.09%
Net Interest Income 2.414b versus 2.015b = +19.80%
Total Non interest Inc 1.461b versus 1.176b = +24.23%

Loan Loss 463.484m vs 194.551m = +138.23%
Staff Costs 938.959m vs 742.171m = +26.515%
Total Operating Exp 2.348b versus 1.707b = +37.55%

PAT 1.085b versus 1.037b = +4.629%
EPS 3.31 versus 3.18 = +4.088%
Dividend 0.50 as per 2008


His Conclusions
A Solid Set of Results where Defence rather than Offence was required. The Staff Costs confirm that NIC is positioned for a return to Growth and the PE Valuation of 10.574 makes it Good Value.

NIC bought the Tanzania bank in 2Q 2009. The profits/gains should start flowing in 2010 as they integrate their operations & client list...

Tanzania is huge and the resources beat Kenya hands down!

Lucky for Kenya, we have the 'better' manpower & entrepreneurial spirit... when we are not killing each other...

That loan loss provision doesn't look good. But it's worth keeping. I got in at 31.75 in January as defensive stock. It still has a strong-hold in instalment and trade finance.

Applause The directors have recommended a bonus share for every 10 held by 25th March. In my view a share to hold in the long run

@Muganda. Not good at all.

The market expected much more than just 4.6% PBT growth based on their own H1 results.

The 138% loan loss provision growth from previous year is a indictment of their allegedly conservative lending policy. Even equity who have the most liberal policy on lending only registered 2% increase

I like the idea of 1:10 bonus shares which they have now done for the third year in a row, basically meaning they believe in the business and intend to plough back the bulk of the profits rather than pay out dividends..

Lets wait for DTB results,they will definitely be better.
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

The higher the Loan Loss Provisions.. the better... sort of...

Banks that take LLPs are saying, we screwed up... but we will provide for them (they go against Profits) so the problem is taken care of...

@gathinga - Careful... Equity might NOT be providing enough for their Loans... I do not know how good/poor Equity's policies are for NPLs but I have been in the market for many years...

KCB used to 'show' great results... lakini they were fake! When the crap hit the fan, the losses (due to LLPs & write-offs) were enormous!

It took a Rights Issue to re-capitalize the bank. And a lot of patience & 'massaging' of the books to keep it 'solvent'.

Same for NBK... actually, even worse!
