Here's a snippet from NIC

Centum Full year Results- Centum’s portfolio diversified to an additional 5 sectors in 2015. Under the energy sector the company has invested in Amu and Akiira power plants. In financial services, Centum acquired 65% controlling stake in K-Rep bank.. In FMCG Centum acquired controlling stake in Almasi beverages and formed King Beverage, a company that distributes Carlsberg in Kenya. The company’s credit rating improved from A- to A in this financial period Centum exited UAP at KES 180 per share realizing over KES 5bn. It also exited investments in 2 PE funds realizing about KES 500mn. PAT went up by 160% from KES 3bn to 7.9bn. Total assets went up by 43% from KES 28.8bn to KES 41.2bn. The company also recorded a 39% increase in net asset value. Going forward the plan is to open the 2 Rivers Mall in the 2015/2016 financial period and to complete phase one of Pearl Marina.

My expectation is that the share price retreats in the short-term. These are not the hey days of bull market when good news is immediately priced in. This will test the short term investors and some will sell at a loss.

The huge rise is due to a one off gain from the disposal of stake in UAP.

The huge rise in profits is due to the sale of UAP stake which is a one off gain.

@Ericsson, insightful and true. Net Asset Value was up a more reasonable 39% http://www.centum.co.ke/downloa...efing%20Presentation.pdf

@mlennyma, goodies are only Centum 3.0, bragging rights and share price growth
