Dividend 75 cents per share


At price of 20 that gives a DY of 3.75%.

Growing firm needs to retain cash.


Paltry dividend is what keeps the stock from realizing full potential. Sad


Excellent results

I have looked at the results and they are impressive. I however note that they have not passed their equity loss in the PL statement. I thus suspect that they are not correcting stating their pl for FY 15( QE 2014 3,256 M vers QE 2015 2,553 M a loss of over 700 M)

NSE gains and losses are passed directly onto the equity account without passing onto the P&L.Thus EPS is unaffected but reflects in NAV

The reason why this is allowed is that Kenya re and Jubilee want to avoid wide swings in EPS thus offering share price stability

I am pretty sure this statement is not true. Why would insurance firms be allowed an accounting treatment [by IFRS, ICPAK] to offer price stability of the shares?

Something's got to give. I would buy this whole company if I had the cash. Surely someone with the cash is thinking it. But who wants GOK for a partner d'oh!

IFRS recognises various accounting policies and estimation methods for accounting items.

It all depends on the opinion you hold as long it does not compromise on the true and fair view of the company's position.

In this case these accounting tricks are not immediately apparent to Wanjiku and therefore Kenya re and Jubilee enjoy more stable share prices compared to other insurers.

Value will only be unlocked here if GOK offloads its majority to a multinational re insurer looking for in roads into Kenya.

That is when i would start taking this share seriously, but a very low shareholding by GOK less than 5%. or lower, better yet they offload completely. but thats just a dream, and im sure the company would be come better valued if that was the case.

With EPS of 5.1 they should reward shareholders abit more,especially given the consistent nature of their perfomance over the years
