According to the management, this company has an embedded value of 10.5b. That translates to a worth of about 5.4 per share. Management teams more often than not tend to lean on the bullish side when analyzing their businesses and britam is no exception.

Current price is upwards of 11bob,that is, more than double the management's computation of fair value. Why would an investor be more optimistic of the business prospects of this company than its management? Good luck to all those who are still in this stock.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

The dividend announcement is a desperate measure by management to play PPT as bears are walking tall in town tongues wagging!

Very soon this stock will come down with a bang like an asteroid.

Share price = EPS x PER = 0.64 x 10 = KES 6.40.

Avoid the unnecessary noise and stay focused otherwise the market magicians will skin you alive!


Use real PER on your calculation based on Britam fundamentals. You have randomly picked a less value in a pure attempt to balkanize the fair value of this stock.

Until the EPS is released, we [except @Obiero] do not know what it is. Why don't you give us your mathematics?

We can compare @hisah vs @spikes on Britam.

And while at it @spikes, remember to keep pace with Britam's revisions of EPS.



Current EPS = - 0.5
PE is -23

Right @murchr. However since EPS is negative, PE is irrelevant. Instead we should use another measure such as NAV to arrive at a fair value. Someone mentioned 5.4 from management but haven't had time to go through Statements of FP.

We need the balance sheet to enable us calculate NAV.

@Hisah (despite the forecasted profit) won over @Spikes
