@surealligator; if you compare some basic data of C&G and crown, you will understand why:

EPS: C&G = 8.8, Crown = 3.64

NAV: C&G = 57.8, Crown = 34.3

P/E: C&G = 5.7, Crown = 9.6 [this makes Crown almost twice MORE expensive!]

P/B: C&G = 0.86, Crown = 1.02 [this makes Crown 20% MORE expensive]

On these alone, it is clear that Crown at Sh35 is MORE expensive than C&G at Sh50.

car and general is on my watchlist...its a good stock...in 2009 its the cost of sales that broke their necks..but this was due to tough economic times..

I once heard the CEO - the youthful Vijay Gidoomal - quip that he can't understand why the share is so expensive! Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

LOL... even the smart politicians make idiotic comments... just to look clever... and suddenly look not so smart!

Lakini in Kenya, the problem is the wananchi are also idiots!

Proof:
1) Electing the same corrupt bastards over & over again... be it moi or gumo or one of any of the fools/thieves!

2) Voting tribal above all else. 2008 is testament to this.

My dear you hold your political leaders a bit too highly. Some of us prefer to treat them like the jokes they are.
I have a lot of respect for the good Professor, he was by far the best Planning Minister and a reason why we enjoy some of the things we do today.

Kenyan politicians are scummier than scum...

- night-time swearing in among other shenanigans
- corrupt to the core. Even whores have more self-respect. At least they dont pretend to be something else
- Callous. Tax-free salaries/perks while Kenyans starve
- Happy to use violence even when unjustified

How can you compare crown berger (paints) and C&G cars? In addition to the historic ratios (eps, p/e et al), one has to look at which between the has better future prospectsgiven industry compe, economy, float et al.

@Macmende

Thanks, you pointed out the fact. Am learning, and relearning. Mukiha, I believe knows better but its good letting the fraternity here refresh their mind, mine included.

@Mukiha

It pissed me off when the bearded sister said Safcom shares are cheaper than KQ. I wonder if he got his Professorial papers from Togo or they were honorary. We need to see Wisdom in an elder for us to accord him respect.
Go overdrive in purchasing the goods when there's blood on the streets, expecially if the blood is your own

@waithaka - Does C&G do cars?

I do not recall they do cars (unless they have a franchise I dont know of except Porsche... I think!)

Otherwise, the point is well taken coz paint is easier to scale up... and Crown is the #1 name tho Basco has done well with Duracoat + marangi

@vvs C&G is a true jack of all trades. They do investment in real property, tire retreads, lawn mowers, motor bikes, tuk tuks, washing machines, generators, poultry and i dont know what else.
