Billionaire investor Baloobhai Patel has more than quadrupled his stake in Co-op Bank to Sh403 million, becoming the second-largest individual investor in the Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed firm.
Co-op Bank said in regulatory filings that Mr Patel raised his ownership from 5.8 million shares in February to 25.2 million in September, boosting his stake in the lender from 0.12 per cent to 0.43 per cent.
The value of his shareholding jumped from Sh93.8 million to Sh403 million over the same period based on the bank’s share price of Sh16 on Monday.
A bold move by a top KQ investor
Who probably regrets buying KQ instead of Co-op in 2012
Remember I was once in COOP.. A solid bank with good prospects. But wait for the Open Offer ratio before you laugh too hard at KQ investors. The joke may be on you
I feel sorry for KQ shareholders who bought shares in the Rights Issue coz they were lied to... 14/- to the current price (divided by 4) without any dividends. Good luck to those who still believe in KQ.
I hope KQ will thrive under Mikosz and Joseph but the rapacious staff are waiting to suck KQ dry. In the meantime, the likes of Naikuni and Mbugua are laughing at the KQ shareholders.
On Coop, I want it to do well but I prefer the mid-tier banks which seem to be more innovative and nimble. I am quite impressed with how DTB and its shares have performed.
Can Coop be as nimble?
Where/how will Coop grow?
I hope Kenya's economy starts firing on all cylinders after the brutal 2017 election season. All banks should benefit from a better economy.
