Maybe we need a quick reference point for all the listed companies currently in loss territory.. Here they are: arm, cables, cargeneral, deacons, eapc, eveready, express, ftg, hal, kapch, kurwitu, kq, limuru, mumias, olympia, sameer, uchumi, umeme, wtk

If you ask me, these are many companies for the number of listed companies at the NSE. More reason to support the exchange bar theory that less than 20 listed firms make the cut as viable investments


Flame Tree made a profit of Ksh. 40 million, if memory serves me right.

Thanks for the update. Other corrections and additions are welcome


Williamson Tea also reported a decent HY17

Obiesh, wacha fitina!Laughing out loudly

You know FULL WELL Eveready declared a roaring profit for the most recent financial year.

They even paid a juicy dividend that approximated to almost a whopping 50% of the value of the stock! Yaani we recovered half our monies overnight.

One can argue till the cows come home HOW the profit was achieved, but unless someone repeals the definition of a profit, EVRD came through in spades.

Yes. In relation to the size of its business, it could proportionally be the biggest loss making entity at the NSE. It's either Kurwitu or HAL.. For more context, MSC or KQ could make a loss of KES 1B and the same would be mentioned as a minor slip into the red, while other firms could close shop! Like KQ has losses totaling to KES 82.6B over the last five years and its still operational, with an operating profit!

Indeed Kurwitu is the biggest loss maker in the history of nse. Relative to size KQ loss is a profit.

Exactly! Like if GoK lost KES 100B in a financial year to the normal corrupt cartels.. Kenya would still operate like nothing happened! That's KQ, the Pride of Africa which is expected to post its first profit in 5 years, during H1 2018
