Paying more dividend than eps


To prop up the share price

A company cannot or rather should not maintain the same dividend against a drastically reduced performance..

I believe that once management and the board concludes that the business environment/economics are such that they can not reinvest the company's funds to generate decent returns for shareholders, its actually prudent and beneficial to return these funds to shareholders. Whether it props up share price or not is a non issue.
WB says the same thing and when BH cannot generate what WB feels is a "decent" return then return the "excess" cash to the shareholders.

Our economy and other factors are to blame.Mature companies are finding it rough in the business.NMG,Bamburi,BAT,EABL,Carbacid and BOC are reporting declining revenues YOY.


I concur with that. Performances of many companies in kenya was negatively affected by interest rate caps.
