The only mistake ARM did was opening a huge plant in Tanzania... That's when things started going wrong

Leverage. Huge leverage. If the leverage had been modest then ARM could have managed to ride through the delays and tough times.

I like that Centum is selling assets to reduce their leverage. It's better to be as unleveraged as possible in a tough environment.

EABL is also looking at a modest but ongoing deleveraging through cash inflows from Kisumu.

Cash-rich firms will probably do better in this economy.

Bamburi must be like 5 times bigger than ARM (i dont have the exact figures). Bamburi also has a 40% stake in EAPC.

ARM has a PE of 20 and a DY of 1.16% while Bamburi PE is 11.9 and DY 5.53%.

ARM is highly geared, loans and corporate bonds. Bamburi mostly equity.

If any of those companies has the ability to weather the so called "competition from cheap imports" that company IMO is Bamburi.

Once again the analysts have shown us why we should not rely on them.

The are clearly in love with GROWTH STOCKS.


Let us avoid highly indebted firms. Next on chopping block is KQ.


Would you buy BAMB at it's current price? What would keep this counter from recovering after 2022?

i would be very cautious depending on what is happening in the market, their brand is being overshadowed by small brands like nyumba, the big contracts like sgr may be very rare going forward as the economy is struggling
There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

SGR's 2nd phase (to Naivasha) is almost done. Unless it is extended from Naivasha/Suswa to Malaba, it is done for the near future.

I read somewhere that large-scale developers (eg commercial buildings, malls, large estates etc) insist on using bamburi and rhino, while individual builders (eg the DC dwellers) use the smaller brands. Has this changed?

Who's fooling who? Experience has taught me that the market can make you money regardless of whether the season is bearish or bullish. A cross section of players get in with money that they will need for meeting thier basic needs hence the jitters. Others too just cant stay still with money (it must be itchy or what?) and they imagine every trend is an opportunity and they jump in with both feet (I did this myself in my younger days). When you know better you do better.

It appears Bamburi is coming down to 50. The market has not been kind
