Same dudes had issued a BUY recommendation for Bamburi a few weeks before the share price started tumbling. A brokerage firm is like a hype man. He/she has no fiduciary duty. (Someone replied to the tweet with a "SELL,SELL"  ) Anyway BUY or SELL the broker makes their money. If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense

Drop in trading income after disposal of Almasi beverages and stake in Nairobi bottlers. Drop in investment income,since there was no asset disposal. Poor performance in Sidian, Longhorn publishers and NAS. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Last year there was a gain in disposal (Almasi)of about Ksh12bn recognized in the consolidated income statement and the sales by Almasi of ksh4 bn were still being consolidated into the statement. These were not present in the current financial year. There has also been an uptick of losses in some associates and joint ventures (Two Rivers, Sabis, Nas Servair),some of them were not in operation after covid measures kicked in. The rest of the items are largely similar apart from the decrease in interest cost. Personally, I never look at the consolidated income statement since these are many companies in different industries and shareholding being consolidated together. I look at the company statement to see what comes back as dividend, interest income and gains in disposal of assets. This is what will determine whether I get a dividend or not.

To reverse that loss into a profit and pay dividend is a tall order. The next asset to be disposed I see is Sidian bank Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

To reverse that loss into a profit and pay dividend is a tall order. The next asset to be disposed I see is Sidian bank From what I understood (I may be wrong), there is a lot of liquidity coming in from the real estate business but it isn't flowing through the company's income statement. So when Centum Re pays the parent company Centum the money comes in as debt repayment of the shareholder loans rather than dividends (They didn't input a lot of share capital to the subsidiary but lent money). It is visible in the company's cash flow statement. The CEO indicated this is enough to sustain the dividend. Sidian for now is still lagging behind as compared to its peer of similar size which is Credit Bank. It may not fetch a good market price.
