Does this one have hope.. I think it has ever traded at 11.50.... Can it go back there in 5 years?


The new MD at his inauguration said he has a strategy of bringing it back on track.
Of late I have seen advertisements for recruitment for various positions.
They made a big mistake ploughing alot of their resources in buying huge tracks of land at far flung areas.

Let's see how it goes.

Is it just the news of a new chairman that is exciting the market or there is another reason? I am deep in red on this one and any opportunity to get out of jail would be welcome

May reasons, 2 i can point out.
1) We are in the middle of a mini bull run that started with the tier 1 stocks, i.e Safaricom and Equity. I believe it's now tier 2 stocks turn to shine and this is where the CICs, Bamburi, Centum, Britam, NMG are. The monkey stocks will finally have their day.
2) Deep pocketed investors are buying into the stock market now that we only have 1 year left to the elections and history shows that the period after the elections is marked by alot of euphoria.

I suggest you just wait out until after the elections as the long journey upwards has just started but will gather momentum in the run up to elections and the period thereafter.

South Africa-based GCR downgrades CIC Insurance’s credit rating
Quote:
South Africa-based Global Credit Ratings (GCR) has downgraded the credit profiles of CIC Insurance Group general and life units.

Quote:
The agency said the rating downgrade on CIC Life followed the group’s continued elevated exposure to investment property — mainly land banks — on the backdrop of a significant shareholder loan, which is on commercial terms.

“The negative outlook reflects high susceptibility of investment property to market risk amid the Covid-19 pandemic, which could moderate the group’s capital assessment over the medium term,” the rating firm said.

On the life unit, GCR noted over the past five years, the underwriter’s capacity to generate internal capital has been sluggish considering weak earnings performance demonstrated over the same period.

“Consistent with GCR’s group ratings approach, CIC Life’s overall risk score was capped by the group’s creditworthiness despite having a stronger standalone credit profile relative to its parent company,” said GCR.

Meanwhile the share price has gained 58.22% YTD

CIC Insurance posts Sh259 million profit in half-year


Quote:
CIC Insurance Group posted a Sh259.5 million net profit in the half year ended June, reversing a net loss of Sh335.5 million the year before.

The return to profitability was helped by improved performance in the underwriting business and higher investment income.


Quote:
CIC is close to disposing a large part of its land holdings, with the proceeds earmarked for paying down debt and reinvesting the balance in cash-generating assets.

Have they identified a potential buyer.
Meanwhile debt is increasing as they struggle with liquidity issues.
They are now taking short term debts.

looks like they already have the buyer for kiambu land, but its like shareholders will get nothing. Its becoming a norm where companies are disposing very prime assets and giving nothing to shareholders - centum with almasi and now thisSad

Land and property prices in Nairobi and it's environs are self-correcting due to market forces with a report revealing a drop of upto 27%.

A recent Macro Strategy Report published by EFG Hermes, a financial service company, which analysed land prices in the high-end market segment, upper-middle and satellite towns found that the pricing was significantly lower in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the past four years.

It notes that prices of residential and commercial property in Nairobi’s satellite towns have dipped since quarter four of 2019. “Could this represent the early signs of a deeper correction in high-end property prices?” posed the report.

The report says the property market in the country is overvalued, noting that the Covid-19 pandemic has seen distressed properties sale for less than their initial valuation.

The survey notes that the current land prices in the high-end segment are significantly lower than their peak levels over the past four years. “Notably, Quarter One (Q1) of 2021 land prices in Runda were 27 per cent below their recent peaks in Q4 of 2017,” reads the report in part.

“In the middle-income segment, current land prices are also lower than their peak levels over the past four years, but not by as much as the high-end segment.”

Prices in Runda have dropped way below the initial prices in Q4 of 2014. The report notes that while current land prices in Parklands and Westlands have changed from their peak levels over the past four years, current land prices in Upper Hill - Nairobi’s most expensive suburb are 13 per cent below their peaks in Q4 2017.

“Donholm stands out within the other segment for being the only suburb that has continued to see its land prices materially appreciate since Q4 2017,” noted the survey.

The report says on the performance of suburb land prices in Nairobi, between Q4 2017 and Q1 of 2021 all have underperformed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is 20 per cent.

“This has to be concerning for the outlook of the property market in Nairobi’s suburbs,” it reads.
