FY2021 results were awful.

EPS 13.98
DPS 3.00
DPR 22%
ROE 6.3% (below inflation!)
PB: 20%

The story they are selling:

- Large losses in 4Q2021
- 4.5bn to be spent on expansion
- "Digital Bank"
- Pricing model

The reality is that DTB has done wrong by its shareholders.
The dilemma is the price is so low and one needs to absorb the loss and consider it as a potential "new" investment.

Awful. Awful. Awful.

I wonder if it makes sense to hold on or buy ar today's prices.
That's the analysis I need to work on.

You said DTB is a better bet and counter to hold compared to KCB.
We can compare Total Returns for each in April 2027 as you had suggested.

Diamond Trust Bank will open 20 this year and another 20 by 2024. Average branch size used to be 2,200 sq. ft , but now only need 600 - 800, with less staff who will shift functions from transaction to advisory

Ask yourself whether management's interests are aligned with yours or not. Probably not. DTB does NOT exist to maximise shareholder value through the normal route of share price appreciation and dividends.

Instead it is a deposit pooling mechanism for some key constituents. They are encouraged to bank with DTB to get very high interest rates on their deposits and also to access some jumbo-sized business loans. Very frequently the latter go belly up.

Check how much is paid as interest expenses. Very high. Those are the main stakeholders.
Check the level of bad loan provisioning. Very high. Possibly to also minimise taxes as far as possible.
Check how much is paid to staff. Very low compared to banks of similar size.
Check how much is paid to 'shareholders' in the form of dividends. Very low to keep high cash levels for the true stakeholders.

Now, that said. I am buying some DTB shares because they are super cheap and I am holding out that some day in future the interests of the true shareholders will prevail.

It is a no-brainer really. Price will certainly correct sooner or later. Shikilia hapo hapo.

I had 3 banks in my list for a reason. 1/3 each for Equity, DTB and SCBK.

I am happy to compare my portfolio to yours in 2027.

As my guy WB says! Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

I am going to do an analysis of DTB vs others. Equity excites me the most for growth. 20+% ROE and DRC hasn't fully kicked in.

I hope this bank knows what it is doing. While everyone else is growing digitally, they are still expanding bricks & mortar.

@VituVingiSana, does the persistent insecurity in parts of DRC constitute a big threat for banks doing business in DRC?

That's a tough question.

I would say YES but DRC is huge and unless the bank has substantial business in those affected areas it may not be a major issue.

From what I understand banks aren't huge into lending as they are in Kenya. There's a lot of transactional business.

Overall, I am bullish about banks in DRC over the medium-long term.
There will be disruptions over the next few years.

BUT wars (civil or external) can upset the apple cart.

FY2022

EPS 21.68
DPS 5.00
DPR 23%
ROE 10.1% (barely above inflation!)
PB: 20% (51/-)

The story they are selling:

- Large losses in 4Q2022. Again. Same story in 4Q20 and 4Q21
- Expansion of branches
- "Digital Bank"

The reality is that DTB has done wrong by its shareholders.

Same dilemma ie the price is so low and one needs to absorb the loss and consider it as a potential "new" investment.

There is something very wrong with their asset deployment, loans and government paper are more than Absa but they can't touch Absa on Interest Income, what is eating what?
