Equity will certainly continue on its profitability path, although I think the market reaction to its M-Kesho announcement was too optimistic. I would like to see concrete numbers coming in before I make a strategic decision.

When an investor waits to see the results and these are announced, the share price will zoom to new hights and will be out of reach. If you believe it in, buy now..

I find that @yekekeye defense on Equity childish and lame. Are you JM's kin?

Equity is too much smoke. No one can quantify the fire yet. When you look at profitability, please consider:
1. The bank still masquerade as a microfinance institution, and receive grants from donors. Is that usually accounted as profit?
2. Mkesho is benefiting safaricom more than equity. The stock to consider in light of mkesho is safaricom.
3. @yekkeye do you hold an account with equity? Its achille's heel shall be the poor, obstinate customer service. I am/ was amember (now dormant)i know what am talking about.
4. Try doing business with equity. You'll be amazed at the level of indiscretion and concentration of decision making at one person. Ending up with mundane solutions. Again, talking from experience.
5. Look at Equity's top management 2 yrs ago, last year and this year. Constant changes. Either the bank does not know how to recruit, or working there makes one an instant millionaire and after 1 year people retire. Is that a stable bank?
6. @yekekeyee believes what CEO says, what newspapers say. Too gullible for Wazua. WeWE NDIO BURE KABISA

P, what do you mean by Equity is too much smoke? Brilliant results and growth since its listing na bado hauamini? It has been said before and we will not tire of saying it: Majority of kenyans are poor. Maskini hohe! hahe! Mafukara! Have you ever asked yourself why the majority of them bank by Equity. Pure chance? I don't think so. Plus banking the poor is BOOMING BUSINESS. These guys have won accolades all over the world. JM sits on distuingished boards such as The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He also shared an award with the Pakistani Nobel Laureate Mohammed Yunus. So he must be doing something right. Plus your assumption that Safaricom will gain more from M-Kesho is wrong. Equity will get more deposits. And if you say yekeyeke believes everything the papers say, then are we also to start doubting the 21 billion profit that safaricom made? That it was too much?

Equity report on Tuesday,will be robust.I regret it has caught me out.
