Though 20% of my stake is Equity Bank Shares i might reconsider pumping up and buy,more of this stock and accumulate up to 50k soon or later ,although the price may be on higher end.. this is after I considered and ruled out buying more of KCB right of shares,this is based ON comparison between KCB (RIGHTS OF SHARE@ Ksh17 cheaper but upwards trend slow..While Equity may be expensive @Ksh 24 but based on facts about growth the upwards trend its more certain. upwards trend is more likely promising faster.This is just my opinion. My fellow colleagues in this business whats your opinion???

wanyina, nice move. But it would be best if you held it for the medium to long term, lets say, not less than 5 years

@wanyina do your research. Remember there are no great companies, just great investments. Don't be caught like those guys who bought equity at 340 coz they are still licking their wounds, and will do so for very long. Anyway i think kcb at 17 is a superbuy.

wanyina... do you define your portfolio based on short term results? That's quite a big decision adjusting equity up based on quarterly earnings..
Portfolio analysis must be a full time job for you uh?
Anyway.. KCB is on way down.. share trading @ 17 cum right 2 days to closure..every day it goes down..it packs in more value..based on already reported accounts and current pricing..

equity..it would be wise to note their ug branch lost em Kshs600M and southern sudan did not do that well either..eventually slugging regional attempts will be too heavy for domestic market to support like it has done this time round.. just a caution as you adjust your portfolio..

wanyina. I believe the question you should be asking yourself is, 'Do I want to be holding the Equity share when Uganda breaks even?'

KCB in my opinion is packing more value than equity... From the point of view of par value, P/E, N.A.V, with KCB uganda and sudan breaking even this month....

KCB is a huge bank but with great inefficiencies.It is just the other day that we had the Triton Saga and we hope they recover some of the funds. That not withstanding their cost to income ratio is on the higher side.

Equity on the other hand seems to be containing its costs and they are not short of innovation. Well, at current prices it is kind of high, so why not look for another bank that is not KCB?
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

In terms of performance of the Companies (not shares)...

Kenol is to Equity what Total is to KCB...
