Any idea how large esp Stanbic.
I guess ARM going down would mean VCB's "zero NPLs" might no longer be the case!

Expanding too fast using debt is dangerous. [I am excluding banks coz their business is acquiring "debt" (deposits)]
KQ
ARM
Uchumi
Nakumatt
KPLC (Debt:Equity Conversion as a bailout by GoK)
KenGen (Debt:Equity Conversion as a bailout by GoK)
KK (under Segman acquired underperforming foreign assets - TZ, DRC and Ethiopia - using significant debt)
Airtel
EABL
HAFR
Unga (took on debt, and sold profitable Bullpak, to buy the piece of crap Ennsvalley from the Ndegwas. A disaster.)

and many more!

Low debt:equity firms:
Safaricom (has expanded using little debt vis-a-vis its cashflows)
BAT
KenRe (so far)
Jubilee
Nation (even with its recent woes affecting many media houses all over the world it is still profitable)

Good luck to ARM. I do hope it survives!

I wonder if Stanbic has provided for the ARM loan. That's a huge exposure. On the other hand, Stanbic may have decent collateral and will be a-OK.

Wanjiku panic causing this mess. I dont think the institutional and big investors who own about 85% of ARM are making these outrageous sales.


Capitulation has set in and 1 bob is on the way.Whales will begin dumping at monumental losses. The so called big investors will dump and run KQ style.
