@VVS, arc. Nice input. I'm in that dilemma for a long time. What draws me to the 3 is the management and as @VVS put it conservative growth. I had put a peg of 150 for DTB that did not materialise. After the bonus and rally from 180, I should probably have pulled the trigger like @arc. It was starting to tempt me at 180.

I&M in my mind is so similar to DTB in the the good qualities.. Which makes it hard to separate the 2. I M has also become very visible of late and is clearly going for the retail market.

Nic is the most fairly valued on a pe and p/b using current market price and is where I have dived in. There's only drawback being less regional footprint.

It's only a matter of time for these 3 to be become highly profitable as financial penetration deepens. I think Dtb currently has the x factor. Very confusing


@VVS,

Nice piece. I have never looked at I&M. I have been following DTB and NIC. Dived into NIC lately. Will consolidate NIC. I have been to their branches in Uganda and like their service.

I am in KCB for long haul and in Equity following James Mwangi's passion.

I'm conflicted as follows. I want to hold 3 banking counters. Two tier 1. Kcb, equity. And one tier 2. Nic or Dtb or I M.

Or one tier 1 and two tier 2. But this seems abit risky.

Equity is a no brainer in both cases. Between kcb, nic, Dtb, I M. Which 2 should I pick??

I've already started buying nic and kcb below 40. But I'm still undecided. It's really confusing

After FY 2015, and after the accounting treatment of NPLs, I am leery of KCB. It remains a favorite of foreign investors but I'd rather be in a firm that foreign investors have not discovered.

Equity - Mwangi & the x-factor. I remain a fan. DRC. Mobile Banking.

NIC - The NPLs are SCARY. Have a look. They doubled from 7 to 14bn. If these NPLs aren't restructured or start performing then the Provisions [a low Provisions to NPLs ratio] will need to be bumped up by a huge margin.

DTB - What more is there to say? [I don't see it as an acquisition target due to the Aga Khan ownership & community ties]

I&M - A core holding for me. Profits have performed. Price has not. I am a-OK with that. My gut feeling is that of all the Tier 2 banks, I&M is one that could be acquired for its 'smallish but wealthy' client base, geographic footprint and clean loan book.

Brilliant. That will certainly help. Let me dig into the results of all of them. DTB and I M, ticks more boxes than kcb, nic. Though I consider all good future investments. Thanks

@vvs knows very little about banking so I will take the liberty of answering on his behalf! Equity can only achieve massive mobile success in Kenya. Even UG and TZ have refused to catch the 'mpesa' buzz.. Its a Kenyan thing for now. And to make matters worse, the tie up between KCB &SCOM has left the brown bank naked.. They will survive though.. But KCB will be head and shoulders above

Yes.
Equity released a 'roadmap' called Equity 3.0 2-3 years ago. And "Mobile" was the CORE of 3.0 that provided a cheaper channel for MOST of their customers.

Mwangi said that not all [Corporate] customers can migrate to Mobile but most of the retail customers can move most of their banking needs online/mobile [supplemented by agents/ATMs] and the branches become 'Sales Centers' for cross-selling, etc.

Airtel - It can be used to piggyback Equitel into different markets. Airtel is present in UG, TZ, RW where Equity has a presence. All Equity needs to do is tweak the menu for each market. Of course, it is not as easy as that but Equity is up to the task.
