Care to explain
NBK before conversion of preference shares had a mkt cap of about sh.1.5bn and profit for 2018 was sh.7mn
Post conversion of the preference shares if price remains the same means the mkt cap will be about sh.6.7bn.
The PE will be nearly 1000.
Half of the loan book of NBK is bad debts.
At the current price of KCB of 40(rounded off) and given the number of issued shares to NBK shareholders the value is about ksh.5 9bn and Price to Earnings ratio of nearly 850.
