Loss making companies at the NSE

Maybe we need a quick reference point for all the listed companies currently in loss territory.. Here they are: arm, cables, cargeneral, deacons, eapc, eveready, express, ftg, hal, kapch, kurwitu, kq, limuru, mumias, olympia, sameer, uchumi, umeme, wtk If you ask me, these are many companies for the number of listed companies at the NSE. More reason to support the exchange bar theory that less than 20 listed firms make the cut as viable investments

Towards the goal of financial freedom

If you ask me, these are many companies for the number of listed companies at the NSE. More reason to support the exchange bar theory that less than 20 listed firms make the cut as viable investments Agriculturals on the list can be forgiven since their business is cyclical depending on 1). weather both locally and in competitor nations 2). exchange rates 3). Labour and industrial action. They have learnt to deal with the ups and downs by accumulating reserves as well sitting on huge tracts of land. Life is short. Live passionately.

I don't think most agricultural firms have made losses for 5 years running. I know Kakuzi, Williamson and Kapchorua have made both profits and losses since 2012. Greedy when others are fearful.

More reason to support the exchange bar theory that less than 20 listed firms make the cut as viable investments Flame Tree made a profit of Ksh. 40 million, if memory serves me right. Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.

You know FULL WELL Eveready declared a roaring profit for the most recent financial year. They even paid a juicy dividend that approximated to almost a whopping 50% of the value of the stock! Yaani we recovered half our monies overnight. One can argue till the cows come home HOW the profit was achieved, but unless someone repeals the definition of a profit, EVRD came through in spades.

Which one is the biggest giant of the loss making companies, is it kurwitu?  In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

In relation to the size of its business, it could proportionally be the biggest loss making entity at the NSE. It's either Kurwitu or HAL.. For more context, MSC or KQ could make a loss of KES 1B and the same would be mentioned as a minor slip into the red, while other firms could close shop! Like KQ has losses totaling to KES 82.6B over the last five years and its still operational, with an operating profit!

Relative to size KQ loss is a profit. Exactly! Like if GoK lost KES 100B in a financial year to the normal corrupt cartels.. Kenya would still operate like nothing happened! That's KQ, the Pride of Africa which is expected to post its first profit in 5 years, during H1 2018
