      How to buy is via a licensed stockbroker. You can see them on NSE's website here nse.co.ke/...firms/firms.html. Officially, the minimum you can buy is 100 shares.

    Hi

    Why DBT Shares Price gone down from starting of 2020 ?

      I'm not sure but I think the Ugandan scandal has something to do with it. Regardless the company's first-half financial results were very poor. That didn't help either.

    KCB Share Price Dynamics & Strategic Investor Action Plan

    By Dedan Maina – Investment Consultant & Growth Strategist


    1. Pre-Announcement Dip: The Profit-Taking Calculus

    The moderate dip in KCB’s share price ahead of its FY 2024 results aligns with a classic “sell the news” strategy deployed by seasoned institutional investors. Here’s the breakdown:
    - Risk Mitigation: Institutions often lock in gains before* high-impact events (like earnings announcements) to avoid volatility. KCB’s share price had rallied to a 12-month high in Q4 2023, creating a prime exit window for profit-taking.

    - Market Psychology: Fear of underperformance drives preemptive selling. If results fell short, post-announcement panic could erase gains. Institutions prioritized capital preservation over speculative upside.
    - Liquidity Dynamics: Large sell-offs by funds can trigger short-term price erosion, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy as retail investors follow suit.

    2. Post-Results Dip: The Dividend Expectation Gap
    Despite strong FY 2024 results, the sustained dip reflects a sentiment-driven market reaction:

    - Dividend Yield Sensitivity: Investors anticipated a higher payout ratio (e.g., 30–40% vs. the declared 25%). KCB’s focus on capital retention (for loan loss provisions or regional expansion) clashed with income-seeking shareholders’ expectations.
    - Overreaction to Guidance: Markets often price in results before announcements. The “great results” were likely already factored into the pre-dip valuation, leaving little room for upside surprise.
    - Technical Resistance: The post-announcement dip may reflect a breach of key support levels, triggering algorithmic sell-offs and margin calls.

    3. Strategic Investor Playbook: Capitalizing on Mispricing
    For disciplined investors, this dip represents a value accumulation opportunity:

    1. Fundamentals Over Noise: KCB’s results (e.g., ROE of 18%, NPL ratio stabilization, and 22% revenue growth in its Ethiopian subsidiary) signal robust long-term health. Short-term sentiment ≠ intrinsic value.

    2. Dividend Reinvestment: Lower payouts today could amplify growth tomorrow. Strategic investors should leverage dividend cuts as a reinvestment catalyst (e.g., KCB’s digital banking rollout).

    3. Dollar-Cost Averaging: Accumulate shares incrementally during dips to minimize timing risk.

    4. Horizon Alignment: Focus on 3–5-year metrics—regional expansion, asset quality, and tech adoption—not quarterly dividend hiccups.

    Final Insight:

    Market volatility is a tax on impatience and a reward for clarity. KCB’s structural strengths (pan-African footprint, liquidity buffers, and digital dominance) outweigh transient sentiment shifts. Strategic investors buy when others hesitate.
