As we can see our net gain stands at a modest KES 100 as compared to the KES 440 gain we observed the day before. This is because of a drop in the prices of the following shares:

  • Mumias Sugar Company: this fell by 5 cents to close at KES 5.70 per share. This drop resulted in a portfolio loss of KES 135.
  • Housing Finance: the share dropped a massive 3.354% to close at KES 15.85 per share. This hit our portfolio hard resulting in a portfolio loss of KES 605.
  • Kengen Limited: the share fell by 5 cents to close at KES 8.35. This contributed KES 35 to our total portfolio loss.
  • Uchumi Supermarkets: this is a share we had hope in however it slipped 1.292% to close at KES 19.10 a share. Because of the relatively large number of shares we hold, this contributed KES 375 to our total portfolio loss.

The only share in our portfolio that appreciated was Crown Berger, it gained 4.81% to close at KES 27.25 a share. This resulted in a portfolio gain of KES 1250. The gain and the loss led to a net gain of KES 100.
