Liberty Kenya Holdings Limited was the top gainer at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). The counter registered a gain of 9.78% to end the day at KES 25.25. This was a KES 2.25 gain in share price.
Crown Paints was the second top gainer at the exchange. The counter registered a gain of 9.42% to end the day at KES 151.00. This is a KES 13.00 gain in share price.
Crown Paints last week led the gainers at the stock market on the back of a bonus share issue announcement. It continues to perform well at the start of this week despite the recent release of its disappointing full-year 2014 results which saw net profit drop by a massive 91 per cent to Sh19.7 million compared to Sh213.8 million in 2013.
High operating expenses incurred on its regional expansion drive pulled down the paints manufacturer’s earnings, but the announcement of a bonus issue last Monday set investors searching for the stock.
