Liberty Kenya Holdings Limited continued to perform well and closed the day as the top gainer in the market. It ended the day at KES 23.00 having gained 9.52% (KES2.00) in its share price.
Transcentury Limited took the lead as being the worst performer in the exchange. The counter registered a drop of 9.09% to end the day at KES 14.00. This is a KES 1.40 loss per share.
Transcentury’s poor performance comes a few days after it announced a net loss of Sh2.28 billion last year from a profit of Sh626.43 million in 2013. They mainly attributed this to its exit from Kenya-Uganda railway and reduced income from non-core business activities.
Shareholders, who last year earned a Sh0.40 dividend per share, will go empty-handed this year.
Another significant happening at Transcentury is that businessman Jimnah Mbaru has exited the list of TransCentury’s top owners, marking the second time a significant founder shareholder of the investment firm has dropped from its list of major investors. Mr Mbaru had traded 9.4 million shares equivalent to a 3.3 per cent stake he previously held in the company.
