No accounting needed โ here is each column explained simply, with an example and what counts as a good value.
How many shillings you pay for each 1 shilling of yearly profit.
๐ Example: P/E of 10 โ you pay KES 10 for every KES 1 the company earns a year (about 10 years of profit to earn back the price).
โ What's good: Under 10 = cheap (or troubled); 10โ20 = fair; over 25 = expensive (fast growth expected). Always compare within the same sector.
A high P/E is fine if profits grow fast. PEG divides the P/E by the growth rate to check that.
๐ Example: P/E of 20 but profits growing 20%/yr โ PEG = 1.0 (fairly priced).
โ What's good: Under 1.0 = attractively priced for its growth; around 1 = fair; over 2 = pricey.
Price versus the company's net worth on paper (assets minus debts) per share.
๐ Example: P/B of 1 = you pay exactly the company's book value; 2 = twice that.
โ What's good: Under 1 can be cheap (common for NSE banks); 1โ3 is typical; high = paying a premium for brand/growth.
The company's yearly profit split across each share โ the profit that 'belongs' to one share.
๐ Example: EPS of KES 5 โ each share earned 5 shillings this year. It's the 'E' in P/E.
โ What's good: Higher and rising year on year is better. Negative EPS = the company is losing money.
How much profit the company squeezes out of shareholders' money.
๐ Example: ROE of 20% โ for every KES 100 of shareholder money, it makes KES 20 profit a year.
โ What's good: 15โ20% = good; above 20% = excellent (check it's sustainable); below 10% = weak.
Out of every 100 shillings of sales, how many shillings become actual profit after ALL costs and taxes.
๐ Example: Net margin of 25% โ KES 25 profit from every KES 100 of sales.
โ What's good: 10%+ = solid; 20%+ = strong. It varies a lot by industry, so compare like with like.
How much the company has borrowed versus what shareholders own โ its debt load and risk.
๐ Example: D/E of 1.0 โ debt equals shareholder equity; 0.3 โ very little debt.
โ What's good: Under 0.5 = conservative/safe; 0.5โ1.5 = moderate; over 2 = risky. Banks naturally run higher.
How much total sales grew compared with a year ago โ is the business getting bigger?
๐ Example: +15% โ sales are 15% higher than last year; a red โ5% โ sales shrank.
โ What's good: 10%+ = healthy; flat is okay for a mature company; negative is a warning sign.
The yearly dividend as a percentage of the share price โ your income return just for holding it.
๐ Example: Yield of 6% โ KES 6 a year for every KES 100 invested.
โ What's good: 4โ8% is attractive on the NSE โ but confirm it's sustainable (see the Dividends page).
Our own transparent screen that blends value, quality, momentum, dividend and liquidity into one number.
๐ Example: 85 = strong across the board; 40 = weak. Higher means stronger on these factors overall.
โ What's good: A quick way to compare stocks at a glance โ it is a mechanical guide, NOT a recommendation to buy or sell.
