I have received several questions about buying Family Bank shares on the OTC segment before listing and all I can say is that the hype is not worth it:
At KES 20 per share and from Family bank's FY25 results:
Family bank trades at 1.02x book value and 5.08x earnings.
For comparison, the median banking stock from the listed 11 counters trades at 1.0x book value and 6.3x earnings.
For banks, the PB ratio is the most important as banks are mainly valued against their net assets.
Rather than buy family bank, I would rather buy Equity, KCB, I&M bank, BK Group, etc.( all these trade below their book values)
Moreover, even on asset quality, family bank has an NPL ratio of 15.23% while the median NPL ratio in the banking sector sits at 10.5%
And for dividends, Family bank paid a DPS of 1.20 KES in FY25, giving it a dividend yield of 6% which is also below the banking sector median yield of 7.42%
Lastly, when it comes to ROE, it also ranks below the banking sector median of 19.2% as it sits at 16.5%
Do note that my numbers are based on current prices as of 4th June 2026 and FY25 results.
Don't be driven by hype, let your financial decisions be backed by concrete data
