[NOTE: As of August 3rd, 2023, and going back many months, a total of 56 active counters could be tracked on NSE's electronic Trading Floor-cum-Platform. In updating the count, Unashig excluded the following seven counters due to their lack of detectable, or regular, activity on the platform: Homeboyz, Uchumi, KPLC (two Preference Share categories), Kurwitu, Kenya Airways, and Mumias Sugar Company. Some of them are officially suspended].
*** KES1,663.96 (US$11.33) is CBshare's new trading price. It will hold until 5:00 PM, Monday, September 18th, 2023. As is the practice at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), and in keeping with Unashig's pegging principle, a buyer will need to add to the stated price the standard stock trading charges that apply at the NSE -- that is, 3.55% of the price of each CBshare bought (up to 9 CBshares in one day's transaction).
Unashig's market capitalization recorded a 0.23% gain over yesterday's level, It closed at KES5,779,932.39 (or US$39,372.84, at today's rate).
YTD (Year-To-Date), the price of a CBshare is 12.28% lower. Unashig's market capitalization is down as well (-9.92%). Market capitalization at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, as a whole, has, however, pared some loss to close at -21.72%, YTD.
Looking farther back to end-of-year 2021 -- when it closed at KES7,515,735.50 -- Unashig's market capitalization is down 23.11% today. Market capitalization at the NSE, as a whole, has remained unchanged at -39.69%.

SHAREHOLDERS ARE REMINDED THAT While share trading is not Unashig's core business, it is an important aspect of an enterprise such as ours. Unashig is a limited liability company registered under Kenya's Companies Act. It is wholly owned by its registered shareholders, currently numbering 249. Investing the amounts generated through the periodic sale of issued CBshares in dividend/income-generating ventures is a prudent and indeed surer way of growing the company. Surer, certainly, than spending it on routine office activities. The average number of CBshares held per shareholder remains very low, however. This is not conducive to rapid capital/asset growth, or the generation of substantial and distributable dividend income. For over 12 months, the value of our CBshare has proven that Unashig's investment decisions continue to be competitive with, and quite frequently superior to, those pegged on the trajectory of any, or often all, of the three active NSE indices.
