[There was no trading yesterday since Monday, January 2nd, was a public holiday]

NSE 25 Index closed this first trading day of the new year at the top, with its performance recording a 0.15% gain. CBshare's ranking improved as well, from third to second, having closed with a 0.06% gain, and a price per share of  KES1,898.03 (or US$15.37, at the day's forex rate of KES123.50 per US$). Here's how the four indices stacked up:

1. NSE 25 Index: +0.15%

3. NSE 20 Index: -0.04%
4. NASI (NSE All-Share Index): -0.10%.  

Unashig's market capitalization gained 0.06% in value as well, to close at KES6,420,305.00 (or US$51,986.28). This is still lower than the level recorded on November 21st, 2022.









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.
