Analyst brief
Crown Paints trades at 59.25 KES. Its value pillar ranks highest at 88, led by a P/B of 0.68 and a P/E of 8.5; the earnings yield of 11.8% sits 2.8 percentage points above the 364-day T-bill rate. Dividend scores 85, reflecting a payout ratio of 29% of earnings and dividend cover of 3.50×, though the yield stands at 3.4% — modest in absolute terms. Health scores 79, anchored on an F-Score that passed 3 of 3 observable signals, though interest coverage of 3.0× carries material debt-service risk. Quality, at 34, lags markedly: ROE of 8.0% and net margin of 4.4% both score poorly, and leverage stands at 1.40× debt-to-equity.
An overall verdict is withheld: the newest financial statement is 22 months old, and only one fiscal year of history exists where three are required. Momentum remains unscored—data has been building only since early July 2026. Liquidity is thin, with median daily turnover around 154,887 KES, representing 0.9 basis points of estimated market capitalisation. Confidence grades C. A fresh annual filing or interim statement would clarify whether current profitability and leverage trends persist. No risk flags are recorded in the dataset.
