Analyst brief
An overall verdict on East African Portland Cement is withheld. The company's newest financial statement is 28 months old, and only 2 fiscal years of history are available — one fewer than required for stable scoring. These gaps constrain confidence in any forward-looking read. Within the available data: the company carries a loss in consecutive financial years, which zeros out profitability-based value scores and suppresses the quality pillar. The health pillar, supported by a 7 out of 9 F-Score, sits at a middling level; however, interest coverage has turned negative, signalling stress in debt servicing. Quality shows a net margin improvement of 7.1 percentage points over the observation window and revenue that never declined, yet current-year returns (ROE at -4.5%, ROA at -2.1%) remain deeply negative. Dividend scoring cannot engage — the company paid no dividend in either observed year.
PORT trades at 112.25 as of 2 November 2026. The earnings yield of -3.0% lies 12.0 percentage points below the 364-day T-bill rate of 9.03%, reflecting the loss-making position. Liquidity is thin, with median daily turnover around 188,271 Kenya shillings. The data-confidence grade is C, principled on the age of the latest statement and shortfall in historical depth. A fresh annual filing would reset the observation window and permit a full-strength verdict.
