Despite the huge dividend payout, Nigerian Breweries still has one of the lowest returns on average equity in the industry posting 4.5% and 7.6% in 2020 and 2021 respectively. A major factor for this is also the high level of retained earnings held by the company.

Nigerian Breweries has about N90 billion in retained earnings and another N77.4 billion in share premium taking its total shareholder’s equity to N171.8 billion.

However, most of the equity is locked up in property plants and equipment which the company is not sweating enough to generate the right returns. This is buttressed by a return on assets of just 2.7% in 2021.

Is Nigeria Breweries a buy?
