After four years, Homeboyz Entertainment seems to have ended the listing drought at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), becoming the first entertainment firm to join the bourse.
The listing by way of introduction came through the Growth Enterprise Market Segment (Gems).
Gems was set up in 2013, targeting small firms, but has since attracted only five such entities whose shares have been on a disappointing run and have largely failed to excite the market.
These are Home Afrika, Flame Tree Group, Kurwitu Ventures, Nairobi Business Ventures (NBV) and Atlas Development.
