Wazungus very cunning, so they exited everready through the IPO, knowing the company had a bleak future. Kenyan public was sold rotten mangos. They must have cooked the books seriously to dupe cma to allow them to list.
Chief, I read the prospectus & they were clear about the risks... yet MOST Kenyans refuse to read the Prospectus... then bitch!

You do know the over-subscription was MASSIVE for Neveready...?

@vvs, why an IPO? 1. To raise capital for expansion 2. Divest/take profit from a mature business 3. Divest from a business thats no longer worth it/viable if you can't sell it by private treaty... In the case of eveready, it was no. 3, and i am letting those who didn't know to know. You disagree?
My point is that if you had read the Neveready prospectus at the time... you could see the shit was going to hit the fan! Unless you were as daft as nyongo or did not read the prospectus...

There is still a big market for batteries that eveready are not tapping. However the Xiang hui seem to have beat them to it as they will soon open a lithium batt factory in Nakuru (in your face zain style) http://bit.ly/d4Qs5c

A quick look at the the company's fundamentals between 2005 and 2009 shows

+ sales fell by 27 per cent
+ net profit margin fell from a low 12 per cent to a meagre 2.5 per cent
+ EPS value fell from Ksh 0.9 to Ksh 0.14 (a massive 84 per cent decline)
+ DPS fell from Ksh 0.7 to nought

BUT

+ quick ratio remained steady at 0.6
+ gearing actually fell from 27 per cent to 16 per cent.
+ PE ratio stood at 30 in Sept. 2009 and today stands at a massive 46

There seems to be a disconnect between the company fundamentals and market fundamentals. A growth company is not necessarily a growth stock.
Evidently here a declining company (going by sales values) is proving to be a growth stock.

Lots of sentiment investors out there continuing to believe in the fortunes of this company.

The title of thread is just bs. You can't use fundamental and Everyday in the same sentence unless you are suggesting Everready harbours fundamentalists.

My earlier statement 'There seems to be a disconnect between the company fundamentals and market fundamentals' should actually have read '... a disconnect between the company fundamentals and market sentiment'.

On the backdrop that the company will be diversifying its product offer to include baby care products one wonders whether venturing into such an untested market only increases the company's risk profile.

Its 2009 report pitted short-term borrowings (read payable within a year) of Ksh 362 million against cash reserves of Ksh 62 million. I'd like to know how that was resolved. Thus significant financial risk for this company prevails in a declining market.

For some reason the market seems to have turned the proverbial blind eye.

@sparkly. I am actaully going by its PE ratios (a reflection of market sentiment regarding this particular stock) between '09 and '10 which has risen.

Stock price drop (as opposed to PE ratio) in that or any other period could have been down to an overall declining market (read recession or global financial crisis or bear market)affecting all stocks. This would be exemplified in a declining benchmark index as has been the case in the last two years.

Point being although Eveready stock may have declined over recent times it continues to post a healthy PE ratio which shows that investors continue to believe in the stock performance if not the company performance. Hence the statement a growth stock is not necessarily a growth company

The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

How low can this baby go? 2.50? Nothing good fundamentally with this company. Some guys are speculating in poor companies in the hope that they will be bought e.g hoping that some Chinese will pop up to 'save' Eveready (possible) But I feel that it would be a better choice to speculate on stronger well managed companies which could also be subject to a takeover e.g. HF, NBK. This way, if a takeover is not forthcoming, the company can still perform. Better than clinging on to cats down to their 9th life. By the way, the share has lost 25 p.c since this topic was started. Same as Mumias (2 worst price drops since Sep 3rd)

Its the high time they changed the name from Eveready to Daipeready. Its like a daiper which has been used and ready for disposal.

Happy to join this family.

TRUE! We can't even begin to compare the two. I was just alluding to the sharp drop in Panya's share price
