I remember once upon a time i downed innumerable guinesses (kubwas) @ 45bob at KBC, sitting on mawe... good part of town that was... a stones throw from Norfolk... nowadays when I can get a Tusker @ 130 I call it a good investment, like KCB @ 22.95!!!
Kwani USD/KES rates & inflation affect beer prices more than stocks?!?
EABL is selling less beer because of Mututho hours. To maintain the same level of profitability, they have to increase the unit price. Given that they are operating in a near monopolistic environment, that's easy to do. The other stuff they are telling us is rubbish.
Good Analogy: Airtel's model is low margins, high volumes. What happens if directly or indirectly the government limits the number of calls you can make in a day or total duration you can talk on your phone? Airtel will have no option but increase the unit price.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
