Hi wazuans. Could anyone please tell me any reason why Kenya power should not be trading at 7.00-8.00.
This may sound out rageous but hear me out.
Eps now stands at 1.17.
so it is currently trading at a PE of 11.8. We are in a bear market.
Kengen historically traded at high PEs above 10, which was eventually corrected by the market and now trades at a PE of 7-8. Its EPS is around 1.00.
Why would the market not eventually correct this high PE that Kenya Power is trading at?
Another company in the energy sector Kenol kobil is trading at a PE of 5.00. 11/2.2.
To add insult to injury, Kenya power is paying very low dividends. last year. 0.45/20 bob share price DPS of 2.25%. lets even calculate with current share price, assume end FY 2012 they pay total 0.3(0.2+0.1)/13.80. DPS is 2.2%.
Am I missing something here or should this company be trading at 7.00-8.00?
The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself
