Kenya Airways has reported a net profit of KES 384.0m in 1H14 from a loss of 4.8bn in 1H13. The improvement in performance was driven by a 9.0% y/y rise in revenues as well as an improvement in the company’s operating profit margin from -11.1% to 3.2% in 1H14. Direct costs declined 6.6% y/y despite the 9.0% y/y increase in revenues which resulted in a 1,021bps increase in the contribution margin to 31.4%. Overheads also declined 7.5% y/y to KES 9.4bn following the restructuring exercise last year. Net finance costs have increased 3 times to KES 726.0m largely due to acquisition of new airplanes during the period. (Source; Business Daily, Kestrel Research)

Is that the primary reason for the rise in the price?

I was wondering how the numbers will add up. Considering seat capacity and uptake year-on-year remained the same...
- a boon of 5b Kshs in revenue probably due to fuel surcharge
- add a little 450m from financing/derivatives
- profit before tax 548m

If trailing EPS is now 0.26 how far can the share price really go based on fundamentals?

This is likely to be a full year loss or same bottom line at best at year end. Post Westgate Cancellations and travel advisories are likely to undo 1st Half Results.

Tungoje tuone. Just disembarked from the bus and moving on to other stocks. It's been a great ride from the single digits.

Nicely done. I dis-embarked at high 13s. Never got back on. I have my wagon hitched to KK. That takeover/sale (or superlative performance) better happen sooner than later!

I hear you.......As for those who are yet to learn. KQ is a global company...it follows the trends of the other airlines. That was a relatively good year for aviation.

@hisah, have u seen the books? Any hedging?

@Obiero,

I hope you are happy now ?
For your joy to be full wait for a while do not jump boat too soon, think of exit circa 20 - 30 bob.
Those that bought KK low will also smile soon when it touches 10 bob and breaks barrier bearing in mind anticipated improved earnings.


Note:- I do not own KQ /KK shares and do not intend to buy now or in the future as I take those counters as too risky for the long term.

..for the first time since 2002... commendable change in Operating margins... now, how to make it sustainable..

..for all y'all Intelligent Investors..and O'Shaugnessy enthusiasts.. you will note KQ is a solid investment deal if it sustains growth of Operating Margins for 3 years.. making the share at current status rather risky since you cannot guarantee trajectory of operating margins.

..as stated back in 2010.. suitable..bankable operating margins ought to be atleast 12.5%...plus growing revenues..and less dividends..and slightly illiquid.. all this to ensure value for shareholders in the long run.

sigh. Naikuni leaving..the best news yet. smileWill for sure hold a minute of silence for this is second only to Moi handing over to Baba Jimmy. I'm quite a happy dude today.

..even so...KQ is quite an awesome speculation opportunity..until actual financial facts over next 2 years remain positive...which is unlikely...but price run might maintain thanks to greed and ignorance that larks over our bourse. I'm talking to those who regard "short - term" to mean 3 years..time to speculate away. smile
