Transcentury is a laggard. They seem unable to execute and their strategy doesn't seem to make much sense. Now they want to focus on energy and what if Tullow decides that they won't start oil production after all? Or the oil prospecting gets court up in a court battle?

Boss, do you know what "ENERGY/POWER" means in TransCentury's context?

E.A Cable, TANELEC, Cableries du Congo, etc. Sio PETROLI au DIESEL!

Their business with Tullow falls under Civicon, which is "ENGINEERING"/Construction Division.

Totally misguided sale IMHO. Maybe TC doesn't have the financial stamina. The Energy sector inawenyewe. Whoever gets the rail cargo right will hit a jackpot. And the business will grow exponentially. Logically.
But I guess investors will cheer the 10-20% return.


I totally agree with you.TC sold its share bcoz the money needed to Make RVR a viable business is humongous....very few countries have the kind of locomotives we have most migrated to SGR long time ago...I hear Tanzania is about to complete their own.

I think Citadel have the financial muscle to invest without encumbrances that comes with partnership....TC was a burden to citadel and IMHO it is good riddance.

The transaction has led to a 500m loss in their books.. Until they do something with the cash its all about a free fall!

Maybe because it's been revealed they took a possible Ksh500m hit from the sale of their RVR stake to Citadel. Unfortunately today RINK provider, BD website, hasn't been updated.

What did they sell the 34% for? That's the million $ question...

Was Tranny under any pressure to sell?
NO
So, could they have sold at a price not favourable to them?
NO
Is Citadel Group just raising EGP8B (Approx. USD2.5B) for acquisitions (By 8th April 2014)?
YES
Do we really have to wait for the exact figures to know that Tranny have just KILLED IT!?
NO

It still doesn't answer the question. How much?

It's 6bn.
Wow! 6bn seems high. I thought I read $38mn from Citadel's press release.
