Anyone buying kengen must calculate the amount of cash for his purchase and set aside money to defend his rights...there however exists a window of quick gain if a miracle halts the rights.

I averaged up yesterday hoping to ride to 15 only for the poor show to spoil the party. Assessing the possibility of accumulating more this laggard.


Incidentally i also averaged up yesterday and I will be accumulating more as the soft-hearted fall off.

With a general bear starting at the NSE, reduced EPS of 1.29 and looming Rights issue, you are advised to keep your cheque book on hold. This thing will smell 7 bob soon.

Seriousl!?? Why would there be a profit warning???? To warn people that the profit will increase by 3.3%??

A company is required to issue a warning if it anticipates that it financial performance is going to drop by more than 25%.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

there is an article in the star newspaper which I don't know where they got their results from! I think that has misled someone.
'' KenGen stock plummets after profit dips
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2014 - 00:00 -- BY
JAMES WAITHAKA
KenGen’s share price at the NSE shed 11.2 per
cent on Friday to close at Sh11.50 a piece from
the previous day’s close of Sh12.95 after its net
profit nearly halved.
Supply was twice the demand at 1.72 million units
on the sell-side against 827,000 units on the buy-
side.
The electricity generator’s after-tax profit for the
period ended June 30 plummeted to Sh2.83 billion
from Sh5.23 billion in the previous year, a 45.9
per cent decline.''

The PAT declined to Kshs. 2,827 Million from Kshs. 5,225 Million of the previous year. That's more than 25% drop, right?

That's a tricky one! Our CMA being who they are, I'm sure they were not specific if the rule applies to PAT or PBT!

Kengen's PBT rose marginally but PAT dropped due to lapse in tax breaks. Don't be suprised if CMA didn't anticipate such a scenario.
