@horton You are entitled to your opinion.. so i give up trying to get through to you...

but i think one last piece of advice will do... markets reflect upcoming events for a company in the share price... if whats coming is positve shares rise, if whats coming is negative shares fall.. that said, KPLC is up more than 22%since 26th FEB....

I suggest you find out whats not working with your "complicated" arithmetic..

All im saying is when companies convert pref to common, they have something called a conversion ratio and that is what we dont know.

And

Well thanks but no thanks!!

I dont believe markets are "perfect" as you put it! im not a "mere speculator" that rides on market sentiments! Thats pure herd mentality

Thanks and goodluck

@horton if this were "herd mentality" then this stock would have crashed because most investors are thinking like you...

the guys entering this stock are not "speculators" but simply investors who have full knowledge on GOKs intentions for the copmany...

i dont know a single broker or analyst who wouldnt suggest this company to their client...

oh yeah and by the way the 3sh dividend paid was an interim not a final dividend...

good luck to you too!!!

Okay genuine appreciation guys. So from the aforegoing:
--Gov will continue holding big percentage of KPLC in near future
--Gov will need to sell off holding in near future
--Stock has one of the lowest PEs at the moment
--Stock will continue to make profits; though marginal due to outside pressure

My conclusion: Can offer good return; but higer risk. @mkonomtupu approach of taking stock as speculative makes sense for me.

@horton can any other company with an abundance of resources compete successfully with it?

I think for sure, as personally, KPLC is very inefficiently run. from unreliable power supplies to poor emergency services. Infact this brings up a pretty good question, if a company, hypothetically e-on or someone setup shop in Kenya as a direct competitor to KPLC and slash the over-inflated bills, these guys would go out of business pretty quick.

Since independence only something like 20% of the country has power!!

Have u been to the coast of late?? Power fluctuations are just out of control. Compared to even 3rd world countries, eg ghana, senegal KPLC is not yet up to speed.

PS: this is a monopoly by default not because of competitve advantage

@Horton more than one utility provider in a small country like kenya would cause much greater inefficiency...

KPLC is really doing alot to improve and fix this problem....
