If next loss announcement broadens further, it'll stir status quo of kes 4.5 by sending jitters amongst Wanjiko who would impulsively let it go on a free fall. Recall it is you to obey the law of gravity; however, if the law of gravity obeys you it is news. The price resistant at kes 4.5 is normal because some guys bought the share expensively and are expecting a reverse in performance which is not forth coming in the next 18 months. Finally the kes 4.5 floor will be broken, as some investors and a handful of speculators will grow impatient on government much awaited bailout, to unveil what is inside ground level.
@Spikes let me give you a basic schooling on how to value asssets.
Value of asset:ADD all foreseeable future incomes TO the expected terminal value of the asset AND discount all to the present value.
The market is saying that if you buy KQ today and hold till Jesus comes back, you will have made KShs 4.50 (give or take a few cents) in today's cash equivalent.
What you are telling us is that by the time Christ come back, you can only make KShs 2.
Thanks @sparkly some schooling was needed right there.. :)
Well, I think @Spikes is optimistic. I value KQ shares in its current form [ceteris paribus] at zero.
1) There is
no future income/profit expected for 18 months even by the ever optimistic @Obiero. It will take many years after that for profits to build up to decent levels.
2) The
expected terminal value [based on today's NAV] is negative for many years. If anything, the hole gets deeper every month. [And there's the real possibility of 'dilution' by a sale of shares to a strategic partner. See ARM].
3) The
current discount rate is 15% [I am using the 9-year IFB as my benchmark].
Let @Obiero provide the data as required and @Sparkly can do the maths for our benefit to find NPV.
Happy Holidays!
