Anzeni kufanya hesabu!!!
safcom has 40billion shares,it needs to make 40billion profit after tax to have 1bob earnings per share,of this 1bob you want to say it will part with 90cts,.....this is a dream
Remember they did Sh31.9 billion PAT in 2014/15
so you suggest they have added 8.1 billion more and are willing to pay 90% as dividend?
They paid 64cts in FY15 which was a 36% rise. 90cts will just be a 40% rise. Will that be impossible? I dont think so, it will all depend on the results
that one off gvt security contract must have boosted them but the share price is making the dividend less attractive for those buying now,attractiveness is now pegged on future prospects and safcom has an uphill task to keep the growth momentum without declining ,a growing company needs to retain at least 50% of earnings as cash reserves
As of May last year, Safaricom had Kshs. 27.5 Billion in cash reserves. You want them to hoard cash like Apple?? For no good reason?
Even an average company should have at least a 5 year plan which includes cash requirements projections. Safaricom of course have plans in place and know how much they need and how much projected earnings are over a period of time.
You don't just hoard cash for the sake of hoarding. And there is a difference between a telecom like Safcom and an investment company (which needs all the cash they can get because they can invest in anything!!) You had been warned! See post #197I posted that three months ago!
I told you hii retained earnings tutapewa coz given Safaricom's business model, they did not need all that cash!
I hate to tell you I told you so, but I told you so!!! And the news is better than I expected!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
