Sh30bn airtime lending raises Safaricom profile in credit market

Mobile phone subscribers borrowed up to Sh30 billion worth of airtime or nearly a third of the total airtime Safaricom sold last year, underlining how critical telecoms operators have become in the credit market.

Equity Group grew its loan book by 50bn while KCB grew by 62bn for the full year 2015. Okoa Jahazi Bank is half way the amount of the big banks do. Remarkable

Explains why Equity chose to go with Equitel instead of being locked in with Safaricom.

Given that Safcom's take in okoa jahazi is just Kes 5 from 50/- credit....that amount is insane!

Hellios Telkom kenya will give safaricom a run for their money in the mobile business based on the way the company is being reorganised.
Airtel will either close shop or be sold to the highest bidder

Quite amazing mpesa bank is almost hitting 1 trillion in market cap and few wanjikus are not on board. The GFC bear and 2011 bear made wanjikus so negative to ever want to touch it. So when Wanjikus troop back in as the rocket phase kicks in, that will become one giant bubble of epic propositions...!!

I disagree. Wanjikus are outpriced here and have given up the chase. The shareholding has shifted from many weak hands to a few strong hands over the years as witnessed by the bid volume. Until institutionals change their bid behaviour I don't see how the price will crash. It's easier for price to race to KES 50 than to head to KES 10 unless an outlier event occurs.

The awkward moment when safcom is equal in worth to rest of the market combined. At 25bob a piece it will hit the trillion mark. Total market cap is a little over 2 trillion. With the rest of the stocks still limping/treading lower, the 50/50 sharing scenario is not that far out.

Still waiting for the divergence to resolve itself and the sooner it happens the better. If the bear run continues and safcom starts tanking sub 3000 points, a very swift fall awaits. A mixture of panic and fear perhaps...only fear is evident at current levels.

When wanjiku grows a craving for a piece of the safcom pie in the next bull phase they will be buying at a very steep premium and will get spanked once again.

Am assuming Wangekuwa is Wanjiku. Looks like my 19.8 bid hit too late. I won't chase.

Pesa8 What hisah is saying is that when Wanjiku will start chasing over that thin float the price will skyrocket creating a very big bubble.

Some statistics from the financial results 2016 is as follows:
*Return on equity- 32%
*EPS- kshs 0.95
*PER- kshs 22
*DPS- kshs 0.76
*Debt to equity ratio-36%
*Shareholders equity- kshs 116,738,947,000
*Retained earnings- kshs 82,052,204,000
*Current assets- kshs 159,182,485,000
*Current debts kshs 42,443,538,000
*Return on assets- 23%

BASED on this stats alone:
1.I wont understand any wazuan whose portfolio safaricom is absent
2.Safaricom knows how to manage debts.The debt quoted here is shorterm.They dont have any long term debts
3.Every wazuan must work hard to bring down his ABP.

@Ebenyo great work with the summary. I am looking to add more ex-dividend. I was thinking whether to jump in at 17 before it left the stage

My current ABP is 16.60.My entry price was 16.00.My current target buy price is 14.00.Im also waiting for ex-dividend to see how things will unfold.If i wont meet my target BP,i will adjust my ABP according to the price resistance level.

*Tend to think safaricom stability is much more pegged on its ability to make profits.The strength of its share price is heavily dependant on its profitability YoY.If anything crops up between,then the share price will suffer terribly.
*PE at kshs 22 is high but justified by good profitability.

Price has been coiling on massive volume since the exdiv gap down! Getting ready to launch! Those expecting the price to hit below 15 support level will be left chasing wind!

Target remains 23. @metaspoilt you had a target at 25. Let's see how things play out as we approach H1 in November.
