Commendable business operations considering environment, and half year results.

Revenue up 28%
Dividend of 1.35

Considering no of shares went up 23%, doesn't there seem to be an issue with the stated EPS in the results?

@stocksmaster pls expound https://www.nse.co.ke/listed-com...-ltd-end-of-year-results

Oh got it. Seems TPSE shareholders on 11-Jan-2013 approved acquisition of TPS Uganda by swapping TPSE 34m shares for a 79% interest.

So for 2013 results
Increase in attributable profit 17.9%
Increase in shares 22.9%
Decline in EPS (4%)

@Aguy, Are you not worried of terrorism effects on travel/tourism numbers? Things are getting thick and thicker going forward.

The conference and business travel sector is most lucrative for now which is why hotels are being put up in in the major cities but it is hard to satisfy demand. In Nairobi we Hemingways, Kempiski, Panari, Sankara, crown, East end, Ole sereni, Pride inns and others put up in the last 10 years yet village market want to build a 5B hotel. Conferences and business travel pay better than packaged tours. In the short term, lodges will suffer but TPS is wise to diversify in the major cities and increase rooms in Nairobi.

@mkyeid. follow the money. Tps revenue and profits increased almost 30% in a year where general elections caused slow business.

international hotel chains as sparkly has mentioned are busy putting up hotels in the country. Nairobi is a business,political hub so makes sense.

the security threats are worrying, but the tourists are still coming and will continue. unless the security degrades to very low levels

Actually, even if security degrades to very low levels, there will always be business especially in town hotels.
Look, for instance, how Kofi Annan and a whole load of international mediators camped for weeks at the Nairobi Serena Hotel when security in Kenya was at the brink.

A hard stock proposition usually has the best returns in the long run smile

Very few can see the value of TPS as the noise and smoke clouds decision. I loaded on Mpesa bank with similar noise back in 2012. My only issue with TPS is the illiquid volumes Sad

@Aguy the demand for beds space in Nairobi is so high that owners of serviced apartments on Ngong rd and westlands are overwhelmed. Serviced apartments have traditionally bridged the gap between demand and supply of hotel rooms. There is a frantic race to develop serviced apartments.
