Just like the banks announcing last year super results & Q1 glossy results, they still got sold. KK will experience the same in coming weeks. Money has already been made. Buy the rumour, sell the news... I have been thinking about your statement on KK,i studied the chart. its the bitter truth but its true. the reason the price was pushed up is because they knew about the ID, a 50% growth alone cant move anything in this current market. look at HFCK 70 something odd percent and it didnt even twitch.........they knew.........
The question of why NSE companies post stellar growth and the share price fails to respond has been debated ad infinitum on Wazua.
I have pondered the question a lot and developed an hypothesis.
Investors on the NSE seem to expect that most listed companies will either go regional, grow inorganically through acquisitions, or organically through reinvestment. This thinking is actually supported by recent investments by EABL in Serengeti Breweries, Kenol Kobil's Africa expansion, Scangroups forays into the continent, Safaricom's regular investments to updgrage her network, Equity & KCB Banks' regional expansion etc. In summary, one of the assumptions of the perfect/free market hypothesis (that all players in the market have perfect information), and the expectations theory, to a large extent determines the actions of players on the NSE. Kenya=country in growth stage with a lot of focuse on the region and therefore companies are no longer willing to pay the huge dividends of yester year. As an investor, this kind of news is welcome. As a trader (day trader), selection of stocks for short term gains becomes more complicated, but not impossible
