Looks pretty cheap at 1st glance if you asked me..


They split one share into five shares, effectively reducing the unit price. That will auger well with wanjiku

Longhorn Kenya CEO to retire year-end after publishing firm listing

However, she will still have financial links tethered to Longhorn since her shareholding will be locked in for a two-year period after the shares are listed on the stock market. she has 649,770 shares or a 1.1 per cent shareholding of the company. Operations manager, David Omuruli, who has a 1.5 per cent stake or 870,000 shares, will also have his shares locked for the same period. Mr Omuruli joined the company in 1986 as a sales representative and was promoted to operations manager in 1996.

Longhorn Kenya Ltd., the educational publisher that will be listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange on May 30, said full-year profit surged more than fivefold to 136.3 million shillings ($1.59 million).

Sales jumped to 1.1 billion shillings in the 12 months through June 2011 from 526.9 million shillings a year earlier, the Nairobi-based company said in an e-mailed prospectus in Kenya’s capital today.

“This remarkable growth was attributed to huge export sales into the Rwanda market,” Longhorn said.

The company, which has units in Uganda and Tanzania, plans to issue 58.5 million shares at 14 shillings each. They will be listed by introduction, meaning Longhorn won’t raise new capital.


>>> Is there something unsettling that sales jump 2x & profits jump 5x the prior year on just one order & just before the Listing. I am going to read the IM but I am staying out for now.

SA's publishing industry had better prepare for deep and dire straits if the ANC's plan to nationalise the production of textbooks goes ahead.

Rwanda is emerging as the less riskier version of SS cash cow

However, Tanzania is a different story. Longhorn entered Tanzania in May 2005 but they have been making losses in all the history we know!!! They should just close that bloody shop like Deacons did after making losses for 5 years

Today's BD article on Longhorn is creepy. It says a stock on listing can go down more than 10%, which is true as per the rules. But why ignore stating the same about the upside. Bizarro reporting from BD. Seems the silent signal is a drop from 14/- before it finds its feet...
