Anyone buying kengen must calculate the amount of cash for his purchase and set aside money to defend his rights...there however exists a window of quick gain if a miracle halts the rights. "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

With a general bear starting at the NSE, reduced EPS of 1.29 and looming Rights issue, you are advised to keep your cheque book on hold. This thing will smell 7 bob soon. Life is short. Live passionately.

A company is required to issue a warning if it anticipates that it financial performance is going to drop by more than 25%. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

A company is required to issue a warning if it anticipates that it financial performance is going to drop by more than 25%. there is an article in the star newspaper which I don't know where they got their results from! I think that has misled someone. '' KenGen stock plummets after profit dips SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2014 - 00:00 -- BY JAMES WAITHAKA KenGen’s share price at the NSE shed 11.2 per cent on Friday to close at Sh11.50 a piece from the previous day’s close of Sh12.95 after its net profit nearly halved. Supply was twice the demand at 1.72 million units on the sell-side against 827,000 units on the buy- side. The electricity generator’s after-tax profit for the period ended June 30 plummeted to Sh2.83 billion from Sh5.23 billion in the previous year, a 45.9 per cent decline.'' There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

Our CMA being who they are, I'm sure they were not specific if the rule applies to PAT or PBT! Kengen's PBT rose marginally but PAT dropped due to lapse in tax breaks. Don't be suprised if CMA didn't anticipate such a scenario. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Just like saying profit before lease payment, salaries, expenses @murchr, yeah I remember a tax credit of Kshs. 1,197 Million. How does that cancel out requirement for a profit warning?

I think it was assumed that since the jump in profit last year was a one off event then there was no need of declaring a profit warning. If anything last years PBT went down. My issue is that since they need the cash, they shouldn't have given dividends. a bonus would do "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

@VituVingiSana There is nothing to warrant a profit issue warning. There was no more than 25% drop in the trading profits. Growth was a 3.3%. Tax credits are one off things which today they will be there and tomorrow missing Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Tax credits are one off things which today they will be there and tomorrow missing Reading Capital Markets (Securities)(Public Offers, Listing and Disclosure) Regulations, 2002 A profit warning should be issued in all cases where there is more than a 25% decline in earnings, which no exceptions.

The advantage utilities have is they can attract massive loans/leveraging since their cashflow is better than many businesses. The problem is the cost of the leveraging. In Kenya, when GoK give you 11% [tax-free] why would you take less than 14% pre-tax? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
