Especially when u claim it has genius genes that will kick in in about 3 years.

aiigh . now this is a monkey ? no this is a very good stock ad foreign interest is high . you think foreigners just buy things lik its a fis market ?

1,94Billion Shares..

Thus Historical Eps is Kshs1.82, and a Div per share of Kshs 0.35

At a share price of 14.00..this translates to a trailing p/e of 7.69 and not 1.83 as reported in press

..and a dividend yield of 2.5 and NOT 10.75%

..Going forward, profit warning projected fall of 25% on earnings thus EPS expected for 2011-12 is Kshs1.36 and thus at price of 14.00, p/e shoots up to 10.29..from 7.69

buy a stock whose year-on-year earnings growth is about twice the p/e ...the only justification of buying KQ is that it grows it's earnings for next year by AT LEAST 20.6%... which is unlikely.

If newspapers..business news.. wazua.. factored the new shares in the financial data they are publishing... potential investors will think differently..fundamentally

si hata Tanzanians n Ugandans are foreign investors? (no pun intended)

Anyway, seems strategy here is "buy" coz another is buying.. the art of "following the big money"..like guys did when meralli played Uchumi..

the strategy has its drawbacks..as proven by uchumi.. though if ur analysis for KQ is its a "buy" then the big money confirms ur opinion..

A guy insulted me about 4 years ago..for telling him not to buy Kq..at 113..it touched 126 within the month..and then came down all the way to 17...he still has the stock..having bought in at 119..and foreigners were buying.. ..somewhere in wazua is a thread on the same..

Something is not adding up in your figures.

How can you assume that the KQ would have generated the same revenue with so much additional shares/capital and borrowings.

How can you say that the company cannot grow by double digit yet its operations are doubling.
