they dragged their feet when the market was bullish.


Yeah the rights issue will be a flop. Interesting times


insensitive management. they don't 'really' care. no skin in the game
The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Delay is becoming suspect... Somebody has a cash pile and wants to buy Kengen on the cheap.

Nairobi, Kenya, Jun 5 – The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has successfully drilled another set of geothermal wells in this country, further boosting Kenya’s quest to be self sufficient in electricity.
Three wells located within one pad with a total capacity of 33 megawatts, form one of Africa’s biggest well-pad which is located in the geothermal-rich Olkaria area.

The wells comes months after, KenGen had mid last year, struck 30MW from a single geothermal well, named OW-921 in the same field. The well was connected to the 140MW Olkaria IV project.

Moi and friends had just one constituency in mind. Themselves. That said, perhaps the technology to exploit geothermal was not as advanced as it is today.

141 billion rights issue may not be implemented at once as earlier stated. I am having a look at this counter and the profit growth in last two-three years is the best in NSE. The share has a forward PE of around 2. It is probably the cheapest stock currently at NSE. Evaluating the current economic conditions, I suspect that the government lacks their share of 100Billion that they must invest. If the rights are implemented in phases, the dilution may be manageable (which is the most likely scenario). I am beginning to personally think that even with the huge rights issue (as long as the capital is raised in five or more phases), the share may have some serious upside. If only I knew how they plan to implement the rights.

What do you have to say if I add this piece of information

Quote:
“Our revenue moved from Sh8 billion to Sh11 billion, and that was mainly contributor of that was about the three months of full running of the geothermal. We expect the other half year, when that geothermal plant will half run at the 280MW capacity, the results will even be better,”

The only bad thing about Kengen is the huge rights issue and the huge government shareholding. I am learning to avoid government owned businesses so I am in a rather confused state right now. Here comes a very good chance to own a great company at a great price...but the majority-owner is an issue. I guess I will stick to my KPLC shares.
