I suppose it is reasonable for book closure on a 1 share for every 4 shares bonus split to result in a 25% share price drop.............especially given that it is E.A cables

Hypothetically and ignoring taxes, before the bonus, an investor with 10,000 shares was worth (10,000 * 19.95)= Kshs199,500

On book closure, and adjusting for the bonus, the same investor would have 12,500 shares hence (12,500*15.95) = Kshs 199,375.

Moreover the same investor has a dividend of Kshs 10,000.

I shall assume that the market is just pricing in the bonus. Those in trouble are the ones who intend to cash out ASAP whereas the bonus shares have not been uploaded and hence may not be transferred.

>>>As has been said this is expected and allowed after bk clsr on 18th. It's likely to lose one fifth or 4/={4*20/(4+1)} due to bonus alone. That is 20% drop assuming it closed at 20/= on Friday. Factor in the ex-dividend etc and you will have to wait for the share at below 15!
The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

Don't quote me on this but I think that Cables is bound to be pumped up before Trans Century lists. E A Cables is their biggest investment.

We have just seen how scarcity of supply can help drive up price in the case of CFC Insurance Holdings.

It's going to be a challenging year for them with high fuel cost (transport and manufacture), the weakening shilling, 80% increase of their product prices and they don't seem to be doing well in the other countries. I would not touch this counter yet.

BBI will solve it :)
