Bad business practice
The company has established a new higher baseline in profitability with the explosion of tea prices. The last two financial years (2009 and 2010), the company has accumulated over Ksh 100 per share (if you discount the biological assets component from the results) post dividend swelling its reserves. With another pumper year (2011), this reserves were entering ridiculously high levels coupled with the cash from sale of its Head quarters.
The tea revenue for 2012 is projected to rise by about 6-7% hence no reason why Williamson will not post a > Ksh 100 EPS for year ending March 2013.
This share price will explode hence a share split seems like a logical consequence.
Ksh 400 per share looks cheap.
