Now that the price wars seems to be longterm between the mobile service providers; what effect will safaricom share consolidation have on shareholders' value? I mean; should safaricom decides to consolidate the mumber of shares frm 10billion (listed) to say 3 billion; what should we expect as shareholders? Dilution or increase in value?

by the way consolidation alone has zero effect on the company's value.

then you will have half of the share register with odd lots of 20, that will increase volatity.

@Sparkly .....ate bong phoints??...wewe acha....BTW...accounts with odd number of shares are quite common even now...mimi iko na 42 ya NIC...iko mutu nataka??

I too think consolidating their shares will make the safcom account less volatile and thus few shares available. How will this translate / be reflected in divided payout and yield?

Any ideas kama safcom wants to go regional?

Our laws do not allow share consolidation....Let's stop dreaming.
