But they ignored to mention anything about the balance sheet restructuring. Nevertheless good numbers.

Saw the results @VVS, 15% increase in net profit and 4.8% increase in Operating Profit. DPS of 8.00 and EPS 46.97

Okay am in awe of gurus, but don't know why I just don't FEEL this share? Is that the problem, I'm trading with my heart or limited faculties just like some people don't get tech or airlines?

Should you buy a company even if you don't feel it? I mean, when I wake up at night, I don't get excited about power generation.

That is OK but please turn on the lights when you wake up in the middle of the night... [And pay your bills promptly]

But seriously though, is it crazy to want to buy only companies that fit into your psyche? I know, I know, making a 50% return is exciting, perhaps that should override other concerns... d'oh!

I am happy with KPLC paying the 1.25bn in dividends. Heck, it should be converted to a 'normal' loan so KPLC can get a tax break! I do not want a conversion!

They are good results but not great. I am a little dissapointed to be honest, especially by the dividend. I had presumed that the increase of the interim div from Kshs 2 to 3 signalled an intention to increase the full year dividend. I had anticipated that the final dividend would be Kshs 7 to round up the figure to Kshs 10.

Same here but my gut tells me the reason was to keep a lid on anti-KPLC sentiments including COTU (strike threats) & customer/consumer backlash...

Also KPLC is going for a Rights Issue sooner than later... So why pay a higher dividend when you ask the same shareholders for money back?

IMHO, KPLC should have paid a 'small' bonus just to assuage shareholders & withheld the dividend... Or pay a Scrip Dividend
