Price at 240. Not much of a rally there then. Looks like the news was already factored into the price.

Folks do not know the news! They have not read the papers yet PLUS the details on the Rights Issue have not been 'provided'... coz CMA has to approve the Rights Issue & Conversion...

@mwanahisa, to me a fair PE to give KPLC would be 14.64(The Sector PE instead of 120, never mind Kengen is trading at a trailing PE of 18.62.
Now with a PE of 14.64, with a diluted trailing PE of 23.86, u run to the bank with a comfortable 348.59!
Waht did i say? 348.59
u guys had beta buy this stock!

@SP, Utilities tend to command lower PE ratios in most markets partly because they tend to be low growth companies for a variety of reasons. We can debate about the applicability of that in the Kenyan market given that KPLC while not growing at a stratospheric rate, is still growing revenues and profits steadily and will continue to do so.

For this reason, I prefer to err on the side of caution and maintain my PE ratio of 12. That would still bring some nice upside from the current price and the beauty for me is that it will be likely to happen before the end of this year.

It appears that the price movement is being skewed by a particularly large seller who probably bought it below 150. I can't blame them. I am being greedy on this though one - I am hanging onto some that I bought at 120 although I added at 200.

A fair PE ratio on this counter is 10. Because of the level of Govt shareholding. Look at all the others where Govt has big shareholding (IGNORE KenGen - which is an outlier).
