I am trying to establish what is the nature of the cash flow hedges to determine what is the likely position at the end of the year.

As I had predicted, operating profits were really good, so that was a positive outcome at least.
If KQ wanted to pay off (terminate) the hedges as of 30 Sep 2010, they would have had to pay the 'loss' as shown in the Comprehensive Income...

Of course, this 'deficit' could increase/decrease based on the Fuel prices as these Hedges come due...

@VVS The hedges in question are not on fuel but on their foreign currency denominated obligations....for fuel hedges, as per their hf yr briefing the management have the matter under control.

Hmmm... the Presentation says 'cashflow' hedges not forex hedges...

If KQ were to hedge forex it would be against a weaker KES (or stronger $) not a strong KES or weaker US$...

Guys today I've done a comprehensive research on KQ based on the Half year financials and commentary...

At these levels KQ is a GREAT BUY so investors should not give a damn whether its going up or not right now all they should know is that the price will follo these results eventually...

These are a few areas I found positive.
1. Positive cashflows
2. Forward P/E of 7-8
3. Price to book of 0.9
4. Economic growth and tourism growth
5. Fair management of derivatives

Though they were 2 MAIN negatives that could be responsible for the price stagnation.
1. Fairly poor dividend yield of 2.2%
2. The economic stimulus in the USA will lead to the weakening of the dollar hence hurting their revenues


But on a risk reward analysis KQ looks like a buy to me... IMHO

p.s I do not own any KQ so research is unbiased

@Guru,

Personally I think the low dividend yield is almost solely responsible for the 'stagnation' in share price

I blame it on the Insititutional investors....who have decided to exit at the wrong time...this is a big risk to the NSE...once the foreigners exit the NSE will rock.
