....Go son.I am not a prophet but my estimate is that they will miss first half targets by close to 15K tonnes.What would that do to PBT?

@Mwanahisa,
The answer is as above and i am thinking it's even possible to calculate a close estimate of PBT.....what was the figure for last FY first half?

Annoying share indeed, i have about 56700 of MSC shares bought at 9 bob, should i sell off now and take off or waite till march? what do you guys think...well i was waiting to sell off at 18 crap but you know the story.. i watched it go past 15 and i was so happy and now...hahaha may be i just waitye alittle longer

@Wa_ithaka things are that dire... Investors buy a share based on its ability ti grow EPS... At the moment I dont see which investor could see MSC growing its earnings... Infact over the next three years i see MSC's EPS either stagnating or reducing...

Since they said that they would raise Half of the capital for the ethanol prject through equity then investors must be speculating a rights issue in the offing...

I would only put in a buy order for this compnay if it went to 8 shillings or below for the long term because of the dividend yield but no other reason

Njung'e, please stop being cryptic and give us the target figures. This will enable us all make a better informed decision.

I have to say you sound decidedly bearish, so, I guess that's a warning to all of us.

As for last year (H1 2009-10), MSC produced 123,183 tonnes, 18% higher than the previous corresponding half while sales were 117,081 tonnes against 109,538, a 7% jump.
