Another interesting thing to think about. KK made a lot of money from the arbitrage opportunities arising from increasing product prices on the local market.

Being the smart guys they are, walikikisha, they had sufficient inventory ahead of the controlled price increases.

Kwenda mbele, can this continue at the same rate? Serikali will be on them, au siyo?
KK was smart to load up on cheap inventory so is being smart (in a clean way) a crime? NOCK gives away 90mn to Prisko. Plus imports pricey diesel. That is stupid.

@stocksmaster has been consistently behind KK. I believe we have been vindicated. Heck, I would be happy if the price did not rise tomorrow! Why? I wanna buy more!

Forget Britak, TransCentury or Bank of Kigali coz I am invested in Rwanda thru KK...!

When is book closure anyone? EA cables rallied 16 percent on a 30cts dividend, from 12-13.50. A few weeks ago. Sasini also got jolted by an ID from 10.00 to around 12.00. Was it two months ago. And these aint at kk's level. Last Share traded was at 13.13, i think due to announcement. Let her go.......

@Iborian. Worse still would be for International oil prices to tumble at a time like this with 20 billion in stocks. It happened to them before and they made quite a loss. Hope they learnt a good lesson.


With price controls, the Govt has in effect hedged KK against this risk as purchases are done only once at the beginning of the month and costs factored into the ERC formula and retail prices guaranteed regardless of volatility in the world market.

I have been looking at the numbers.

Real cash was 4B, against a negative position the previous year. Good.
As at the end of the period KK had borrowed 20B. Finance costs for the period were 1.3B, meaning a finance cost of roughly 6%. Good
Accounts Receivable went down to 7.7B from 11B, meaning they are collecting their debts sooner. Good.
They were sitting on cash of 10B, probably why the finance costs are lower. Good.
I'm not able to decipher if any exchange gains have been recognized as income, with the depreciation of the shilling. Could be bad.

KenolKobil is making too much money. Where are THE THREE STOOGES? Anxious

good review. In your estimate of 2011 full yr, you put net profit at 2.87b. While half year net profit as at now is 2.1b. Meaning u predict they will make 0.7b in H2. Ie less than 50 percent of H1. Why is this?
