Listing postponed to next Thursday


They should have considered postponing listing to January 2013! Wanjiku was duped here big time!

I have a feeling that by the end of the 1st week post listing, the share will trade below Ksh 7. Institutional investors, high net worth investors and foreigners avoided this IPO......wonder who will be buying on listing as the few that bought make a mad dash for the exit! It will be a massacre this one!

And to imagine at least some 2 local banks were issuing loans for people to buy into the IPO (was it 85% financing?)!!
I find that irresponsible on the part of the banks! The two banks may be left holding a substancial amount of Britak shares (if substancial numbers took up the loan offers) if the share does go below 20% of issue price (ie Below Ksh 7).

Happy hunting.

I was told here that banks are only after your ability to pay a loan from other sources not the shares..whether you benefited is none of their business.

I can see even the reporter of biz daily doesn't know which firm is listing the ipo... See the photo. Biz daily goofs are just too much... Reading blogs or twitter updates is more liable than paying for this copy-paste paper...

Wow! Almost nil interest from the Mboys both local and foreigners. I was thinking that the NSE rebound would give this IPO a boost on listing, but nop. Wanjikus will be left high and dry. The history books will gauge this as the 1st IPO to be listed and tanked!


@Hisah. I beg to differ, I think KQ was the 1st IPO to be listed and tanked. Was floated in 1996 at 11.25 and tanked, was in ICU for 9 years @ 6bob thereabt (thanks to the moieconomics & the shenaningans). We were put out to dry till Sept 2006 when it hit it's all time high of 146

Did KQ tank on day 1?

I'm so glad i stayed out. Numbers dont lie. It would've been a good deal if the n.s.e was up, because they are too exposed to the n.s.e. Where are their half year reports? I expect a major profit warning. Unless they do what CFCIH has done.

you know what? Considering how low equity and britak have fallen, if insurance biz and the other biz doesn't do well...... They could actually be in a loss position come dec 2011.
