Yes & No. Both businesses produce good returns (though they are lumpy!)

Unga - Year End 30 June 2011 - My forecast EPS 1.75+ thus attractive PER & great assets! The assets (land) is my backup! Land in Nairobi's industrial area which I have seen. It is grossly under-utilized. There are depots in Eldoret & Nakuru (which I have not seen).

Williamson - YE 31 March 2012 - I expect a 'cash' EPS of 25+ (based on 1Q tea prices + forex rate though a long way to go) so a decent PER & the land is my backup!

So even as operating businesses, they are OK in my view. Not high growth but profitable. The land is where I become 'rich' i.e. P/B is very low coz of the land!



Williamson sells HQ. 1 down 1 to go? Talk of vindication

Ps: You can come out nowsmile
GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE

Update:

Williamson - Tea prices will remain strong 3Q 2011. Production will be lower than 2010.
Price on 3 Jan 2011 =
Target = 300/-
[Perhaps 300 but not sure though the profits even without biological gains & sale of property will be through the roof]

KenolKobil - The best OMC in Kenya. Also regional expansion. For the patient. I am lucky I can buy these at 10/-. It is a gift.
Price on 3 Jan 2011 =
Target = 13/- [but not for sale until Dec 2013 at 20/-]
[Did you see the 1H 2011 profits? And yummy dividend? And regional expansion? It is a shoo-in at 20/- by Dec 2013]

Kenya Airways - Great African & Asian opportunities as India+China trade with Africa increases + increased intra-Africa travel.
Price on 3 Jan 2011 =
Target = 60/-
[It will announce 1H 2011-12 on 4 Nov 2011 but the price will remain subdued. The Rights Offer is hurting but the profits will be awesome with KES at 100/$]


KPLC - Rain/water/thermal/geothermal sources of power have increased so will sales. Kenya's strong economic growth means continuous need for additional electricity. I believe the 1H 2010-11 results will be very good.
Price on 3 Jan 2011 =
Target = 28/-

[Share price collapsed but revenues are on the way UP in 2011-12 as will profits once the Rights cash is deployed. Great potential over the next 2-3 years]

Unga - [Coz someone asked] This is a 3-year play for me from mid-2010 not a 2011 performer. There is plenty of maize during 1Q 2011. Wheat is always imported so does not concern me as all millers are affected. If I owned 50% of Unga, I would sell the brand names, scrap/sell the machinery then use the cash to develop the land in Industrial Area.
Price on 3 Jan 2011 =
Mid-2013 Target = 20/- [+ dividends]

[Patience is key. Nice dividend. I might have to 'up' the time frame but the profits will continue being spectacular though I still prefer they develop the land!]
Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
