KQ results out today... not bad... EPS of 1.84 (if 2H is similar) then very low PE. Also hedging gains of 1.9bn before taxes. Oil is at $80 vs $70 on 30 Sep so theoretically,the hedge gains are even higher... 'theoretically' coz I dont know the hedge positions.

is the dividend payout sustainable in the long run? KPLC mgt have to be on their toes and look at the long list of clients awaiting connectity and whether they can connect them in good time generating more revenues

Gosh! Isn't Kenya an interesting country. KPLC advances case for country wide rationing,reports largest increase in profits by listed company this year,sponsors a blackout of all major towns yesterday,and yet their monopoly continues.

If only these companies were subjected to the same level of scrutiny as telecommunications industry we'd all be in a better place. I must wonder to what extent government really encourages growth of industry - my take is often it just happens then they come in later to 'regulate'

To make sure u don&rsquo;t feel the pinch,u should invest in KPLC. That was,as you pay inflated power bills,you might recover part of it in dividends- obviously after paying for corruption,bureaucracy and inefficiencies that go with such natural monopolies

87% of goverment owned redeemable non cumulative preference shares to be converted into ordinary shares.,a rights issue where the goverment will renounce some of its rights and a share split coming up.
I think its a great move which will mean better dividends for shareholders.,but at what price does goverment sell its shares?

Bad move for existing shareholders coz KPLC is better off paying the 7.85% (others are paying much higher rates) for the money...
