Safcom is not a leavin bus..nor a boltin horse..nor even flying chicken...this is a dun semi arid plot in pokot west!..good for an occasional oasis for marauding speculators comin to rest n plot for another raid!

NAIROBI,Nov 12 (Reuters) - Kenya's Safaricom SCOM.NR,said on Wednesday pretax profit rose 2.2 percent to 8.976 billion shillings ($117.5 million) in its first half ended September 2008,from 8.781 billion in the same period last year.


East Africa's leading mobile phone service provider and the region's biggest company by market capitalisation,attributed the increase in profit,which excludes one-off items,to expansion. Users rose by 50.3 percent to 11.96 million in the period from 7.96 million a year earlier.

Forward profit for the year is sh17.8billion.... Am totally going 'mteja' at this point. No comment! 10% rule is waived as information is public and material enough to influence investor decision..plus came befor tradin session begun.

mcreggea: vuka has killed Safcom: 50% increase in subscribers and only 2.2% increase in profits,I think you have it wrong!

But still... They'v peaked don't u think? 50% increase in subscribers who brought totally no benefit? Otherwise..payin sh4 for it is fogothari. Do not recommend as buy...especially befor year ends.

I think Safcom's woes have just started,interconnectivity agreement coming up soon for review ( currently at 4.something bob,that will drop hard).

Further,number migration will be supported by 3 of 4 operators ( ie you can move to zain with your 0722 prefix intact,like India).

I hear Econet's opening shot will be 4k a month,unlimited calls across all networks,postpaid/prepaid,you choose.

We were sold Safcom at its height my friend,its good to accept the truth!

Now that the dividend is 2billion(5cents) should we expect another 5 cents come march or more,i think that's the issue emerging for the dumpers,they can't believe 5cents!!!,let's wait and see

With news of the impending announcement the share goes ahead and drops this morning from 4.30 to 4bob. What's going on? Why not rise? I'ld imagine shareholders would first want to kula the dividends,whatever the amount, before selling.

If you have money that you expect to start using in five years,it does not belong in stocks.
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

Puhleeze...

1) Vuka was introduced juzi juzi... so the effect of vukaing has not hit safcon in 1H. it will hurt them in 2H.

2) Safcon was forced to match Orange & Zain (reduced rates) in 2H. Yes,there will be an increase in minutes called BUT lower revenue.

3) Safcon will benefit from data usage as subscribers grow.

4) M-Pesa is a con. It is owned by Vodafone (UK) and safcon gets a pittance.

5) Reduction of 10/- to 4/- for post-paid will hurt a lot as these are heavy users.
