For those who are already in, defend your rights or sell the rights (not shares).

For those who are out, wanting to get in, buy after rights issue is concluded.

@Sparkly forgive my ignorance, has the rights price been officially determined? And, these rights, how do you sell them before buying them? I have not been involved in one of these, so baby steps will be appreciated here...

@sparkly, that price upthrust during the 'very nice' FY announcement is going to leave a very bad taste I warned. Remember our discussion. Let's compare notes next October. This super dilutive rights issues will crater this counter badly. Sell while you can then buy post rights, which will be far cheaper anyway. This is KQ 2012 again.


@Hisah, I am not one to sell a perfectly healthy share at a loss.

I will defend/sell my rights.

If you have KenGen shares, you will be given "rights" depending on the ratio agreed. If you have say, 100 shares and they announce rights of 2:1 it means you can buy 200 shares at the right price (say 5bob) requiring you to invest 1K.

If you don't want to buy the 200 shares (or you don't have cash) you can sell the 200 rights at prevailing market price say, 1 Bob (so you pocket 200). The person you sell the rights to will pay 1000 to KenGen for him to get the shares.

Bottomline; you must have the shares to get the rights.

Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

In Kenya, Rights depress the share price. However for solid profitable companies, prices tend to recover and shoot up within one year. This is from my experience in KCB, TPS, NIC.

If you want to make money, buy ex-rights and wait for the ride IMO

@Sparkly. I do not understand your optimism with this 70% owned gava stock.
What I wonder is, why has the share been depressed since the IPO its around 30% down, 7 years later?
What makes you think the next 7 years or more will be any different?

Ex-rights for a short term ride you will make money. Longterm however, kengen is a sad tale of a company with respectable performance which happens to be in a capital intensive industry.

Large capex with government involvement tends to be a vicious cycle of debt conversions and rights issues. This means dilution is always around the corner which begets a low share price.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

@Aguy its just another stock in my portfolio where I expect >100% return from capital gains + Dividend in the next 2-3yrs. My average buy is around 9.85.

If I wasn't already in it, I would have waited for the rights issue to be completed before jumping in but since I am in already, I must defend/sell my rights or be irredeemably diluted.

That's the extent of my relationship with this share.
