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... 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. How can spectators like me rip from this 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? @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. Understood. In that case watch the rights issue price, IF its too high (they are too greedy), forfiet your rights and average down after rights after the ensuing almost 100% guaranteed price slump The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

I hope they stick to raising KES 28Billion then the rights price will be below 4 bob...  However if they go for KES 50Billion the rights price will be above 6 bob...  Mark 12:29

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. Bingo. The NAV/share is almost irrelevant for utilities. You cannot sell the assets, many of which are politically sensitive, immovable or have terms and conditions attached. The dividend yield is important since utilities act almost like bonds. And in Kenya utilities have the stain of massive corruption in their ranks. Utilities are also affected by politics and populism. Look at KPLC. It makes little profit, it gets criticized. It makes a fair profit, it gets criticized. It makes super-normal profits, it get criticized. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Back up a bit, say the rights price is 5 but once trading, it goes for 2/-, wont everyone pay 2 at the bourse rather than 5 to kengen? For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases ~ WB

only government can afford to sit out a rights issue. in any case there are only two options. one is to sell off entire holding if calculations show the price is likely to dip post rights. second is to buy into the rights and load up more if price drops after the issue. the latter option has been noted by myself to be cost effective since the element of commissions doesnt arise and prediction of a fall can at times be sketchy

Now critique this strategy: I have 12000 KEGN shares, I will defend the rights in their entirety (sopefully priced sub 5 for a 2:1); if the rights price at the bourse will be lower than the offer price, I will further average down this.

Some were screwed exorbitantly 11bob per share and watched as tears rolled down their eyes as the price went down every second till today. If since then they have not exited bruised with more massive losses than the mantra to jump in naively are just waiting for a disaster. Poleni wasee!!! Tihihihi....I actually exited at 11bob, zote kabisa. They can now do the rights thing and I might re-enter at 3bob for long term.
