There is expectation that the KPC will be settled out of court by July. They are already in discussion. Though this is with lots of hope. The money from TZ already came but it was only 1.68B.

People are taking advantage of KK mantra to spread skewed rumours and mere gossip .

KK is fairly priced at 12-14.
The fuel market has been favorable to the company. Lower cost per litre increased the margin per litre sold, reduced the cash outlay needed to buy stocks. When international prices start rising this advantage will vaporize.

KK still operates in a regulated market. Apart from protecting margins (discussed above) saving SGA and Finance costs is the only viable means of improving profitability. KK started by retrenching employees. Sold assets to reduce debts. Scope for operating cost reduction is almost done.

From 2016/7 onwards, operating profit growth can only come from increasing volumes while holding Capex steady, by growing a franchise model of stations and convenience stores.

Political risk still high for KK. Mainly held by Kanu men who have not found favour with subsequent regimes. In fact I am surprised that KK has survived this long with loss of favoured position, liberization and controls in the sector, Devani Triton antics.
That KPC (GOK) will pay the disputed amounts to KK with a clean heart is a tad too optimistic. If it happens, you can expect 70% of the cash to end up in Hyenas pockets. Not sure if our Messiah Ohana is open to such deals.

In conclusion all powers in the Cosmos are against a KK outperformance post 2016. This is a share to sell when the bulls return and put the money elsewhere, even T Bills will yield more.

There are very pedestrian views up there. Source of info very reliable. Won't tell you it's DO if that is what you wanted. KK raked are running at double GP margins of last year meaning by end of this month they will be at 100% of 1H15. So if similar or nearer to margins are attained for the 2ND quarter of 2016 we should end up 50%+ earnings growth. Good people how else do you think the debt is being settled that fast?

You need to be an analyst, in your own way otherwise you are coming here to tell us bees and birds stories Back to business KK has been flattish for the last 20 years except during the mad bull run of 2003-2006 when it hit the equivalent of 40/- post split. As a a commodity and energy stock it was good for dividend income which changed with introduction if price controls in the sector
