Just gone through the annual reports.
Institutional investors bought big time during the rights issue.
GoK shareholding is now at 73.92%.
Though the company has alot of debt to pay between 2019 and 2026.
The PIBO amount due is ksh.10.78bn due in 2019

The PIBO is not an big deal for KenGen since it pays out 1/16 (of the original amount) every 6 months rather than a bullet payment. If they launched another similar PIBO at 12-13%, I think it would sell like hotcakes.

@VVS
Bear in mind that also other debts which mature in that period of 2019-2026 will require servicing.
KENGEN will be spending about ksh.12bn in repayments each year

I kept my comments to the PIBO [& that a new one would be attractive at this time]. As for their other debts, I know little coz I stay away from all GoK firms except cash-rich KenRe.

The rights issue promised dividends. Now there's a drought and price is sub rights issue. Any hot money would offload this junk!

There are more kq shares in the market than kengen.
Speculators relie on the technical aspects of the stock.Hence they find much volumes and liquidity in kq.This is in contrast with kengen free float shares of 30%.

@Ebenyo
Are you sure with your statement.
30% of the issued shares of KENGEN is more than 100% of KQ issued shares

Gok owns 70% of kengen while it owns 29% of Kq.That leaves 30% and 71% freet float of shares respectively.
