Is it a whale exiting before the ferry begins to sink or institutional investor seeing better things ahead?
Buyers of such huge lots/chunks do not buy unless there is a positive outlook. In this case, the outlook is very positive!
Do expect the following write-offs:
KPRL [1H and 2H 2017 to clean up the books]
Legal settlement [taken in 1H 2017]
Going into 2018, even with higher oil prices, KK is going in strong with a large retail network and export (EAC) market without laggards like TZ.
Zero local (KES) debt. Attractive financing terms for USD/EUR debt [Dutch banks]. Increased consumption in Kenya of (retail) fuel in 2018 vs 2017 [post-elections], etc
Is KK being prepped as a takeover target?
