Pray Happy for her but who will replace her? She is the engine behind Safaricom



The manner in which it was reported in NTV news yesterday was like she was edged out of safaricom.

Good luck to her dealing with Magufuli. A (successful) Kenyan CEO of a UK controlled entity will piss off the Tanzanians.

Citi is worried that Safaricom has reached its peak and there’s no room left for growth — making it a bad choice for investors.

The stock, which recently touched an all-time high of Kshs 32.75, is up by more than 85% since March 2017.

According to Citi, the rally is more macro-driven than fundamental.

(These) Macro factors include:

One: Currency stability against devaluation of currencies in neighboring countries.

Two: Optimism over macro growth following completion of the presidential election cycle in October 2017.

Three: Lack of other quality assets for investors to consider.

Four: Fundamentally, confirmation in December 2017 from Airtel Africa that its operations in Kenya are one of the least successful

Five: and in early 2018 (confirmation?) from CA that the break-up of Safaricom is not an option being considered may have fueled investors’ confidence in the longer term prospects for Safaricom in the market.

If they outperform EPS for FY2018 will come at 1.4...buying at 32...PE is around 23...in FY2019 if they outperform EPS will be circa 1.6 for a PE of 20 at 32 and most likely a dividend yield of 4%...buying now is mere speculation...any negative sentiment on this counter will send a portfolio reeling in losses.

Safari-com dividend yield normally ranges at about 3.5-4 at best.If you get at 3.9% you are very lucky.
The PE normally plays around 22-25,so with a EPS of 1.4 multiply by PE of 25 gives you price of 35 on the higher end and lower end of 31.

I've done a trend analysis from 2014 and that has been the behaviour.

1. That's during MPESA's boom period...

2. Under negative sentiment environment...rolling/forward PE can drop below 20..overall paying 22X a firms earnings is not shrewd investing.
3. Highly doubt EPS of 1.4 will come next month...lets bet...I will send you a six pack of Windhoek Lager if it happenssmile smile smile
