I prefer FAHARI I-REIT...Zero debt....lots of cash....theyre investing in completed buildings with tenants...

Had to check twice to confirm that it wasn't my post, because the contents are 100% aligned with my thoughts. The year on year salary expense increase of close to 100% is another laced chalice. This looks a HAL reincarnate


🤣🤣 I have hextupled my money here in 3.5years curious how you have faired in your picks?


Emotions aside...congrats on your returns...hope you cash out the moment this thing lists...

Now @horton give Wazua 5 reasons why I should join you in Cytonn?

I have outlined above why I'm hesitant to join you on this journey to Kannan smile smile smile

@Fyatu:
(1) why do most hardware stores in Githurai and Mlolongo stock Kentank tanks instead of Rino tanks? Are those localities not the market niche for water tanks?
I think they have 2 brands Roto and Rino which cater to different markets/segments.

...and (2)how the play ground toys business is doing with the mushrooming of Kindergartens built on less than 1/2 acre plots everywhere in the city
Good question! They should aggressively target that market. Though they should stick to private schools that can/will pay. GoK contracts may be huge but are murky.

Its not a laughing matter. Look at the P&L fair value adjustments spike, along with employee costs. Also check total borrowings of KES 7.6B against cash and cash equivalents of KES 76m ONLY. I just might invest in this thing before listing, looking for the next victim to offload onto https://www.cytonn.com/u...financial-statements.pdf

How many outstanding shares does Cytonn have?

1H PAT for the parent was 186mn including FV adjustments.
Employee costs are 1/3 of revenues and 90% of Gross Profits.
Impairment Losses of 47mn.

I dont think there's a definite number, you can walk in and buy shares like @Obiero is thinking of doing. Those numbers stink!

The numbers stink to the high heavens. I have looked at the results from various angles and I see no light, only pitch darkness. How did the revenue increase 140.4% in 12 months? I have also checked out the Amara, Situ and Alma projects scale and do not believe that the projects are worth KES 11.4B listed as assets nor do I believe it cost over 7.6B to finance these establishments as per total liabilities in the H1 books, definitely not more than KES 1.2B would be sufficient fair value for those projects. This a good share to offload onto wanjiku; akule huu, na hasara juu
