Share price done fairly well despite stock going ex dividend. What target price are we looking at right now? Driver seems to be the anticipation of half year announcement.

"From the resulting gain on its closest competitor, Safaricom now commands a greater 63.5 percent share of the market having registered new customer additions to hit 33.1 million subscriptions from 31.8 million subscribers in March. Airtel has meanwhile seen its first regression in the growth of its customer base in as many months shedding off 479,419 subscribers in the three months to June. Airtel and Telkom, who remain the subject of an ongoing merger, still hold the potential to stage an upset on the leading telecoms operator in spite of registering a mixed performance in the growth of their differentiated consumer bases in the review period." https://citizentv.co.ke/...er-subscriptions-283763/

NMG wrote: Safaricom’s share of mobile subscribers fell to 63.5 percent in the full year ended June, making it the lowest market share it has recorded in the last decade as rival Airtel steadily won over its customers.
The latest data from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) shows that although Safaricom has the highest number of subscribers at 31.8 million, its voice market share and overall customer base has been shrinking over the years.
Safaricom’s market share last year was 65.4 percent.
Airtel, on the other hand, has increased its subscribers by 3.1 million to 12.8 million in the full year to June, with its market share climbing to 24.6 percent, its highest ever.
The last time the telco’s market share was this low in the full-year was the 2011/12 period when it was at 64 percent.

Nationmedia as usual with its bias reporting,no wonder they are loosing market share and profits declining for the past 6 years,they shouldn't complain about business environment being tough with this kind of mediocrity.
