Why MTN Uganda’s IPO has failed to beat its target


External Factors
- This IPO was forced by the govt MTN was initially reluctant and only did it as licensing renewal requirement.
- The Uganda bourse is small with only 42,000 investors, and its performance is also lacklustre
- Covid 19 pandemic market aftershocks (job cuts, reduced incomes etc)
- Negative and biased social media commentaries

Internal Factors
- The IPO campaign by MTN was also lacklustre and not visible enough to excite the masses
- The share price was perceived to be too high and it was not clear to the public whether Mobile money will be part of the deal

Lets wait to see how the market will react

It could be another Safaricom, soon after listing, and if so then time for Kenyans to jump in at less than 6/-. It should cross-list on the NSE to attract Kenyans.



Safaricom should enter the Ugandan market through acquisition of majority stake of UTL


UTL is very risky venture after many years of mismanagement and underinvestment.

Unless the government of Uganda clears the liabilities, gives tax waivers, offers free frequency spectrum, gives national backbone optical fiber network and other incentives. Then maybe


The liabilities the government takes them similar to how Treasury took over Telkom Kenya liabilities during the privatisation.
Frequency spectrum will be part of the consideration that Safaricom will pay.
National optical fiber backbone is under NITA so Safaricom can lease for use,build its own or go wireless.
The cost of investment and modernization will be under Safaricom where they can negotiate on the price to be paid considering the costs they will incur to modernize.
Since Ethiopia has slowed down until they sort themselves out, perhaps Saf should look at Uganda. Suspend the dividend for FY22 to fund their expansion into UG while watching Ethiopia.


The developments Ethio telecom is undertaking on its network and business will provide very stiff competition to Safaricom Ethiopia.
Which developments? Not talk but real improvements. How is Ethiotel funding these developments?

-4G LTE expansion in the country
-Telebirr partnerships with service providers such as banks.
Ethio telecom is funding through internally generated sources.

So the article is at least 2 years old. Before COVID, the civil war and huge forex shortages. Good luck to Ethio Telcom without a foreign partner who can provide forex.

The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is set to earn a Sh5.9 million dividend from its investment in MTN Uganda after the telco declared a final payout equivalent to Sh0.149 per share.

The State-controlled pension fund acquired 39.18 million shares in the telecommunications firm last year when it went public through an initial public offering (IPO).
NSSF,made the investment through asset manager Sanlam.

6mn is peanuts for NSSF UG but hopefully the dividend is much better for 2022 given the full year of ownership.

Plus the better dividend in 2022 will translate to a better share price.Currently it's trading 10% below it's IPO price.

These days there are no guarantees.
BAT is struggling to get above 500 with a superb 53.50 DPS.
Even SCBK is around 142 with a 19/- DPS.
