Should it floor it, the next resistance will be at 15. Either way, i expect it to trade between 15-20 between now and May 2023 when they announce FY results. @SufficientlyP

I am seeing top five bid prices (high volumes) od between 18.50 and 18.80/=. No? Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

All in all, as someone who grabbed a few at 17.95 yesterday, i'd be happy if the stock breaks the 20 resistance and aim for the 23 one. Though i'll be in the market on Friday to sell after T+3 regardless of the price then! @SufficientlyP

buying heavily at 15, a growth stock with a divided yield of 8% is a real gem There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

With FED rate hikes and the depreciating shilling, I'm not putting any more money into the NSE (though I might be tempted to put more if stocks fall precipitously after their book closure dates). For now, I'll just be moving money around chasing yields. As for existing safcom shareholders, I sympathize. This is how I felt watching my centum bet fall from 14 to 8 bob.

A good number of local shareholders bought SCOM at KES 5.. But there are a few mad men and women who bought at highs of KES 20 and above.. Very humbling experience. It's a definite BUY at the moment

People are spooked by the drop in earnings but have ignored the grant of an MPESA license in Ethiopia.
When it rains gold, put out a bucket not a thimble. I have bought loads of safcom today at 14.30. I pray the price remains low until we receive our bank dividends in 2 weeks (ABSA, KCB, StanChart)
History will judge just how unfortunate I was for buying at these prices.

Going in right now is like chasing after a woman who keeps lifting her skirt unnecessarily. Risky. But I just might

Upon discussion at the exchange bar, I change my mind. Will sit it out, as further falls in the price are expected starting tomorrow. KES 12 is GUARANTEED within next 5 trading days.. The current share price of Safaricom Plc (SCOM) is KES 14.70. SCOM closed its last trading day (Thursday, May 11, 2023) at 14.70 KES per share on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), recording a 3.9% drop from its previous closing price of 15.30 KES. Safaricom began the year with a share price of 24.15 KES but has since lost 39.1% off that price valuation, ranking it 61st on the NSE in terms of year-to-date performance. Shareholders’ worries are compounded by the fact that SCOM has lost 20% of the stock’s value from April 11th to date.

We have seen these fears about Safaricom. They did not pan out.
Who remembers number portability craze being the base of fears in years past.
Safaricom shares are falling hardest because they are the biggest holding of international investors. The very same ones leaving our market due to interest rate hikes abroad accompanied by local forex shortages.
I suppose they are also in fear of regulatory risk affecting Safcom.
When foreign investors come back to NSE, whenever that is, guess which shares they will buy. Hint: Not KQ, not HFCK

Can Ethiopia backfire and they lose money or struggle for years with exchange controls and just making money in Ethiopia . I do not know why Airtell struggled while Safaricom did well in Kenya
