Despite good PE and low price, the market is not interested in this stock. Anything which we dont know? Anyone.

I know we don't look forward, but isn't the end of the ceding period in 2011 a concern?

Does Kenya Re have an MD?

You fire your MD then the following week he gets employed by your rival(Afica Re-Jubilee has a stake)...

Can they survive without the compulsory cessions?

If the referundum goes soar...will Kenya Re survive the Billions in Claims?

What was their PAT in final results 2009? despite posting 43% increase in 3Q PAT....

This company needs to be fully privatized. The people running it are civil servants who don't care so much about the company and that's why they could casually oust the CEO without any care about the company performance. This is a classic case of company for management not shareholders.

My advice, buy now. Fundamentals (ya, there's that word again) are strong and the price is good. Just needs good PR a good CEO to point it in the right direction and you'll see it <25/-

BBI will solve it :)

@deal, doesn't this apply to all insurers who went into political insurance?

I agree with you.A re insurer which is 60% government controlled would be filled with a lot of bureaucrat.The Govt should offload at least 25% more to a strategic investor hence living the public with the controlling majority.

I do not agree that the reason Kenya Re is not doing well is because it is 60% owned by government. There is a lot of professionalism in many organisations where government has more control than Kenya Re; Look at KPLC, KenGen, KRA, CBK;

Kenya Re, to me has not yet got leadder to steer it to great heights. When they do so, the share will be over 20 bob

The end of the concessions will not have as big an impact as most wazuans are saying. The insurers are currently reinsuring a lot more than is already required by the law, so it is a misconception to assume that the insurers will stop doing business with KRA in 2011

Fundamentally, this is a buy now stock,, buy now wait till they get some new managemnt or even better for some strategic private investor.
