Hi, I guess you can call me one of the suckers. I applied for quite a heap of additional shares and with this kind of uptake I am eyeing no less than Kshs 23 by February next year. I will be happy with approximately 35% return on my capital for slightly over 6 months. I cannot honestly see how KCB will continue trading at a forward PE of 8-9 when the likes of Barclays are trading at one of 15.

I quite agree with you. KCB will easily return to trade in the mid to upper 20s.

@YekeYeke, It's indeed official. This has been posted to NSE subscribers. Total Value of Rights under entitlement + Kshs 10.83 B, while Total Value of applications for additional shares was Kshs 1.6 Billion.

Wa_Ithaka, the volumes may look huge but in the case of KCB, you can be sure quite a lot of the uptake must have come from Institutions. Retailers were not particularly keen on the issue. I therefore do NOT expect too much selling in the initial phase at a price approaching the rights price. I would demand a premium and I am willing to wait. Remember Co-op at 9.50!

For the shares to appreciate, demand for them must be created. My take is that any investor who wanted to position himself is already in there except for those who might have kept off due to referendum fears. Long haul investors keep on holding.

Moreover the government did not take its stake, which was significant. I do not expect alot of sellers as too. KCB is one of the few securities that have declined when the market has been bullish. Most people are waiting for the shares on 19th
