The market will never cease to surprise us. KP is Currently trading at a PE of 5.98 assuming full year EPS of 2.34(1.17*2).
The fixed charges have increased as noted by Impunity.
Last month Treasury said it will back KPLC in its bid to increase charges by 25% come june 2012.
The country is far off from reaching its installed MW capacity meaning theres plenty room for growth.
Savings from prepaid meters should start being felt as the years go by.
The scheduled underground delivery of power as opposed to the electric poles scheduled for 2015 is expected to save KPLC 3.2B* in maintenance costs.
Infrastucture growth and boom expected in years to come is = to even more connections per year than the current average of 200,000.

yes im pretty bullish on KPLC, It is unlikely to triple your capital(like uchumi), but its steady growth will give more than adequate returns.
As indicated by management bonuses will be the predominant mode of payment for a while due to the high CAPEX and its why they increased authorised share capital in fy 2010/2011.
Got carried away and wrote too much.

And they have doubled both the standing charges and VAT amount and no one is seeing all these rip-off!
Brick wall Brick wall Brick wall

Fixed charge = 240 (up from 120)
VAT (28 up from 14)

it happens sometimes, next month your fixed charge and VAT will be zero.

The 240/- is for 2 months. They combined the billing. VAT is set by GoK as a %. KPLC gets nothing from it.

Never liked KP but I'm going in...at 13.50-14...it looks like a bargain...I will hold it until June 2013.


Good volumes transferred at 14.
Bids now at 13.00 and asks keep dropping
Wait for it at 13.50.

i remember when they had that rights issue and the pps was at 23-24,there is a guy who use to say it would go to about 16.I was of the same opinion but this drop to 14 is a bit extreme.I believe part of the reason is the regulators have refused for kplc to increase its tariffs for the last 2 years.Utilities(kengen,tcl,kplc) are boring stocks good for dividends and long term play because of the fact that they are very capital intensive businesses.Buy kplc and put it in your retirement account.you will be very happy later

Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Yes that guy was YARSERBIGCHAIR. We called him names, asked him to prove that KP would touch 16. I cant believe now even 12 is a possibility. Btw still waiting for his list to buy.
