I am bullish on this stock and expect the price to approach the Ksh 270 range once the 1st Half 2010 results and the rights issue details are announced (Refer to my earlier post on Playing the Market; A New Year Resolution)
Currently trading at a P/E of 14.3, it is cheaper than Backlays at a P/E 15.33. This is despite the fact that the company announced a 39% Q1 rise in profits.
The impending rights issue for 27M additional shares looks likely to be at a 1:10 offer and at an attractive price if the target Ksh 2.5B is maintained.
The company also has a habit of issuing interim dividends at the half year mark.
A 10% capital gain is possible within the next two weeks.
Happy hunting.
