Very poor uptake esp from retail investors. I personaly had more people asking me about the Co-op IPO which came at a worse time than this when the NSE was sub 3,400!
Wonder whether it will manage full subscription at this rate!


I can see biz daily today states that this IPO is headed for full subscription. Foreigners pool too esp from SA & UK... What are they seeing to fully take up their pool? Mr Market will do wonders with this thing. CFCI suprised a lot, this too might do the same stunt...
$15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Guys, you just cant compare Britak to Jubilee.
Britak is trying to grow into something as big as Jubilee (Jubilee's gross income and regional presence is probably not attainable by Britak in the next 5 years)

What Is worrying me about this IPO is that out of about 5.8Billion raised, 1 Billion goes to pay debt and expenses for the offer, leaving around 4.8 for actual investment.
I have to wonder why they needed to have a 750million loan from cba in their books in the first place and why they are spending 150million on PR and Advertising if this is a Buy stock, the market need not have PR or Advertising.
The idea of pumping 2.5Billion into the property market sounds a little late to me. This market is already hot and I feel that they already failed in capitalizing on the lucrative opportunities.

The global markets don't seem to be doing well with the US debt issues, the Euro zone is also gloomy and Asia feeling the aftershock, That said I'm not touching this stock.

I do hope though that it turns out to be a success so that more companies are attracted to listing.

@ hisa who is telling the truth. by last week the IPO had reached 51% subscription and Kenyans being last minute buyers(including me who is buying after posting this), this thing will be over subscribed. The Business daily http://www.businessdaily.../-/vatkajz/-/index.html and theirblog http://britishamericanblogspot.wordpress.com/ are saying the offer will be oversubscribed while some are pessimistic. I sent someone yesterday to deposit money into a Dyer and Blair account and the line was so big, he refused and i have to go and do it myself today. And that was in Bank of Africa where dyer have an account. My projection is that unless the economy tanks, this share will reach 20 bob by end year

For those intending to be in Britak, good luck. After all is said and done it depends on you to make money even in the most sorry of situations. Money has been made in eveready, olympia etc. Why do you think they keep trading?. Be warned though, No Assumptions! Good Luck everyone.

He said the company was expecting a full uptake on the pool set aside for foreign investors from South Africa and the United Kingdom.why the two countries, i thought foreign is foreign... there's something fishy here

Has anyone done a fundametal analysis of this stock?? Its clearly overvalued compared to its peers on the NSE..

If its peers dont rise to its level then it will fall to their level. No lies here!
