Your analogy is misleading. There are other metrics to be considered like NAV and EPS when pricing a share. Going by your analogy very few shares would be priced higher than KQ . And I'm not saying this share is trading at fair value, I actually don't know how much it's worth. At least for KQ i know it's worth sub zero.

ofcourse I had to be economical with fact. but it's true that only Safaricom as the other listed firm at NSE that has higher annual turnover than KQ .. EABL a distant third circa 75B. anyhow, how exactly did you arrive at sub zero valuation.. this is interesting


Simple,if KQ was to be shut down today all assets sold and liabilities paid shareholders would find themselves on the negative. But luckily the liability is limited so they'll walk out with zero bob each.

We have told @Obiero a thousand times nobody cares about revenue!!! Revenue is not profit. What matters is profit. I would rather have a revenue of 2 million and a profit of 1 million than a revenue of 110 Billion and LOSS of 27 Billion!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

@maich that is fine.. but if your mpesa shop gets robbed by some Ygeneration staff do you sell off the business or try bring it back up

I have no problem with anyone trying to revive a business. Not at all. That's a different topic all together. All I am saying is that Revenue doesn't count for anything! All business have revenue - including Airtel (and all the other names they have used before) which has never made a single cent in profit since they set foot in Kenya! What matters is profit. Profit!!! That's money in your pocket. Hiyo ingine yote ni kelele!!

Even when they were making profits, KQ's profit to revenue ratio was dismal! Something like 5 cents to the shilling. And those were the "good old days"!!! Sasa ni losses galore! Why would anyone care about revenue when a company is making record breaking losses???

your points are valid.. however larger revenue implies possibility of larger profit. one can not make a profit of 1m with revenue of 200k. sounds simplistic but you get the point

But one can make a profit of 1m with 200k cost.

@obiero other things is just common sense. Not even profound education can liberate an individual from this so called huge revenue. It is about PROFIT . I told you in another thread that I do make up to 8000% profit. My revenues are small though awesome returns. The motivating factor in any business especially limited companies is to maximise growth of shareholder wealth.
