Safaricom should try match Airtel Data price. The difference in prices is staggering yet they have so much headroom to adjust the prices. Many people are becoming price sensitive to data charges


true, i purely use airtel for data and safaricom for calls and mpesa
There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

Safaricom hinted it could buy an existing company in another country on the continent or setup afresh where it can export its success in M-PESA

Mpesa is not truly exportable. Just a peculiar Kenyan habit. It has already failed in UG, RW, TZ, ZA.. Even India rejected such a product. And it's with good reason for most of the hesitant central banks..

False. Lies.

M-Pesa (among other Mobile Money options) is going strong in TZ even though TZ isn't as financially inclusive as KE. Mobile Money can only grow as more TZians get mobile phones/lines and businesses start adopting M-Pesa services eg Lipa Na M-Pesa though slower adoption vs Kenya.

Mobile Money is going strong in UG and RW. In RW, most M-Pesa users are Kenyans. It could be the same for UG. Airtel is growing in both UG & RW.

India - With the demonetization, MM is growing. India has many options for financial inclusion and MM is one of them BUT there's definite growth in MM. Google Airtel Money and M-Paisa in India. Growth in volumes and value is in double digits which far exceeds India's single digit economic GDP growth.

Doesn't Safcom have loads of cash? It's a cash machine with billions in the banks (earning interest) waiting to be paid out as dividends!

The ma-billions could be in T-Bills and banks earning interest while the acquisition/expansion is being negotiated.
20bn for 6 months at 9% = 900mn
