Wueh d'oh!

A beating and then some! d'oh!
Luckily, this is not "Core" for me. Biashara in KE is an extreme sport. Some industries/sectors have it tougher than others.


CoronaVirus is going to devastate the tourism industry no matter how good the management.

The expansion programme using debt is going to bite TPSEA.

I am not selling nor am I buying. I am picking up some "core" dividend paying shares at lower prices.


Is tourism business the new agriculture businesses wild swings and challenges. Actually more like the airline business. At this rate the share us getting a beating before fully recovering from the ebola beating a few years ago.

Like you I'm eyeing the blue chips that were too mighty to fall, safcom, equity etc.
No firm is forever. Those that will survive will have to be adept at adapting. The high-end market has much higher fixed costs and will suffer more during a downturn.

Serena might choose to retain staff during the downturn. It may reduce hours/benefits but with other expenses the fixed costs remain high.

The recent expansion will also weigh on profits with a huge interest bill but no-one to use the facilities.

The Management could not have seen it coming just as most of the world did not.

They closed 10 Safari Lodges in Kenya and Tanzania. Fate has not been kind on tourism... terror, travel advisories, elections, siasa mingi, poor state of economy, now Covid-19. Add the highly leveraged balance sheet and solvency is going to be an issue.

I have always wondered what #TPS saw in this share over the last 4 years and you were diehards at it.

I thought/my personal feeling is that Aga Khan has lost the public investment plot in Kenya/Africa over the last 10 years.

Serena can stand the competition. Things were looking up following completion of the developments but Corona has happened. The impact on hotels is severe. Because of this, I've cut my loss. I'll relook when things return to normalcy completely. Most likely after a year and half or so

Most hotels are in deep doo-doo.

We can't compare with others since TPS is the only one which is listed but the 5-star hotels eg Sankara, Intercont, Kempinski, etc are probably all bleeding. 🩸

I am going to provision TPS and can afford to hold onto the shares.

Uhuru's statement earlier today on Nairobi & Mombasa lockdown has crushed what was left. Imagine the earlier offpeak bookings locals had made for Easter no longer tenable. It's a wait and see tomorrow as Kenyans rush to their agents for refund.
