@xtina thanks. I've seen the allocations.

I think that's good for the retail investor, the likelihood of hitting 12bob in the coming month is high.

This thing will go up before it comes down


OMCs, Retail Investors, International Investors and even KPC employees all avoided this at Ksh 9.....unless NSSF wants to add onto its share holding on this, limited demand will pull it lower on listing especially now with the Iran issue hence potential limitations on oil supply for KPC to distribute.

Happy Hunting


I thought they announced that more than 600 institutional investors bought more than 3x their allocation

The KPC share should rise tomorrow upon listing on day 1. It will be a highly illiquid share given that it is largely owned by institutions, and the retail investors that bought at 9.00 will obviously not sell below IPO price hurriedly. There's no logical reason for it to collapse. It should rise, but ideally via NBV, it is worth KES 6.40


I see it more rangebound 6-8 for the accumulation stage then eventually settle at 12 over the medium term.

Today is that day!!

Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Happy for you. I put only the idle cash. I see a good future when East Africa/Great lakes region starts being a proper oil consumer in the coming decades.

The oil marketing companies and KPC staff initially allocated 15% and 5% respectively also snubbed the IPO.

The underallocations were taken up by GoK

Guys this IPO failed for all intents and purposes.


Exactly. It was a complete flop. Kenya Institutional Investors is NSSF which is GOK controlled. So what happened here is GOK sold KPC to itself. Or rather misallocated Kenyans pension money to overpay for an asset that everyone else refused to buy. OMCs keeping away should tell you something, they would have been the most interested. They understand the business better than anyone else and would have had access to the most funds.

Brokers got paid KES 1bn+ to "shepherd" the sale by GoK to NSSF (GoK CON-trolled). GoK should have just transferred the shares to NSSF in lieu of outstanding/delayed remittances!

Let me explain very simply in a way that is accessible to Obiero. If you go to the market to sell 100 mangoes and in the evening 50 mangoes are unsold. You then sell them to yourself and declare success. Is this rational? Do you go home and brag to your wife about your 100% sales?

I am waiting for @Obiero's reply. Laughing out loudly
I am glad I did not buy. I am happy to buy something else or wait for the price of KPC to drop.

I see 3 scenarios for the long-term for me [I am not a trader].

1) Price drops and the DY becomes attractive. It becomes a dividend play. Some folks, like me, like dividends.

2) Price remains steady. It remains unattractive to me as a dividend play unless long-term yields on bonds drops to 8-ish level.

3) Price increases substantially. That would genuinely surprise me!

Let's look at this in March 2028.

I am curious to see which non-GoK institutional investors bought.

I wonder how many GoK-controlled or influenced entities bought.
