@PesaNane - Here is a thought. The 1H ends on 30th Sep so they want it out of the way as a payable item on their balance sheet. As stated earlier I don’t know why they changed the date. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

I think a major shareholder may have signed an agreement to sell his shares with the agreement that he collects dividends for financial year ended.

As stated earlier I don’t know why they changed the date. It will still be payable on the balance sheet because the payment date is beyond 30 September.

As stated earlier I don’t know why they changed the date. They should then state as much instead of peddling a lie in the notice that "The change in register closure date shall result in earlier payment of dividends to shareholders" Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.

vvs I leave this for you Poor Centum, Mr. Fix it missing now this. Only attractive thing about this share is Vipingo land. So is there no value to Almasi, Nairobi Bottlers, Two Rivers (the unsold land), GM? How did you come to this conclusion? I am happy to hear your thoughts/analysis. Thank you.

Martin J. Whitman is another well-regarded value investor. His approach is called safe-and-cheap, which was hitherto referred to as financial-integrity approach. Martin Whitman focuses on acquiring common shares of companies with extremely strong financial position at a price reflecting meaningful discount to the estimated NAV of the company concerned. Buying Price 28.50 NAV (31st Mar 2018) 73.00 Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Safaricom Investment Coop is selling 1/8 acre residential plots for 895k. Ad in Nation. That's approx 7mn/acre. 2015: In the deal, Centum will acquire a total of 9,646 acres of land in Vipingo at a price of Sh180,000 per acre as well as take Rea Vipingo’s subsidiary, Vipingo Estates Limited which owns approximately 900 acres of land, at a price of approximately Sh340 million. https://www.capitalfm.co...ve-land-sale-to-centum/
Not exactly an apples to apples comparisons but 7mn x 10,000 acres = 70,000,000,000 (Seventy Billion) less a 30% discount for roads, public spaces, infrastructure (serviced plots), etc = 50bn 50bn less sales cost, additional financing costs, etc = ???? http://vipingodevelopment.comCentum breaks ground for Sh100 billion industrial park Read more at: https://www.standardmedi...lion-new-gem-in-vipingo
Dubbed Vipingo Investment Park, the project is offering interested investors 1,150 acres of serviced plots for manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and commercial developments at between Sh18 million and Sh20 million per acre. ...to develop a residential estate, Vipingo Awali Estate, which will be part of the planned 200-acre Vipingo Lifestyle City. “We are also looking into the affordable housing segment. We will have the the Ridge Homes that will see the development of 1,200 units consisting of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments going for less than Sh4 million per unit,” Centum said in a statement. It's important to note that this is LONG-TERM PROJECT and will require a lot more planning and execution... Greedy when others are fearful.

Land is good to get those paper gains they like but a nightmare when it comes to cashflow.
