Current NSE Index position - 2,755
Market conditions: Overwhelmingly bearish
Strategy: Value Investing
Hypothetical starting capital: Ksh 1,000,000
Objective: 30% (To match the performance of the best NSE stocks of 2018 i.e Express and Unga @ 31% and 30% respectively)

1st Pick: LONGHORN PUBLISHERS

FY PBT 2016 = 139 million +43%
FY PBT 2017 = 179 million +28%
FY PBT 2018 = 273 million +53%

Current PE = 7

Current Price = 4.65

Dividend yield = 9%

Amount Allocated to Longhorn: Ksh 379,068

Number of shares = 80,000

4.65*80000= Ksh 372,000
0.019*372,000 = Ksh 7,068
372,000 + 7, 068 = 379,068

Cash in bank: Ksh 620,932

Commentary:
Longhorn Publishers is a small, high growth company. It has a single digit PE ratio, excellent dividend yield and impressive profit growth in the last three years. I am willing to bet that the company will continue to post good results in the foreseeable future. The company has diversified its products and geographical presence presenting more opportunities for accelerated growth. The chairman FT.Nyammo owns 5.88% of the company stock directly i.e about Ksh 75,000,000 at current stock price. He also owns a stake (not disclosed) in Pacific Futures and Options Limited, which owns 12.85% of the company i.e about Ksh 163,000,000 at current stock price. I like investing in companies where senior management have skin in the game. I see better growth prospects for the company in future because I believe that a company operating in over five countries should make a lot more than 273 million going forward. I will buy at 4.65 or lower.

I am still studying the market to hunt for more bargains and deploy the remaining (hypothetical) Ksh 620,932 capital.

You ain't seen nuffin yet Laughing out loudly. Longhorn will be trading at 30 cents by Dec 2019. Ask those hopeless hope filled hopers who clung on to turbo nyani HAFR hoping upon hope it would zoom "soon" Laughing out loudly. I told them to run from that thing but they did not listen, now they are eating crow! My fren, SELL this thing or regret bitterly when dec 2019 arrives! The NSE bear run has not even started proper yet!

Read and weep:

https://www.nation.co.ke...67236-eehysr/index.html

Whenever you see a CEO resigning either "for health reasons" or for no reason at all, just know things are dheek! I suspect books are being cooked heavily hapa.

Naikuni resigned - project Mawingu looting spree came to light after

HFCK guy resigned - massive scandal that was exposed by lawsuit by employee that was "settled out of court" has not even exploded properly yet

Kidero and his goon squad resigned - Mumias went to the dogs!

Wakina Kirubi resigned as directors - Uchumi collapsed

I can go on and on and on Laughing out loudly

Ogopa casino, baba! You cannot get a P/E ratio on fraud!

Quote:
Mr Wahome is faced with the immediate task of rebounding the publisher from last year’s 24 per cent drop in sales that led to a dip in after-tax profits by 16 per cent in the six months to December.

Longhorn attributed the profit fall to a prolonged electioneering period and a tough economic environment.

That risk can be diversified away or rather contained. That's why you don't invest all your capital in one stock.

Eish, you are really set in your ways I see. Good for you and I really wish you the best. Rampant fraud in almost all companies in the bourse cannot really be diversified away but let us hope for the best for your LKL. Remember this is a DJ CK offshoot and you know how all his companies zina nuksi nuksi flani flani na kadhaa kadhaa. He has tried to clean up ICDC lakini even that one I do not trust despite the robust results. Hence I wil only touch it when it hits near zero, or will never touch it at all. In Kenya even judges are being bought so what about mere accountants and auditors who will sell out for a pittance? As I said ogopa NSE but time will tell how your LKL investment pans out.

Please explain further why you think Longhorn Publishers has a bright future with all the uncertainty, projected/expected disruption and happening in that industry.

BBI will solve it
