Tetesi: Tanzanian billionaire duo have taken over Kenya’s most profitable firm which was recently recognised by the United Nations

[Yule-Msee]

The term "Takeover" is being misused

 

[nomasana]

Should we talk about which Kenyans or Kenyan companies own what in Tanzania?

 

[pingli-nywee]

Shida ni kwamba wengi hapa hawajui % ya Safaricom inayomilikiwa na serikali ya Kenya na ni asilimia ngapi ya shares za Safaricom zilizouzwa kwenye IPO miaka mingi iliyopita.

Safaricom's Market capitalization is KES 911billion. That's equal to $9 billion. These two Indians have bought only KES 277 million of these. That's a mere $2.77 million equivalent to 0.03% of the company. This does not even qualify them to have any say on how the company runs. You need to get your head checked.

But still at the top of the list of individuals owning Safaricom shares! Their stake in Safaricom is over $20 mln.

But still at the top of the list of individuals owning Safaricom shares! Their stake in Safaricom is over $20 mln.

There stake is $2.77 million fool. That's out of the total value of Safaricom that is $9.11 billion. Practically peanuts, not worth a mention.

Coming in the wake of amid a major dip in the company’s share price, which now stands at Sh25, a 23.6 per cent drop from a high of Sh32.75 in April, the Rajabalis’ purchase is seen by many and interpreted as a signal of their confidence in the telco’s future prospects.

It is not hard to see however, why they can’t have enough of Safaricom.
Latest data shows Safaricom has a market share of 71.9 per cent in mobile subscriptions with rival Airtel trailing behind in distant second with a paltry 14.9 per cent market share and recently revamped Telkom Kenya has 8.4 per cent.
Safaricom is Kenya's most profitable company, with a dominance in the various segments of the telecommunications market, including voice, mobile data and mobile cash transfers.
Despite a tough economic year occasioned by prolonged electioneering period, Safaricom made a net profit of Sh55.2 billion in the year ended March, a 14.1 per cent rise from Sh48.4 billion the year before.

Besides Safaricom, the duo have bought significant stakes in Equity Group, KenolKobil and I & M Holdings, among other listed firms.
Mid this year, the two bought seven million shares worth Sh344 million ($3.44 million) from Equity Bank.
As a result, the Rajabalis are now ranked seventh in Equity’s list of top individual investors with a 0.19 per cent stake.

Are we talking about Safaricom's or NSE? What they've invested in Safaricom is just KES 277 million.

Hii comment ilitakiwa iwe ya kwanza ili wakenya wote waone na kuelewa, I doubt kama wataelewa though.
