Net debt to equity ratio: 40% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (40% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (150% cash payout ratio).공시 • Nov 20Vodacom Reportedly in Talks to Add Stake in ZAR 157 Billion SafaricomVodacom Group (Vodacom Group Limited) (JSE:VOD) is in talks with Kenya about potentially acquiring part of the government’s stake in Safaricom Ltd. (NASE:SCOM), according to people familiar with the matter. The Johannesburg-based company already owns 39.93% of East Africa’s largest listed company, and is considering increasing its stake in the business, although no final decisions have been made, according to one of the people, who asked to remain anonymous as the information is still private. A second person confirmed shareholding talks between the two. Vodacom and Safaricom declined to comment. Kenyan National Treasury officials were not immediately available to comment. Safaricom Kenya’s biggest wireless carrier with close to two-thirds of the country’s subscribers is valued at ZAR 157 billion. For the Kenyan government, selling some of its stake in the profitable business will assist with its efforts to raise revenue as it pushes to address growing debt costs and budget deficits. Vodacom previously increased its stake in Safaricom through an all-share deal with its UK parent Vodafone in 2017. Vodacom and Safaricom want to further expand M-Pesa, already Africa’s largest and fastest-growing mobile money business.Price Target Changed • Oct 15Price target increased by 10% to KSh32.36Up from KSh29.38, the current price target is an average from 7 analysts.

Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 3.8% per year over the past 5 years.

New Risk • Jan 03New minor risk - Financial positionThe company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 40% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (40% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (150% cash payout ratio).
공시 • Nov 20Vodacom Reportedly in Talks to Add Stake in ZAR 157 Billion SafaricomVodacom Group (Vodacom Group Limited) (JSE:VOD) is in talks with Kenya about potentially acquiring part of the government’s stake in Safaricom Ltd. (NASE:SCOM), according to people familiar with the matter. The Johannesburg-based company already owns 39.93% of East Africa’s largest listed company, and is considering increasing its stake in the business, although no final decisions have been made, according to one of the people, who asked to remain anonymous as the information is still private. A second person confirmed shareholding talks between the two. Vodacom and Safaricom declined to comment. Kenyan National Treasury officials were not immediately available to comment. Safaricom Kenya’s biggest wireless carrier with close to two-thirds of the country’s subscribers is valued at ZAR 157 billion. For the Kenyan government, selling some of its stake in the profitable business will assist with its efforts to raise revenue as it pushes to address growing debt costs and budget deficits. Vodacom previously increased its stake in Safaricom through an all-share deal with its UK parent Vodafone in 2017. Vodacom and Safaricom want to further expand M-Pesa, already Africa’s largest and fastest-growing mobile money business.

New Risk • Jan 03New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings have declined by 3.8% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 3.8% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Large one-off items impacting financial results.
