Analyst brief
# Kenya Power and Lighting Company Plc (KPLC)
An overall verdict is withheld because the data is thin: the newest financial statement is 28 months old, and only two full years of history are available when three are normally required for reliable pattern-spotting.
Within those constraints, individual facts merit attention. The value pillar ranks highest, with a P/E of 7.2 and price-to-book of 0.36, paired with an earnings yield of 13.9% that exceeds the 364-day T-bill rate by 4.8 percentage points; revenue and earnings also grew sharply, expanding 153.8% year-over-year. Health shows mixed signals: all nine F-Score checks passed, but interest coverage sits at only 1.5×, flagging limited headroom to service debt. Quality faces headwinds—ROE stands at 5.0%, net margin at 2.9%, and debt-to-equity reaches 3.67×—though the margin has improved by 2.1 percentage points over the observation window and revenue has never declined. The company has paid no dividends in either of the two observed fiscal years.
KPLC trades at 22.05 KES as of 2 November 2026. Momentum is still building history (data collection began 2 July 2026), so trend direction remains unknown. Liquidity is moderate: median daily turnover approximates KES 16.2 million, though this represents only 3.8 basis points of estimated market capitalisation. The confidence grade is C, reflecting both the age and sparseness of underlying financials. A fresh annual filing would clarify whether recent patterns persist and whether the company intends to resume dividend payments.
