Recommended Stock Purchase

I would recommend that investors buy Kenya Re-Insurance which has;

Price = KES 2.06

PE Ratio = 3.404

EPS = 0.6375

Market Capitalization = 6,075,557,910

The PE Ratio implies that the stock is undervalued and investors will earn good capital gains as the economy recovers from Covid-19
