Read the company through seven evidence paths.
Each lens has its own disclosed scale; this is not an aggregate score, forecast or peer ranking.
- Bid-ask spread and executable trade size are not verified.
- Missing NSE exchange dates remain gaps and are not interpolated.
- Cross-currency and total-return comparisons are withheld unless dates, dividends and FX treatment match.

03 · Descriptive reading
Three views of the same record.
These transformations expose change, recent direction and recorded position. They are not forecasts, total returns or estimates of value.
Last 20 recorded sessions · no calendar-time substitution.
04 · Ownership and tradability
Reported ownership, without a free-float guess.
The cited filing accounts for the complete issued-share structure. Registered ownership remains separate from tradable free float, bid-ask depth and executable size.

From company record to listed tape.
This is an evidence sequence, not a causal model. A missing filing cannot be replaced by a price, and a price move cannot prove an operating cause.

What can be traced to a retained document?
Market dates and reporting periods remain separate. The official archive is indexed, while normalized on-page coverage is stated independently.
Safaricom financial-results archive
Annual result materials from FY2008 and interim result materials from H1 FY2009.
The official archive is a discovery register. Older documents are linked but are not represented as normalized time-series observations until document-level extraction and locator review pass.

Follow the source boundary, not the decoration.
Each number is either a primary-source fact, a labelled calculation from cited inputs, or absent. The page does not bridge a missing fact with an estimate.
The price record keeps its official venue cadence, date and currency. Missing dates remain missing.
Open exchange source 02 · Issuer authoritySafaricom financial-results archiveThe archive supports discovery. Values enter the fact layer only with a retained document, period, locator and review state.
Open issuer archivePercentage change equals current divided by prior comparable observation minus one. No FX or dividend adjustment is implied.
Tradable free float, bid-ask depth, executable size, consensus and cross-market total returns stay absent until comparable evidence supports them.

Read the complete verification note
Regional issuer records use official exchange and issuer disclosures. Completed-session closes and delayed current quotes remain distinct. Twelve-month price paths retain each venue's honest cadence: daily official NSE closes for Safaricom and 12 official USE report-month observations for MTN Uganda because the USE daily-history endpoint returned no observations. Price changes are descriptive and price-only; financial statements retain audit status, period, currency, source hash and PDF locators.
Official archive breadth and normalized analytical depth are distinct. Listing an older document does not make its values comparable or part of the page until extraction and locator review pass.
