stingy management ....it has turned out to be dead counter . I think no point in holding anymore coz v little div n can't see any prospects of turning your investment in multiples...

Posted by prudentinvestor > Oct 6, 2015 10:13 AM | Report Abuse

If you had bought at below RM 4.4 just over a month ago, you would have over 10% net profit by today.

Forget about the foreign exchange gain n all those monies kept in coffer ; it is meant to pay for directors fees year in year out . As for minority shareholders , your capitals had been diminished with the ringgit depreciation n getting pittance div ( @ 1+ % ) for the shares invested . Capital not only shrunk but with the no of years invested, U can easily get compensated for other shares where though its capitals depreciated but u still get constant div to compensate for...If u think the management will give u a bumper div pay out , u must be day dreaming....

I fully agree . I have been holding these shares for 3-4 years but have started reducing my holdings. I have got tired of the management and their pittance dividends. Had I used my capitals to invest in some other shares I would have got better returns.

Even if it revalues all its assets at 50% of market price, Keck Seng will still be worth at least RM 10 a share.

From the buying volume this morning, presume the share price may recover to 6.00 soon.

If the company really goes ahead with its proposed share buy back to 10% of its issued share capital ( 36 million shares) Keck Seng's shares should easily move up to above RM 8.00 a share.

Keck Seng's foreign exchange gain is expected to be substantial when the company reports its third quarter financial results later this month.

Posted by bjaya > Nov 6, 2015 8:30 PM | Report Abuse

you must be holding a substantial amount of this share to post this view. Tonnes of patience is needed for this to come through on this safe bet though.

Posted by prudentinvestor > Nov 9, 2015 3:57 PM | Report Abuse

I hold less than 20,000 shares. The more the Ringgit drops, the more Keck Seng is going to benefit. Its foreign exchange gain so far this year is around RM 120 million.

Posted by bjaya > Nov 10, 2015 9:37 PM | Report Abuse

But with the stingy BOD, would the gain be translated into our gains? Yes it would I believe, but u need tonnes of patience to this expectation fulfilled. Good luck !

prudentinvestor If the company really goes ahead with its proposed share buy back to 10% of its issued share capital ( 36 million shares) Keck Seng's shares should easily move up to above RM 8.00 a share.

Keck Seng's share price dropped to below RM 4.40 a share nearly three months ago. The company's share buy back scheme has already pushed up Keck Seng;s share price to RM 5.10 a share. So far the company has bought back less than 0.5 million shares, still long long way to reach 36 million shares.

PrudentInvestor- looking back at the average PAT of 70mil/year, does it mean to say KS will record profit of 190mil of profit this year? (120mil + 70mil).

The company can choose not to report all its foreign exchange gains. The RM 120 million forex gain is based on 1 US$ = RM 4.36 and 1 S$ =RM 3.06

The reported foreign exchange gain was RM 91.6 million and the gain from divestment of shares RM 51.5 million. These two items already contribute 75% of Keck Seng's net profit during the first nine months of its financial year. The company actually can afford to make a bonus issue of at least 4 for 1 just based on its balance sheet.

Keck Seng has been enjoying good profits for years but the management refused to distribute more dividend to the shareholders. Not much hope for a bumper dividend. They are too kiam siap. Hard to move the price if catalyst is not available.

Hv to be optimistic.A 1 for 2 bonus and share split is sufficient to boost the current pricing, Jz hoping for some good news in near term. Cheers!!!
