Minority shareholders are punished when shares cannot be treated. The crime committed is buying shares approved by SC and Bursa? Lifting suspension us performing justice. In this case, certain people should be restricted from selling for at least 1 week.

In any case, the net assets is well above current mkt price,rights issue was at 2.55 in 2016. The price to take out minority shareholders should be more than 1.00

@John, privatisation needs a lot of cash. Already heavily in debt, where to find the required fund? Also, privatisation means pumping more money into illiquid assets. This is not in line with SAA of Nazim per Star news last month.

@john, agree with you. Think the uptrend with increased volume is related to dividend announcement to be made very soon

Next dividend announcement is due

1st Q 2022

1st Q 2021 production 8.3% higher than last year. ASP?

SAA that Nazim talked about required assets to be sold and the cash proceeds be made available for LTAT to implement reallocation of assets.

NTA1.62. If half is cash, is closing price 78 sen represents high price?

NTA 1.61 is not meaningful if the assets are mainly illiquid assets. But if half of the assets is sold, giving cash per share 80 sen and other asset per share 81 sen, then? The group is actively selling assets for cash, so that money can be used to invest in more liquid assets. How can LTAT get the cash from subsidiaries and associates that sold assets? Dividend!

The hidden words in the article need to be understood

Notice that since Star's interview with Ahmad Nazim on 23/3/22, price has gone up from 61.5 sen to 76 sen. More than 23%!

Obviously, mbsb has Ltd cash to buy MIDF. Therefore will issue more shares in acquisition. At what price and value in this exercise since NTA of mbsb is 1.20?

I hope the armed forces that own Affin bank will not shoot down and bombed those guys that suggest Affin bank should not get back the money

EPS from sales of assets in 1st half 2022 already 25 sen min. Normal operating seen to be improving. 1.20 Is reasonable target for the time being.

Just Wait for coming AGM and related announcement

Divided payment has been stopped for years. 2021 a very profitable yr. Will Kuok brothers pay?

Under previous CEO, mbsb demonstrated poor performance. Making operation bigger thro acquisition???

Final dividend 6 sen for 2021 bsased on 70% of EPS?

Rights issue at 2.55 in 2016, followed by bonus issues. Both on 2 for 5 basis. What is the take out price in case of privatisation?

The purchaser is willing to pay higher prices. Keep it up!

Who has been collecting? A New Major shareholder could have entered.

1 sen Final dividend for 2021

From 1991 to 2014, dividend paid by LTAT had been at least 10%. Guess it should revive the past glory.

Page 215 of AR2020 indicated dividend payout policy of minimum 70%. In view of this, i think it will declare close to dividend of 6 sen when 2021 AR is ready.

There should be some plantation stocks hitting limit up, just like some glove manufacturers at thier peaks! Lower price counter such as Bplant have better chance! Good nite and good luck to all!

Dividend 10.5 sen. Vs 8.8 sen Last year

another 2.5 sen dividend

Key concern is the pty sector

All the 5 divisions are doing better.

BHIC and Affin results still not out.

QR of boustead will be released together with its subsidiaries/associate or after their release. Dividend policy minimum 70%. This coming QR should come with dividend

@John, i like your opinion and hope for the best! Wishing you success and prosperity plus good health!

Wages should be pegged to productivity

Next dividend announcement expected next week.

Uptrend started

EPS 2021 could be better than 2020 which recorded EPS 14.5 SEN.

Dividend announcement next week. Can expect interim 3 sen plus special 5 sen

Mkt price always move in the opposite direction of target price given by HLIB.

Major shareholders with intention to privatise are unlikely to pay high dividend. They are more likely to hide favourable info to press down prices. But Robert K privatised Jerneh many years and offered fair deal.

A lot of hidden net worth. Major shareholders willing to share in dividend pmt. Just keep the shares patiently For dividend and possibly favourable corporate exercise.

MD sold 6.315 million warrants at 12 sen. What does this means?

Hopefully, the pmt decision is based on favourable development. Anyway, the price can only move up with this announcement. Just a matter of how much.

Next thing is to sell at a loss or hold on for next QR with expectation of turnaround and resumption of dividend pmt.

I thought the largest shareholder has resigned at least 2 years ago? Anyway, 3 sen interim and 5 sen special dividend is for sure in next dividend announcement.

2.5 sen dividend. Is this the first pleasant surprise in the so called unlock value exercise?

It will hit 15 sen soon

First conmen i met this decade

Gone for one day tour

All profitable banks derived substantial fee based income such as comm from insurance, unit trust and FX as these will not involve loan impairments. MBSB is totally out in the most profitable sector. It relies on lending and costs of funds are high since it pay higher FD rates. Without such awareness and changes, you can continue to hold the counter like EPF, the caretaker of retirement funds for millions of workers.
