When you think it is already low, it will go lower....cash is better then paper now...the only place is gold

The world is in a chaotic situation and some of it are relating to the middle east religious and racial issues, and Malaysia lately has many issues stirring up due to religious and racial issues too and this does not bodes well with investors, there is no advantage to invest in Malaysia since the economy is in a murky situation and Investors will stay away. Stay vigilant

Foreign investors continued to sell down Bursa Msia, fundamentally Bursa Msia should be able to absorb the current selling by some institutional buying, but if confident were shaken, retailers join in the movement, you could see FTSE Bursa correcting down to 1500 level. And like I say, others world major market is behaving very erratically, better watch on the side line, my humble advice.

Private entities should never be use as a subsidizing enterprise, the banks should work for investors and social subsidy should be the responsibilities of the gov. Gov intervention will leave a bad taste on the investors.

I am always consistent in criticizing MBSB management, I am always clear headed for my investments. If you are aware of the news lately, external market is turning cautious.

Yes, if you refer to the PB, it is under value by about 35%, but it is traded at this price because PE is poor for this counter compared to the other banks. MBSB in my opinion has the poorest management amount banks and it is the main reason why it is constantly under perform. If you have holding power, just hold for its dividend until the management can turn it around and expand their profits, but it usually disappoints.

Did I ask to sell? Cannot understand simple English?

US brewing for a crash down, trade with care. World market is behaving in a very abnormal way although Msia market is healthy but will still be affected if there is a shake up in the major world markets. If you have bought just hold on to it, up or down, do not chase it is my advise.

4sen is quite fair and doable I think. Since the ROE is so low for MBSB, the incapable management can decapitalized and return some money to their investors to raise their ROE, so a 10% return + dividends will be nice...haha

no need to daydream, MBSB has been paying dividends without fail in the last 8 years, so it is fair to expect dividends to be paid this year, you can find the info herein this website, however having said that, I have never suggested that dividends will be more or same as last year 8.5sen hor.

Last 3Q until Sept 23 had been profitable abet lesser then the last few years before, so there's a likelyhood that dividend will be announced either this quarter or the next quarter. If 4th Q result good will be a bonus....still price under book value but unlikely to advance too much unless 4Q is good. Bare in mind, MIDF numbers might be added to MBSB for the 4th Q...this might boost the earnings.

Why I say the management is lousy, go look through MBSB historical price data, since April 2016 till now, highest is RM1.55 and lowest is RM0.46, average is RM0.849, so.....the guru please tell us, why is the management to be praised if you have invested this company for 8 years but now has still not even reach the average price of RM0.849 when the other banks are already at their high after covid? The management ought to be sacked

Kenanga latest article on MBSB cannot even get its target price consistently right, and call themselves analyst.... everyone know their analysis is not credible.

Kenanga has zero credibility in MBSB, on one hand they are pushing out and is selling call warrant at 88sen and on the other hand valuating MBSB at 63sen, contradicting themselves...those listening to K really has got to get their head checked.

MBSB did not break and governing regulation of Bursa, so there nothing that the regulators can do to it's trading share price, but however the management is the one that can do something like giving some positive announcement or news to maintain or prop up the share price, but unfortunately after drawing big salary, no one care to do any investors relation business...sorry to say it but as I maintain, this is a useless management that does nothing for their investors.

Have what, they goreng down can't you tell?

MBSB has mislead some investors saying that after finalizing MIDF acquisition will declare a final dividend but did not fulfill its promises....this type of management can trust?

The selling at the tail end of today's trading is insane, MBSB has been sold down on a up market week.... obliviously some big investors are saying enough is enough....not waiting anymore for miracles...tio boh?

The selling pattern everyday is exactly the same.

Fundamentally the bank is fine, enter when the market is down is still ok I think, but it will always maintain underperform and can hardly go up unless the management overhaul itself. When market rise, it will raise with the tide but always behind the main movers. Not for speculator, weak holders and those trying to time the market cannot win on this counter.

Operating expenses is 170.6 million and impairment allowance of 85.1 million drag down the profit...this is what I have been saying all along that the management is lousy, fattening themselves at lighting speed and working at snail pace.

After NOSH adjustment, earnings reduce from 0.46 to 0.4...so indeed the earnings has drop like 70%, that would basically meant cost went up? Where the money goes? Although it is still profitable, which is good news when it didn't fall into negative territory but still the question remain as why cost is so high?

Revenue continue to go up but earning come down drastically, where did the money go? Due to new issue shares? How about MIDF revenue and earnings? Something is not right here.

Some big gun has been unloading millions of shares since 0.74sen, and have not seen any declaration from institutional share holders of this unloading exercise....when is it stopping? Better don't touch this at this moment of volatility

I have no doubt some one in MBSB read this forum...so be vocal when you are not happy on their performance....take them to task

That is what a lot of people holding now hope to believe, but I don't, I believe investors should pressured MBSB management to act for better performance, believing they will do their job while they're not is not working for investors...except for alen....this management is really trash.

You are missing the whole point, is not the price I am complaining, at this price is a steal...the problem is will it grow? Buying purely for its cheapness is pointless, management must grow its value. Look at some of the investors here holding it for years, what do they get besides some dividends? Devaluation of share price...

This is my last as I am out of this counter, will never come back and wait eternity for it to breach the RM1 mark...I better go for Singapore banks, better return and stable

This is a bank shares, not ah long company, the management must understand the importance of maintaining stability on their share price and knowing how to act defensively when encountering a sell down for such a prolong period....why support and throw good money to this kind of management and support them?

Excellent management, telling investors that final dividend will be declared after MIDF acquisition and then after qtr results telling investors that interim already paid 8.5sen and therefore no dividend this time. This is the type of management Alan here promote....go google and understand how management affect share price lah, if trading at 50% discount wasn't attributes to management, what is?....goons.

At 72.5sen I think it is still worth while to hold, ask super long term holder like Alan and he will happily tell you that he hold for years, lost money when the counter is selling at 0.5 PB and still think the management is super good when is just mediocre. He ought to get his head check..

Luckily I sold my holding.

Yes, indeed a lousy management of MBSB....always disappoint Ing investor.

Was poorly managed, but now is better. Aren't you tired?

Kenanga has never been right on MBSB all this years, their stock views are as good as trash... whatever that is not in their portfolio will be talk down

When new shares were listed so the revenue, cash and profit of MIDF will also be included in MBSB financials, don't think of new shares diluting the profits, might increase the profits and even lead to higher dividends. Wait for the next qtr report....

New boss officially on board next Monday, what will he do?

Will the big road block at 66sen suddenly disappear and let MBSB resume its journey towards 75sen?

14 million shares traded but still traded down while other banks are mostly on big bull run the last 1 week.

Expect the acquisition of MIDF to be completed by 1st July and announcement of post merger dividend, I am really keen to see how market is going to drive the price of MBSB and what is the co-relations of the new issue price of 96sen, something interesting could be developing there.

Even incompetent brunch will have its day, the market has spoken, and from 5 -6 years ago till now, look at what the price of MBSB then and now, what value except disappointment have MBSB bring for their loyal supporters?

I did not change my mind about the people, still incompetent brunch, otherwise it will not be trading at 50% discount not? I invest in the company but still wish there are better people managing it.

At this juncture, trade MBSB on facts and not sentiments.
1. Before acquisition of MIDF MBSB is already trading at PB of 0.5 (or lesser), the most discounted bank in Malaysia, so based on this fact, it has limited down side but huge upside potential.
2. After acquisition of MIDF, earnings increases, revenue increases, based on this facts, the price if continue trading at this level means it is probably 0.3 PB value which to me is senseless to remain at the this price level, it is only a matter of time the market wisdom will sets in to move the price higher as the quarter progress.
3. MBSB already said there is another post merger dividend, when this is finalize and announce, you think you can get MBSB at 65sen?
4. If banks in Malaysia continue its fine run, there is even the possibility of another interim dividend.
5. MBSB is emerging as the biggest or 2nd biggest Islamic bank in Malaysia.
6. High possibility of adding MBSB as an KLCI Index stock in the very near future.
To me, this is the best time to invest in MBSB, not for short term punting but as a mid term investment.

The market has spoken today, fair value for me is 85sen at the current juncture

MBSB was trading at 0.5 PB which is insane in my opinion, but that's the market wisdom...but now with MIDF revenue and profit taking into considerations, even if it is still traded and value at 0.5 PB, the price would have to be higher, cannot be 63sen anymore....u see my point?

DIVIDEND As at the date of the SPA: (a) MBSB had distributed the MBSB Pre-Completion Dividend in full on 17 April 2023 to its shareholders; and (b) MIDF had distributed the MIDF Pre-Completion Dividend in full on 31 March 2023 to its sole shareholder, the Vendor. Further, subject always to receipt of the approval from BNM, MBSB shall use its reasonable endeavours to declare a post-completion dividend whether as interim and/or final dividends within 12 months after PNB is registered as a shareholder of the Final Consideration Shares in the register of depositors of MBSB. To the extent all or any part of such Post-Completion Dividend approved by BNM not being declared and distributed within such period specified above, MBSB shall use its reasonable endeavours to declare and distribute such undistributed amount of Post-Completion Dividend approved by BNM in due course whether as interim and/or final dividends. For the avoidance of doubt, MBSB may take into account the working capital requirements, applicable legal requirements or restrictions in declaring the Post-Completion Dividend referred to above.

Possible, because after the acquisition the PE, PB, revenue all will changed and very possible to have a re-rating. Fair value will surely go up....besides can collect final dividend....very good news for MBSB in the coming weeks.

Key point of the notification is there will be a final dividend declare by the end of this acquisition in the coming weeks, therefore it is now clear why they have declared the last dividend as interim dividend and not the final. Congrats to those holding this counter, Monday it will rise a few notches I guess...

painful to see the market being dumped like that

KLCI has been dropping since mid April in tandem with the ringgit, it has dropped beyond Mar 2023 low of 1391, currently at this support level, any major drop beyond this point will be very ugly, somehow, either gov or monitory authority should be stepping out to stable the market, but too bad all still sleeping and see the nation suffer.
