Why EPF not yet announce 2015 dividend? Will they give better than 7% since Media Prima can yet EPF sell?

YOY profit increase 313%.
http://www.malaysiastock.biz/Latest-Announcement.aspx

Cannot understand why research houses and EPF so bullish on Astro. I prefer newspaper stocks eg Media Prima and Media C for exposure to media sector for their high dividend yield.

Astro free channel so who want to subscribe(pay)?

Next week QR out sure cantik.

Where were Anzo last week. Only last 2 days move up strongly. So Datuk Chai XOX turn next week?

Nothing is impossible. Even Datuk Chai Anzo can move up strongly why not XOX and W next week?

harta999 yes by shares because Hibiscus don't have RM 200 million cash.

While no guarantee this month QR profitable but this year likely to end profitable(RM 15 million?) when construction profit start rolling in.

Why I said so? When existing Telco have to pay extra for spectrum so they have to charge extra to their customers to maintain profit. XOX no need to pay extra(for spectrum so no need to charge extra) so more people will use their products.

Najib recent announcement on spectrum is meant to help XOX.

Proton recall costly but it'll rebuild trust-NST 19th Feb.

Once Corwin disposal completed DRB will report huge gain.

domperrier I think they are likely to cut the div...maybe to 1c .

Nestle RM 75 DPS 305 sen vs BAT RM 55.84 but DPS higher at 312 sen. Why no logic? Mohd I want to know your answer since you say EPF sell.

If compare with TNB, Telekom, Sime Darby, glove stocks(Top Glove, Supermax, Harta, etc) BAT DY is better.

If dividend maintain 6 sen Hong Leong TP RM 1.45 mean DY 4.14%.

Good for banking stocks like Maybank, CIMB, etc.

I have trading accounts with all the financial institutions in Malaysia and my loan limit exceeds Rm 100 million. I have always been using the loan to nearly the approved limits. As a result, I have margin call in the recent market down turn.

Visa waiver for China tourists a go-NST 18th Jan.

If someone want to cut cost when travel by air use AirAsia. Cheaper than MAS.

Actually I am a fan of Lee Chong Wei. That's why I like XOX. Also find out XOX is doing mobile Telco business. Good to those who like to cut cost(not cutlost) because XOX can offer cheaper mobile telco line compare to Digi, Maxis, U Mobile and others.

Those who don't know me I am placed no 2 in TKW stock picks competition as attached.

If not mistaken CUTLOST own Wintoni. What happen to Wintoni now?

Loss making stock Frontkn also 18 sen why profitable XOX only 16 sen. Listen more to CUTLOST he bring you to Holland.

Cut loss is valid for PN 17 or loss making counters but not growing and profitable company.

Other counters had their directors selling for the drop but not XOX. Add more from CUTLOST. I don't cut loss but take profit.

PublicInvest also forecast DPS 3 sen this year like myself.

Proton recall a positive move: HLIB Research

Posted on 18 February 2016 - 05:36am
PETALING JAYA: HLIB Research is positive on the recall exercise by DRB-Hicom Bhd’s subsidiary Proton Holdings Bhd, saying that it will help improve its branding with consumers.

“We are positive on the exercise, as Proton ups its ante to improve its branding to the consumer. The exercise confirms Proton taking up responsibility towards consumer safety as compared to previous practice of fixing the problems only when vehicles are sent in for maintenance,” the research house said in a report.

Proton announced Tuesday a major recall for some 94,577 vehicles involving the Exora, Preve, and Suprima S over a faulty CFE oil cooler hose.

According to management, the cost for the exercise is relatively immaterial at RM2 million.

The national original equipment manufacturer (OEM) admitted the mistakes in selecting the right material for the oil cooler hose. The fix is free for vehicles that are still under warranty as well as vehicles that adhered to the recommended service intervals.

“Negative consumer perception on Proton’s quality has been a major blow to the national OEM. Combined with the current weak consumer sentiment and competitive pricings from other major OEMs, Proton’s sales has dropped to 102,200 units or 15.3% market share (from a high of 60%),” said HLIB.

Moving forward, it said Proton aims to enhance its quality management and revert the negative brand perception. Proton has intensified its inspection program, in order to filter out issues before the assembling process.

Various programmes have also been introduced to improve customer experience and provide more value-added services, such as courtesy car service, pick-up and delivery service, 80-min quick service money-back guarantee, mobile assist service, one-stop customer care line, etc.

HLIB maintained a “buy” call on DRB with an unchanged target price of RM1.45.
