@Eric Fong, totally agree. That's why I am a big believer in Affin. Actually, I am excited that it's gone down so I can buy more. Monitoring like an Eagle.

Omg guys, I was being SARCASTIC. lol

I AM A BIG BELIEVER IN AFFIN!

Speakup: you need a course in Sarcasm. The sudden drop of Affin can only mean the bank went bankrupt which isn't the case.

Sooooo, what's going on guys? Has Affin gone bankrupt? Can anyone explain, and when is a good time to buy?

Does the sale to the Sarawak gov mean there won't be any more sell pressure by LTAT? I assume Sarawak gov won't be under pressure to sell the stock and is in for the long haul, could also contribute to bank's performance.

Happy I bought in!

Chill, fear no more.. Everything is under control.. I accumulated more at the right time. Thanks for those who sold.

Seems 1mdb reputation is preventing people from looking through to the opportunity of this bank. Maybe a harsh awakening will come one day to the doomsters.

@lawrence86, PE ratio is key. I am an investor not a trader. AMMBANK PE is 7
CIMB PE is 14
MAYBANK is 12

AMMBANK is much better yield wise.

Collected more today

I would like to be included in group discussions please.. is there a more active platform?

I would like to be included in group discussions please.. is there a more active platform?

I am in..

@Speakup that this may very well be the bottom price. The only way is up.

I have been collecting with every price drop

Most other banking stocks are collapsing except this one. This should tell everyone something.

Thanks TheContrarian, but Bloomberg says P/E Ratio20.47, simply wallst says 27.2

Why is Affin's PE ratio so high atm and is this temporary due to the tax payments or will it be permanent?

Sadly the ship has sailed otherwise I would have increased my holding.

@TheContrarian.. Thanks.. please check your private messages on this website

Hello all.. new to this counter.. anyone can give a quick history about company and outlook?

@TheContrarian, any reason why the 4th Quarter results were in the red?

If it goes lower than 2 I am going to transfer funds from Saudi.. So happy with my Malaysia investment..

Joined the club today.. Tucking myself in for the long ride.

TheContrarian.. monitoring bought a little Mycron

I still have unused cash divs. Need a good bargain stock.. my criteria for a good bargain:
1- low pe ratio
2- high book value
3- nearer to 52 week low price
4- regular divs..
5- No financial troubles..
Any suggestions?

I am patiently waiting to buy more at a price I like. Already got lots of Affin. But cash is king.

Being as moderate as possible, EVERYONE please list your highest predicted price Affin might touch in the NEXT 52 weeks.
Mine, I would say 2.99

I am patiently waiting to increase my holding. Wish i had bought alot more when it hit 1.30 range

I don't mind Affin going lower so I can purchase more with the left over cash divs

Affin is a different kind of beast since beginning of Dec 2022. Last DRP, it plunged to RM1.87 (even with special dividend approaching). This DRP (only 3 months later- NO SPECIAL DIVIDEND APPROACHING) won't go below RM2.03. Key word: MCSI.

@Jguy, DRP of course. But only a portion of the cash can be used for DRP, tye rest will be cash.

Congrats Affinians, DRP price is RM1.85, average target price above RM2.60. Price difference RM0.80.

Pe ratio 3.21 +
Added to MCSI Index +
Average target price above 2.60
= Stock extremely undervalued

@Marks, please explain

Thanks TheContrarian, today new target price by RHB: 2.80.

Just a reminder, Affin will be added to MSCI Index 30th Nov. The REAL journey hasn't started yet.

MSCI Indexes have the power to change the market. When an index is rebalanced, all the ETFs and mutual funds that track it must buy and sell the same stocks. Stocks that are added to the index usually find their share prices rising. The opposite happens to stocks that are dropped from an index.

According to Bloomberg, among seven analysts who track Affin Bank, six have a "buy" call on the stock, while one gives a "hold" recommendation, with an average 12-month target price of RM2.64.
In other words, we are no where near the target yet.

@TheContrarian: not so fast. Did you forget the entrance of Affin into MCSI index on 30 Nov? There will be hungry buyers for those sellers.

Good Morning Affinians! Such a lovely day!

@Peace99 I always tell my broker to do it on my behalf

@kitmanworld, The book value for Affin is 4.66 per share. The stock is worth much more than current price.

@TheContrarian, That's where I disagree with you.. Affin has bigger potential after the dividend, don't you agree? I think everyone is looking past the dividend.

TheContrarian, the question should be: Why is EPF buying at this price?

TheContrarian: So quite here = Maybe I shouldn't have sold early. Just a tease bro wink wink

I'm in for the long run, been buying for 7 years, never sold and won't sell below 4

TheContrarian: 2.5 million shares have been sold and the price is still holding up means alot. EPF is a distress seller and buyers are bargain hunters. Once the distress seller stops selling, guess where the price would go?

Investors! Keep Affin for the long haul. In my opinion It's not for sale below 3.

Seems there are lots of vultures awaiting to buy a dying Affin. To no avail.
