they really want a finger in every pie

"... Boustead Holdings is believed to be preparing to dispose of its interest in BPlant and had invited proposals on the sale of its stake two weeks ago.

The Edge had learnt that some of the big names bidding for the stake included YTL Group, Wilmar International Bhd, IOI Corp Bhd and Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd — all of whom are already big players in the plantation industry, except for YTL. " https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/671836

a bigger American investment bank Morgan Stanley also bought Media Prima shares previously and i think still holding ... But nothing great came out from there. just for discussion sake and something to ponder.

sold at 50% profit. i know i'll regret it as always. just like ytlpower. u guys should wait. :) Anyway what's so special about UBS being the new shareholder? "Disclosure triggered due to the legal closing of the merger between UBS Group AG and Credit Suisse Group AG and the aggregation of the relevant interest of both companies as upon closing Credit Suisse Group AG ceased to exist and UBS Group AG was the surviving entity." It's a known public info that previously HSBC NOMINEES ASING SDN BHD – CREDIT SUISSE HONG KONG LIMITED held 506,561,781 shares on record dated 22 Sep 2022. Now the merged entity triggered the 5% disclosure threshold.

most if not all would have their own fair share of "i buy too early". u can never time the market. I already kena burnt by acting on "omg how low can sports toto, sp setia get" . it can and it got lower. oouch. lesson : don't be a hero. lol :P

only dare to enter below its net asset value for a diversified business; a conglomerate discount. dividend payout is uncertain.

i wonder who subscribe to the PP ? how come no disclose if a single party subscribe 5% shareholding or more.

maybe they should merge with other small banks like MBSB, BIMB, Alliance Bank, Bank Muamalat . Too small to compete with those big boys. Or those big boys come makan (takeover) these little boys. :P

@DividendGuy67. Bank Islam Holdings undergone a demerger process in 2021 by way of distribution via reduction and repayment to shareholders . Takaful's arm now fully separate. I think BIMB shares is not all time low yet or that very low as you claimed if you factor that in. Correct? I'm not that 100% sure.

very incompetent. thats why they say blue blood is no guarantee of any particular merit, competence, or expertise.

oh no. they rather sell than to wait for the upcoming dividend?

maybe it's safer to buy at or below its net asset value of 3.11

kenanga partly to blame. announce to the world that they want to borrow your hapseng shares and pay you 3% interest . short demand must be so big .

following trend is a winner at this moment unfortunately

reminds me of those glove stocks. reversion to reality

@prudentinvestor. agree. keck seng is undervalued.

someone go invite Mr Tong Kooi Ong to buy. need people like him to stir the public attention on how independent directors can simply approve a related party transaction. https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/668812

eg. Keck Seng trades at a DISCOUNT , at half of its book value. https://www.malaysiastock.biz/Corporate-Infomation.aspx?securityCode=3476
Hap Seng , on the other hand trades at a PREMIUM about 1.3 times

yeah book value , net asset value , net tangible assets, same meaning

its book value is at RM3.11 .. its business is diversified.. such peers usually have holding company discount isn't it?

hapseng still trades at a premium to its net asset value. maybe that's why those short sellers so big balls to bet against it? i would never dare to short, but also agree that when it's downtrend ... it is always downTREND... No one will know the bottom.

Among all the public listed local banks (Alliance, AmBank, Affin, CIMB, Hong Leong, Maybank, Public Bank, RHB), is it fair to say BIMB is the worst managed bank? Very incompetent management RELATIVELY to the other banks. Fair or unfair statement?

or is the market expecting some report from muddy waters or hindenburg research soon?

received the same announcement from Kenanga when logged in. i dont own Hap Seng... but when i saw that notification, i was like omg what happen to this darling stock? thought it's solid company. is what kenanga doing is legal?

good quarterly result with good profit margin despite no more asset management (sold).

why not ask them to do buyback instead? company no money ka?

yay. another dividend. what's not to like ? stable solid dividend.

its downtrend .. no one will know how low it can get

You can submit questions to the management for the upcoming AGM.

SM want. DP World also want. But Sabah government want to have control of its own port. Dilemma la.

Compare this two food ingredients manufacturing companies side by side... 3A is relatively much undervalue than AJI. I invested in 3A for their stable growth.

"The revenue of the Group for the current quarter of RM165.167 million was 25.9% higher than RM131.235 million recorded in the corresponding quarter in the preceding year and was mainly due to higher average selling prices and higher quantities of products sold. However, the Group's profit before tax decreased by 15.8% to RM14.363 million from RM17.054 million and was mainly a result of higher main raw materials costs in the current quarter under review" POSITIVE : growth is strong... revenue increasing every year. NEGATIVE : costs gone higher (inflation) affecting its profit margin. Any investors that like the growth narrative should invest in this company.

i find that their store n branding cannot compete with Happy Mart , Family Mart, 7 Eleven. at first i think that's just me. every individual has different taste. but when asked my friends, all view the same. But in Malaysia where 70% of population is Malay, you want to target the Malay appetite .. like TeaLive.. I guess they need to rebrand their MyNews . Even near my place , CU.... i find it can't compete with its competitors. Will this retail share price become like another Parkson?

despite company losing money, the management reward themselves with bonuses. best nia ini.

F&N buying Cocoaland, Wilmar should buy 3A..

i think the market wants to see the company distribute its higher profits...reward its shareholders with dividend. else it's just another value trap companies. i'm still wondering why is Ah Hock in/out little bit. Just make general offer la.

KNM board is now controlled by TY people. For some strange reason, TY seem to always keen in this sector. Previously, Malaysian Merchant Marine Berhad (MMM) , Trenergy Berhad, Siam Power .. Not good outcome on company level. I honestly don't know why he thinks he can turn around KNM with almost same people. I wonder if they benefited or shouldn't it be "once bitten, twice shy" case?

its largest shareholder need money. LTAT needs to declare dividend to its members too. Need to make everyone happy. Then election. :)

Compared to ajinomoto which has about same revenue category, 3A is definitely trading at much cheaper valuation in many metrics (P/E, P/BV etc) .
https://www.malaysiastock.biz/Corporate-Infomation.aspx?securityCode=2658
since the market does not value 3A, i think the major shareholders should privatised the company or even Wilmar can just offer wholly.

Boustead should do some restructuring...demerger... like what CCM did with its subsidiary Duopharma via capital reduction, distribution and share consolidation. I believe they will do that if privatisation is off the table.

yup. i agree that GE15 is coming soon and all the feel good factor.
I suspect BSTEAD or LTAT most probably will win the digital banking as well. Need to please the army too.

Can someone explain what is Mr Teo Kwee Hock actually trying to achieve? Create liquidity? He has been buying/selling for the past 2 or 3 years right?

the group's business in Sri Lanka will have big impairment and forex losses due to the crisis there.
