Investing in Maybank not so much for capital gains. the paper gains are 'eye-candy', well, to serious dividend play investors anyway. even if it goes up all the way to RM12, you wont want to realise the gains unless you are cashing all out as you dont think you need further passive income. outside of EPF, this is much higher return albeit riskier to a degree (risky if you are day trader la) or maybe BitCoin now all the rage, better than doing to casino.

nice.. with self DRP and price increase at closing, my paper gain from self DRP just went up by 3.5% compared to if I didnt took action ad buy in any yesterday! on a hindsight should have cancelled my ASM early and buy more earlier last year.

Haha everybody wants better returns and doubt would let go opportunity. I check and found that yesterday the big push was from EPF.

@pang72 Got a feeling wont be able to get at 9.52, cause usually the big boys orders already keyed into queue by brokers on the same evening before ex date after market closed. Unless ex date it falls below 9.53 due to pressure short selling, from experience ex date for Harimau usually takes off quite fast at start of trading day. IMO I also understand that short sellers only short stocks which see falling prices. they usually never short a stock with rising price. It will be suicide for them. Also, they would want to grab all cheap stocks before retail buyers can do so too.

@linges Thanks, time for Tiger to shine

haha... knew it ... 9.83 closing. well played sharks.

Definitely, also the buy rate 45% is low at the moment means got chance for upswing. also if price ex-date above 9.50 I would have gain too.

Yeh, 4.38pm all matched

ooh... looks like 9.81 support level is breaking up?

9.81 strong resistance. someone supporting strongly. looks like I cant get it at 9.80.

@stkoay, I parked 109 lots at 9.80 only 4 lots matched so far. Hopefully by closing can get the remainder. Following your lead for self DRIP and restructuring my asset portfolio :-) Cheers

haha someone said Maybank too big cannot grow? it's like saying EPF too big also cannot grow.

Not financial advise, do your own research. Just sharing for entertainment. Caveat Emptor ya..

For me if the price keepa dropping further, I'll prepare to top up when the price os right as for me this is a dividend stock to me. Until then I'll enjoy my Harimau shares which is climbing higher everyday. Btw that one also I am earning DY at least 7%

Any simpleton who doesn't do their own research or homework and being lazy just rely on others advice must be just a gambler who doesn't risk any amount s/he can't afford to lose. Who can say the price predicted will go up and down is correct or not? HL predicted TP rm5.15 recently. If it doesn't reach rm5.15, will you all sue them? They jo is to predict, it's our job to verify it. Simple

It's the bloody internet, caveat emptor always applies. For a investor with a big pocket, chances are they are serious investors who mist probably have done due diligence. If whales blindly follows, then 'a fool and his money is soon parted'

For me, I'll only be worried if the directors of the company suddenly starts dumping their shareholdings or YTLP loses they IPP license. Until that time, relax jer

Aiyoh, why all so triggered if price fall due to profit taking, consolidation, etc? If you trust this stock buy it if not don't or just sell yours. No need to offer unsolicited advise unless requested. Like they say, our money our decision la. Your money your decision lo. Even of the stock drops below rm1 tomorrow I won't sell even if it's just a small paper profit for me as my DY is still above 7%. Relax laaa

@stkoay nice.. I only bought it much later when I had the funds to invest. oh well better late than never. well said indeed

@stkoay whats your average pricing to date? I only dabble in equities later and only into harimau recent last 2-3 years so my stockpile is lower (20x less than yours, lol) nice accumulation btw.

@stkoay thanks once again for the accurate prediction of RM0.31. Spot on bro.

Great results from YTLP, indeed as expected.

@Dragon328, can you share your thoughts whether if foreign funds are main buyers and our local currency continue to fall to new depths, won't the 'gains' from increase in share price be negated for them? In the longer term unless there is a more positive economic outlook towards Malaysia and hence the Ringgit performance over the other major currrency, it would be a volatile market as foreign funds will treat this as a trading ground to pump and dump to make quick gains?

IMO, Caveat Emptor comes to mind.

Wah.. nice airport, regretted didn't buy more during Covid

Exactly at DY above 6% and stability of Harimau and consistent dividend payout, what's not to like about this counter?

Unless YTLP issues bonus issues like previously in 2014, 2017, 2020. So based on this will they also issue Treasury shares soon? Who knows.

@Agjl, funny i was thinking about the same question too the other day.

I came to conclusion that when the day comes and the price hits rm5.15, assuming no change in dividend payout, I would roughly have paper gain equivalent to approximately 114 years of forward dividend immediately.

I would then diversify all my YTLP portfolio park all proceeds in EPF and max my dividend.

Meanwhile I would wait for next opportunity to buy YTLP on the dip again.

EPF is trading actively over past few weeks... I bet they are trying their best to also generate profits as they will be releasing the 2023 dividend returns by March. Meanwhile all of us are anticipating a healthy 32 sens as well. win-win on both fronts. GG

@dragon328 @cgtan2020 Thanks guys for sharing your thoughts. good to know.

@dragon328 TMB is also on the lookout to venture into data centre business as well. Will this affect YTLP in any way?

@stkoay Yes agreed. Nevertheless always happy to see Harimau wake up again. It was so slow until I stopped looking at it. If this continues, hopefully it can stay around the 9.50 mark. it's time for this stock to set a new high.

Finally! some action.. looking good at 9.22.. falling asleep due to not much movement. Maybe this is in anticipation of the second interim dividend likely to be announce end Feb as per last few years. I'll be careful as fund managers can also be starting to set traps for bilis to 'chase high'. I am surprise if much upward movement in price this year seeing likelyhood of BNM rising rates to be very slim in view of easing inflationary pressures and mirroring Fed Reserve. What do you all think?

@calvintaneng, Sorry but if plantation stocks so good, please go ahead and buy as much as you need. No need to go to every forum to sing this and that until blue bro. I am pretty sure many brothers here who can afford to buy shares have a bit of common sense and at lease makes informed decisions. We also know that plantation stocks are seasonal and prices go up as well as go down. Just continue to promote at your blog and if you are correct every time, people will follow you and buy based on your blog. Case in point, look at dragon328 here at YTLP, his views are admired for his knowledge and forumers here follow him willingly. If you are good, people will recognised and act accordingly. #justsaying.

PE at 20 times is very very high vs industry at 16 times. Its a good IPO to consider but the price is over valued. I am now having second thoughts.

I read somewhere why data centers are positively linked to RE industry and hence related stocks is because companies favor setting data centers in RE zones to reduce the likely hood of interrupted power supply and attractiveness of company with regards to its alignment to ESG related issues.

If case anyone is interested to read more about NETR and the government of the day's plan to push for RE:

Jerichomy sudahlah, please stop enough with OTB lah. I can see that you are clearly Malay from all your comments. Please stop la... dont embarrass the other Malay forumers.. whatever your beef or fight with OTB, we don't care at all. cukuplah, terima kasih.

wow... my last posts mentioned that MIB analysts foresee next resistance level at 3.85 and on last night after I posted it, I noticed that the price was 3.85 and today it fell. coincidence?

@Dragon328

Thanks for sharing. I guess I already missed many opportunities as was complecent and didn't monitor the stock to see the potential upside with all those collaboration until too late.

I personally feel that RE will be here to stay as NETR is being rolled out at least in the next t 3 to 5 years for Malaysia and the new IPO closing on 18 Jan Master Tec has peaked my interest once again to look closer into this industry.

Under the Yeoh family leadership I am confident that they will achieve new heights. I am also mindful of the new 'distribution' stage when a new dip will be formed on the way to the next summit climb. The next QR will be announced in May 24 and wondering if should look into add now or after the dip. Based on previous pattern by company, they may diluted the shares further by issuing bonus shares like previous years? what are the odds for this to happen? Also what I remember is that one of the directors sold off 2.2M shares in Dec 2023. So am a bit puzzle on this move. EPF also sold off 22M each in May 23.

Btw FYI based on last week MIB webinar, the analyst foresee next resistance level at 3.85

I also forsee that banking stocks will not gain much this year as well as BNM would be unlikely to raise rates.. The Feds will not raise anytime soon due to huge budget USD30+ trillion expected this year.. the US also may not get the congress approval to continue funding its overseas campaign in middle east as well as eastern Europe. So yeah I expect the rates to at least maintain into 2024. Which would be less favorable to Banking stocks as it has no push momentum unless something unforeseeable happens

@stkoay buying between huge funds normal as they want to deprieve retailers from hoarding also their mandate requires them to trade in only big cap stocks. Selling for gains normal for various reasons including dividend declaration and window dressing among others I guess.

@Dragon328 just wondering but do you still buy more ad it climbs before reaching its fair PE value or you stopped since last year? Am tempted to add more to increase my Dividends but mindful that buying now with my dollar cost average to skyrocket upwards. What are your thoughts on this?

looking at the volume over the past few days, the rise in price is supported by consistent high volume to support the price whereas if you noticed when short lived profit taking or distribution phase, there was weak volume which I presume to be a 'false/fake bear'. usually false/fake bear is the 'testing' phase by fund managers to see if market will sell. for more info, check out the technical charting in klse screener.

haha... as expected IB shake the coconut tree and the weak fruits will fall, fall, fall... hopefully all investors here are steadfast in their belief and hold tight on their investments. the other day peaked at 3.57 and so far peaked 3.61... sweet..

When i saw the price dropped by RM0.10 this morning I knew that the drop wont be long before it goes up again. Typical tactic of Fund Managers shaking the coconut trees for weak fruits to fall i.e. knee jerk profit taking by retail investors. I like profit taking to exists because it sets a new price point for resistance level. Sooo..... to quick profit minded investors, please continue to panic and sell your shares :-)

Wow go YTLP!.. 4 days in a row!..

RM2.57 > RM2.80 > RM3.00 > RM3.22

Nice closing for the week. Really really tempted to lock in the profits.

At P/E 9.74x still very cheap compared to TENAGA at 20.29x. Industry average at 15.8x. Fair P/E value 13.3x and fair price at RM4.93 according to SWS

... In a note to investors last November, Hong Leong Investment Bank observed that YTL Power's Singapore unit continued to deliver "astounding" contribution in 1QFY2024, "leveraging onto the new Tuaspring asset to expand its power generation and retail market share, and combined with sustaining retail tariff with secured low liquefied natural gas costs, have improve the segment’s overall margins".

"Management expects overall FY2024 earnings to be mainly underpinned by the sustaining contribution of PowerSeraya... we believe the current valuation remains undemanding, given the strong earnings of PowerSeraya while dividends may surprise on the upside," said the investment bank as it raised its target price to RM3.90 from RM2.90. ...

Thanks for the info OTB

Sweet... fortune favors the brave. hold on to your belief in fundamentals when investing and you will be rewarded. it's common sense really when deciding on what sectors to invest in
