if the current eps trend persists for 2H FY18 for the company, then its total eps for FY18 should be around 25sen. Its current price of rm5 suggests a PER of 20 which is actually quite high given that this is still very much a company whose primary market is domestic and that the distribution network it has is already very very extensive and hence further upside potential is quite limited. The co's exports form less than 10% of its revenues and given the very real risks of increasing costs and hence declining margins, future profitability growth would remain very challenging. the question here is how much more can its number of stores in Malaysia grow? There is a very real and certain risk of diminishing returns and given the lack of any real growth catalysts (even its online revenues remain weak), a 15x PE going forward would be more realistic. While its brick and mortar competitors do not pose any serious threats to its market position, the growth of online retailers, both in terms of number and size, offering very diverse brands and merchandise may further weaken Padini's hold on the market.

don't panic, just buy and hold. Sure will get big return. don't worry about short term movements.

guys, if you already own the stock, just hold coz of the great potential the stock has; if you need to take some money off the table, sell on strength and then buy back on weakness. Don't concern yourself with the price fluctuations unless you want to do short term trades.

I already said it many times, just sell and get out from this longkang counter. you invest in this stock, sure muntah darah. betul betul pariah stock. good fundamentals and performance also shitty price. sell sell sell and stop commenting, ignore the counter and no more buayas will play here.

longkang counter this one; cannot even smell its TP, betul betul sampah stock. tomorrow sure down further.

another longkang counter with its price pushed up and driven down by dirty tactics from greedy and immoral people; the price movements langsung not based on fundamentals but on greed and avarice. Sell and put your money in alibaba better.

this counter cannot percayalah; longkang counter sumbat dengan sampah; jual jual jual and ambil untung bila boleh, kalau tidak, sure regret.

forget about this longkang counter and sell all you have, then the buaya would not have anymore chance to make money by their dirty tactics.

don't comment about this longkang counter anymore, ignore it and then only the price will shoot up.

this counter already become longkang sumbat dengan sampah. put your money elsewhere better.

if everyone holding dnex here start saying they are giving up and selling everything because of the lousy share price movement, and then don't comment in the forum for 5 market days, then dnex price will fly up. XD

bought last jan at 1.44, one year later at 3.20; tempted to sell and take profit a few times but finally still holdiing; maybe sell when it hits 3.50; btw 1 sen dividend payable 30 jan.

for those who hv been holding since the 40+ sen days, why sell now? unless you play contra, dnex should be trending higher now that petrol prices are steady above the USD 60 level and prospects of more development in its IT business look bright

the price has been very well supported at around rm3, and there is really no way for it to go back to 2.60 to 2.80.

those who give up on VS sure will regret later

this longkang counter clogged with too much sampah, that is why the price stinks.

TauRx investment already become sampah, Edwardong. Forget about this counter, longkang stock this one. TP is more than rm11 based upon analysts recommendations but in reality, the traders in the market think otherwise and the share price cannot break rm10 also. maybe the market players can smell the sampah clogging this longkang stock.

this counter tak boleh harap, up one day, down the next. betul betul longkang counter.

guys, sell if you have hit your profit targets or of you are scared that the VS price would drop some more. Otherwise just hold tight and earn your dividends and wait for more capital appreciation. Fortune favours the brave.

like I said long ago, this is a pariah counter; the price totally not reflecting the fundamental value of the company's businesses. Go put your money elsewhere. What's the use if the price drops below 7? you jump into the water, the sharks will eat you alive and all your money is lost.

next month's qr results and dividend announcements should very likely serve as catalysts for further uptrend. Sell now and regret. Fortune favours the brave.

those who worry about VS, sell. Those who are confident, hold. Those who want to trade, do so at your own risk and stop complaining when you lose.

is this a company that is loss-making and without any potential? if not, why worry about short term weakness?

wtf, why are some people so obsessed with bonus issues? the share price after any bonus issue will be adjusted downward accordingly so while a shareholder ends up with more shares, it does not mean the value of the shares owned will be considerably greater, it all depends on the post-bonus issue price. Moreover after a bonus issue, earnings become diluted and the EPS decreases. I rather the company I invested in continue with strong performances and solid development plans to grow revenues and profits and pay reasonable dividends consistently.

the fact is the sale has to be made and it is a question of when. If in the meantime, the co still pays the regular dividend, then might as well hold.

i will keep for dividends

VS price in Jan 2017 when I bought in was at 1.44, now is at around 3, definitely up by more than 100% already GiantPanda. And I am still holding it. There is still more upside to come considering all the plans that VS has already put into motion.

why are you guys arguing about the bonus issue? bonus issues just means you get more shares but the price of the share will be reduced to reflect the increased shares in issue. no big deal here. As investors the focus should be on sustainable growth and profitability, I rather the EPS increases steadily and therefore driving up the share price than receiving bonus shares.

meeting scheduled for tomorrow; since there is no new reports of the thing being deferred and no announcements by taliworks too, I think the meeting should be on and there may be new developments announced tomorrow. Patience, dude.

boon1515, sure or not?

about the proposed dividend, please find it in the announcement by VS

why worry about good news or not? just hold for as long as you can; you sell now, sure regret later. some more got 1 sen dividend later this month.

substantial shareholder Tabung Haji no selling since middle of Aug. They are holding on tight for the meeting scheduled next Friday for the settlement of the Splash sale to the Selangor govt. The issue should be resolved soon. Only one more week to go, get a clearer picture b4 selling.

correct Seng TN, wait until below 4 or 3 or 2 even; better still wait below 1. limkokthye can see the future and it will be below 5 next month, he is god's son.

many were worried about the qr results being less than satisfactory; now that the qr is good, the price has recovered the losses of the past 2 days. Tomorrow should see further upside since the new TP by Maybank IB is now at 3.18

VS risen so much already, drop 5 sen is nothing. My entry price is 1.44, lol

Chang206 is right. ESOS shares are issued based upon strict Bursa guidelines and not by the MD when he feels like doing so. So to those who do not know the mechanics that govern ESOS, pls don't go running around screaming like headless chickens. Many listed cos have ESOS to reward employees and do understand only employees and directors (not shareholders o anyone else) are eligible to shares issued under ESOS. Just because the price drop and you lose money playing contra, you start blaming all and sundry. Do your research and make comments based on facts.

why all the argument? those that are confident, hold; those who are scared, sell. I bought the mother at 50.5 sen also not in the slightest worried because I am confident of this counter's potential. While waiting for the price to trend upwards, take the dividend first. Fortune favours the brave ( and of course those who have done their homework b4 investing ).

VS price is holding steady, good sign of investors' confidence in the stock and coming qr results.

down down down

ignore those mental retards who simply talk nonsense because they cannot afford to buy VS now and so they just say the grapes are sour.

anyone has any idea as to when the qr results will be announced?

i hv already stated many times, this Gent stock tak boleh harap one. Even tho' got super potential, the behaviour also damned koyak one. Drop 20 sen for nothing one day and then next day stuck.

i am not talking about hisehatu, am I? I was referring specifically to your comment or are you really so dumb you cannot see that, hence really confirming your brainless status?

dividend waiting for agm to fix ex date

i am not predicting the price to go back to 60 sen, I am talking about you predicting earlier that it will break 45 sen this afternoon. You got any facts to back that up? you tell me. If not, just stop with all the hot air or risk being seen as a brainless retard

nekosong, I am waiting for the price to break 0.45 this afternoon, just to see if you are so great at predicting the trend, or just shooting blanks and spouting gibberish like a tong sampah

don't worry, the mother will recover easily especially when the qr results are announced and a dividend is declared. Have confidence and don't get spooked by the negative nonsense spouted by brainless retards.

Finally this counter is stirring and preparing to move as Oct 5th approaches. Better get on the train quickly b4 it leaves the station.

SuperPanda and Money168, don't pay attention to idiots whose mouths are where their arses are because when these idiots talk, sh*t comes out instead of words.
