no need for bonus issue, just reporting super results with generous dividend will drive price further up. Bonus issues dilute the EPS and the increase in shares makes future dividend payments more expensive for the company. With EPS diluted, the market must first attach higher PE to the share to justify a higher share price; high PEs signals the shares may be overvalued..

don't worry about the steel stocks, those are businesses protected by tariff barriers, once the govt protection is lifted the share prices will drop. PMetal is operating in the alum industry producing high quality items, its value will rise slow and steady.

Like always, it will again give 2.5 sen dividend but if results are not encouraging, analysts will come with their negative comments and then the price will correct. Like I mentioned earlier, it is already overbought and there are really no immediate catalysts to support the price run-up. Do tread cautiously, it is not a cheap share.

this counter must hold because can migrate to main board later; this one is like planting musang king durian tree, must be ready to tahan long term before got durian to collect

gt surely hv insider news or else he got knocked on his head because he had always said Gent will drop like a rock to below rm8. or now he make wayang or jenaka only.

the fact is their retail network in Malaysia is already very matured and the only way forward is overseas expansion by investing in physical stores or by driving their online business. Their exports have been falling in recent years as a result of their winding down their franchises overseas. And their venturing into Cambodia? I think that is a joke. their prices in Malaysia may be very affordable but to be price competitive over there, they need to be even cheaper than in Malaysia, and how will that eat into their margins? Time will tell. And their online business is around 2 years old now and still has no results to show for it. I await their q4 results to see if they provide info about their online biz.

how does richboy know coming qr very good? you or your relative work in padini? their Jun qr traditionally tends to be weak. anyway the stock is now overbought and PE has become too high. Not trying to pour cold water but do be careful not to be too excited

traderman wants to see some cash so take profits; price today already touched 2.20 and when it trends higher, traderman will surely curse himself.

too early to take profit; kenanga TP at 4.05

genting HK nothing to do with Gent

what is upshare talking about? War coming? Got crystal ball ah? Or you are adviser to trump and kim and they act on your advice and you have told them next week start fighting?

Fortune favours the brave, or the foolish. I just bought 500lots at rm0.455; see next week laugh or have to cut loss. Cheers and enjoy the weekend. There is no chance of war, only hot air. But nearly all the retail players panic now and running around like headless chickens.

why panic? this is a good chance to buy and profit. trump and kim create chance for us to make profit. just buy, and if cannot contra gain, hold for a week or two, then you will see good days again. I totally agree with SHQuah. Moreover, qr results announcement soon with dividends likely, so why be scared? Fortune favours the brave. Who dares, wins.

just to guam? if trump is serious, he should move in to the sea of japan.

totally agree

still holding for qr results. War is not an option and both Trump and Kim know it, just a whole lot of brinkmanship. Don't you think that Kim wants to go on living the good life? A war with the US regardless of the outcomes will bring an end to N Korea and Kim. You think the generals in N Korea, who are btw living good lives too, will allow Kim to just fire a missile and provoke a nuclear war they cannot win? Come on, be serious. Today's geopolitics are totally influenced by economics and business and profits. To those who have PM shares, sell if you must but not because of fear.

sell, sell, sell and don't post anymore if you don't hv any confidence in the fundamentals of the stock; why post so much if you think the stock will fall, better spend your time selling it b4 you lose everything. Sell now b4 nuclear missiles start flying between the US and N Korea. Sell now and get your money and splurge all of it on enjoying yourself, the end of the world is coming soon. Sell, sell, sell.

i3, if you are worried, sell. You should probably worry about a large asteroid hitting planet earth and killing us all that about pas winning Pahang

nicky, when the qr results get announced, there should be another spike but if you hv doubts, sell now, after all PM's price has risen by more than 35sen over these 2 days.

Thanks to GTfun for all the informative updates on Gent's prospects.

Hunger, pls excuse Slimy, he did not follow closely the PM's journey and how alum prices going up. I bought at 2.50 early this year and still hoping for more durian to runtuh. Must see the qr announcement first before doing any selling.

there is no way PAS can win Pahang but they can dream. No matter the election results, business is still business and governments need profitable companies for taxes, so you don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

why should price be around PE15, vinvestor? A lot of things also should be but in reality they are not. I think you should go and exercise more, but do you? Smokers also should stop smoking and alcoholics should give up on alcohol; should do this or should be that, but those things seldom happen, do they? So stop with the should or should not, and provide, if you have, some useful info instead. Btw, how much do you know about Mikromb anyway or what the PE should be like?

GTfun, time has got very little to do with this, I guess it is like some parties want to keep the price low for easier trading and punting.

who is paying 2.88, iristan? and by standard rate you mean 5sen?

as far a Gent's share price is concerned, I think dark forces may be at play. All research houses place their TP at > rm11, but the actual market price cannot even stay above rm10; if that is not a sign of dark forces, then the research houses must be looking at the wrong stock or something like that. WTF!

1mdb default, rm fall further against usd, better for export company, tu neko betul betul cakap sampah

vinvestor, saya dah tua, tapi 45sen you dapat beli tak? kalau tidak, sorry lah, missed opportunity

i put in order to buy at 2.80 but noone biting, lol.

thank you GTfun for the informative write-up.

uncle neko and auntie sarah are just here for fun; because they are so lonely, they always make nonsense comments to attract attention and response, lol. just take them in good humour, kasihan lah.

next qr result should provide further fuel to the rise, hold and be patient

dropped about 7 sen since the bonus issue was listed; wtf

why mikro today big slide? any news?

nekosan, the rights issue is by VS international group, the one listed in HK; our Malaysian VS Industry Bhd is merely taking up its share of the said rights. Please get your info right and don't simply post.

goldis wants to buy igb for cheap and given the market rules, they will most likely succeed too; talk about the rich getting richer and the not so rich getting screwed.

not panic lah hunger, just frustrated. all the fundamentals are intact - alum prices strong, USD stable, logistics improved since the commissioning of samalaju port, production lines going full blast, and yet the price is flat; the major shareholders are taking large positions with the stock though.

wtf is happening to this counter? something bad we don't know about?

Latest TPs issued by Public Bank and Maybank > rm11 but the market is not responding in like manner, so you really cannot say much about the prospects for the share price of Genting in the immediate term. Perhaps any spikes will have to wait till the announcements of the quarterly results next month by gens, genm and genting itself. You can either hold and wait or just sell and put your money elsewhere but whatever you do, ignore the fear-mongering comments by gt.

if trading volume rises with price movements, then definitely something brewing. Oct 5th meeting is still on schedule and the S'gor govt buying of Splash cannot be delayed any longer, it is the last water concession still not owned by the S'gor govt. Moreover Tabung Haji has become the subst shareholder after the deferment of the takeover in April this year, and it is time for Tabung Haji to reap returns from the investment in Taliwrk.

45sen? tunggu sampai tua lah

xd, musangfoxking, super advice.

a 6 sen dividend seems to be a fair assumption, btw.

so far in 2017, genting has paid 12.5 sen dividend but please do not assume that it will continue in the future. Genting has been in the recent years very stingy with dividends so it is better you guys go and check their past dividend history b4 making any assumptions about the amount of dividends you can earn by holding the shares in genting.

nekosan, today is ex-bonus, so even if you sell your shares today you will still get your bonus shares which will be credited to your account on the 20th July. The sharks cannot do anything about this. If the share price go up, it will be good for all. Like I mentioned earlier if the price today can hit 60 sen, it will be equal to 84 sen before the ex date.

Bigbull, don't worry, you just wait. For Jul n Aug, the price may stay in the rm2 region but when it reports its qrtly results in Sep, then you will see action. This co. is solid. Just read the analysts write-ups.

steady lah guys, VS will not disappoint, i bought at 1.44 since Jan this year, took dividends twice already and one more this 28/7, and i am still holding. The dividends in Mar and May was 1.2 sen each but this coming one is 1.5sen, an increase of 25% in the payout. This type of stock, very choon, so hold on tight and don't sell because of some short term fluctuations. And practically all the analysts also have buy calls with TP > rm2.50. Chill.

on the ex-date, the price of the stock will fall to account for the bonus shares; if closing on the 17/7/17 is 78sen, then the new price should be around 55sen or thereabout, so don't panic. if it trades at 60sen or higher, then it will mean durian runtuh for those who got the bonus shares.

I read somewhere that the meeting has been scheduled for 5th Oct 2017

gt forecast total rubbish
