Obviously BNM dragging its feet because the offered price is too low. I'm sure many of you have noticed by now, Affin's head honchos are buying their own company's share. It's not uncommon I know but acquiring now? What does this indicate? Interesting nobody is talking about it.

Another Taiwanese-controlled company listed in KLSE with generous div payout you guys can consider is CSCSTEL (5094). Probably many of you are aware already anyway, but for the newbies, you can put some of your eggs into this steel basket.

Once the dust has settled, price will appreciate. Similar to REXIT share sale and appointment of new board members

Not conspiring to mislead, the Sarawak factor has overshadowed the financial results.

I'd be surprised if they propose any dividend at all much less a special one. Of course I'd be happy if they do as their policy dictates. We shall see in due time.

One question guys...something I can't seem to find an explanation. Why is EPF actively disposing?

rohank71, appreciate you pointing out this factor that many failed to consider. I'm pretty sure there are non-performing, money-losing assets/investments in Affin's book. Still after discounting these, fair value per share as you calculated is 3.20- Yes the night is still young.

If everything is done according to procedure and above board there's no reason for BNM to disapprove.

beluga, from your experience what's the perceived acceptable premium assuming Affin is trading 0.6x PB, for successful takeover?

I'd refrain from setting any nonsensical TP. In for the long-term div. If you're looking for a quick gain, look elsewhere.

I'd like to chip in if I may. Consolidation is healthy for this counter. It's not a penny stock susceptible to such speculation. I'm holding for the long term regardless of the outcome.

I tend to see the same outcome as beluga on his prediction that Sarawak will not be content with just a 20% stake. I've always believed small banks like Affin are targets of M&A. More to come.

It's not a hype. It's a target, a foresight. Short-term traders will be small-term traders. Making small, quick gains here and there. What actually perplexed me was Boustead Holdings Bhd acquired 200k on 22 Nov. What are they up to?

If they keep up the good performance qtr to qtr basis, expect to be incentivized for holding or adding to your portfolio because price is still attractive to enter.

One more thing I missed saying. Small banks are targets of merger & acquisition.

Market grumbles at the poor results relative to preceding year. Ask yourself how often does one company sell its assets and make a bumper profit. Not everyday or year actually. Now earnings have normalised. That's it. This unhappiness will cause share price to fall into oversold position, probably already have. The wise investors will take this opportunity to snag a few lots.

Fair analysis of the QR. At least the management has the foresight to invest their retained earnings to generate profit when the traditional core business is not doing well. Alternate revenue stream. Every business has it's ups and downs, so I wouldn't jump the gun and condemn the company.

I don't understand the hoo-haa at this point. SC may not approve the mandatory takeover exemption request and the deal may just fall through. I personally would want the deal to succeed. If IJM would look beyond the current liabilities of Pestech and have the gumption to just takeover the company, then it's largely a matter of the purchase price for the shareholders to consider.

It's all mere 'paper' gain if you don't lock in profit. All I read thus far is speculative. Privatization la, sell land la, LTAT takeover la and whatnot. Until corporate come out with an announcement, I don't want to miss this opportunity. Oil palm and plantation in general is seasonal and therefore its stock price. There's always another chance to re-enter at a more attractive price in the future.

What to do? Buy back in the 80s and hope that it appreciates to RM1 or more.

Healthy debate. Keep it up guys. Honestly, Bplant is now is safer hands with all the political appointees out of the board. When one day the owners decides to quit planting oil palms, they can unlock the value of its land bank. Enough to feed generations.

Privatisation of Bplant?
Who's going to do that now? LTAT? They already have their hands full with Boustead Holdings. Maybe one day that may happen but I doubt it's now.
If the parent is taken private, is it mandatory to do so for all it's wholly own subsidiary?
There are other options to unlock value in the company such as sale of assets (particularly those non-strategic ones), etc.

Brian, I agree en bloc sale of land is near implausible. Insiders definitely knows something we don't. We can only play the guessing game at this juncture. My suspicion is LTAT is increasing its stake from the open market.

Consider this: Armada, in spite of the profits, has not paid a single cent of dividend since 2016. So buy at ridiculously low price, otherwise forget it. Not chasing it upwards either. If it's your fortune, it's yours.

If only it's as simple as pressing the reset button they would have done it by now. I fear the worst, a major mechanical failure requiring total replacement of the transformers. Armada taking the opportunity of this downtime to conduct maintenance ahead of schedule is a smart thing to do.
