I make sure & I tell my kids as well that every time we need fuel go to Petron. (When I held Digi shares, I switched my entire family from Maxis to Digi).
I think the unexplored potential of Petron stations is the basic groceries. May be the management feels that it's too much of an effort for some loose change but Petdag considers it as a significant source of income. Besides the straight forward income, the grocery and petrol pump complement each other.

A Loss : 0
B 0 - 50m - 2 (Sheldon, john 0909)
C 51 - 100m : 2.5 (hock007, damiantreez, Chiovo Capital)
D - > 100m 0.5 (Chiovo Capital)
Looks like John 0909 & I are spot on

Rwkl - I see your point on KLK especially on PE basis but not so much on net asset/share basis relative to other plantation cos.
Despite that B. Kawan with its industrial chemical business & Oleochemical via KLK is quite attractive at today's prices.

I fear that this Co has all the ingredients to be taken private namely:
1) 10% of shares taken off the market making it cheaper
2) hardly any trading liquidity
3) under appreciated by the investors (i.e. cheap) - resulting that the major shareholder could acquire the Co for a song
We, the non-controlling interest would then have to give up this prized possession with little compensation

Agreed untong - it should pay much more dividends in proportion with its earnings. Earnings are all huffing & puffing, which can be manufactured by any decent accountant.
Being able to convert it to cash dividends is the real deal!

The way I look at it - so long as the co generates a profit and Petron reinvests a portion, it's value should increase.

Yes untong PetronM is definitely a very much unsung hero and underappreciated by investors compared to Petdag.
Philip Greta - noted your views - a fresh perspective TQ.

I don't like pension plans either. Even worse are companies with ESOS plans. I avoid such companies.
My biggest reservation of Petron is its group structure - what goes into the listed entity and the unlisted entity is not transparent.

The score to date :
A Loss : 0
B 0 - 50m - 2 (Sheldon, john 0909)
C 51 - 100m : 2.5 (hock007, damiantreez, Chiovo Capital)
D - > 100m 0.5 (Chiovo Capital)
I hope we won't be rudely shocked with a loss like a few quarters ago.

Noted john0909 - i believe that's what your model is saying.
Chiovo Capital & damiantreez - The alternatives given are very broad range of earnings. You should stick your neck out and choose one or else it's as good as guessing between negative to positive infinity.

Haha Choivo Capital - a sarcastic remark on flying cars.
I agree to the carbon emission. My take on electric cars is that there are too people here who cannot afford a new car. So they will still be moving around in their old IC vehicles.
So looks like for Choivo, it's do or die. Either you're going to become extremely rich or PN17 case.

john0909 @sheldon, .... Not just merely a guesstimate, supported with some data, hence come out with the prediction of 20-23cents eps... i will try few more quarters and see if such direction is correct/reliable or not...
Interesting - let's play the game

john0909 @sheldon, my prediction is correct, what's the prize for me?
john0909 - you're spot-on!! Was is a guesstimate? What crystal ball do you use?
Well done! I'm glad for the results as its beyond my expectation, considering that Brent fell steeply during the quarter which would adversely affect the crack spreads.
The prize is that you get the exclusive right to take me out to dinner at your expense.

An odd counter - when market drops a lot, this counter can somewhat hold and when market leaps up, the counter doesn't move much.

john0909 @sheldon, likely A... EPS should be around between 20-23cents...
So it's A for you - I hope so.

David_share - refining margin is currently affected by oversupply of giant refineries in Korea and Petronas muscling in. Crack spread is affected by sharp drops in inventory values caused by sharp drops in Brent crude and other similar benchmarks.

Given the rather steep drop in brent from mid-May to early Jun but uptrends from early April to mid-May & early Jun to end . Also the narrowing refining margins due to oversupply of refinery services .....
Do you think that Petron - can register a profit for the 2nd quarter? Let's get some opinions.

Choivo - oh I see - apologies. If you ever get a hold of the PFI accounts, I hope you can share with us the dividends declared in 2019 and 2018.
I asked several questions but did not get to ask this. Thanks.

Choivo you wrote - Maybe i should buy PFI accounts to use as a benchmark.
You can't because it's 100% owned by Petron Philippines

Petron is one Co that generally makes impressive earnings but share price is not reflective of it. The fact that the Co pays a far less dividends compared to earnings simply means that this co is retaining a lot of profits which should cause the share price to rise. Instead it's just limp.
Many companies make a fraction of the earnings but the share price seem to leap here & there. Strange, very strange indeed!!

Interim dividend announcement around the corner

I dread to make any predictions after my last quarter 2018 disastrous way off on a tangent prediction. However from my superficial observation of the prices which inclined Jan to Mar 2019, it should be good. Unless of course the management said that they had hedged.
Share price is somewhat under-valued but buybacks may not be possible as it may breach the minimum public spread.

The dividend for the financial year has already been revealed at 20 sen per share.
If the share price is not performing then shareholders look forward to dividends but this co is under performing insofar as dividends are concerned.
Compared to other foreign-controlled company Petron is an odd company. Companies from Amway to Carlesberg to F&N & BAT all declare big dividends. At 135m shares, 20 sen only amount to RM27m which is a very tiny amount compared to RM1.53b in reserves.

Agree with DickyMe - Try appointing a non-bumi as CEO, all hell will break loose. If academic results are any indication of ability, a lot of non-bumi have scored well but how many lead GLCs? Practically none. Good academic results implies that the person is intelligent, hard-working and disciplined - all the qualities required for management.
Hence for GLC stock, I would only buy if price hit rock-bottom & cabut the moment I make some gains because it will not have much upside like Nestle, Dutchlady, Public bank.

CPO prices have since increased by a big jump, which should augur well for cash levels and dividends.
