TQ 3iii.
Wouldn't it be reasonable (& nice) if the board pledges a dividend pay out rate of 50% EPS?

Steep drop in crack spread but still on positive territory.

I thought when price of oil goes up the crack spread also goes up. Looks like no such correlation exists.

Yes yes total dividends = 35 sen per share. They've done it in the past i.e. dividends declared on 2 separate dates but going ex and payment on the same date.

I'm deep out of the money sitting on large capital loss but slowly and surely recovering from the generous dividends.

I love this management!

Again following the acquisition of CCM at excessively high price, KLK like sugar daddy is acquiring Boustead Plantation, a good-for-nothing at a ridiculously high price of 1.55 per share.

Note that the highest price this BP had reached over the past 5 years was about 1.15 until today perhaps because somebody got wind of the acquisition, it climbed up to 1.37.

Since EV is looming, Petron is in danger of becoming extinct and share price extremely low relative to earnings, large dividend payouts would be the best balm for shareholders.

With half-year earnings at 56 per share coupled with previous years cumulative earnings net of dividends, it should be no problem to declare 50 sen dividends. Unfortunately it's dividends are constipated.

TQ Sslee for your astute analysis.
15.6 sen EPS is decent enough. I've come across a host of other companies with pathetic earnings but lofty share price. This big elephant in the room is being ignored

I briefly heard about Petron intending to takeover all of BHP stations for RM2b.

States that do not allow outlets should not get their share of Federal money since they were responsible for reducing gaming revenue or else it amounts to taking gaming taxes from other states. It's haram. The ever wise omnipresent Man up there knows it and they know that he knows it.

Good results but price not moving up. Investors with USD can pick up shares for a song given the very low exchange rate but still choose not to.

The only way to spice it up a bit is to surprise us with an increase in dividends. Come on board! It's not going to cause a liquidity crisis at the company. In fact it'll win the hearts of the share holders and teach a "padan muka" lesson to those who stayed on the sidelines.

Despite Kebling98's conviction that profits will > 100m for the quarter, I've my doubts.
If that is so then why is the PE only a shade above 4 & NTA almost double?

Reading the recent comments, there are great expectations. I hope will not be met by great disappointment. Oddly though, it does not reflect in the share price which is trading in one of the lowest PE in the market.

The govt should nurture this goose that lays golden eggs instead of listening to certain religious quarters who claim that it's evil yet willing to turn a blind eye to egregious corruption.

If it's evil, the solution is simple - don't play the game & don't enjoy the revenue generated.

Anything in excess is bad. Eating in excess is bad because it leads to diabetes, heart problems, weight problems etc but are we going to ban food?

Excess spending on consumer goods like cars and clothes will lead to bankruptcy and family violence and breakdown but are we going to ban vendors from selling and people from buying?

Also you should understand economics. Having a lot of money in your bank account will not help the economy grow. You've to spend it - get it circulating & that transforms into GDP. I hope you're not planning on a career in our Ministry of Finance because your views are shallow and will indeed destroy this country.

BTW you keep picking on Australia. It's a well-run country without your advice. In fact a lot of Malaysians (Malays, Chinese & others) want to get into Australia. Nobody's fighting to get into Afghanistan & Yemen where gambling's absent - are you?

i3lurker - I'm somewhat like you. I have a conscience. That's why I don't touch Genting. It could wipe out fortunes in a matter of minutes.

However Sports Toto is a different kettle of fish. It's gives the lower rung of society an excitement of sorts for a small sum. A chance for them to strike it big for as little as a ringgit. What can anyone get for 1 ringgit these days? Nobody's forcing. The Co afterall pays a massive yearly amount (close to 800m) to the Fed Govt in the form of gaming taxes. The name of Sports Toto predecessor "Social Welfare" aptly sums up its role.

So go ahead and invest without guilt. There's a fine line between investment and betting. I've lost a lot (and made a lot) betting on stocks (or is it investing?)

The rise of Amway I believe is consonant with the fall of USD against MYR. The MYR has been bashed down by politicians and I'm of the opinion that they have managed very well to continue paying dividends quarterly - kudos to the management!


I too raised a valid question at the AGM regarding its hedging policies. They were reticent in their response.

I wondered why? But I've since figured it out & fully understand why. They probably can't explain without looking bad. Believe me - it's in the interest of shareholders.

One can manufacture profits with creative accounting and dubious accounting standards. I've invested in some companies that have massive reserves accumulated over years of profitability. Shareholders however suffer with share price stunted and microscopic dividends.
Dividends is proof of real and not just paper profits.
Generous dividends is proof of real and large profits!
Kudos to the management of Allianz!!
