Keck Seng has make much more money from the depreciating Ringgit and interests from fixed deposits so far this year than from its business operations.

No new projects being launched, so no breakthrough in revenue and earnings for sure. It would likely stay at below 35 sen a share for months to come. Sad!

Should still make at least 0.7 to 0.8 sen a share this financial year, so still able to pay 0.5 sen a share in dividend. Investors at least have some returns from their investments.

If RHB Bank's earnings improve each quarter until the final quarter, just like last year, its full year earnings could be quite impressive at over 75 sen a share.

PN had accused him of being an agent of the jews, can you lodge a police report naive boy?

Local funds have been buying over the past few days. Trading at a PE of less than 10 now and a dividend yield of over 5%.

Added a bit at RM5.45 and RM5,46 too. You can't find more than five counters listed on Bursa with RHB Bank's low PE and high dividend yield.

An impressive earnings per share of 17.93 sen in the first quarter is still unable to excite investors. People prefer to speculate rather than to invest for long term. Best luck.

RWG tak siuman liao, dia perlu makan ubat liao, mungkin dia takla duit jumpa doktor liao.

Improvement in financial results but no corresponding improvement in share price. Many on this forum who have been hoping for a quick share price recovery over the past few months must be bitterly disappointed.

Want to buy at RM5.50 and below better act fast.

"usa cannot pay debts, pbb drop to 20sen"
You should have written "usa cannot pay debts, US Dollar drop to 20sen.

"genting casino no people,"
You must be a frequent visitor of Genting casino. Better to buy Genting shares than to lose your money there.

Last year's dividend payout rate was 84.3%. If Maybank earns 75 sen a share this year and maintains its pay out rate, then dividend this year should be around 62 sen a share. Let's hope it can materialise.

"pbb depositor money all gone"
@RWG, gone to where? Siphoned off by its staff? Its directors? Please be more specific. This is a very irresponsible post.

Needs to increase its dividend payout ratio to attract more investors.

Already collected two to three years ago and no more bullets to collect more. Just collecting its golden eggs. Hopefully it can lay more this year.

"klci will drop to 200points"
When this happens, the only asset you have is RM2 in your pocket.

Post more nonsense so that your threads will show you have 8866 postings within two months. Come on, you can do it.

Posting rubbish every day. Not tired of it? Apple's market capitalization is almost 6 times the market capitalization of all companies listed on Bursa. There are 4 companies listed on NYSE that have a market capitalization exceeding $1 trillion each. Ringgit is dropping against the US$ almost everyday.

Earnings of most plantation companies in the first quarter have plunged by over 60%. Earnings of CannonTan's favorite plantation company TSH Resources have dropped by 70%. So the much talked about special dividend from TSH this year is just a pipe dream. Earnings of his next favorite plantation stock Boustead Plantation have dropped by over 95%. He will hide somewhere for sure.

Just like Maybank, I believe RHB Bank's first quarter earnings should also improve over its October to December quarter.

Maybank's earnings for financial year 2023 should rise to at least 75 sen a share. At RM8.57 , its prospective PE is just 11.41. Have faith in Maybank.

In 1982, SGD1 = RM1.15, in June/July1997, SGD1 = RM1.80, in 2009/10/11, SGD1 = RM2.30/2.40, in 2014, SGD1 = RM2.50/60.

Wow! Very confident of yourself. Let's wait and see if you are correct.

Compared to Public Bank, CIMB Bank, RHB Bank and KLCI, Maybank has performed well since the beginning of the year. Including dividend, Maybank has gained 20 sen or +2.3%, RHB Bank has gained 8 sen or +1.4%, Public Bank lost 32 sen or -7.5%, CIMB Bank lost 56 sen or -9.8% and KLCI lost 62.65 points or -4.24%.

I suppose we still have to pay brokerage and other charges when we trade in odd lots. Won't be selling my odd lots. Just keep them to get dividends.

Ringgit falls, stock market falls. This is double whammy.

Fast to bounce back. Has already recovered 45% of yesterday's loss. First quarter earnings should be reasonably good.

I know the three big Singapore banks are trading at PEs of around 10 and dividend yields of about 5 but I don't have the resources to increase my investments. Maybank's PE is higher than the three Singapore banks but its dividend yield is also higher at 6.7% and RHB Bank is trading at a PE of 8.6 and a dividend yield of over 7.2%.

Malaysia Ringgit has now dropped to RM3.383 to $1, lowest on record. So sad.

Has gone up from RM8.84 to RM9.82 or 11% in just 14 trading days. Coupled with today's poor market sentiment, most investors would just take profit first and see what happens next.

Keep if you have the holding power. Bank counters now make up over 50% of my total investments in the stock market and 100% consist of RHB Bank and Maybank shares. Haven't sold any the last few months. Don't blame me if CIMB drops further. hahaha

Could Maybank's sharp fall today be due to this?

Among Bank counters, Maybank is the worst performer today, falling by over 2%. CIMB and AmBank are still slightly up today. What is happening to the darling of investors?

When it rises, it rises slowly. When it falls, it falls heavily. Three days gains wiped out in just two hours.

Trending lower and lower. Still, would only consider whether to buy this counter or not after August this year.

I would prefer not to have DRP. Just look at Maybank, its eps has remained stagnant for over 10 years due to DRP issues.

Maybank's total earnings this year is forecast to reach RM9.734 billion or 78 sen a share. Applying a PE of 13, it should be worth RM10.14 a share.

Hopefully RHB Bank' share price would move out of this narrow trading band once its first quarter financial results are released later this month. Its earnings should be comparable to the final quarter of last year rather than the first quarter.

MR mana ada CB?

I haven't been monitoring Hap Seng for several years now and thought it was still trading at above RM8 a share until a few days ago. Surprised to find out that it has already dropped to below RM4.50 a share. Would monitor its price movement for a few months before making a decision whether to invest in this counter.

Judging from Genting's performance in the past two+ weeks, one can conclude that it has not done well in the first quarter.

RHB Bank's share price has been stuck within a narrow band of RM5.45 to RM5.55 for the past one month. It is getting very boring. Big investors have been accumulating the counter.

The big boys only need a couple of hundred million to push TG to RM1.50 and certainly well less than one billion to push it to RM2. They have the resources. I just sit back and watch.

It is a well diversified company. Average eps for the past 10 years was 39 sen and average dividend per share was around 30 sen. It won't collapse.

RHB Bank pays dividends twice a year. Final dividend is generally paid in mid June but this year investors got their final dividend one month earlier. Interim dividend is generally paid in early November.

A friend recommended Hap Seng to me about 9 to 10 years ago. I remember it was trading at around rm2 then but I took no action. Soon it began to move up and up and up almost non stop for several years until it reached about RM8, then I stopped watching this counter. Toooo frustrated.

"Why don’t you said RM 3.30 is about the right price? Funny la… haha…"
Cannot say RM3.30 is the right price, otherwise someone who has been collecting Hap Seng at above RM4.50 might commit hara kiri. hahaha

I have held on to my MRCB shares for more than 3 years.
