Print media is a sunset industry.
Strongest as The Star also bit the bullets.
They are using USD to buy raw papers and losing the younger genaration readers.

One big advantage can turnaround their bottom lines overnite»increase the newspapers cover prices by $0.20.
Same strategy as Astro pratising because the readers price elasticity is very low.

星洲集团现在是尾大不掉,手上的报纸只有马来西亚的星洲及中国报赚钱,其他不是好看,更不用现在推出的电子媒体。
南洋及光明一直亏大本,碍手脚不过不能关闭,大马华社反感。
报纸要起价,又有一个东方报碍手脚。
香港明报也是好看不中用,竞争激烈,加上亲中共立场,令港人反感,不能赚大钱,每况愈下。

If you have to buy..
Based on NTA $0.45 time 30% discount is around $0.315.
This is the safety point.

Not good le. In my opinion, better dun invest in sunset business. Another share also similiar to this is umsngb. Also sunset business. Also keep saving cost but revenue keep on decrease year by year. Although the profit increase and PE ratio low not recommended to invest in this kind of shares. Once the industry totally went off, it is hard to recover your money. Just my opinion

i like it when everyone is so pessimistic, make it sounds like a road-kill. A DCF with 0% growth and 10% discount rate will get you $0.60 using EPS of 0.06, which is consider really low compare to the past 4-5 years EPS. ROE accelerating. Throwing oof FCF 130-180 million each year.

Several people have commented on this article. Most are pessimistic, JT Yeo is the first one with a contrarian view.

I am kind of in the middle - concur with the view that the industry is under threat by new players, but refused to give up until I see more concrete signs that this is indeed an irreversible structural decline instead of due to cyclicality

as for optimus, as usual, his comments are hollow and no substance. Difficult to take them seriously.

I think if you extrapolate then perhaps it is correct it is sunset business, young generation doesn't subscribe to newspapers anymore or less likely, whether they will do it when they gets old who knows.

The investment can be a successful ones if:

1. These 'sunset' expectation has totally been priced in or overpriced in, which present a relatively low downside risk, but potential high probability upside surprise.

2. The 'sun' actually 'set' slower than many thought, allowing mediac to continue to throw off cash and transition their business away from news print, which they are already doing.
