The digitaligatiin at 500 school is part of the CSR program. Charity event and advestising for the company. For free! Thats why no figures for contributions. All these will contribute to cost escalations not no revenue. This is what it called STARTUP cost.
Signn...no offence my friend. I m not trying to talk gp down. They have been doing it for free for publicity. Publicity is good but revenue has to xome in. They hope the freebies will contribute to their kiplepay at school cos thermal scanner will connect to cashless app for canteen and all transactions in school
China Press confirm that give away free thermal system to 500 school ! Good to have charity but do not abuse public fund for charity purpose..How company can make profit in charity show and so just goreng share price to gain tremendous profit
They hope the freebies will contribute to their kiplepay at school cos thermal scanner will connect to cashless app for canteen and all transactions in school
Hmm looks like i was only partially right about my earlier prediction. Only managed to reach a high of 0.675 before falling back. I thought momentum was enough to touch 0.68.
What i did not expect is that the operator would not intervene and further drive the share price to dip below 0.60...
If you take a look at the 1 minute chart you can see from 10.30-10.33 a huge volume was dumped in those 4 minutes bringing price down from 0.63 -0.60 (I still do not think there is enough volume in retail traders hand to drive such an action). My opinion is that most of these are the shares purchased the day before from 0.50-0.59
I also suspect that trades executed at 10.36, 10.39 and 10.58 were by the same operators as they are anomalous in nature.
The average up-tick and down-tick for GP is half-a-sen but these three involved an entire 1 sen downwards movement. Volume traded at these time periods also supports the hypothesis.
The reason why i find this of interest is because the trade at 10.58 was to sell down to 58 and i believe this is the new support line... at least in the mind of operators..
If operators do not make a move.. the price will likely trade in the 0.58 - 0.605 range in the short term (3days-5days).
@Agjl.. actually your fears may be a little misplaced in this context. While i do understand that free installation of the products could harm the immediate bottom line. I do not believe it is applicable for the digital wallet sector.
First up, Schools and College are generally a smart entry point for these kind of products because kids have a high adoption rate for this kind of tech. Furthermore, College kids make up the consumer group who spend crazily on "non-essential items".
Now allow me to address your concern as to why this is probably not going to hurt their bottom-line.
If the e-wallet becomes an option for 500 schools then that would mean there are about 908 users per school (i am using MOE information for 2018 on number of regular secondary schools = 1,982 with total enrollment of 1.8m students.)
I have no idea how much school kids need a month for food, but i will assume RM 100. So, that's about Rm 90,800 per school x 500 schools = RM 45,400,000 every month being topped up
Now one reason why i always find e-wallets model interesting is that this generally puts the company in a state of High liquidity. As its basically us giving the company all the money and letting them monitor us issue IOU's to each other. All of them allow money in very easily but the cashing out the IOU process could usually take 2-7 days.
In the meanwhile, they will keep earning interests on the deposits. 1%p.a for RM 45.4m would yield about RM 1243 per day as interest. And i am sure that they have a higher range of products available to them to yield much better rates. Furthermore for schools, it seems more likely they would follow a pay out once a week or once a month schedule.
Anyway, even if we assume that each school costs around 50k to install hardware. It is very likely that the installation costs will be covered by 2 months of interest from the schools Kiplepay usage.
On a side note:
Let's not forget that i calculated the minimum spend for 1 month of food at RM 100 but there is usually a tendency for majority of people to top up more money than they actually use.
How many of us are sitting around with excess moneys in our TnG, Grab, Lazada,Shoppee,Boost with no idea how to spend it because its too small to buy anything useful but too lazy to top-up the difference.
I believe digital wallet companies have taken the above fact into consideration and a percentage of all monies coming in are set aside for their own investments.
