Dividend @ $0.05; DRP @ $2.03

Posted by ban3n3 > 2014-04-22 21:23 | Report Abuse

Hi all,

I'm newbie to stock. Currently i'm having 500 shares of MBSB.
With dividend of rm0.05. I will be entitled to rm25.

If i take DRP,i will get around 12 number of shares. Eventually my total MBSB share number will be 512, which is odd lot. Meaning, i can't sell them in future.

Anyone faced this before? Any advice or suggestion on this? Or just ignore the DRP plan. ><

Posted by member41 > 2014-04-22 22:01 | Report Abuse

I think u can sell the 12 share but my broker told me u will get lower price for the odd lot. Can ask yr broker.

Posted by 2767max > 2014-04-22 22:46 | Report Abuse

i think u better take the cash,cuz 12 units not able to sell at the market price n maybe not enough to cover the selling charges.

Posted by RedEagle > 2014-04-22 22:54 | Report Abuse

DRP 2.03? Like ESOS.price 2.01 & 2.15..

Posted by 2767max > 2014-04-22 22:54 | Report Abuse

to be a full fledged bank in 2 years,will this be the factor to push the price up trend ? i dont think so cuz it still too far way.

Posted by Alas Long > 2014-04-22 22:58 | Report Abuse

2767, high possible after next 2 quarter if the corporate loan run well.

what is the purpose of Tokyo roadshow ? think of it,i think the possibility is to bring in japanese fund,according to the news,the japanese was quite interested with the roadshow.If not mistaken,in M'sia for the banking sector, individual investor is not allow to hold more than 10% and institutional investor is not allow to hold more than 40% ,correct me if i m wrong.Thus,EPF need to reduce their holding in MBSB in order to get banking licence from BNM,so they may bring in japanese fund,if this is true,the share price of MBSB will have a bright future.By bring in Japanese fund also can help to improve MBSB operational standards,this will be one stone two birds strategy.

Posted by iafx > 2014-04-23 11:42 | Report Abuse

already 80% ready now but remaining 20% est to take 2 years, ada logic ke? it seems that the mgmt. is NOT expect any change, everything remains status quo unless EPF say so.

We refer to letter from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) dated 23 April 2014 (Reference number: MM-140423-37347) on the following highlighted statements mentioned in the the abovementioned article which was published on the Edge Financial Daily Page 6 on Wednesday, 23 April 2014:-
“MBSB says it is on right track to be a full-fledged bank.”
“… MBSB is capable of being a standalone bank without any mergers and acquisition…”
“… MBSB can be a stand alone full-fledged bank as it is already quite “clean and lean”, noting that a banking license is needed if the company wants to operate as a full-fledged bank.”
We do not deny the abovesaid statements mentioned in the article. The statements should be read together with the rest of the article which states that any move towards becoming a bank will require approval from the shareholders and the authorities.
We wish to inform that MBSB has been continuously raising its operational standards to close the gap between itself and that of a licensed financial institution. In this context, MBSB has already completed 80% of best industry practices and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) guidelines and will expect the balance 20% to be completed within the next 2 years.

As of todate, MBSB has yet to make an application to the authorities for a banking license.
This announcement is dated 23 April 2014.

MBSB is too new in the market, its very hard to compete with so many other banks. When people look at the company logo, they will thought its the bank for mortgage only.

Posted by AlexisAAX > 2014-04-24 19:23 | Report Abuse

Mbsb has to improves their turnaround time for loan approval especially for mortgages.. By doing this then can compete with other banks.. Approval level must be at branch level.. Send the staff for training for credit etc..
They must be fully ready before applying banking license from bnm..
One day can become banks (more suitable if islamic bank).. And eat bank muamalat for instance to become a full fledge islamic bank.. Once have the can bring the investors from middle east to invest in mbsb..
