if like that, I rather not to receive dividen.
I hope MBSB will become a Commercial Bank one day

这会比起得到股息来得好!

有一天如果MBSB真的成为Commercial Bank的话，

股价至少值rm3.50以上。

Well at this price it's cheap.. If it get the commercial bank status maybe $3.50 easily
It's still a takeover target for other bank as its profitable

How about another alternative merger. MBSB-BankRakyat-BSN-Affin.

Dropped again. Qtr results this week, right?

Posted by Investeye > 2015-01-26 15:47 | Report Abuse

Worth to look into MBSB as present price is RM2.10, with limited downside, so decoded to bought in few lots.

Yeah. Usually end of the month or early first week Feb.

Waiting for the quarterly result. Definitely the total revenue, gross profit and net profit for year 2014 will be better than year 2013. Buy and keep, be patience and steady :)

Quarter result with exceptional record out tomorrow but why is the price so low?

Posted by drkervokian > 2015-01-27 10:19 | Report Abuse

could it be that insider traders already know that they will NOT be issuing any dividends? and that Q4 earnings are not terribly fantastic although the year's performance is pretty good?

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-27 10:23 | Report Abuse

Last year I received 18% special dividend, this year probably higher?

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-27 10:36 | Report Abuse

Another FGV in the making, extremely oversold. with exceptional quarter announcement(hopefully with special dividend). My target 2.40 next week.

Posted by derekdan > 2015-01-27 11:13 | Report Abuse

All hopes on dividend, the only worry is curtailing dividend to meet capital ratio requirement

Posted by derekdan > 2015-01-27 11:34 | Report Abuse

Despite the dividend uncertainty, picking bottom at this price should be quite safe, only question is when is the rebound and the sustainability of the rally.

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-27 11:42 | Report Abuse

After checking, it turn out that MBSB listed ESOS...once ESOS listing and sold, MBSB will rebound very strongly...buying momentum convincing at 2.10

Posted by beso > 2015-01-27 11:49 | Report Abuse

how do you know as mbsb issue esos share frequently？

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-27 11:55 | Report Abuse

From the Additional Listing Announcement of Bursa Malaysia , MBSB start listing ESOS since September last year....Let's hope this exercise will end soon

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-27 13:12 | Report Abuse

2.7 million ESOS share listed on 23/1/14. Should have been taken all last Friday and Monday. If I am right, tomorrow will be a strong rebound with announcement of quarter result.

Posted by RedEagle > 2015-01-27 13:15 | Report Abuse

Where got announcment to announce result tomorrow.. kakashii.. where you get the info?

Posted by Hulk > 2015-01-27 13:15 | Report Abuse

kakshii, hope you are right...... a strong rebound....all the way to 3.00 hahahah.

Posted by The One > 2015-01-27 13:19 | Report Abuse

And then Mbsb may suddenly request for a temporary halt for a material announcement.. that will be nice.. like last year.. :)

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-27 14:47 | Report Abuse

Last year announce on 28/1/13. I sold after received special dividend. This year could be higher.

Nobody know is there any div or not

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-27 18:25 | Report Abuse

I made so much this January buying into Cimb, Benalec, FGV, and BIMB. Next week hopefully MBSB will breach 2.40 as quarter result will definitely reward special dividend like last year. Since EPF holding majority shares of MBSB, special dividend somewhat assured.

Posted by aaronooi > 2015-01-27 20:35 | Report Abuse

A good stock to buy. Our company's research (insider) shows that this stock is expected to reach at least RM 2.30 - RM 2.40 if willing to hold within a year with decent dividend is to be expected. However, at the moment, do not expect the stock to be acquired by other bank (to increase its value) or becoming a commercial bank anytime soon. For experience investment bankers like us, we buy and sell, sell to buy, to get profit. For small time or medium-term investors, better to buy this stock for long term value investing. Read: Warren Buffet. If need quick money based on speculating/praying/hoping, please avoid this stock as there's better stock available than this one. Personally, I felt MBSB tends to give out high dividend... and this makes the stock price go down a little... I would prefer no dividend this year for this bank to increase its reinvestment for long term... oh well... PS. I used to work as investment banker (before I start my own investment company) and used to work in some well-known (not in Malaysia la) investment company. Would like to help small time investors sometimes though so do check me out from time to time. Good luck in investing!

I think Mbsb mortgage profit margin is quite high compare to normal bank
Hence, we may see it as a very attractive takeover target
Now they can deal with another bank
And looking at a 2 way merger between (Mbsb + a major bank) is more logical than a 3 way merger which complicates stuff (2 major bank +mbsb merge) - as minimal impact to the branch and staff
Other banks shld start nego with Mbsb soon

Posted by kk123 > 2015-01-27 21:38 | Report Abuse

Cimb + rhb doesn't make sense - as many will lose jobs and branch close down etc As lots of duplicates BUT :
Maybe if cimb + Mbsb or
rhb + Mbsb
Maybe the deal will complete long time ago

Posted by RedEagle > 2015-01-27 22:23 | Report Abuse

How many branches they have now?

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-28 10:36 | Report Abuse

Heavy selldown today indicate bottoming. Buy and hold. Reward will be grand once quarter result is announced

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-28 10:40 | Report Abuse

Beside ESOS, another factor for selldown is certain shareholders unload their position after merger was call off. Buy and hold

Posted by Stan Lee > 2015-01-28 10:50 | Report Abuse

if no div coming out this stock will fall to sea level

Posted by kakashii > 2015-01-28 10:57 | Report Abuse

Stan, you mean special dividend right? No, dividend is definite. Only special dividend not confirm but I am sure with result much better compare to last year, anything is possible.

Posted by 8illionaire > 2015-01-28 11:16 | Report Abuse

based on price movements, it's likely that there's NO special dividend.

Posted by Fong Kh > 2015-01-28 11:41 | Report Abuse

NO HOPE?

Posted by 8illionaire > 2015-01-28 11:48 | Report Abuse

just collect the expected dividend lo. Special dividend most likely no. If have, insiders would have swooped up the price. Look at it's price movements, you can tell la.

surge in BUY volume at 2.07.// interesting.
