Yes, who knows.
1) I maybe dreaming that they will pay dividend twice a year of 3 cents each. We will know in a few months time.
2) I think after all the buy backs, majority share holder is now closer to 40%, but I may be dreaming again.
3) Directors are responsible and would like to keep their reputation by not over paying for new biz, as not to effect their reputation and ownership in other publically traded companies. But again, I may be dreaming.

Like I said, calculated risk.

@0.875 sens there is a high margin of safety because cash pile is worth about RM 1.64 per share. Paying 6 sens dividends yearly is no problem it would take years and years to deplete cash hoard. Anyway nobody knows what happens in future but to me MAA is low risk bet.

Recent share buy back average price is @ 0.95 sen so @ 0.875 is bargain price to pick up some.Cheers .

Buyers are trying to buy cheap and no sellers are willing to sell cheap. It is a good sign that price was well supported . Hope that the announcement of the next qtyly result is not bad and I believe MAAG is going to trending up due to corporate exercise soon.

It's up to Bursa to approve extention or not. Chairman has said wants to maintain company as listed. I think Bursa will give extension. Bursa needs to promote itself, having many listed company only increases Bursas own value. It is in their interest to grant the extension too.

In the account in MAAG, the company can do the consolidation MAA Philippines account to MAAG for next qtrly results. If profitable next year, it will benefits MAAG results.

Coming to the end of December, still has no announcement of any M&A. Is it good news or bad news?

Posted by balvin71 > 2016-12-09 20:27 | Report Abuse

I am also anxiously waiting for news on M&A. By being able to consolidate MAAGAP results, they will be able to report revenue on top of share of profit. I don't think this will help EPS much, have to wait for this biz to grow. Need to acquire a couple more profitable businesses. Than will fly.

Danny has spoken again. Share price will go up now. In this case, I agree, no special dividend. Just hoping for the interim dividend of 3 cents that they usually give twice a year. :)

Maybe Danny can give good stocks to buy....so we sell all the MAA....afterall any safe stocks please willing to share with all ?

Posted by invest_101 > 2017-02-14 12:50 | Report Abuse

I think margin of safety is quite high for this stock, ie nta around rm2.00, comprising largely cash. In the worst case scenario, even if they buy overvalued assets by 2X, downside in the immediate term would be limited in my opinion. On the other hand if they buy a business with reasonable return, the upside would be substantial especially exiting PN status.

danny123, you very clever la. Please check if MAA interested in the married deal. Than a few of us can get together, buy below RM1.00 and sell at RM1.00 or slightly above RM1.00. Can make easy money. By when you can get back to us?
