It is slow to react to good news but reacts immediately to bad news. Small investors have no confidence in this company. Sad!

People often say in times of uncertainty, cash is king. This doesn't seem to be true for Keck Seng.

I have lost faith in this company. Hope the major shareholders can take Keck Seng private at a reasonable price (over RM6 a share) soonest possible.

Please don't!!!

Reward la the faithful minority shareholders with a fat special dividend and please give bonus to add liquidity to this stock!

Since Keck Seng is so cash rich, it should distribute all it earns as dividend.

If the company decides to compensate investors for the loss of dividends in 2020 and 2021 and declares a 26 sen a share final dividend, then it is worthwhile to buy at this price.

boo chow. worst company ever. paper profit now all gone

Posted by prudentinvestor > 2023-03-30 17:27 | Report Abuse

Keck Seng normally announces timelines for final dividend payment in the first week of April. Should the directors decide to compensate investors for the loss of dividends for years 2020 and 2021, there is still hope that its share price may recover.

At the company's AGM every year, the management would seek shareholders' mandate for proposed share buy back by the company but they take no action after that. Don't know why they want to waste time on this.

Glad kSeng announced a total of 14 cents dividen for year 2022

Hope later announced another 20 cents for year 2023
Plus bonus issue!

Posted by prudentinvestor > 2023-04-07 10:02 | Report Abuse

Very difficult to get Keck Seng directors to pay higher dividends. With a cash pile of over RM 1 billion, money is what Keck Seng least needs. Yet for decades, its directors have been unwilling to share the spoils with small shareholders but would immediately reduce/cut completely dividend payment when it faces the slightest headwind.

Posted by prudentinvestor > 2023-04-07 10:43 | Report Abuse

Hope it doesn't dip below yesterday's closing price of RM3.60. A dividend of 9 sen a share is too little to excite small investors.

Posted by Diamond7 > 2023-04-07 10:47 | Report Abuse

With 9 cents dividend
Kseng oso can't move up!!!
Directors.....please do something to energise KSeng...

Posted by prudentinvestor > 2023-04-07 12:19 | Report Abuse

Just distribute 50 to 60% of the company's earnings to its shareholders as dividends, Keck Seng's share price would immediately spike. Allocate another RM10 million per year (less than the interest the company earns a year) to buy its own shares would energize Keck Seng further.

Selling Keck Seng at RM3.50 is just sheer craziness. Its cash and value of its share investments are already worth almost RM3.90 a share. Its other assets in Malaysia including thousands of acres of plantation land in Johor Bahru, property development land, golf club, factories, Menara Keck Seng, Regency Tower etc are worth RM4 to 5 billion, not including properties in the US, Canada and Singapore.

I have been holding some Keck Seng shares for probably 30 years, bought before the 1 for 2 bonus in 1995. I have funny odd lots.

Posted by DickyMe > 2023-04-09 16:50 | Report Abuse

Holding a degenerate stock for umpteen years is not a feat.
30 years ago, if my memory serves me right, it was in the range of RM5 to 7 or more.
Look at it's value now. If it is that good it should be above RM12 or more. If you are happy with miserable dividends, then you are not bluffing me, but yourself.

@BobAxelrod33, I have stopped investing in speculative stocks for several years. Tell me the date and time that I had promoted Serba last year.

Posted by prudentinvestor > 2023-04-10 14:21 | Report Abuse

@DickMe, did I say it was a feat? Read my comments, I have been dressing down the management in most of my comments. I bought Keck Seng shares likely in 1993 or 1994 at under RM3 a share. After two 1 for 2 bonus issues, my average price is now just RM1.20 a share. Keck Seng traded between a low of RM1.45 and high of RM4.73 in 1993/94. It could have gone up to over RM7 a share earlier before another bonus issue in the late 80s.

in 2010, Keck Seng got a winfall for the Singapore Parkway takeover by Singh Barothers and its share price went to over RM 7.00

Posted by prudentinvestor > 2023-04-11 20:57 | Report Abuse

Keck Seng sold its stake in Parkway Holdings to a Malaysian company called Integrated Healthcare Holdings Ltd, owned by the Malaysian government. India’s Fortis Healthcare Ltd. lost the tussle for control of Parkway Holdings.

If the company makes better use of its RM1 billion cash instead of keeping it in US$ and Sing$ deposits, Keck Seng shares will not only fly but shoot through the roof.
