We can also write in to The Star to highlight to them how oriental is trading at such ridiculous valuations and get them to do an article on it

I think with regards to privatisation, its not going to happen because that would change the shareholding structure of the family. This may cause certain family members to hold more shares than others and could disrupt the family dynamics which public investors are not privy to

The best way forward for all shareholders is for management to issue bonus shares which would be proportionate to their shareholdings and would not disrupt the shareholding balance of the insiders.

retail shareholders also benefit as we get bonus shares paid out from retained earnings while Oriental's cash hoard is preserved

Now can go big on oriental, with the indonesia export ban release loh!

Posted by snowball2000 > 2022-05-23 10:02 | Report Abuse

Uplift of Indonesia export ban on palm oil is definitely a big plus for ORIENT...

ORIENT should continue to perform well with the uplift and re-opening of economies...

Posted by snowball2000 > 2022-05-23 10:08 | Report Abuse

Still a no-brainer at the current valuation!

There is a new DMO policy in place. Oriental will still remain profitable but I dont expect much growth on the plantation side. This is where the profits from the automobile and Hospitality will come in to boost oriental further.

Remember that inflation now enables oriental to sell their cars, bikes and engines at a much higher price and consumers are still buying thanks to a stronger malaysian economy

Barring unforeseen, ORIENT should continue to create value for all shareholders. We should be happy to continue as shareholders..

Oriental just refuses to stay below $7 for very long in spite of awful mkt sentiment! Better hold the most SOLID co. in Bursa =)

Blockbuster results!!! Last qtr result ALONE gives it a very reasonable PE of 16 =D Granted the $210 m disposal contributed a big chunk yet the core profit was commendable with plantations offsetting automotive. NOW we know why the price was so steady all this time(insiders accumulating)

At least management is doing something via monetizing assets/unlocking value. this hotel sale is just a start.

Hold tight tight...not like my petronm friend who hastily sold just above $7...talk like value & dividend investor but turns out to be another action junkie only after fast capital gains.

Posted by snowball2000 > 2022-05-27 10:23 | Report Abuse

If the gain on disposal of approx. 210mil (or about 0.33 per share) is paid out special dividend, the share price should spike! Unfortunately, Loh fahmily is too rich to want the dividend... :(

ORIENT is keeping too much $$$$$$!

Posted by valueinvestor96 > 2022-05-27 12:18 | Report Abuse

I think there would be a special dividend for this year due to the exceptional gain. My estimate would be a special 10sen a share in addition to the usual dividend declared last year. This will bring the total dividends for Oriental this year to 50sen a share or 7% dividend yield

Posted by snowball2000 > 2022-05-27 15:44 | Report Abuse

If 0.50 dividend is true, it is music to my ears.... ;p

Dec is the likely timeframe for any special div. Most gamblers in this shunned-by-foreigners mkt are too impatient to wait so long.

Very good profit mah!

Very steady loh!

Posted by Fabien _the efficient capital allocator > 2022-05-28 14:56 | Report Abuse

either they distribute the excess cash or make it work harder. the only way to close the gap between share price and book value is to increase its return on capital

Posted by dompeilee > 2022-05-28 17:19 | Report Abuse

If we're not in a bear mkt now, the price would be easily above $7.50.

Posted by valueinvestor96 > 2022-05-30 08:48 | Report Abuse

Distributing excess cash is easy but the best way to boost investor's interest is the issuance of bonus stock to bring up the trading price to the NAV of the company and improve trading liquidity

By almost any & every metric, Oriental is the most fail-safe investment in Bursa, ahead of Maybank, PBB & even the Petronas companies. To have no shares now & wishing you had not sold must be really heartbreaking, when said person claimed to be targetting a dividend income of $4k per mth when he retires(likely forced to retire) at 60 in less than 5 years' time.

Looking at the volume ytd, there was a shakeout and alot of those who bought at $6 were selling out. Whoever is the market maker is now in control of those shares and they can ramp the price up to $10 without selling pressure because weak holders have all been taken out
