Whats the fair value? 50 cents or 60 cents?

Govn cannot help cut more jobs please. Ask EPF whether true.

You are right ibi chan.
One analyst already put fair value at 60 sens before this quarterly result.

no dividend. short term can't generate cash. expenses is so high, killing this company softly if no action done.

Time to relook into it as a growth company. Keep for next 2 years. Short term won't see much improvement. Next quarter should have a weak profit.

Media depends on revenue from advertising. They diversified to other businesses. Astro is monopoly who depends on other network. Media operates their own TV channels. They also produce own content.

Shouldn't effect much since its just an associate level business. Normally nominees have to display their name unless Morgan Stanley buy on behalf of someone.?

Posted by ocpd > 2017-08-15 17:34 | Report Abuse

Morgan Stanley is an investment bank, a crooked one maybe. Their job is to help clients unload Media Prima while at the same time creating false buying impression. How they do it? Well investment banker are expert in such thing thats why called crooked investment bank.

Posted by Daily8 > 2017-08-15 18:01 | Report Abuse

If really a company is in deteriorating business condition, it won't be able to channel out good dividend. SO WHY MEDIA able to do so?

Secondly, who is MORGAN STANLEY? WHY NO BURSA QUERY with their extensive buying? Is somebody purposely PRESSING DOWN the price to accumulate?

Third, does the FA of MEDIA reflected in their pricing now ?

Posted by gcke > 2017-08-15 18:24 | Report Abuse

Points of Conjecture:

1.Agreed with forumers why Morgan Stanley is accumulating large tranche of the shares when it is losing money RM 59 million last year? And also the two QRs in the second half of the year 2017.
2.Financial Analysis(FA) on the company shows what a poor performance and ill-managed company.EPS: Negative;ROE: Negative but last year can pay large dividends giving DY of almost 11.50% (better than your FD rate!).Sigh:-(((
3.Technical Analysis (TA) shows price has been dropping like a" waterfall". MA.MACD,RSI support continuing bearishness for the stock.
4.Recently,announced that Malaysia Newsprint Industries(MNI) plant in Pahang will be closed down.This is a JV between Media Prima and Hong Leong Industries(HLI).Another Negative.
5. The company also suffered from continuing and falling advertising revenues from their printed media and broadcasting channels with the advent of digital news and paid TV.More choices and alternatives for the public and advertisers.Company slow to response to changing trends and market development.

Outcome: One stock politically-aligned with the ruling party.Comes GE-!4 will give the stock like Utusan,FGV,MRCB,MYEG,and others some momentarily relief.Immediate term no corporate development that can move the stock price higher.Speculative counter only good for punting to make some small profit gains.Not for investing unless FA change dramatically.

Ohh Wow Media, hahahah!!
Professor agreed with apolloang and ocpd.

Hey hey hey,, you people here you sure you know what are you taking or not?? LOL
And don't talk about election bla bla bla Media will up up up, it doesn't really looks like will be carrying out this year, LOL
Only your head keep up up up until become giraffe got lah, hahahahah
With such high running cost to maintain,,, professor would highly recommend you to login to this website "www.wait_long_long.com" (since Media has now penetrate into digital segment) to register yourself if you think/would like to receive so called "impressive dividend" form Media! Hahahahah
By year end, there will be a 300 mil note to surrender, and currently it only has about 282 mil cash/equivalents on hand!!
Get ready to see your lovely Media to CRASHHHH below 50 cents lah!!!
Lose until your underwear also gone, LOL Hahahahahah!!

We cannot deny Media is in a turbulent condition at the moment. Looking at media long history in media advertising and years of delivering platforms for every big companies in , it will not be difficult for Media to make a transition from tv advertising to digital advertising and others.

ivan9511, a stereotypical managements are problematic in the world today. The frequency of embracing the "change" is another.
If the Directors are not far far...sighted, they'll be outlasted by the fast changing world.

MEDIA suffer the blow so far BUT.....if you go to :-----

https://www.mediaprima.com.my/ you will notice the company awake of what is going on with the defeat and their weakness. They are moving quite fast in pace to achieve the digital path launching and attributing apps and developments, Reporters from all over working in Media gathering news and reporting the latest news online, Radio advertising (is in fact still a big business for Media) Newspapers like NST, Berita Harian, Metro, Studio advertising like Primeworks still a vast in contributing revenues for Media.

Morgan unsure if buying on behalf of they buying into fund since its a direct transaction. EPF buy is normal that they support glc. I buy due to their potential turnaround and diversification of other businesses might believe should be able to not solely rely on print and other traditional mediums. Again, invest at own risk. Not because someone is buying.

Huhuhu... Nothing to Hide becomes Everything to Hide.
2.Transparency in any large stock transactions must be promptly announced.That to allow investors and punters alike to make an informed decision.
3.That is also to uphold on regulatory's listing requirements.
4.Transparency makes for an integrity and trusted equity market.
5.Once the trust on the share is lost it is very difficult to gain back the confidence of the holders and investors for the stock.

Last jobs cut(10%) not enough. Next jobs cut minimum target 20%.
