First quarter earnings to be announced next month should include substantial gains from the disposal of a property in Australia. The 4.1 sen a share final dividend is really a windfall. I am already more than satisfied with a 3 sen dividend.
Hahaha...... if u buy the share price at RM1.00 that mean you will die faster. Basically, the share price drop after ex-dividend date because the share price of a company trades in the market without the dividend.
We refer to the announcements dated 17 January 2018 and 21 February 2018 in relation to the Company’s non-compliance with the public shareholding spread requirement pursuant to Paragraph 8.02(1) of the LR of Bursa Securities (“Announcements”).

(i) As at the date of this announcement, TAG’s public shareholding spread is 24.54%.
(ii) The Company is in the midst of evaluating various alternatives to address the shortfall in the public shareholding spread requirement and will make the relevant announcement on the Company’s finalized plan to address the non-compliance in due course.
(iii) Bursa Securities, vide its letter dated 14 February 2018, has granted the Company an extension of time of six (6) months until 28 June 2018 to comply with the public shareholding spread requirement.
Was hitting hard since 26th-April, then come election nomination day and 4.1 cents dividend, what all these mean to TA price in next few trading days, will the tsunami come?
A lot of values in TA. It worths more than RM1.45 per share. To name a few, KLCC land (RM3,600psf vs book value RM580psf), Damansara Avenue land (RM500psf vs book value RM87psf) and Bukit Bintang land (RM3,600psf vs book value RM680psf). If something worths RM1.45 sold at RM0.52 is called lelong, how about something worth more than RM2.50 sold at RM0.52?

joetay Please don't mind If I say You are not keeping up with latest developments on TA & TAGB. Both this counters will be reporting a MEGA PROFIT in next quarterly results (end of May 2018 announcement). Roughly at about a whopping 6 sens for TAGB and a whopping 10 sens for TA. Mind you this is only based on profit from sale of Little Bay Sydney. Ringgit appreciation brought down the last quarterly results from the normal. One of the reasons for both TA and TAGB share price going lower to incredible firesale price. The other major reason is Tony not being able to continue TAGB share purchase as he has gone over the limit on minimum of 25% floatation requirement.
In coming AGM/EGM TAGB is asking for shareholder approval to issue more shares. Once obtained, can expect TAGB to do the necessary to fulfill requirement.

FROM HERE WE SEE TOTAL NET ASSETS/INVESTMENTS OF TAGB AT RM6.34 BILLIONS

It is true that TAGB is having high debts. But if we weigh the positives and discount the negatives, we can still conclude that TA and TAGB are valued buys. The debts incurred are mostly loans for hotel purchase. When the room rates received is higher than the expenses and bank repayment, they are still generating positive cash flow. I would say Tony is a very aggressive boss. However, the management is also trying to bring down its debts recently with the sales of Little Bay and HK office.
Tony is happy that the investors and fund managers have been neglecting TA and TAGB. He has been able to collect more shares at lower price. TA was actually a Tiger mistaken as a Cat, a Phoenix mistook as a Turkey or a Horse mistook as a Goat.
joetay If you are concerned about TAGB debt level, it is a valid concern. It is not that you are wrong as Joo Kim has also mentioned a couple of years ago that the net gearing needs to be lowered. With the sale of Little Bay the debt is being reduced from about 2.5 Billion ringgit to 1.9 Billion. Considering the quality assets it owns in various countries (currency risk is well spread out) and also the fact that many of these properties have not been revalued for very many years to show most current valuation, TAGB and TA are selling at a large discount. I don't think the debt level is as big a concern as it was in the past. Still it is up to our individual interpretation or assesment of the whole picture. I agree with Calvin, Enid, super 888 and many others that the time has come for TA & TAGB to show much stronger performance in the months and years ahead. Why don't you join us ?
