younginvestor92 , hi younginvestor92 , why this company make big loss still can provide high dividend as usual , ? ? loss money still can give high dividend ?
US summer demand is absolutely weak one. It is a cycle.I think If I'm top management, I would issue low yield dividend for next quarter. So that, share price will drop more, eliminating those traders or speculators, and give chance for real investor to accumulate at low share price . Issued better dividend yield by year end to reward those investor.
The global demand for Hard Disk Drive (“HDD”) products continues to face a very challenging global economic environment. The total addressable market (“TAM”) remains weak in the coming quarters.
The production facilities in YK Foshan had not been optimised meaningfully and the Group has sufficient production facilities in other locations should TAM recover in the near term.
The Board, taking cognisant of the above and after having reviewed and assessed the overall production facilities of the Group, is of the view that it is more operationally efficient and cost effective to cease the operations in YK Foshan.
I have told people that Hard Disk Drive Industry is in trouble. They are replaced by SSD. Especially 2,5 inch drives (for notebooks) will be gone in a matter of time. What is left is 3.5 inch drives which has limited volume. That means revenue of JCY will be down. Unless JCY has replacement business, I think the counter will be on the -ve trend.
goldisgold, loss is due to forex loss which is a non cash item. Other than that, changes in the other working capital such as payable, receivables and inventories will have impact on cash movement as well
funny everyone say hard disk drive is dead due to SSD is cheaper. so today i went digital mall survey, and this is what i got:-
HDD 500GB - RM180 HDD 1TB - RM210
SSD 120GB - RM 220 <- Only gamer will use this SSD 250GB - RM 399 <- Still not enough for business use SSD 500GB - RM 899 <- Barely enough, and it's still freaking expensive, can get 5 qty of harddisk drive with the same pricing
So according to Morse law, every 2 year, Price drop to half, given 1TB is out 2017, and the price is RM1599.
Still, you need 6~8 Years for it to drop to RM200. by then, your dividend return of JCY already cover 80% of your capital. by then standard storage is jumped to 4TB. Good luck catching up HDD, SSD mate!
GGmalaysia, you are right but we cannot think logically in investing.Investing is an 'Art'.Eg. Some odd drawing may be valued a few millions while some good drawing just valued at a few hundreds.
Personally, I think there's nothing wrong with the share, it's just that some people took advantage of the uncertain times to suppress the price to collect from the weak holders......when things turn for the better the price will recover.
not everyday you can get 0.595 ohh.... hope this counter does not go up at all, but continue giving good dividends...... wakakakaka, think i will get shot for this :)
The main issues for last quarter loss are their massive forex losses and also lower sales mainly from Malaysia as the profit dropped 45% compared to previous year same q. Also, they have ceased operation of the Company’s subsidiary in China, YK Foshan, announced on 23rd May 2016. As these all negative news will suppress or even pressing down the JCY share prices further deep for next 2 q as the tax exemption only will start from August 2016.
Due to increase of minimum wage in M'sia the company have to cut cost by bringing down the amount of employees to 4,000 jobs to total 16,000 from 20,000 employees as mentioned earlier by company's finance director as stated from Starbiz dated 25/11/2015 . Additionally, the group is automating many of its production processes and has managed to reduce its workforce significantly . By the way JCY International saves some Rm 600 million from the years 2002-2012 in 10 years period from being tax exempted .
suggest hold till Sept, and only decide whether to top-up then (if the rationale for you to top-up is just to average down). price might be higher (then no issue for you), or lower (then top-up). there is no guarantee that JCY will declare dividend then. but at least the Q report for 30-June would be out. easier to gauge then......
