just note guys this is akin to a utility counter for dividends and not a growth stock. P/B lowest about 0.5 and and PE generally 7 and shares outstanding 767 million..wish you guys all the best. I might revisit lower, prices god forbid
Technically it is weak n it certainly hasn't found its bottom. This co used to be profitable n now it incur loss. Previously I intend to hold long term but now I have lost faith. Sad. It is in recession free industry n with huge pile of cash n it still cannot make money. Another factor is someone knows its qr is no good and it play up its price to sell at the expense of small shareholders. Cunning n malicious.
I already gave warning of poor QR on 23/2. MNRB has risen from below 90 sen to as high as RM1.29 in about 2 months, that's roughly 40% gain. My second best gain this year after MAA.
the sudden fall was due to short selling, extreme speculation recently... overall, Q1 to Q3, still making net profit exceeding RM35mil + during this challenging period.... recent extreme fall was due to extreme short selling :)
KUALA LUMPUR (March 1): Bursa Malaysia today suspended the proprietary day trading (PDT) and intraday short selling (IDSS) of MNRB Holdings Bhd's shares, as the counter breached its price limit after dropping as much as 21 sen or 16.9% to touch an intraday-low of RM1.03.
In a filing, Bursa Malaysia said the PDT and IDSS activities for the general reinsurer has been suspended for the rest of the day as the counter has dropped more than 15 sen or 15% from its reference price.
"The PDT and IDSS activities will only be enabled the following trading day, Monday, March 4, 2019 at 8.30am," it said.
Yesterday, MNRB announced that it had incurred a net loss of RM12.5 million in its third quarter ended Dec 31, 2018, compared to net profit of RM36.22 million a year earlier, while revenue retreated 2.6% to RM565.85 million from RM581.41 million.
For the first nine months of its financial year, net profit declined 67% to RM35.47 million from RM107.38 million, while revenue fell 9.3% to RM1.67 billion from RM1.84 billion due to lower gross premiums and contributions from both its reinsurance and takaful subsidiaries.
many people don't have insurance policies in Malaysia... insurance is a growth sector. be patient
LIAM president Anusha Thavarajah said the outlook and prospects of the life insurance industry remain positive as the percentage of population with life insurance or takaful plans is still low at 54%.
MNRB is deeply undervalued at thie level. Will be happy to see the this stock selling cheap because of RM12mil loses. I can see smart investors have been accumulating...
