Can't wait for next month's dividend. Going to keep this counter until it reaches rm7. how long it's going to take? 2 to 3 years ...

Nicole, don't see any dividend announcements? How much is traditional dividend b4 split shares?

Posted by Abudance > 2013-10-21 09:38 | Report Abuse

Yeah, Nicole. Pharma usually announce dividend in nov and dec payment. No wonder price steadily go up!

Posted by nicole76 > 2013-10-21 10:20 | Report Abuse

Last year they gave out rm0.10 before split. This year may be around rm0.50.. if they give lower then shareholders may sell like the last dividend issue....if more then will go up above rm5 ;)

Nicole, you mean 5 sen and not 50 sen for last quarter, right? If 50 sen ..punters will buy in and sell when ex! :)

No worries. Pharma movement better than Ahealth. :)

Posted by nicole76 > 2013-10-22 16:00 | Report Abuse

Cause dividend going to announce, wait for ahealth next year with jump above rm5 too nearing announcement date. That time should have rm0.10 to rm0.11 dividend like past records.

Hmmm how come price coming down despite the imminent dividend announcement ???

Posted by nicole76 > 2013-10-25 17:11 | Report Abuse

Because people are not sure whether going to be good dividend or not...many speculating...but for those holding long term doesn't really bother us :)

Posted by connie > 2013-11-19 08:24 | Report Abuse

thought i cud enjoy my morning coffee but THIS....

in the report, it says PBT drops becoz of reduction in concession business from the govt and provision of doubtful debts. this meant they have been selling to govt at skyhigh prices and now govt does not want to pay and so debts provision ????? does it mean this way ??? someone from govt already pocketted the $$$$$ and now govt does not want to pay pharma :(

Posted by Abudance > 2013-11-19 11:38 | Report Abuse

Connie, Govt not paying... So how to keep supplying?? Also concession to them also not renewed with govt. so likely will adjust downwards till hear good news again next year... Perhaps.

oh abundance...pharma said received fresh budget allocation for 4Q13 from govt. rating still "buy" :)
