Next monday is EGM for this bonus issue.

Posted by Liau San > 2013-12-31 12:33 | Report Abuse

The price should be the ex date share price ×4÷5 (correct me if I am wrong,tq)

Posted by cheeseburger > 2013-12-31 15:50 | Report Abuse

stock up.

Posted by cheeseburger > 2013-12-31 16:34 | Report Abuse

say the share price is $2.60 and you hold 10,000 units. After the bonus shares, 1 bonus share for every 4 unit, you will have 12,500 shares and share price will adjust to $2.08.
If share price climb back to say $2.40 in 3 months time, your paper earn $4000

How to get the formula calculation for adjusted share price after bonus issue = ex-date share price x4/5? Thanks & Happy New Year.

Posted by Firebird2 > 2014-01-02 09:43 | Report Abuse

Yup Rachel, adjusted price if you use the last quoted price.

Posted by Rachel Lee Lingwooi > 2014-01-02 09:55 | Report Abuse

Firebird2, are you planning to hold or to sell before ex-date if the price goes well? Thanks.

"On Tuesday, the Cabinet Committee on Foreign Workers and Illegal Immi­grants had said that fast-food restaurants would not be allowed to hire foreign workers to give priority to Malaysians."
Cost increase will affect the bottomline as it employs many foreign workes in outlets

Posted by ryei > 2014-01-09 10:55 | Report Abuse

fast food restaurants.. do they included oldtown as fast food?
i think only applicable for kfc/mcd/pzh

Posted by eftee > 2014-01-09 10:56 | Report Abuse

If Oldtown is fast food then all the other cafes also fast food. The only shops no foreigners are mamak shops. But they also employ foreigners but you can't tell the difference.

Posted by Firebird2 > 2014-01-09 11:17 | Report Abuse

Some investors are clearing for some profits after the quick run-up. This counter has a numerous large foreign fund holdings besides the local funds. Think they would buy big time before the Bonus Ex-date (23Jan2014)

Posted by cheeseburger > 2014-01-09 15:39 | Report Abuse

operation is run by the franchisee, not Oldtown. Hiring recruitment all done by them. They control the P/L, not Oldtown.

Posted by Investeye > 2014-01-09 22:33 | Report Abuse

I think the price down due to gov is not allowed to hire foreign worker for fast food restaurant included OldTown. In fact the minimum salary started from this year is same impact too but I am confident that this factor is able to overcome by OldTown.

Posted by Investeye > 2014-01-09 22:40 | Report Abuse

cheeseburger, even this is run by franchise, but if the business is not profitable; indirectly The impact is there. Just likes present market, if the report that particular company has great potential (not sure even can get return at least similar to FD) but the price up and up, this is Malaysia share market!

oldtown kopitiam is con-job. look at their menu the servings all very big. but when the plate comes to you, serving very small.

Posted by Firebird2 > 2014-01-09 23:13 | Report Abuse

Very good discussion. Any opinion on whether Oldtown is resilent enough to cross Rm3.00 before ex?

Posted by Overweight > 2014-01-10 13:11 | Report Abuse

quiet! quiet!....how to cross 3.00?

Posted by eftee > 2014-01-13 09:41 | Report Abuse

But if company just selling instant coffee can be listed Oldtown can be better. Their outlets are franchised and they export coffee as well. My opinion

Posted by ryei > 2014-01-13 10:12 | Report Abuse

continue to rm3

Posted by sohofelix > 2014-01-13 11:52 | Report Abuse

2 weeks to go before ex-date

Posted by Superman2 > 2014-01-13 19:13 | Report Abuse

Definitely it will cross rm3 before the ex date!!!! Then everybody will be happy n grateful
