1) It is only for purely dividend play, as growth rate is minimal, as same as TM

2) Malaysia has HP penetration rate is about 110% already (HP > population), so near matured and saturated state, further growth rate is about population growth and economy growth. So there is little need to further expansion and capex, except for newer tech come in which need for major upgrade across which in near future is highly unlikely. Population is the major issue which is the upper cap of your potential customers as well as per capital income.
That's why a lot of large cap company (even in financial), has ventured to overseas to look for more growth.

3) 2009 surely has impact on all across (it is norm to see any company register a dip in revenue and profit side), as recession kick in as well as lot of foreigner workers being sent back. (Foreigner workers also are one of chunck of prepaid business)

5) If it turns out to be 7.7% yield with consistency, it is still a reasonable dividend stock especially for large cap stocks. But share price wise won't be too exciting, may be just like Guiness type of movement but if treat it as old man stock to collect dividend only, still is a choice.

How much is the dividend? If stingy dividend, no point holding it. But because this time is Maxis Malaysia, not Maxis Communications, therefore its movement may not look like TM's. Let's see how it goes.

It has been reported that Maxis aims to give 75% of its profit made as dividend.

while TM is giving 90% of its profit as divvy, ya?

when everyone is crushing their heads to grab a piece of maxis cake, perhaps we may switch target to other telcos such as Digi / TM etc? 

if in doubt, pick

TM + Axiata
or
Maxis + Digi
or
TM +Digi
or
Digi + Axiata
or
Maxis + TM
or
Maxis + Digi + Tm + Axiata (er) at least got all the lubang covered.

i'd avoid Maxis. go for Digi + TM Combooooo

maxis might see a strong goreng pressure on first 2 days of listing.

For Maxis potential shareholders.
