Reversal coming, foreign entities selling like crazy. RM 1b out last Friday

RDSB results are out.

Cut two-third dividend to 16cents from 47cents.

I am giving a scenario of 16cents again for the next Q, which is very optimistic already given the months of april and may is gone.

Taking a GBX scenario.
Scenario 1: 13pence*4Q with current price at 13.5pound: ~4% divvy yield
Scenario 2: assuming Q1 to Q4: Q1 16p + Q2 16p (because they secure loan and cuts share repurchase, may be able to give the same dividend as per Q1), Q3 and Q4 recover to 20p: ~5% divvy yield.

At current price of 13.5
Scenario 1: ~50pence - 4%
Scenario 2: ~70pence - 5%

Is it still a good purchase now? Or is it fairly valued? Im putting 13.5 pound share as the current price. Of course, if it is lower, your yield will increase. Now...my take, i will wait for it to drop more to justify the yield, given the circumstances of oil price increasing but without demand still, its like taking a shot at future already.

What's your comfortable price to enter zack? The drop is big today. The only unsure thing is the next 3 days.

It is about 5.5% yield given the same scenarios i put, with slight adjustment to 12.5 instead of 13.5.

To hit 6% ish, it must go down to 1150. Oilprice really swings. I hope some made money when i call it to average at 24 early last week.
On a side note if interested, get into BP once below 300, HSBC and Stan chart below 400, get all in, once it rebounds, go for a quick profit.
Currently FTSE and europe is looking bad because ECB offers more funding for banks and also predicts might -12% GDP this year, investors panic. hahaahah

It still boils down to fundamentals for the banks. Hsbc and scb are emerging markets focussed banks and top 10/100 in the world. One of the other reason to like scb is if you like DBS, then all the better as temasek owns a big part of it if you like (not a very appaling reason but sg can wield more shareholder power like Icahn).

HKers are emotional people but very calculative. Obviously HSBC biggest bank there and once economy recover slowly but surely in the long run, money will pour back in. But ive been monitoring these two and yoyo above below 400, some support levels.

Other cases, try offshore banks or even LATAM banks. Some are a cheap deal right now. Whats your tech profiles like? Im monitoring some now too. Missed the boat on TTD earlier.

ITUB - latam shares, looking for an entry.
NTB - im vested in this one currently (super glad i make the right decision, just didnt go thousands inside, with a few hundred dollars only, i would say for banks, i dont buy JPM, BAC, i choose these offshore banks where ultra rich are), this stock is a keeper for long term hold. I will go more when it goes down if ever. Reported good growths compared to big banks today!

Tech stocks: i havent made any buys but looking at ur above list, only amazon, msoft, visa, rubi, alteryx and yext are on my watchlist (mix of growth and majors).

Malaysia's central bank had forecast in April for growth in gross domestic product (GDP) of between -2% and 0.5% this year.

"But that forecast was made after just two weeks of movement curbs. We're now more than five weeks in ... so our GDP could shrink even more," Tengku Zafrul said in an interview with a local television channel.

-ve interests are very uncapitalistic lol. But maybe fed level, consumer maybe still +ve

Jyske Bank A/S, Denmark’s third-largest bank, announced on Monday, Aug. 5, that it is offering 10-year mortgages at a rate of negative 0.5%.

Another Danish bank, Nordea Bank Abp, also said that it will begin offering 20-year fixed-rate mortgages with 0% interest, as well as 30-year mortgages at 0.5%, Bloomberg reports.

Frankfurt Deutsche Bank will soon introduce negative interest rates for large deposits in its retail banking business and that of its subsidiary Postbank. “The ongoing pressure from negative interest rates makes it necessary for Deutsche Bank to charge custody fees for new contracts for high deposits beyond an allowance of EUR 100,000 per account from May 18, 2020,” a spokesman for the institute told Handelsblatt on request. The custody fee should amount to 0.5 percent and thus corresponds to the fees that the European Central Bank (ECB) charges banks for money parked there.

“This helps us on the earnings side, but above all it helps to prevent further inflows of particularly high deposits that cost us money,” wrote Manfred Knof, head of the bank’s German private customer business, to his employees. This applies “especially in the event that other banks further adjust their conditions and their customers are looking for an alternative for their deposits with us”.

So far, Deutsche Bank has only charged large corporate clients and very wealthy private clients negative interest on large deposits. The new regulation for high private customer deposits of more than 100,000 euros applies “exclusively for new contracts” in the private customer business. “Existing account contracts are not affected,” said a spokesman for the bank. Customers with lower deposits were also spared. “In the broad customer business with relatively low deposits, Deutsche Bank does not pass on custody fees for deposits to customers.”

Japan has been doing that for a decade. But US has never gone negative

LOL. No, I did not buy and I don't share my trades.

ARB has 290+ million shares.
ARB has err.. 790+ million shares. (do check the actual total)

Now the problem is created when ARB PA shares can be converted 1 for 1 with a conversion price. Hence, as per market terminology, it is in the money, where you can buy the PA shares converts the PA into ordinary share by paying 20 sen. Hence you will get people buying the PA shares, convert then sell. (you can see announcements on tons of PA shares being converted on Bursa announcements)

For a slightly longer time frame trader this creates a selling pressure on the stock.  Whatever potential the stock has it will be limited by the conversion/selling of the stock.

Now when you add on both ARB and its PA shares, this is a fairly large penny stock with 1 billion shares. And when you factor in the diluted eps caused by the PA share, ARB eps is really diluted...

... and yeah.. it's a silly stock with the preference share LARGER than the ordinary share...

KLCCP Stapled Group has reported a 3.85% decline in net profit to RM176.88 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 (1QFY20), from RM183.96 million a year earlier, due to the negative impact in its hotel segment.

On prospects, the group expects the performance of the office segment to remain stable backed by the triple net lease agreements and long-term leases.

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the group anticipates that the hotel segment will be adversely affected for the rest of the year.

For the retail segment, KLCCP Stapled Group remains cautious as Suria continues to operate in a challenging environment, taking into consideration the potential changes in consumer behaviour and sentiments upon the MCO being lifted.

“We are likely to continue to feel the impact of Covid-19 for several months to come as the consumer sentiment is expected to remain cautious across all business segments,” said KLCC Property Holdings Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Hashim Wahir.

Yeah, I did see the fund buying although  this does not guarantee that price will rise. 1 good example is media prima where for a long time there was foreign buying but price kept dropping.

Yea but the conversion of the preference shares outweighs. With the preference shares grossly outnumbering the ordinary shares and the constant conversions prior Feb was so intense... see below

Such plays but traders like us at a great disadvantage. It is a clear avoid at all means for me.
