dear supporter of reit, i am gathering your opinion on BSDreit before consider of buying. Sifu Cherroy has given his sight on this counter. what about your take..?
Hi Sifu Cherroy,
i know you're specialised in reit counter and i always follow your thoughts in the LYN's stock market forum. i am impressed with your strategy, views and rich in experience.
i have been aiming to buy bsdreit since last two months hoping for dividend income. during the first half the counter declared 3.69 dividend which i notice is just a small percentage of its total full year income. based on last year record, they declared a higher dividend when it come to final distribution. Below are some data which might be useful:
last 9 months eps: 10.50 cents
last div. paid so far: 3.69 cents
balance: 10.50 - 3.69 = 6.81 cents
assume 4th quarter eps is 3.2 cents, so total eps available for distribution will be 10.01 cents. let say final div. is 90% of 10.01 cents equal to 9 cents.
based on current price RM1.04 (22 Jan 09, 12.00pm), ROI is 8.65%. that is pretty good yield if i were to buy at current price.
What is your opinion sifu..is it a good buy..or probably i miss some other important information which may not favour my prediction?
I really appreciate your thought before miss this opportunity....
"Cherroy's reply......."
BSDreit just issued new share of 85 millions recently, so some dilution will occur.
Also it is trading at or near its NAV price, while most reit are trading at 20~30% discount to its NAV price, so some may be price-into the reit price which you see some good support on its share price.
The distribution will 'ex-out' the share price, so after distribution, it might trade at the region on 0.90-1.00. So short term you earn nothing out of it.
But for long term, with FD rate is at low point, (as long as they can secure long term tenants), reit might be good alternative to FD. --end
though the dividend declared lower than expected due to earning dilution, i am happy earning 7.34 cents per share translating to 6.9% immediate yield.
thanks cherroy..you really make me fall in love with reit counter...
