so how do u think about this announcement?... is the declared dividend good? average? or below expectation? any chance that the stock price will rise because of this news?

this dividend is indeed crucial for airasia as they need to show the world that they are still a profitable airliner...

do you think it can go higher than 3... at least by the end of this year?
