EST this yrs 0.64 from some website.

Yes expecting to 6.50. Hold your bullets.

and enter gloves?
hmm, even the dip in march, maybank steady only

share price will drop after EX date leh.

It is normal trend for div stock.

You can check back the history.

Previous ex div 9th apr. The range drop is alot given daily Maybank stock is quite stable.

Let say you brought at 7.2 but only manage to sell at 7.7 after bound back from 7.9 (ex div). All base on previous ex div chart.

Final div is 0.39

Profit share + div = RM890. If you buy 1k share la. Not bad in MCO time. 

  sure la aboh where the money from dividend come from?

I m stupid if still stand at 8.3 when it dip to 7,  52week low.

Make it more fair to pickup at 7.2, average down it. Sailang la. Wait for what. 

When a stock gives out dividend, the share price is adjusted lower to reflect the dividend paid.

So if it gives out 20 sen dividend, after the stock goes ex dividend, the share price is adjusted 20 sen lower.

Err... you looking at hindsight already lo.... yes?

Ok, that was the past...
now it's 7.50.

7500 a pop of 1,000 shares ....

(is our experiment based on unlimited profit meh?  )

okay say first ...

IF .... maybank report for the coming quarter is poor ... and Maybank falls .... err.... touch wood first la.... dowan to simply jinx any1 ....

1. please state how many times one can average down.
2. but for simplicity sake... just post here and say average down...
3. how long after ex to 'sell' ? ( by one week? )
ok bo?

more buyers than sellers.
I guess not many sellers willing to sell at a loss.

dunno man but today I bought another 1k share

I know it drop la.

Already show in here --> https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=97718875

Look for good time sell la. Or stay. Must die die sell at drop time meh.

be wary of dividend trap...

i believe most of the stocks here have negative annualized return @_@

Hi, what I mean is, these "high dividend yield" stocks usually promise a good % of yield every year, but their capital value are probably dropping year-on-year if their growth is not sustainable (note that, a higher dividend payout would mean lesser reinvestment into the company for business expansion and growth).

So, Net Annualized return for you and me as an investor (i.e. your Return on Investment), is

Net annualized return = Dividend Yield + Capital gain/losses

In this context, I believe the capital losses of the companies in the list outshadows the dividend yield, which is why 1 of the forumer here mentioned: beware of "dividend trap".

Lets take BAT(4162) for example, over the course of 1 year, their share price slide from RM 22.50/share to RM10.40/share.

in terms of capital loss, thats about -53% in terms of capital value lost.

If my memory serves me, they have been pretty consistent in providing high dividend yield to their shareholders (around 9-10%++?).

So the annualized net return in this case, should you have invested in BAT 1 year ago from today, is approx. -40% ish.

Of course, taking BAT as an extreme example wouldn't be fair for other dividend stocks (there are good dividend stocks with sustainable growth), but this is just to illustrate what i've meant.

I hope this clarifies.

Cheers

Maybank, RHB likely Genting HK’s largest lenders in Malaysia

Source: TheEdge

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 20): Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) and RHB Bank Bhd are believed to be Genting Hong Kong Ltd’s two largest lenders in Malaysia.

According to Bloomberg data, Maybank has US$350 million loan exposure to the Hong Kong-based cruise operator, which on Wednesday (Aug 19) announced that it has to suspend payments to all creditors to preserve as much cash as possible to sustain its operation.

The total loan exposure of US$350 million, or RM1.45 billion, consists of US$250 million unsecured loans. Analysts estimate the exposure to be about 26 to 29 basis points (bps) of Maybank’s gross loans.

At RHB, the banking group’s loan exposure to GENT HK is US$100 million, Bloomberg data shows. This is estimated to be equivalent to about 22 to 25 bps of the group’s gross loan portfolio.

Analysts opine that loan loss provision is inevitable for the two banking groups in view that GENT HK is currently in the rough waters as the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on the cruise industry.

Some of them said lenders may have to take a haircut under such circumstances. Another alternative that is usually explored for debt restructuring exercises, which involve borrowers that are cash-strapped, is converting debts into equities for instance in the form of irredeemable convertible loan stocks or irredeemable convertible preference shares.

Asia’s largest cruise operator announced to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Wednesday night that it is engaging with its creditors to restructure the debts while it temporarily suspends all payments to its financial creditors in order to preserve as much liquidity as possible.

“The company’s remaining available cash will be reserved to maintain critical services for the group’s operations,” said Gent HK in the announcement. “While the company will endeavor to negotiate a holistic debt restructuring solution for the current financial indebtedness of the group and continue to engage with interested parties identified by the funding advisors.”

GENT HK’s share price plunged 37% to an all-time low of HK$0.30 on Thursday after the announcement.

The group’s long-term borrowings amounted to US$2.523 billion compared with its cash balance of US$595.12 million as at Dec 31, 2019, according to its annual report 2019.
