Dividend payment is one off; share price may drop after priced in or ex-dividend. topg, supermax, etc should use extraordinary profit for investment in other industry for long term growth.

That would depends on the top management. there are many plc e.g aagb badly affected by the pandemic which topg could pick up for a quarterly profit and these companies could generate income after pandemic and glove elevated asp has ended.

glove demand after pandemic ends may be higher than pre-pandemic level but price could be lower like face mask.

with appropriate package, top management could be head hunted. buying into existing business with existing management is lower risks than start up.

How did you rate Supermax and its 100 million investment into the contact lens business then?

Well... I have 2 problems with it la.

1. Biggest one is ... all we ever hear is the contact lens business is expanding here and there... but till this very day, I've yet to see any P&L for that 100 million spent.

2. And the business was setup and managed by his daughter, who had just graduated. Yeah... father business what... but then... last I remember, this is a plc.

Sadly... shareholder activisms is so pathetic .... no one complained. No one bothers that there is no segmental p&l spent on the contact lens business....
P/S.... just my usual grumbly self.... 

... and just in case... I lupa.... have a good holiday and if you are celebrating.... yummm sing 

You remember this.

indeed. we could revisit here after pandemic has ended and review topg business.

Time will tell and won't need to wait long.

Most retailers have no idea they were syndicate's prey.
