“TheContrarian > The people here doesn't know that Fintech owns 20.68% in Netx which in turn owns 15.75% in Mlab?”

Hi Newbies/ whistlebower99/ TheContrarian, Fintec is part of a very big ‘spider web’ as illustrated in https://thecorporatessecrets.com/blog/2024/07/02/brahims-bangkit-kembali-dari-pn17-saham-dimanipulasi-mafia-korporat-dinyah-senarai-bursa-dan-kontrak-25-tahun-ditamat-mag/

Is this article pros or cons on Fintec?

Fintec answered Bursa UMA back in April 2021, Link: https://www.klsescreener.com/v2/announcements/view/3347657
Why until to-date, still the question of ‘con's (PP, ESOS, RI) arose as all the warrants expired except ICPS? Fintec still holding the aforementioned shares..potential gaining from ‘bull's market now. Come 2027 when the ICPS matures, Fintec Capital will increase by 6.9mil x (8sen x 30). So why the question of dilution when Fintec NTA is well below RM2.4? This is a certainty; if don't believe it, can refer to NovaMSC increase in Capital due to massive ICPS conversion..
I am interested in the F&B businesses in Fintec; not Netx or Mlab. I am Not interested in Fintec warrants (which all expired before the consolidation exercise). I am also Not interested in ‘Expect NOSH to increase’ as it is Not certain. Will wait for my investment in ICPS; will see how the ‘latent’ $ upon maturity effect/affect NTA and the market price!! Hope I am Not wrong, time will tell, as always Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk.

Hi Newbies, please keep up to date on latest announcement:-
“On behalf of the Board, TA Securities wishes to announce that pursuant to Paragraph 6.62(2) of the Listing Requirements, the approval of Bursa Securities for the implementation of the Proposed Internal Reorganisation has lapsed on 11 July 2024 and additionally, the Extended Conditional Period has lapsed on the same date.” meaning no more ESOS/10% dilution for the short term.
Link: https://www.klsescreener.com/v2/announcements/view/7365885

“..the Board has prioritised its resources to regularise the financial condition of the Company and will consider implementing the Proposals as part of its regularisation plan for the PN17 status in the future.” meaning Not at the moment but consider one of the option.

As stated in one of the announcements, “Pursuant to the above, the Company wishes to highlight that there are no material adverse findings on the concerns raised by Company’s external auditors. The Company will work closely with the potential auditor to address the above in the audited financial statements of Ageson for the financial period ended 30 June 2024.” meaning patiencely has to wait for financial period ended 30 June 2024. If there are reversal of impairment, what will be the NTA and EPS? It is a calculated risk to be “TradeAtYourOwnRisk” and Happy Trading..
So do not Read Old News when new announcements available; do Not just report ESOS/Proposal and forget about Lapse of approval of the said ESOS/Proposal…
Note: I have recovered my loses in my Ageson by selling my Ageson-PA; I am holding the remainder cost free waiting for the financial period ended 30 June 2024.

“whistlebower99 > "Bear in mind at the time of FREE Warrant, NetX EPS is Negative..focusing on making the EPS turn positive…free gift appear out of thin air ???..Judge for yourself to see who will benefit the most, from the free warrants.”

For EPS to turn Negative to Positive in a Financial Year (FY) is very easy; Insas is doing it yearly by selling the Golden Goose Inari…all calculated by selling how much to make how much profit. For all these so-called ‘con’ counters, it is not so lucky as Insas, no Golden Goose to sell. Some counters sell land in a foreign land and some sell priced properties just to make EPS turn positive..
For BI of FREE warrants, please read my example in Gocean post, JAG BI of FREE warrants if bought at highest just to get the FREE gift paying a hefty price..
For the answer on who benefits most, your guess is as good as mine? Example in JAG; the one sold at MYR0.4 and bought back at MYR0.25? Not me, I don't have any to sell at MYR0.4, bought at MYR0.25 and hopefully can get some good return in less than a year. The morale is to buy Low (bought majority of my ICPS at almost FREE of lowest MYR0.005 price, and wait for auto-convert if not able to make any gain) and sell High; not buy High just to get the BI of FREE warrants..as always Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk

“whistlebower99 > Free warrants sound so good coz it is FREE..free air and water from Nature…If free warrants are converted into shares, retailers will have their small equity % further diluted. Same goes to the EPS if any”

Good narrative. Posting at i3 is also FREE. What is this BI of FREE warrants ‘if’ converted?
Unlike PP and RI which pay first, BI is paid later ‘if’ the ‘conditions’ are met..nothing to lose.
Recent JAG BI of FREE warrants is a very good example of what happens to these FREE warrants; it is not FREE at all.
The highest price of JAG is around MYR0.4 (graphically BI adjusted 0.335) before BI drops to MYR0.28. The price dropped further to lowest MYR0.245 after the ex price.
Details from Link: https://www.klsescreener.com/detail.php?code=0024
As shown, the FREE warrants are actually not FREE for those holding at the highest price (actually there are two BI, 1 for 5 and 3 for 5).
I managed to buy some ex BI at MYR0.25; wish me luck..as always Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk.

Newbies, the share Consolidation in Oct 2023 from 1sen x 10 adjusted to 10sen, now traded at 18sen, a gain of 80%. The trend now is not PP, ESOS, RI etc, it is BI of FREE warrants.
Example: NETX - Notice of Bonus Entitlement

Note: I don't hold any Gocean share, only holding millions of Focus-PA in which mother Focus D is a majority Shareholder of Gocean. My FREE info is to highlight the 80% of Focus D gaining financially from this consolidation exercise. @whistlebower99 could be correct in his/her FREE sharing as previously, the trend of PP, ESOS, RI etc with close to 10% discounted price are very disadvantageous to existing shareholders. How about this New trend of BI with FREE warrants? The answer is in the AIR, my friend, as always Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk.

“speakup > lately notice MCA has become DAP 2.0, while DAP has become MCA 2.0”

I seldom discuss politics in i3 as it is more as an investment forum… Logically, is MCA 2.0 inclined to DAP 1.0? If “DAP has become MCA 2.0”, will it be the same as DAP 1.0; no change..actually be MCA 1.0?

Logic aside, I have had very good experience with MCA Education arm, TAR college (UTAR and the spinoff now) many years back. One of my relatives obtained 11As in her SPM; searching for a good college to further her study. I helped her to do research after she consulted me. We went to PJ, Nilai, Setapak and Sungai Long to view some of the college's facilities and the Education cost. At PJ, 2 colleges are willing to give full waiver of Education fees for the first year depending on semester result. The one at Sunway willing to give only 75% as the result not All A1. The one at Setapak/Sungai Long (TAR/UTAR) willing to give 100% and explained can assist in applying PTPTN loan; will get full waiver if she can get First Class Honour in her further tertiary study. To cut the narrative short, she took up the offer, finished her studies without paying a single sen..

"necessity > i dont know if anything to do with DC sns.."

All the big Hardware/Software companies invest in DC because internet latency/speed is not a problem with growing 5G capability. Imagine your Big Server (DC) can replace ALL the servers in thousands of premises all over the World using your Hardware/Software? As reported in News, one of these Big Servers is using 'SNS Super Servers'?? It is All boils down to 'Solution'; meeting clients' requirements. No one 'Solution' solves All; therefore everybody will have a piece of this 'Big Cake' eventually..not my opinion, after getting info from my IT friend (already back in US after his holiday here).

“Albukhary > This company better than SNS…”
“ChloeTai
SNS will be supplying Super Servers to Data Centres.”

Haha, just like body parts talking to each other, the Heart says to the Brain, without me pumping blood to you, you cannot think. The Brain retorts back, without my instruction, you won't pump..
Similarly, Hardware needs Software to Operate. SNS not just supplied, needs a long term maintenance contract. NovaMSC also can provide Training and Support long term contracts for DC to operate. Who is paying? Answer: The trend (according to my IT friend, he has been supporting this in the US for years) is having servers in DC and no more in their own premises. It is more secure, cost effective and not carrying obsolete hardware/software..Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk

“Sslee > Cash flow from financial activities:
Borrowing mean cash inflow from new borrowing for the year..My point is despite new borrowing..”

Agreed on all except on new borrowing. Please refer to CAB Q12024 report, Link: https://www.klsescreener.com/v2/financial-reports/view/732113
item 20, short term borrowing of only 518.8mil from 579.2mil, a reduction of around 61mil (no new borrowing).
The long term borrowing increase is due to foreign exchange in USD from 2,056.5mil to 2,338.4mil, a loss of almost 282mil. Because of this exchange losses, the 1QR24 EBITDA of over 1B and operating profit of over 304.87mil; ended with a net loss of 244.279mil.
Conclusion: IMHO, It is very hard for CAB to turnover with massive borrowing and leasing in USD if the USD maintains at present level..

"Sslee > Question:External Auditor, from Sales in advance: RM2,025,298,000,Proceeds from borrowings: RM1,273,030,000 yet the Group only managed payment of lease liabilities: RM2,045,816,000 which is far off the amount of current lease liabilities reported at FYE 2022 RM4,340,844,000. What happens to the unpaid FYE 2022 current lease liabilities?.."

Good observation. I am neutral on Capital A (AirAsia) and also "半桶水" (half pail of water) on accounting, trying to learn from any companies annual financial reports.
From your Question, I also have further questionable (unnecessary to be answered) on Sales in Advance vs Borrowings vs Lease Liabilities definition; are all these 3 on the same level comparison?
'1. Recently, Capital A (AirAsia) promoted a 1 year Asean travel 'Sales in Advance', how is this shown in Accounting double entry liabilities?
'2. Sales in Advance, excluding item 1 above, how much collected for what duration? I think the most is only for a 3 month period taking my recent 2 package tours traveling on AA flights.
How to compare if Lease Liabilities are for numerous years?
'3. Can "payment of lease liabilities: RM2,045,816,000" be compared with "Sales in advance: RM2,025,298,000" considering items 1 and 2 above? I think "Sales in advance: RM2,025,298,000" should be minus the "1 year promotion sales", then multiplied by 4 for a full year. What do you think? Just a tickle, and practice my brain for anti old age. Have a nice weekend and Monday holiday in boleh Land..

Warrant D like previous ones will likely end up valueless on expiry date when share price drop to below exercise price of 0.10..”

Many Thanks for the FREE service for highlighting the Bonus Issue of FREE Warrant.

Since it is for Newbies, they might not understand all this complicated jargon of BI, EPS, Dilution, Free this Free that, etc..

I am a Newbies many moon back, maybe I can give some FREE info.

NetX Brief Business Details:

“NetX Holdings Bhd is principally involved in the investment holding, research and development of software, system design, integration and installation and provision of information technology services. The core business segments of the company comprise of the followings: Electronic Payment Services and Payment Services segment…”

How is Electronic Payment Services (EPS) and Data Center (DC) related?
In order to store Billions of Transaction and analysis of consumers spending, the perfect place is in DC..building DC is one off investment, users paying for the services is for the long term.

Now is the trend for DC and Software Solution, what are the chances for NetX to visit prices before consolidation??

Is it contradictory for ‘end up valueless’ and ‘warrant conversion, causing dilution to shareholding equity % and EPS’? Which is better?

If it ‘end up valueless’, at least get a chance to trade for something which is FREE. If ‘warrant conversion’, does it really ‘causing dilution to shareholding equity % and EPS’?
Bear in mind at the time of FREE Warrant, NetX EPS is Negative; therefore sharing rather than dilution. If ‘below exercise price of 0.10’; is it possible for any conversion or dilution?

Note: I don't hold any NetX share, only holding millions of Fintec-PA before consolidation in which mother Fintec is a majority Shareholder of NetX. My FREE info is to highlight the possible Fintec gaining financially from this FREE issuance. As there is a lot of ‘if’, @whistlebower99 could also be correct in his/her FREE sharing. As always Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk.

Coincidental, before finish typing, Fintec-PA moved above MYR0.15..next will move closer to mother price.

“KingDavid > Fintec-Pa - with 6,947,482 units, it is too little for someone to "goreng" to make money.”

I have a different opinion; Fintec-PA will leverage on Fintec share price, if ‘goreng’ on mother will have an effect on Fintec-PA, less supply might ‘goreng’ till create more demand if the mother runs faster..

On “@ID007> all conmen”, depend when you ‘plunge’ in…if before Covid19, surely feels throwing money in the big salty sea. When the ‘bulls’ chase the ‘bears’ away, will think otherwise if they make $ from low entry. I always believe the four quadrant theory; [The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses/Areas for improvement, Opportunities, Threats) analysis often is used in strategic planning. The analysis focuses on the four elements included in the acronym, allowing organizations to identify the forces influencing a strategy, action, or initiative], especially on Opportunities..
The Covid19 Threats already passed and buying at the Weaknesses of MYR0.005 (0.15 after Consolidation) will bring the Opportunities to make $ if the Strengths are still there. If not (money spent and holding stocks cut-loss), then really a ‘con stock'. I don't read any announcements selling of major holdings such as in Focus D, Netx, etc..as always Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk

Before the waterfall, theedge give a very good coverage with fundamental and a bit of warning, Link:

https://theedgemalaysia.com/article/cover-story-unfathomable-rise-fb-operator-focus-dynamics-become-rm4-billion-stock

To quote “when questioned by Bursa Malaysia on the meteoric rise of its share price via an unusual market activity query, Focus Dynamics said, “The group has been continuously on the lookout for opportunities to expand its core business in the F&B segment via mergers and acquisitions to enhance the group’s earnings and improve its financial performance.”
“In addition, the group is currently in an exploratory stage for a potential merger/acquisition exercise with another company that has a sizeable assets base.” i.e. Brahim’s? The Pump and Dump? by “largest shareholders is Credit Suisse Group AG, which had 9.95% equity interest as at Aug 18, according to exchange filings. Who Credit Suisse is holding these shares for is unknown” while “Focus Dynamics’ single largest shareholder as at June 1 was Asiabio Capital Sdn Bhd, which had a 25.05% stake. Asiabio is controlled by business incubator and strategy advisory Fintec Global Bhd.” increasing its stake during the waterfall..the rest is history.

Present: With Covid19 blow over, F&B recovery and this news on Brahim and completion of “Focus Dynamics has a 51% stake in Famous Ambience Sdn Bhd, the special purpose vehicle of The Arch, with construction company OCR Group Bhd’s Ong family holding the remaining equity interest. Launched in April 2017, The Arch was to be completed by end-2018.”, will the ‘Pump and Dump’ repeat?..your guess is as good as mine, Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk.

"messi > Blee, are you holding big chunk of Novamsc PA? What is your target price to sell"

As I mentioned in my Note, big chunk (bought few million between MYR0.005 and 0.01 over few years duration when seller bid available) in Ages-PA, Fintec-PA and Focus-PA; regret NOT of NovaMSC as it is selling at 8 sen then..thought it is on the high side. Now, Fintec-PA and NovaMSC have almost the same price, only Fintec-PA at consolidated price. Hope against hope, ICPS is a good investment instrument as shown in NovaMSC-PA price now. I can't answer the target price, which I don't predict as there is usually not enough AI data to predict; I don't want Garbage In Garbage Out (G.I.G.O.).. IMHO, businesses which support Data Center such as software solution providers and server maintenance will have a continuous income; will do well.

I have written my opinion on NOVAMSC-PA at date: 2021-03-08 20:11
“Below are examples of a few issues of this 1sen bargain.
NOVAMSC-PA at 8sen around 700% gain off this 1sen issuance.” beside others ICPS subscription of 1 sen. It seems NOVAMSC-PA is doing so well, will others follow??

Newbies, the Right Issue was in 2020, almost 4 years ago, we should not delve into such old history. Please look ahead if you are Newbies, watch out for a new break-out at a bargain after the waterfall..if Consolidation do happen, price will be adjusted inversely proportional as seen in recent Fintec adjustment from 0.005 to 0.15 and traded much higher. Iris is another good example, adjusted from 0.08 to 0.32 and traded above 0.40.

Yesterday's closing of 2 sen (vol 251,244 lots) is a breakout since the high volume of 435,323 lots traded on 13 June did not close above 2 sen and the total traded volume since then is less than that figures. It can be concluded that most of this volume is being pick-up.
Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk. This write-up is NOT a recommendation to buy, and since you are Newbies; you will not have big losses Holding or any available to sell??

From Glove to Data Center, what it takes..
As my working experience involves the full stages of Project Starting to Final hand over of any types of EPCIC contracts; roughly let me share the work flow.
‘- the client will perform Basic Design that involves rough costing, the capacity, market demand, market supply, location, etc..
‘- the details will involve more Professional in various Disciplines to perform Pre-Concept, Concept/Feasibility Studies before continuing to the first E, Engineering Studies.
‘- Sometime the P for Procurement will start for items that take more than 6 months to procure (for example machinery to make Glove or Drive use in a Data Center).
‘- Once Engineering is completed, bidding documents will be prepared to select the right contractors/supplier to start the first C Construction.
‘- The I is for Installation of Internal works including machinery and facilities.
‘- Then the final C Commissioning with all authority approval and everything running in order before hand over to client.

A most fast track project will take at least 2 years, with some projects can prolong to more than 5 years. We can see new Glove factories completed after the pandemic; the demand is NOT feasible for the constructed factories anymore. How about a Data Drive for a Data Center? Your guess is as good as mine..

The last Fintec-PA buying after Consolidation at 10 sen, made a gain of 60%, the seller bid at 37 sen will be much much higher..

“KingDavid >
My conclusion is to buy some more Fintec at current price and some Focus D @RM0.15 ( hopefully no consolidation).”

Focus D traded around RM0.01 and 0.015, and no issue on Consolidation as seen on Fintec Trading pattern after Consolidation…
I think Fintec- PA at 16 sen is a better bet as not many sellers are even higher after 16 sen. As for Focus D, no comments as it could take lots of patience to see any return…Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk

“KingDavid
BLee, I am also looking at FOCUS. What do you think of FOCUS? Someone is starting to buy @RM0.15”

Yes, recently big volume buying; but did not know about picking up. Seller hurdle also had quite a lot in the last 2 days…
Of the ‘Lien Hoe’ group, Focus D looks most promising as food business is one of life's necessities. How I wish food business will recover first since pandemic; but never thought ‘Data Centre’ become one of life ‘necessity’ doing so well!!
I did not buy any Focus D stock, not because it is not promising, it did not drop to my target price of half sen. On and off, I put in bids of half a sen for Focus-PA, and managed to get quite a lot. Anyway, Focus D at 1.5 sen is a bargain compared to Focus-PA at 0.5 sen as it needs 10 Focus-PA to convert to 1 Focus D. Focus-PA advantage is on Leverage; AGES-PA is a good example, my investment of half-sen traded around 4.5 to 5 sen now…

Musang King, where did you get only "7.2 millions" Fintec-PA available in the market?”

Let me answer this question, as I happen to be checking on Fintec due to being so active today, heading to 52 weeks high..
The details is at Link: https://www.klsescreener.com/v2/announcements/view/6927849

(iii) the existing number of 218,370,885 ICPS as at the Entitlement Date will be adjusted into 7,278,682 Consolidated ICPS (after disregarding the fractional entitlements arising from the Adjustments), which will be listed and quoted on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 9 May 2024, being the next market day following the Entitlement Date.

“snowball88 > Very simple, as in your..You have changed the parameters of my example... I already stated dividends issued first, then on 01 Jan 2024 executed a bonus issue. You changed it to bonus issue first, then dividends..”

LOL, I didn't change anything. It is convention to calculate ‘Trailing Twelve Month (TTM) Dividend’, cast in stone, Bonus issue or any corporate issues sandwiched between two Dividends declaration. The first one DID NOT include in the corporate changes consideration (different NOSH) DY calculation, the second declaration will be catered in the Trailing Twelve Months calculation (combined NOSH). The forward Dividend could be Zero, the DY then could be Zero; NOT 10% or 20%..

“snowball88 > Before we go further down the never-ending rabbit hole, can you clear this up for me first?..How did you get to the 20% DY??...can u specify the timeframe..”

Very simple, as in your example, we already have RM10k invested at RM1 having paid RM0.1 Dividend. Before the next Dividend announcement, the price dropped to RM0.5 due to Bonus issue 1:1. The Bonus issue is NOT entitled for the Dividend of RM0.1 paid; NOT entitled for DY (TTM) calculation the day after ex-bonus. As shown previously for RGT DY calculation from 2 different websites, there is disparity for DY calculated. I am just trying to figure out how this disparity will affect investment decisions vs FD rates..
To answer both your questions, DY was calculated initially at RM1 of 10% and this adjusted to 20% assuming price half ignoring ‘the fresh Bonus fund’. ‘The fresh Bonus fund’ will normalize upon the next Dividend entitlement (your correct calculation); therefore the timeframe is in between ex-bonus to the next Declare Dividend. Hope that answers your question.

“Value Investor Coo1eo >
can't believe people are still talking about this DY nonsense!”

Haha, talk about $ ma, how to beat bank interest rate and inflation..!!

“snowball88 > Yes bonus shares issued 01 Jan 2024, share price drop to RM0.5 after issue, Total dividends paid out for 01 Jan - 31 Dec 2024 is RM1000 (12 months profit of RM1000 distributed to 20000 shares), all clearly stated in my example…”

As mentioned earlier, you are absolutely correct for calculation after 31 Dec 2024. What data to use in between for DY (TTM) calculation?

Time is an essence for interest and DY calculation; therefore trailing twelve months (TTM) is needed for any comparison. In your example, the extra Bonus 10000 is not entitled for DY calculation until after the next Dividend declaration which in your example after 31 Dec 2024.
No offense intended and just an example; if you intend to have a baby tonight and do it, it is a miracle tonight you get the baby, you still need to wait 9 months later..same as $ put in Bank, you have to wait for maturity to calculate actual DY. Happy discussion.

“snowball88
Ahhh...now I understand where the confusion comes from....”

You are absolutely correct in an ideal calculation. Only problem is the RM0.05 DPS declared 12 months later; and the current calculation on corporate activity using past DPS figures. In your example given, the DY calculated after Bonus Ex will be RM0.1 divided by Rm0.5 equal to 20% (assume post Dividend payout recovered back to RM0.5). For someone looking up a few counters to compare DY %, it will be a misjudge. Therefore the “A trailing twelve month dividend yield, denoted as "TTM", includes all dividends paid during the past year in order to calculate the dividend yield” and any corporate exercise must be considered for the comparison…

“snowball88
@BLee,
Not sure I follow what you mean...but I kinda feel that your argument centres around changes to NOSH, so before we go further can you expand a bit on how NOSH affects the dividend yield calculation?”

Dividend Yield (DY) calculation depends on Dividend per share (DPS). If NOSH increased with the same quantum amount $ paid out as Dividend, the DPS will reduce in future Dividend payout. Therefore the highlighted previous statement ‘assuming the number of shares is constant’, implied NOSH is important in DY calculation.
During Bonus issue or Share Consolidation, the declared DPS for the last 12 months used in calculation did not take this increase or decrease NOSH into consideration. The share price will decrease for the Bonus issue, and will increase the DY value during ex. The opposite for Share Consolidation. This DY calculation will cause misleading info for comparison of counters DY vs Bank FD rates. To get a more accurate DY calculation, make sure no increase or decrease NOSH for the last 12 months as indicated above.

“snowball88
….Maybe you give an example to prove your assertion?”

It is a bit difficult to gather live data for DY value before and after any corporate Price/NOSH changes; but can try to illustrate by capturing some examples for the next few market days…
Example: RGT Berhad
Date: 16 June 2024
EPS: RM0.0028, DPS: RM0.018
Capital: 328mil, NOSH: 352mil, DY: 1.94
Source: klsescreener.com

If we look-up at another source: xxxxxwall.st/stocks/my/materials/klse-rgtbhd/rgt-berhad-shares/dividend (website Link deleted due to Fail to submit)

Date: 18 June 2024
Dividend per share: RM0.036, DY: 3.9
Earning per share: RM0.0029

Why the disparity? IMHO, different data has been used at different timing for the calculation. Below statement could be one of the reason:
“Trailing dividend yield gives the dividend percentage paid over a prior period, typically one year. A trailing twelve month dividend yield, denoted as "TTM", includes all dividends paid during the past year in order to calculate the dividend yield.”
Source: Wikipedia
As in the example given, RGT Consolidated 1:3 Ex on the 7 June 2024, the price adjusted from 0.305 to over 0.9.
I believed the DY value also adjusted (or will adjust later due to TTM) accordingly due to the price changes and DPS. If this DY used to compare with others counter DY for investment purposes, it can lead to misjudgement…
Next changes will happen on 25 June 2024, with a 1:5 bonus issue of warrants. I don't think the price will change much as the Adjustment of price will be very minimum for Warrant if any.
I am still learning and above write-up also for my own stocks selection criteria/caution; therefore Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk.

@BLee:
> When Dividend…1) In Malaysia, we are no longer taxed on the dividends we receive, which I consider a good thing. I prefer to have the money in my bank, instead of it being merely reflected as a paper gain in the company’s accounts.”

The purpose of investment in other instruments rather than keeping $ in bank is to beat bank interest rate and inflation rate; therefore the discussion on DY..points taken on items 2 and 3.

“snowball88
@BLee : just my humble opinion but I think you are also confusing bonus issues with DY. Share options, Bonus issues, Dividends...all these are just different instruments…”

Yes, it is just a different instrument; but NOSH is used in DY calculation. As mentioned earlier, it is just a barometer to compare companies given out Dividend; it is irrelevant for companies that don't. I have purposely changed the question to DY as I personally feel DY is good to compare with FD rate; but unlike to compare Dividend per Share of each stocks as it will be a different yardstick.
In the formula, NOSH changes can affect the DY value quite substantially vs earlier declared Dividend; therefore just to caution also to view any Bonus, Rights, PP and even ESOS issues to take DY as a comparison…just my thoughts.
Happy investing and for sharing purpose only.

“snowball88
Seriously though...is there such a thing as 'negative dividends'?????...share dilution, care to share your opinion on that?' ....”

Good question. Similarly, how about ‘positive Dividend’?
When Dividend goes ex, the share price drops by the same amount, is it positive or negative??
IMHO, it is just a ‘Zero's exercise, any profit made is declared as Dividend and given out to shareholders with $ deducted from cash flow ‘reserve’.
Dividend Yield (DY) is just a ‘barometer’ indicating Price vs Dividend i.e. fluctuation Price increase or decrease vs a declared fixed Dividend for the period.
For example, if a company gives out a 1 for 1 bonus issue, the share price will be adjusted by half, how will the DY ratio be at that particular moment??
From Wikipedia, “The dividend yield or dividend–price ratio of a share is the dividend per share divided by the price per share. It is also a company's total annual dividend payments divided by its market capitalization, assuming the number of shares is constant. It is often expressed as a percentage”, therefore DY calculation will be adjusted with respect to the right moment ‘the number of Shares is constant’ bear in mind the Shareholders holding shares also increased correspondingly…
So a dilution will be perceived as a ‘negative Dividend Yield’ ??

“laulau
Thanks for your additional positive inputs & concerns on Iris. We are only sharing knowledge & analysis at KLSE Forum for the benefit of current & future investors to make an informed decision since Iris Mgt has been strangely quiet on these?.”

Good write-up and recommendations..
‘- Just asking, the statement “retained earning of 610,759k was used to offset Accumulated losses (430,000k),”, is it contradictory as it can only have one in accounting as gaining or losing, not both??
‘- We cannot compare apple with orange as SKIN contract value is much much higher, so the statement “#Iris has good chance on winning the Niise Arbitration Award from Government of at least RM231.5 million or more?” cannot be compared.. and the termination, is it unilateral? Another point, Iris being sued by “Tec D is claiming for an outstanding sum of RM30,139,098.87 together with late payment interest of RM993,951.66 as at 7 November 2023 (“Outstanding Sum”) in relation to the supply of computer hardware and/or software and/or programs and/or services (“the Supplies”) for the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) project by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Malaysia (“NIISe Project”). The NIISe Project was awarded to IITS on 29 January 2021 and, subsequently, the contract for the NIISe Project was terminated by the Ministry of Home Affairs on 10 August 2023.”, therefore any arbitration gain will need to pay for any others owing??

Anyway, I will hold my Iris investment tightly as it is the pioneer for many World first and patent..

“KingDavid > If not mistaken, the cheaper option for ICPS is to pay RM0.9 cash to convert 1 ICPS to 1 Fintec share. But, you can buy 1 Fintec share @RM0.2 Who would buy ICPS???? please enlighten me !!!”

The cheaper option actually is :-
‘- Exercise Ratio of 11 Fintec-PA to Convert to 8 Fintec Share, and will auto-convert upon maturity.
Link: https://www.klsescreener.com/v2/announcements/view/6927849
This Ratio remains in the revised announcement.
‘- The out-of-money Cash option is not feasible as at least 1 Fintec-PA having ‘pre-paid’ value of 8 sen x 30 equals RM2.4 and 90 sen cash.. unless becomes in-money i.e. Fintec above 90 sen. (assume buying Fintec-PA at 0.005)

To make it simple, multiply the Fintec-PA price by 1.375, if below the Fintec price, then consider ‘in-money’. No need to wait for 90 sen.That is the wonder of ICPS investment instrument, InMyHumbleOpinion. Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk

“Loh Kok Wai W > This counter at still is ZERO....”

Yes, the Fintec ‘Rocket at ground ZERO’ launching pad, waiting for the next few days QR, hope against hope no misfiring… will this QR reporting Fair Value Gain/(Loss) on Investment Securities be positive?? Is already at rock bottom pre-consolidation, how low can it go lower post-consolidation? That's the risk with investment!!

“Mitchell79 > To add on, dtlp16, when companies issue free warrants to their investors, it offers several potential benefits:
- Leverage and Capital Gains:...within a specified timeframe. If the company's stock price rises above the exercise price,...
- Enhanced Returns: If the stock price increases,...
- Market Liquidity and Tradability:..if they choose not to exercise them, potentially at a profit if the warrant’s market price has increased.
-Speculative Opportunities:...if they correctly anticipate the movement of the underlying stock's price.
- Cost-Free Incentive:...”

Very good answer, but not really advantageous as ‘if’ is assumed, except the ‘Cost-Free Incentive’ to entice the subscription of Rights…

There are more to meet the eye, especially on gearing ratio and premium calculation. Please refer to the Link: https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/kcchongnz/2024-01-22-story-h-190294049-Insas_Warrants_WC_and_Its_Valuation_kcchongnz
for a better understanding…I am not promoting Insas-WC, only a good write-up on Warrant.

“dtlp16 > Hi, I'm new in all this share market stuffs. This may be a dumb question. What is the advantage of the free warrants?...”

A very good question, not many people understand, I am inclusive. The only advantage is “free”?
It is just like buying something and the free gift is the Company’s free issue warrant. The risk of conversion is “in-money i.e. mother shares higher value than conversion payment”, but can drop below after post conversion? Most Warrants expired valueless??

Alternative (promotion and sharing purpose; not meant to blow horn) is (I)rredeemable (C )onvertible (P)reference (S)hare which is auto convert upon maturity, like warrants can leverage with mother shares and some ICPS like FD, pay interest/Dividend.

I am very much in ICPS investment during the pandemic when some ICPS drop to the lowest of half sen. I think it is only a once in a lifetime opportunity. After holding for 3 to 4 years, early this year my investment went positive.
My investment in AGES-PA from half sen to four sen, an eight fold increase. I sold a quarter at 1 sen (100% profit) and another quarter at 1.5 sen (200% profit), the rest at free cost until the sky's the limit..
My investment in Fintec-PA started to be in a positive region and Focus-PA break-even..only problem is it is very difficult to buy at half sen as the buying queue is long. Please study both Warrant and Preference Share investment; and invest on your own risk. I have written a few articles during my ICPS investment Journey to ‘record’ the down and hopefully the up of a few hundreds or thousands % gain…as always Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk.

“pang72 > My search is global hdd is increasing via time..
If you don't believe, please Google yourself to search”

This question has been asked on Meta AI (oversea version), which I think has a more balanced answer.
Global HDD is increasing or decreasing via time?
The answer: “The total amount of global hard disk drive (HDD) storage capacity has been increasing over time, but the demand for HDDs has been decreasing in recent years due to the growing popularity of solid-state drives (SSDs) and cloud storage.

According to a report by Statista, the global HDD capacity shipped per quarter increased from 142 exabytes in the first quarter of 2010 to 342 exabytes in the fourth quarter of 2020. However, the demand for HDDs has been declining since 2020, with a forecasted decrease in shipments from 2022 to 2027.

This trend is driven by the growing adoption of SSDs, which offer faster performance, lower power consumption, and higher reliability. Additionally, the increasing use of cloud storage and streaming services has reduced the need for local storage, contributing to the decline in HDD demand.”

The gist of the answer is “capacity per HDD increases, but quantity reduces”.

Furthermore, I have asked an overseas practicing IT Technical Sales Engineer, he opined there are advantages and disadvantages that we cannot ignore. We can Google/AI search on this topic; will it be a balanced view? The practicality is more important i.e. for fixed usage (Desktop and Data Center) preferred HHD, the hybrid version due to 5G speed and SSD/NVMe for mobile usage due to drop proof. Cost for both items is getting closer; so technicality/advancement still wins. He thinks the old version of the HDD will be dumped at the ‘Dumber Data Center!!’ I think it makes sense…Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk

“UncleFollower >

Insas closed down -RM0.04 per share 🤣🤣🤣”

A good one, the only problem is “see no touch”. Can Insas really be able to sell 527mil Inari at further gain of RM110mil? As seen in recent QR, what businesses are profitable?

On page 12 of IB Q324, item A9:
Profit/(Loss) for the financial period Technology and IT of 67,858k vs Consolidated Total of 58,592k, meaning most of the rest combined are negative.

“KingDavid > BLee, psychologically it has a advantage for speculators to collect more from those who are willing to sell in between 1 cent and 1.5 cent before…”
Agreed. Previous high volume sell bids, let's say 30 million shares bid to sell at 1 sen, now can Q sell tickets of 30 ticks of 1 million..more marketable for both buyers and sellers. I think that's what you mean ‘before they are willing to move up further.’

“KingDavid > After consolidation, the NOSH is 198 million. The main intention could also be speculation.”

Yes, so many ‘gap’ to speculate after Consolidation…up from 0.15 to 0.30 and downward 0.145 to 0.005; comparing previously 0.005 to 0.01. Is it a Pros or Cons (the true sense)? Consolidation, is it good or bad? $ sense, the same as no $ in-out.
Can someone suggest the disadvantages (Cons in the true sense) and the effect of having less shares? Bear in mind the reduction of holdings is inversely proportional to share price and NTA/share…

Let's look deeper on the few QRs, the answer is how Fintec market prices fluctuate up to 10 sen and then come down to 0.5 sen.
It all started from QR 2020-06 to 2021-06, profit for the first two QR of 151.009M and 720.503M, and the next three QR of -61.619M, -143.778M and -980.166M respectively. NTA from a high of 0.9176 to 0.0733. The fluctuation is because of Focus D investment, with one foreign investor pulling out… The rest is all history.
The question is why not sell when there is so much profit. The answer is in the reply to UMA query i.e. ‘BLee: Fintec already answer to Bursa query dated 23 April 2021, the link: https://www.klsescreener.com/v2/announcements/view/3347657

FINTEC only owns stakes in these companies which does not entitle FINTEC to exercise control over the management and affairs of these companies.’

Please also understand, $ paid buying shares from the open market did not go into the company account, gaining or losing has nothing to do with the company…it should be the fundamental which can affect the share Prices, only the speculator ‘goreng’ fluctuated the share prices.
