blessing!

that's all fine and dandy! now pls announce the suitor for aac.

icon,keep up the good work!

yep, china built the world's most powerful supercomputer. i guess china must have "stolen" the technology from God himself!

China "steals" because it can! and don't forget almost all capable countries practice industrial espionage to a certain extend.

nobody can affort to buy super expensive "Made In USA" products! so how is america going to be great again under trump?

let the economy collapse! i like to see the end of it. hehe.

shale oil alone will kill oil price. the writing has been on the wall for awhile now.

KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Equities Research has added Sime Darby, Maybank, YTL Corp and IJM Corp, Genting Malaysia to its top big cap picks, replacing Heineken (M), Mah Sing, UOA Development and DRB Hicom.

In its strategy report issued on Friday, it said the selected stocks were AirAsia Bhd, Gamuda, Genting Malaysia, Genting Plantations, IJM Corp, Malayan Banking, RHB Bank, Sime Darby, Tenaga Nasional Bhd and YTL Power.

Below are highlights of its report:

AirAsia

We expect AirAsia to sell an 80% stake in its leasing arm, AAC, and use the proceeds to pay a special dividend of more than RM1/share. The sale is expected to be completed by 2Q17. While the competitive environment has become tougher, and the ringgit is weak, we expect the special dividend to help re-rate the stock.

blah,blah,blah!

blah,blah,blah!

i hope they announce the suitor for aac in the next few days.

i like the tp.

price will really take off when the aac (the other uncertainty) is done and sealed!

bnm approval got rid of 1 uncertainty and that's probably why market responded positively.

let it drops!

good indeed!

calvin, finally got one right out of so many failures and that's why so happy? Congrat!

cruger, you're very good with numbers and detail oriented. you always drill down the big picture. thank you.

peg the damn thing.

please cruger12345, don't stoop to his (bwc) low!

if tony were to answers all the articles (good and bad) out there abt airasia then he wouldn't have the time to manage the company!

thank you icon8888 for the analysis. good indeed!

some of you just cannot see the forest for the trees. listen, there is no accounting gimmicks/shenanigans in aa's books.

"CIMB Equities Research analyst Raymond Yap in a note expects a minimum of 80% equity in AAC to be sold, and the ENTIRE PROCEEDS be declared as special dividend."

"Next year’s theme for AirAsia is simply unlocking value."

"AirAsia plans to create joint ventures for its ground handling and cargo operations and has already received interest from prospective partners."

"It has 70% of its jet fuel hedged in the Q4’16 at US$59 per barrel and 74% in 2017 at US$60 per barrel."

"AirAsia’s third quarter results ending Sept 30 have been descibed by CIMB’s Yap as an “extraordinary set of numbers.’’ "


i like all the above!!!

tf has said aac is a non-core asset. so i agree with the disposal.

tf is our great helmsman, have faith in him to bring glory (and higher price) to aa.

let's hope airasia can keep a minority stake in aac after sale.

all good points. well said.

nonsense analysis and always try to be the first one to post it! shame on public bank.

old habits die hard!

the sun is out and it's a beautiful friday morning.

bwc, we don't need your useless prognosis!

where's the "terrible" and where's the "panic"? only 9 mil. shares!

earnings are certainly very important. but an announcement on the sale of aac will give an immediate boost to the share price - imo.

how can one tells if foreigh funds are selling?

yes!!!

it will be good to see aa closes green today!

you got to see the big picture.

the oracle of omaha (w.buffett) is a genius! he will lead you to the promised land! he invests in airline stocks and so should you!

that's right. it's that big picture again!

Quote: "OPEC released its World Oil Outlook which showed the "call on OPEC oil" to be 33.0 million barrels per day in 2017. It also used $45 as its "assumption" for its OPEC Reference Basket (ORB) for 2017. It assumes prices will rise by $5 per year and so it takes until 2020 before crude gets to $60/b."

good earnings report + positive aac news = ?

big boys always know where the bottom is.

announcement from tf coming!

move to another business-friendly country or buy senai airport.

sure govt dislikes airasia. it has to protect the dysfunctioning MAS from competition!

the Monetary Authority of Singapore is also willing to intervene if its currency fluctuates too much. Interesting.

najib may ask china to buy the ringgit in order to prop up the currency! better still peg the ringgit to usd.

let us all hope so! thx.
