declare two times div 2.35 & 1.11 this QR, next Q can expect another div of 2c+?

last two quarters Q1 & Q2 '24, DPS 1.93c > EPS 1.5c, this is not Sustainable ?
- estimate FY24 => EPS 3c, 90% => DPS 2.7c, at price 0.485, DY at 5.5% only

Tan family non-stop buying, going to privatise the company?

refer to iCAP latest div policy, if price & NAV stay at current level 2.54 & 3.40
means div = 1% of 2.54 + 8% of 0.86 (3.40 - 2.54) = 0.1028 or DY 4.05%, correct ?
means if buy now at 2.54 (with NAV maintain), investor can keep getting 10.28sens div while waiting for potential capital gain when the price catch up the NAV?
what's the catch?

Useful insight & sharing from Observatory DividendGuy67.
despite the growing huge cash pile, > 60% div payout from earnings is quite reasonable, can't really accuse the company for not sharing the profit.
my gut feeling is, nothing going to change (on cash pile) as long Quek is around. anyway the old man is 82, if we can hold the stock long enough; the hope is eventually someone with different mind will emerge to do something that could uplift the stock valuation & price.

interest rate hike, property sales under more pressure. DRP price no discount to current price at 1.63.
might as well take the cash and look for better bargain. e.g. Maybank, also high div & will benefit from interest rate hike.

how much is Busa cash level ? if can sustain the 41c dividend payment for 1~2 years, then can collect div while wait for market recovery market

Oh ya, thanks reminder. Dlady is a good case study. Once cash depleted & can't see the growth prospect .... ppl dump the stock like no tmrw

@PuppyKitten thanks sharing. Chairman got character ya Hhh. But they did increase the payout to 115%~130% next 3 years! I think you are right, likely declare dividend to channel cash back to parent company. Many Japanese & Taiwanese companies seems doing so also.
Another factor is EPF a major shareholder, will want them to declare high dividend to pay us interest also : )

Historically, seems everytime when they declare special dividend then the stock price will rise back.

@PuppyKitten thanks sharing. Can you please comment on below,
as per Sep'19 QR, the company has net cash of 549mil or RM9 per share!
hence the dividend payout > EPS, maybe simply bcoz the company got too much cash?
also, if take RM31 - RM9 = RM22, then the PE is only 13x ?

order shift to Magni, or Nike will cut orders since half the outlets in China is closed now?!

PublicInvest Research:
Johore Tin (Outperform, TP: RM1.84): To buy 29 acre land in Kapar for RM44m. Johore Tin said its wholly-owned unit Able Dairies SB has proposed to acquire a piece of land measuring 29.03 acres in Kapar, Perak for RM44.26m from Golden Valley Industries SB. (The Edge). Comments: We believe the purchase price for the proposed freehold land is fair at RM35 psf. While the intention of the deal is yet to be known, we do not think it will be used for capacity expansion in the near term, given the recent expansion at its current facility in Telok Panglima Garang. Johore Tin was in a net cash position of RM37.7m as at 31 Dec 2018. Hence, we believe the acquisition will be funded via a mix of internally generated fund and bank borrowing.
