Current assets is extremely high but unknown of its quality. Risk on major impairment unless transparency in disclosure where the current authority and professional body are silent on it. London bis written off 300m once under receivership yet see no action taken. Anyway, that is so call market risk in the bigger casino.
Dutaland have been lying in a low price range for a long time mainly because of the management hoarding on to the cash pile and doing nothing for the past few years. in retrospect because of the pandemic, credit have to be given to them for being prudent for the past few years. Both Olympia ( JV partner & sister co ) and Dutaland are seeing some activities lately, there could be a good time for the management to finally kick start the Kenny Height project in this period of economic recovery. If the co do kickstart the project and start making money, it is not surprise to see it goes back to the NTA level. For the smaller cap Olympia, it may even easily reach 0.30.
Holding so much cash . Only pay 1 sen dividend for last and this year. Yet another classic example of how controlling shareholder take minority shareholders for granted.
Paying 1 sen dividend despite company hoarding so much cash is like insulting the other shareholders who have suffered so much for him over the years. The Yap fellow is indeed heartless!
Even Icap never pay 0.1 sen to 0.5 sen dividend loh!

Paying $0.01 when cash per share is $0.60? The Yap fellow is too cunning and ungrateful to the minorities who have suffered huge capital loss for years . Of course he will keep it minimum to keep share price as low as possible for buybacks and eventual cheap privatisation! Ruthless!
Agreed. It’s a matter of when Duta Yap is going to take it private. It may be sooner than later amid extremely poor market sentiment which may make thing easier for him .
For many years the ROE of this company was hovering around the zero. From a fundamental perspective why would you want to invest when you have better Bursa plantation companies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KhboTCMdEg
