Trading buy call 3.70. special dividend is right on the track. Buy now when the price is still low.

Too bad. No wonder heads have started to roll in LTAT.

Best case scenario is if they get swallowed up by a bigger bank.

Posted by thenextwave > 2018-09-09 17:56 | Report Abuse

epf continue buying
i think something is brewing on this counter.
Tun Daim have made recommendation to Tun M on the future of LTAT.
Probably LTAT will privatise Affin since the current price is way below its NTA of 4.30

Posted by TheContrarian > 2018-09-09 18:33 | Report Abuse

You cannot privatise a bank.

Posted by thenextwave > 2018-09-09 18:42 | Report Abuse

if not privatise, then merrger.

Posted by zero > 2018-09-10 15:13 | Report Abuse

Tun Daim has always pushed for banking consolidation - that is clearly the way forward; we have too many banks. We just need around 6 big, regionally competitive banks, well capitalised, each with their own niche, not the motley crew right now.

Posted by TheContrarian > 2018-09-10 15:26 | Report Abuse

Affin might be swallowed by Maybank.

Posted by TheContrarian > 2018-09-10 15:28 | Report Abuse

Even at 0.9 book value Affin would be priced at 4.00.

Posted by zero > 2018-09-10 15:39 | Report Abuse

as a shareholder of Maybank, I sure hope not ;)

Not many incremental benefits for Maybank to take in a RM4.5bn bank, they will also want to lay off staff and close branches (so, not good for the regulators); whereas, the 2nd Tier Banks might see something in Affin.

The BEA stake in Affin is surely going to be a stumbling block to any corporate exercises, like the Aabar stake in RHB.

Posted by TheContrarian > 2018-09-10 15:42 | Report Abuse

Maybank appears to be the best fit. Affin has a strong stockbroker subsidiary in the former Hwang DBS.

@TheContrarian - BIMB looks promising to me, after they solve their overhanging political issues. Definitely a bank with a bright future. Not sure if I can really say the same about Affin; Affin is really a Net Asset play to me, but I can't see any catalyst that will 'unlock' the value in the immediate. Barring being acquired at a stupid valuation lah.

Posted by thenextwave > 2018-09-10 15:46 | Report Abuse

LTAT is now short of cash. Very difficult to pay more than 10% dividend to its members. They are buying many assets during Lodin's time and cause their cash reduced a lot.
Now is the time they will monetize their asset such as affin to sustain they dividend.

Posted by TheContrarian > 2018-09-10 16:28 | Report Abuse

BIMB is an Islamic bank, it's not practical for it to merge with Affin.

Posted by zero > 2018-09-10 16:51 | Report Abuse

yup, i meant it only as an opportunity cost investment choice, something that you might be interested to look at

Posted by TheContrarian > 2018-09-10 16:59 | Report Abuse

Affin has limited downside. I first aquired Affin at 2.09 and I don't think I will ever get that price again. There's great potential upside if and when a merger takes place

Posted by zero > 2018-09-10 17:36 | Report Abuse

That is true. Just need to be patient.
