the settlement between the landlord and parkson is reflected in 2015 accounts but question is whether the landlord has paid the bank.
if not, parkson will still have legal issues.
but that is besides the point.
parkson is having shrinking pats from 2012-15 culminating into loss last yr, and if it was not due to the gains from disposal, the company would have been deeper in the red.
Can anyone explain about the recent low trading volume and drop in price? How is the current shopping mood and crowd in Malaysia, especially Parkson? Thank you.
hidden players are playing the psychological side, push down the price lower with very small volume and make the holders no confidence and seems hopeless, and dump the holdings. Then they will quietly eat them up slowly and once accumulated sufficient holdings, they will push the price up and you will be too late to react to get in.
To me PRA will report THE WORST QUARTER EVER, with lots and lots of impairment. Parkson in SEA is a gone case. But China, still have hope, due to their incredibly valuable fixed assets. Also their China operations is more robust than SEA...at least there can shop online, for example, even if it is very primitive. I won't discount that China will continue and improve on its profitability compared to previous quarter.
Problem is PRA reports before PRGL, stock might fall into 40sen territory by then. S@&%#!
even parkson's china ops r gone case becos the trend there is chinese shoppers either shopping online or going to the more popular fully fledged shopping malls.
parkson is now trying to transform into a fully-fledged mall concept, but this is alrdy too late since competitors such as wanda, sunac, sm, aeon etc r far ahead and the competition is only going to intensify.
despite having several valuable pieces of real estate in china, parkson is alrdy late in transforming, so can it be able to turn ard the biz under such challenging environment, or will it choose to sell out????
What is happening to Parkson? Are there serious underlying issues in Parkson? They are celebrating 30 years Anniversary. What is the shoppers mood there? Have Velocity, Mytown improved the overall situation? There are only downward movement in terms of share price and volume so far?
Joetay, I bought Parkson under the assumption that if they themselves cannot transform, they will sell out. Not impossible. They have prime real estate that a online superpower can make very good use of. Now this is called an "asset play" strategy, and should only be done sparingly.
@jeotay, issue with MUI is that it is a massive diversified conglomerate. Parkson is still at the end of the day pretty focused on the departmental store segment. So they're not really same/similar. MUI will always suffer from a "holding company discount".
either u cut and take the loss of rm60k or u stick to the stock in the hope that the privatization story will play out.
like i said b4, the banker has all the cards in a privatization play and if u r in for the turnaround story, it will take a while to play out and the odds may not be favorable.
Just hope that Parkson is able to revive the share price.
US and Hong Kong stock markets have been hitting 52 weeks high continuously. As for Parkson, it is hitting the other way.
When are they able to make the U-Turn?
Will William Cheng and Team make a difference this year?
With so many new opened shopping Centres in K.L. (Velocity, Mytown etc), The results and recovery have to be there or investors like myself will continue to bleed.
Thanks Ks55. Have been reading this post for awhile. It seem that you have been analyzing Parkson movement. Why isn't the Parkson Group doing anything and where do they get the funding to build more stores? They seem badly hit in sales and stock price. However they are able to get funds to startup more stores and recruit a new batch of management team. Hopefully those fund houses will see something in Parkson and start to invest in them again.
Thanks Ks55. It has been a tough time. No clear direction from Parkson so far. Totally in doubts. Nothing announced on Q4 result release yet. Wish all success.
Parkson never had RI unlike Reit stocks. You can buy Reit stocks but you must prepare to dump more capital when they are out of money. No such issue in Parkson.
joe tay ks55 is not objective. Because of his capital tie up ongoing RI he say other other stocks no good. KIP Reit 30 sen cheaper than Hektar not a bad choice. You can also go for AHP for coming 2.7 sen dividend.
ks55 KIP Reit? If major shareholders are selling, what is your interpretation?
I bought most of my Hektar few days ago at 1.24 and 1.23 I was expecting the dividend (Distribution) before the Rights Shares coming into market. Rights shares are not entitled to the 4 sen DPU because profit was made without any contribution from the Rights Shares. This has been the norm.
Better buy will be Atrium as you will see profit improves when all properties already rented out, plus the newly acquired Shah Alam 3 will be delivered to tenant within this quarter once utilities reconnected. 08/08/2017 21:00
PRG has gained almost 100% from the low and PRA has also recovered from the low. Based on the recovery Parkson Holdings should have recovered by easily 30% from 0.55 since it''s controlling more than 50% of both companies but it retreated today to a new low @ 0.545. The stock didn't seem to have strength but weak and succumbed to sell down in any rebound. Some said something fishy is going on and some said it''s heading to 0.50. Looking at the current scenario more downside is very likely. Financially PRA is very weak since its' shareholder funds are already far below paid up capital besides loss making while PRG is just breaking even. So what's actually going on in Parkson Holdings which kept its' price more and more depressed since Q3 result was reported? Is there really going to be a kitchen sinking activity in Q4 or big negative surprise in Q4 result?
PHB is a lost cause. Just wait for WC to privatize and delist it for maybe 0.35-0.40. Next, he would do all the wonders and relist it after 2-3 years for RM2. Not easy to make profit from WC. He's just like the OSK boss. Everything they sapu and leave the shareholders with crumbs or none at all.
thats why i said if kip is below 0.9, then i will punt. i saw a few kip marts and their biz model is quite interesting, something like a cross between hypermart and traditional wet market.
It speaks volumes when PHB dropped from RM5 to Rm0.55. No brainer to notice that. That proves something is terrible wrong in PHB. Now ppl can just hope for turnaround and rebound. Yet to see such turnaround after 5 years of monitoring this counter. The China market is still in a mess which cause them to lose their sights on SEA market. PHB need to assess and reinvent itself and transform drastically or else it's going to be left out in this fast paced economy. It's unfortunate that PHB not a GLC/cronny/political organization and yet it ended up like one e.g. MAS, FGV
Technically PRG is not looking good since yesterday when 1.21 was hit and repeated today. If that's breached in the following sessions a major breakdown can be confirmed from the current rising wedge pattern. A bearish engulfing candlestick was formed few days ago.
PHB low of 0.545 was done yesterday and today. 0.55 major support was finally broken and turned major resistance if no rebound above that in coming session. Perhaps PRA Q4 result will determine PHB direction in immediate term. Be cautious in this critical month.
