the reason of the drop in profit is because more stores (5) are opened during current financial quarter versus (1) last year. I view this as good opportunity for price to drop so that I can buy more.
Bsngpg, do you mind to share what is your largest shareholding?
this is quarter report ending Apr-June la... Hari Raya was in end July la... furthermore... if festive season its the revenue that goes up, profit depends a lot of operational cost, outlet renovation/expansion etc. pls get your facts right first before commenting.
The one thing that worries me in the latest quarterly report is the tremendous increase in inventories. This could signal that Padini has difficulty selling its products.
Well, do not tell me there arent shoppers do their pre-raya shopping in June. Padini is a stable stock. Keep for dividends ok lah. But if you expect +50% gain then Hahaha!
nobody is expecting a 50% gain here. im just correcting ur assumption that profit has nothing to do with festive season. only revenue will be affected by festive season buying.
next quarter, around November / December I am feeling secure that my dividend will be RM 0.25 normal dividend and 0.025 special dividend :) (RM 0.050 nett)
Once the Sunway Putra Mall open up and IOI City Mall opening in November 2014, sales will still kick in. and next dividend will be higher as usual. :)
there is chance that seller Q could be fake, to put on pressure for panic investors to unload lower than 1.89 while they happily queue at buyer there to accumulate. next earning announcement will capture sales of July-Sept. most likely the last quarter of the calendar wil normally be the strongest. till then, keep calm and enjoy your dividends
i think Malaysians will tend to stock up non-perishable items during the last minute shopping before Apr 2014. so expect this year end sales to be booming! just my 2 cents...
good to see Padini consistent giving dividends :-) now waiting the money into my account. Unfortunately can't buy more at this time (no money)..... have to wait till September only get my money. Hope by then the same price still the same.
Paying too much for future profits is always a mistake. DCF model is just too optimistic. best to stick to historical data. consider that padini is always giving constant stream of dividends, it's price should be neutralised buy the payout.
Fully agree with stock operator. I believe many here have portfolio less than RM 100k. Not sure if it is worth the time considering the annual/normalized capital gain of 15-30%. Investors having small capital will be much better owning properties. Imagine 10% down and your property appreciate 100% upon VP after 5 years. You will make RM 900k before fees and interests. Now you tell me which stock in the main board can give 10X return in 5 years. I can only name one - DSONIC and how many bought it?
@power Although I am incredibly critical about Padini, it is one of the retail stocks that I like. However, my perception which is not important to you, is that Padini is currently fully valued. People are investing in this stock are investing on the premise of the high dividend yield. And good luck, it is just not my cup of tea.

0.025 dividend is within expectation, but still good. Next catalyst for the share price is the inclusion of Padini in the shariah compliant list
