It is funny how people talk as if everyone have the same taste for everything. Ever heard of the saying "One man's trash is another man's treasure"? Sure, you may like some other brands. But there will always be someone who will regard whatever you treasure as trash. It applies to many things including clothing, shoes, accessories, house, car, partner/spouse etc. etc. You get the idea. At the end of the day, different people will always have different taste and budget for everything.
Look at the reported revenue. Is it going down? No? Why is it increasing? Does increased revenue equals to better sales? Does better sales translate as a brand that people will buy? Why are the earnings going down? Is it something temporary? Or will this be an on-going trend for years to come? Is the management doing something about it? So many questions that we can ask ourselves and yet so few willing to find out (and instead jump the gun).
In my opinion, let's see what the management can do about this situation before we jump to any conclusion. BUY/HOLD/SELL? Please make your own research and analysis before making a decision. Do not let anyone else dictate what to do with your money. It's your hard earn money after all. Are you willing to take the risk and blindly follow others?
And lastly, Happy CNY and Gong Xi Fa Cai to all. Please stay safe while traveling this festive season.
I will buy when there r talks of how bad that this stock may be .......punters usually will buy buy when the bad appears not the other way round ....there is a Chinese saying That when u throw someone may pick up....
Anyone calculated their LFL sales, especially sales per sq of retail space? I suspect it has gone down quite a bit despite the discounts currently given by management. Not a good year for Padini to be honest...
Till 5pm today, you have entitled the dividend. Payment date is on 20 Mar. Anyway if you sell your Padini tomorrow, the dividend will be still paid to you on 20 Mar.
even though price has come down a lot...the dividend also reduced due to poor performance. the idea of buying base on dividend for this stock is not a good strategy.
Half right half wrong. Price has dropped significantly is right, whereas div has dropped significantly is wrong. Mgt commit to pay 10cents which is still a very high yield at 7%. Last year yield was 5.8% @rm1.90.
FY14, they paid a total of 13sens as dividend. if you take 7% yield, the share price should be RM1.9. FY15, the mgmt slash the dividend by 30% to 10sens, hence at current price the dividend yield is also 7%. Moving forward, if the business is bad, we can't discount the possibility of mgmt slashing downwards the dividend.
div dropped significantly is right. not talking about yield here.
I checked thru website of Bursa, it was 11.5 cents div in 2014. May I know where do you get 13 cents? Mgt commits at least 10 cents this year, thus it is a 13% drop in Div for 2015(1.5/11.5) not 30%, I guess.
Furthermore who knows there may be a special div again at the end of 2015, making total div similar to last year at 11.5 cents. Hopefully.
vol too small to call a sell.....accumulation phase...looking forward, if many retailers chose to close their businesses , then it will be good news for Padini coz no more fierce competition in the same businesses.
today, the footfalls in the shopping malls are lesser. after cny, lotsa ppl stay at home I think. padini outlets as well as BO also less ppl d after cny.
People sell after ex dividend and because of incoming gst. Dividend yield is now very attractive but it is important to diversify and not buy only this counter to protect ourselves
Benson911, 1.38 is not tough time but rather good time to buy given u the DY you get here, you can never get anywhere else. I have been buying and selling Padini last 2 years. If you did buy 10K lots at 1.7 and you hold for 1-2 years, even at 1.5 you are getting yor capital back, i know lots of people who average from 1.6-1.8 but will never cut loss unless DY drops. So, for Christine Lee's concern, cut if the DY drops below wat you can get for your fund elsewhere. Else, no harm keeping, this is not a trading stock, its an investment stock.S o monitor the QR closely and execute a decission which you are comfortable. I hold 20K Stocks, average 1.45.
If this company's profit will growing for years to come , this is absolute value buy in current market price. If not... Even 1.0 will become expensive. Dps will not hold long, today 8% will become tomorrow 4% + capital loss. 站在做生意的角度, 你们认为是什么因素能让Padini在未来几年内的盈利可以成长?它的服装, 鞋设计, 产品质量, 员工服务, R&D , 销售策略, 成本控制有做到进一步改良吗? 许多顾客会员不再renew member的主要原因是什么? 顾客提供的feedback, management有认真地研究和参与吗? 以上种种因素是否比明天, 后天, 下星期的股价更为重要呢?
now already facing profit margin squeeze. after gst another 6% squeeze. If i tell you no hard time ahead, actually I am telling myself no fear in fact very fear. as yourself the capital loss can cover your lucratic dividend or not. so my advice is if you still want to hold , do not see the price, do not expect the profit margin will improve in the near future. if your average is around 1.3 then not a big problem, if your average is around 1.7, how to cut loss, then you should buy som, then at 1.2 then your average is 1.45. wait at least 2 years, you may recover your capital loss and net gain dividend. pray hard they keep their word to pay you at least 2.5 sen a quarter. then your net gain for these 2 year is around 6.9% from dividend. myself like excitement, if I don't like to see price ZZZZ...., so i sold all and buy one without dividend , I can't tell you here because nothing is sure win. but if you are interested , I don't mind to share.
