Is time to accumulate ?

Posted by Investsmart60 > 2023-08-25 10:04 | Report Abuse

Lets accumulate as much as possible. Then drop to 40sen accumulate again to average cost down. Then repeat at 30 sen until close shop. Is smart thing to do. Average down the cost.

why TP is set so high by investment banks when many customer are unsubscribing their service?
Have been holding this share since 2016 or so and the price keep dropping zz
So they are not having any physical agm for minority shareholder anymore? Seems like alot of companies are doing it virtually :(

Best case scenario - IBs have blind spots when it come to setting TP for ASTRO. Their blindspot has persisted for many, many years now. Everytime, their TP is higher than current price and every time, price keeps falling .. and falling .. and falling ... and their TP keeps falling ... and falling ... and falling ...

Today, still got too many IB recommending Buys with higher TPs than current price ... and you know what will happen ... Price keeps falling ... and falling ... and falling ... and TPs gets revised and fall ... and fall ... and fall.

All these talk about merger and TP rising to RM1 .. or RM1.50 .. are just that ... **talk**

The NTA of ASTRO is only 21 sen. The stock EPS last quarter is only 0.3 sen. Annualized is 1.2 sen. At 21 sen, that's P/E of 17.5 which is fair value.

Current price is 51 sen. ASTRO needs to improve its earnings before it's worth 51 sen. So, you know the price bias.

Nobody is going to pay RM1 or RM1.50 for ASTRO whether it is M&A situation or Merger or whatever. The past couple years, this overpaid CEO decided to super expand ASTRO to take on a lot of debts that needs financing and ASTRO that used to be a cash cow is now saddled with perpetual high finance costs that looks to keep growing ... and growing ... and growing ...

The bet to boost revenues looks to have failed - the only way they can boost revenue is to increase Marketing costs and that will further lower profitability.

A couple of years ago, ASTRO has the chance to protect its cash cow status by hunkering down, lower expenses and not grow. But they want the new ang moh CEO. And ang moh being ang moh ... you know lar ... must show aggressiveness. Must grow. Must spend. Must take on big, big, big debts.

So, welcome to New ASTRO. The one with big, big, big debts. The one where the cash generating cow is now so thin that this cow can barely give you any milk ...

This is a dead stock. The best you can do is not to touch this. If you own it, and can't get yourself to sell it, then, ignore it and let it die ...

Up to 2022, this company use to earn every quarter 2-4 sen per share. Annualized around 10 sen per share.

But last quarter is only 0.3 sen per share.

The old ASTRO is gone forever now ... they had a chance in 2021 to hunker down, strategize recognizing the business model is dying with so many threats that they cannot escape ... they could have kept expenses low, and delay the reduction of the 2-4 sen per quarter dividend slowly ...

Instead, they chose to accelerate the reduction of EPS from 2-4 sen now to 0.3 sen.

Congratulations ASTRO! Now go and die faster to 21 sen NTA.

Thanks for yr enlightenment Dividendguy67, the share price during recent year is very disappointing. Dividend as well 😂 That's the fact, their service is trash, we complained but they don't want to improve.

Naysayers? why u so desperate..the share is literally losing money for ppl who held it long enough 😊

Dead stock. Best look outside. Financial analysis this is bad. In few months may have rights issue as cashflow is bad and high debt. Unless maxis takes over this is a dart waiting to die.

The fact that Astro is now undertaking another voluntary separation scheme (VSS) to improve its financial performance, having already reduced its headcount in 2018, is seen by some observers as “the house being cleaned ahead of a corporate exercise”. Others reckon, however, that it is necessary to keep a tight rein on cost amid tough times.

Apart from potential dealings between sister companies, those familiar with Maxis would know its board and management had also previously been asked, as recently as at its AGM in May, about whether it would merge or collaborate with U Mobile for 5G.
