@KelvinLim123 .... " if u are looking for div, then there are many good stock that offer better div and safe also compare to this one.
SPH, .Singpost, for example"
Thanks. I already have those stocks and you are absolutely right, they are much safer than SMRT.
A question I got from another forum. 'Cooling for property and Car, so that what will be HOT? '
if u are looking for div, then there are many good stock that offer better div and safe also compare to this one.

Well, if they maintain the dividends, the price will stabilise.
If they continue to cut dividends, then the price will drop.

I also expect the fare will increase. Hope this will help SMRT share price.
No need to wonder. Definitely will increase.
Just a matter of how much.......

Full year result 30 Apr 13.
The transport fare review mechanism committee will submit its report by end-May 13. Wonder if Govt will increase the fare?
Dividend is not as good as before but still the best among the three transportation companies (SBS and ComfortDelgo).
Maintenance costs expected to increase as the company aims to raise its service level rating.
Sell and put that money to work elsewhere. This one div now not attractive, and while u wait here ,your money not working as hard for you.
What good news coming? run the JB line? so? how much upside? just ask?
more breakdown, more maintenence cost, the line is too old.

Material in 2018 the service horse the new multinational LRT system is expected to be put into service in 2018, undoubtedly inject a shot in the arm for the Iskandar region.
Since the scheme is a joint construction, involving a wide range of units, the two countries must examine the LRT feasibility, benefits, risks, engineering technology, environmental impact, investment and operating cost.
Plus other areas of cooperation, such as customs, immigration and quarantine center, the construction of multi-purpose terminal and other strategic issues, and always only hear the thunder, the exact mode of operation is not a character to write.

contrarian view.......... before long , this gp of analyst will start saying its time to buy SMRT as our population is going up to 7 million by 2030,hence higher ridership. Soon the govt will also justify the 1 to 2 cents price increase in fare. Secondly this poorer result from Smrt will also help to soothe the angry nerve of all commuters and give the image that SMRT is very responsible and is prepared to do all it can to ensure commuter satisfaction, even with poorer coy income......... don`t forget it is a case of 羊 毛 出 在 羊 身 上 ， soon we`ll have to pay higher fees.

Shares of SMRT Corp Ltd fell to a five-month low after the Singapore transport operator reported a 31 per cent fall in third-quarter net profit and brokers warned that its earnings could be dragged further by higher expenses.
DBS Vickers expects SMRT's earnings to worsen and cut its earnings estimates by 16 per cent for the company's 2013 fiscal year and by 25 per cent for 2014. DBS reduced its target price to S$1.30 from S$1.50 and kept its 'fully valued' rating
Down trend stock , unless government go ahead to increase fares.
For long term investors of SMRT, this is my 2 cents worth:
SMRT just released their 3rd quarter results and they say that their profitability will deteriorate due to higher operating costs.Staff costs for the Train and Bus operations are expected to significantly increase due to increased headcounts and market wage adjustments. Maintenance for train operations will increase due to enlarged train fleet and continuing to improve the reliability of the aging fleet and rail network.

I personally do not think it is a good choice to acquire any amount of SMRT shares due to their increased operational costs and their lack of visible growth plans or investments for the company. On top of the high operational costs, they are incurring more debts in order to pay dividends to their shareholders. Despite the rapid expansion of the MRT network in Singapore, these railway networks will likely incur costs to maintain. As reliability is the key to their operations, long term returns will not be sustainable, especially if they continue to pay dividends to the shareholders in the expense of debt.

SMRT Corp's net profit for the third quarter ended Dec 31, 2012 slumped 31.2 per cent to S$25.5 million despite a 5 per cent rise in revenue to S$281.7 million.
The rail operator, which also operates buses and taxis, blamed higher operating expenses and significantly higher bus losses for the drop in profit.
It said group revenue had increased mainly on higher train and bus ridership, contribution from the full operation of the Circle Line, and higher taxi and rental revenue.
Earnings per share in the quarter were 1.7 cents, down from 2.4 cents in the year-ago period. No dividends were declared.
Happening for good or bad???
