you must realise that there is still a big chunk of older & middle aged generation buying newspapers for their daily feed of information. These people are loyal patrons of Lianhe Wanbao, Berita Harian. In magazines, Men's Health (by SPH) has the largest subscription. To further add what I mean - if you breakdown the population by age, by income band, you will see older generation numbers are more than your Gen X, Gen Y etc. At one point if I remember, Spore is the 3rd most ageing population in the world.

in addition, SPH did include the newer group of people to utilise their media space - SPH capture into new media such as the introduction of STOMP. Ads were publicised in STOMP & through gala events, functions. STOMP was one of the most popular online channel youngsters went to capture the latest gossips, news etc.

on the other hand, we cannot compare SPH with Rupert Murdoch News Corp because they have different business units. E.g. 20th Century Fox owned by News Corp but SPH does NOT own the whole MediaCorp, only 20% of it. MediaCorp is still very much privatised. News Corp is directly impacted by the credit crunch but SPH does NOT to my knowledge have a mandate to invest in large stakes in other overseas media organization. The few they had was Sun newspapers etc.

SPH as a consumer monopoly is still the favoured market leader in Spore for print media which is their main revenue stream, 70% of it.

Hope this helps :)

Traditional modes of advertisements in newspapers are not facing competition from other modes like Google Adsense, e.t.c. Seriously, from a long term perspective, dont really think this counter will make it. Look at how some of the media companies in a relatively more advanced nation of USA is faring. They are declining. A harbinger of the whats to come for SPH. SGDividends www.sgdivdends.blogspot.com

 

But this burger always give better div than Singtel. just some considerations. cheers

 

Possible, if STI were to hit 1200 level or Sg's gdp is -10%.

 

$2.35 ....hmm ...will it fall to $2???

 

I placed full page advertisement with them quite often. Good profits come from the following:-

New Product Launch such as Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Philips, Samsungs, Sharp

New Property Launch

Company Official Opening

New Products by Bank

Full Page Advertisement from major supermarket and department stores

Others such as classified ad

No matter how high dividend, SPH will not beneficial from recession and current IT era. Ask yourself how you getting the updated financial news recently as compared to 10 years ago. I think clue is clear.

 

Hit 10-year low. 

 

wah this counter no break.. just keep getting lower..

 

tomorrow...more pain! I hope not...

 

wah... dip below $2.50 liao... not sure if Ah Tan will drop his pants onot 

 

So should go for Stel lah ....good time, people talk ....bad time, talk even more ....

 

Newspapers are really thin these days. There are pages where no advertisements exists.

I recently also saw a CNN news clip that newspapers in the US and Europe are struggling because of dropping subscription rates. People tend to read news online now.

Do note that this is only the interim divds , the best of it is usually the final one which I predict could be 2-3x that amount. 

 

wat? $60/lot only? 2.4% is very very low...  He better pull up his pants till his chest  

 

Ha ha, Mr Tommy is very generous ones, unless d old man gives strong objection as they may need more cash to tie over current n projected needs, should be ar that range loh. Cheers.
