Price should be minus $270 and 1430/5
approximately 536 at least.....since close at 11.30
price after XA should be 10.744 range...i hope i m right..ha
Any rough estimation how much it will drop after XD? Dw below $11?
Friend bryangoh, $11.06 is an ok entry price. My 5 lots  - which I just bought in anticipatioon of upcoming ex-date - has an average entry price of $11.28. Kepcorp's fundamentals are sound. Although it's present price level is not outrageously high, it is still around a historically high level having risen from $7  as you pointed out. So, even though it has upside potential over the next few years and can earn us dividends along the way, we may have to brace ourselves for possible price drops due to market fears.
Meanwhile, let's collect some money on Aug 24 ex-date.

Please note that the stock of Keppel Corporation (KEP) is going ex-dividend tomorrow.
Recall that the group declared a final ordinary dividend of 27 cents/share and KREIT dividend in specie post its 4Q12 results.
One KREIT share is awarded for every five KEP shares. Hence with KREIT's current price of S$1.455, the dividend in specie is worth about 29.1 cents/share.
This translates to a dividend yield of ~4.95% from just the special and ordinary final dividends, and ~6.55% for the whole of FY12, which is attractive.

Kep Corp: Keeping The Faith Maintain BUY, TP $12.85
The weaker core PATMI of SGD331m (-56% YoY) for 1Q13 was mainly due to
lumpy property recognition of Reflections at Keppel Bay last year and is
not a cause for concern. We retain our Buy call as we remain positive
on the offshore & marine sector and Keppel’s leadership position as a
premium rigbuilder.
O& M operating margin turned up higher as we expected. While
management maintains their conservative guidance of 10-12% operating
margins for the long term, we believe that margins this year would be
higher at 14.2%.
Deepwater orders have been slow but jackup orders are strong. With
SGD2.1b of new orders secured YTD, Keppel is on track to meet our
forecast of SGD5.4b in new order wins this year. Outstanding orderbook
of SGD13.1b also provides good earnings visibility.   ...Prev Close: $11.19...
In fact one lot I have bought at $11.06, maybe I think last year and price have dropped to $7.0 at one stage and now it has bound back.
Keppel profit slump 56 per cent  due to one off gains last year, profit from the sale of homes at reflection at keppel Bay. It net asset rose from $5.14 to $5.33. According to analysis, share price will pick up after June'13. I also brought 2 lots and is confidence it will pick up. Even it does not pick up in the short term but the dividend of around 3.5% is better than deposit in the banks.
I meant 11.16. Sorry.
Bought another lot at 11.60. Wow, this is expensive counter. Only 5 lots in total and I am now vested up to $55000 in this counter alone.

Very capital intensive hobby.
Friend bryango, I share your optimism but price has ow slipped to 11.17 and I am now down $827. I wonder how much further down it will drop before bouncing back? I am thinking of buying more - maybe another 1 more lot  and another  as price drops.  Ex-date is April 24.
Do you really think price would go as low as $10 as friend moneymakers say?

Look at it again after ex-date ......
if u are pessimistic about the earnings..
just short it :)
*btw, read the announcement carefully :)

Singapore's Keppel Corp says Q1 net profit falls 56%
:S
shit...........
Bad results . Short to $10 .
Don't worry as reported Keppel won a contract worth US$226 millions, the current order of US$226 millions is 8% higher than the last super B class jack-up order by Japan drilling, value at US$210 millions. this shows that the prices for new premium rigs are unaffected by competition by the Chinese yards. Analyst recommended investors accumulate Keppel shares.
Wah! No one here interested in this counter since April 3?
I just bought 2 lots at 11.32. Did I step on dogshit?

 
Kepcorp bounce off   11.22 accordingly to plan of 28 mar & students profited from kepcorp wrts
