Genting dividends in two to three years if ...

SINGAPORE
And despite that caution, Genting shareholders told MediaCorp at an extraordinary general meeting yesterday that they remain confident the firm is on track to repay its massive debt.
It posted a hefty net profit of $397 million in the quarter ended June — overturning a $51 million loss in the previous year.
But Genting remains unable to declare any cash dividends as it is tied to a loan structure which restricts the firm from paying any dividends until next year or after the loan has been fully paid off.
Genting was responding to some of the 1,000 shareholders that attended the meeting, who had asked why the company had kept a zero-dividend policy since its listing in 2005.
On the other hand, some shareholders told MediaCorp they are investing in Genting for the long-term and are hopeful they will see returns in due time.
“By not paying dividends, the funds remain in the company.
They can be used to repay loans or finance any capital expenditure, or used as loan repayment,” said shareholder Horace Tan.
The S$4.2-billion loan was secured in Feb 2008 and funded about 60 per cent of the development of Resorts World Sentosa.
At the same time, shareholders have approved the company’s proposed divestment of its British operations. Genting UK will be handed over to Genting Malaysia for about £340 million (some $688 million at the time).
This is far less than the original purchase price of £626 million when Genting Malaysia bought British casino operators Stanley Leisure in 2006 and renamed it Genting UK.
Genting UK posted losses to the tune of £184.6 million for the three months ended March 31.
Genting Singapore’s share price rose three cents or two per cent yesterday to close at $1.55.
— Genting Singapore shareholders can look forward to cash dividends in two to three years time, provided the company remains profitable and has paid off its $4.2-billion debt.I expect to see some analysts say that there is a bearish engulfing pattern formed by yesterday's and today's candles.
In theory they are right.
Genting Singapore may fall on candlestick: Technical analysis |
Written by Bloomberg |
Thursday, 19 August 2010 09:11 |
Genting Singapore Plc, operator of one of two casino resorts in the city-state, may fall as a bearish candlestick pattern emerged after the stock surged to a record, according to OCBC Investment Research. “Judging from the candlestick that emerged, the rally could have peaked,” Philip Teo, a technical analyst at OCBC Investment, said in an interview. “A strong correction could kick in over the next couple of days.” Genting soared to a record close on Aug 13, a day after the company reported it returned to profitability in the second quarter on positive contributions from its casino resort in Singapore and as analysts upgraded their stocks ratings. The stock climbed as much as 31% from the Aug 12 close through a record intra-day high of $1.68 on Aug 17 before it started falling, according to Bloomberg data. That decline helped create a long black candlestick with long upper shadow, indicating a potential reversal of the recent rally, Teo said. “This will likely lead to a sharp correction,” Teo said. “The stock could retrace back to $1.30.” That was the previous record high set in December. Genting Singapore rose 2% to $1.55 yesterday. That helped form a so-called harami reversal pattern, Teo said. Candlestick charts show information on opening and closing prices and the trend within each trading period. If the closing price is above the open, the candlestick is clear, or white, indicating a bullish trend. If the stock closes lower than it opened, the candlestick is black, or bearish, according to StockCharts.com. Harami Origins A harami pattern is formed if the range between a security’s opening and closing prices falls within the equivalent range from the preceding day. The name, which is derived from the Japanese word for pregnancy, comes about because the body of the second day’s candle would fit within that created the day before. Technical analysts observe price charts to forecast resistance levels, or ceilings restricting further price increases, and support levels, or floors limiting declines. They use trading patterns and prices to predict changes in a security, commodity, currency or index. |
That is entirely possible...
But it needs a few power elephants to give it another oomphy push...
After that, it will be game over...
and then the long gradual slide begins...
