SPH is a near monopoly in the media industry in Singapore. If you are into dividend play, this counter is really really cheap now.
SPH should get some rebound soon next week.. if they are not able to hold at current level, it will move further down..
I believe US's side will have some good news next wk which will send this counter for some relieve.
SPH seems to be trending up slowly linearly. Watch out for gap resistance at around 3.8
Blogging at moneytalk.sg on the stock market, ETF and anything to do with money.
my chart says support @ 336, queing now cutloss @325
SPH is celebrating its 25th Anniversary Next year. There mmight be high possibility of them having a special high dividend payout. In addition, i notice from their lastetst annual report that the cash suddenly shoot up ard 100 million sia.
Wat AK opines that, for those new entry, avoid ds counter. For those bought it earlier, sell in strength is a better option.
Above , ak view only, no call for anything, just sharing.
Moved up 16 cents already because of dividends. Cheers to those vested!

Its lowest lately was 3.14. Just think cautiously.
Dun stress yourself, if u think it is unnecesssaly.
SPH going strong today; currently up by 5cents.

u r right!

At current situation, div pay out is likely unable to maneuver the stock price liao.
Ie looking at SIA, DBS(owing to Sands issue) etc. Moreover its XD is on
9 Dec.Anything can be happened ahead.
Not a call for anything but just share AK opinion loh.
In bear, think will down after Xd
Bollinger bands getting pretty tight. Large price change may occur soon.
wow still up. super defensive stock
This counter will hit to 3.55 b4 XD..stay tuned.
So, do we expect significant correction after div payout? What kind of range are we looking at based on current climate & historical data? Advice??
Cash or CPF payouts depends on how you make your purchase with. If you purchase the share with cash, then the payout will be cash and the same goes for CPF.
