I cannot believe it..this stock is a miracle...all my portfolio are in red but this one is the only green left..Well done..Singtel all the way...
Still a nice blue chip to hold for mid/long term.
Think abt it... subprime woe or not, credit crunch or not, forex fluctuations or not, it's not going to stop people from making phone calls or surf their 3G mobilephones, sending SMSes... and ST is not just depending on Singapore itself to provide revenues.
Same same leh!.....and its getting stronger and stronger. Should have load up more before the XD.
This one leads in my portfolio interms of $ gain for today. What a legend!

Hopefully, maybe another interim dividend..haha....
...My target price is still $3.70 and above for this stock.
Window period? I guess you meant the payment date for your shares which is on the 4rd day (T+3) AFTER your trade? If you buy Singtel before 7AUG whether you have or have not make cash payment yet, you will get the div. It doesnt matter how long you hold or intend to hold. Singtel will PAY you the div since you bought it before 7AUG. Next div will be another story.
HI All,
I bought Singtel just before 7 aug, so do I entitled for the dividend as the window period is 3 days? Meaning it really become mine only at 10 Aug.
If I have owned Singtel shares before 7 Aug, how long should I keep it to earn the dividend?
Thanks a million.

We must also respect these people who puts money in their saving account as well because they are truthful to themselves that they cannot stomach the risk investing in equity. Cheers to these people as they 'win' when majority of the risk takers lose in a BEAR market. *wink*
continue to collect dividend and be a shareholder of singtel ....illustration is meant for you to decide what is best for yourself...there are people putting thousands in saving account and yield very little interest and no growth for the capital..
Agreed, what if the share price at the end of 12 months drop to $2.10?
Assuming you have $3400 and just put in saving account. Say, you earn 1% pa, you will get $34 after 12 months. bBut you have decided to buy 1 lot of singtel. You get $160 as dividend and still invested the money for 12 months. By the end of 12 months, the share price could have hit the analyst target of $3.74. So your money grow faster and at a calculated or low risk counter.
20/20 vision and on hindsight, all things could be crystal clear. Today SingTel opened @ S$3.24 and closed for break @ $3.26. At about 3.30pm maybe could see more selling....and my point of view is never to count your money as long as you're still at the table! I don't think we've seen the worst yet! Cheers!
Assuming you have bought one lot Singtel at 3.40 prior to XD. The 1 lot would have cost you approx 3400 (ex commission).
The div payout was 0.16cts per share which equates to 1000 (1 lot) x 0.16 = 160SGD.
Taking the cost of your 1 lot purchased which is 3400SGD deducting 160SGD will give you 3240SGD.
That very amount can buy you one lot of Singtel at the cost of 3.24SGD. Current price as we speak is above 3.24SGD so consider yourself fortunate buying into Singtel at 3.40SGD.
This is my ad to advocate you to buy Singtel hahaha. <-- so lame~
After XD maybe good buy.
Published August 2, 2007
Brokers' take
Telecoms Sector
SingTel, Aug 1 close: S$3.40
StarHub, Aug 1 close: S$2.77
Citigroup Research, Aug 1
SINGTEL has more ammo than StarHub: StarHub reports its financial
results today, SingTel on Aug 14. A stronger A$ and robust associate
earnings provide upside surprise ammunition for SingTel; we expect a
solid report card from StarHub but with limited positive surprise
elements.
SingTel - we expect S$860 million (+7 per cent
year-on-year) in recurring profits: IDA compensation of S$84 million
per quarter falls off this quarter onwards. Like-on-like, this would be
19 per cent year-on-year growth. Drivers are: 1) strong A$ (S$/A$
averaged 1.27 for 1QFY08 versus 1.18 in 1QFY07) boosting Optus'
contributions by around S$15 million; and 2) sustained growth in
associate contributions - we expect 17 per cent year-on-year, rising to
S$578 million. We expect operating Ebitda of S$1.1 billion.
StarHub - we expect S$86 million (+14 per cent year-on-year) in
profits: We expect Ebitda of S$165 million (+14 per cent year-on-year)
on revenues of S$487 million (+9.6 per cent year-on-year). We want to
see whether recently announced tariff hikes in cable TV translate into
higher top-line guidance for 2007 (currently for 'high single digit').
Issues to note:
SingTel - margin trends in Singapore and at Optus: we expect weaker for
Singapore as professed growth initiative costs kick in; stable for
Optus at about 26 per cent levels; StarHub -
higher EPL content costs will kick in in Q3 before tariff hikes come
into effect in October. Does this distort Q3 financials?
Both
attractive at these levels: SingTel's attraction is exposure to
continued value accretion in its associates, particularly Bharti and
Telkomsel. StarHub is now off 5 per cent since July 20, when SingTel
announced its IPTV launch, and (though catalyst-starved) offers limited
downside in our view.
Hi, tiandi..I already got 5 lots in my CDP. but i sold today due to the downfall...
lsqnet, if you sell today , it is traded cum-dividend. You do not keep dividend. The buyer gets the dividend :)
Wait long long.....
