GST was implemented on some of their stocks. anyway, EVEN IF it does not affect them directly, GST reduces consumption, which ultimately affects DFI biz. Dont embarrass yourself already then delete the msgs like in the other chat lei. For now you are just annoying and ignorant, dont degrade yourself to becoming stupid.

Can' t confirm that Sir but that was one of the items on Pakatan Harapan' s manifestos, so it should be implemented?

one more good news. Riggint will fall.

Duty free has been booking 40% drop in net profit mainly attributed to riggint appreciating (USD depre). They store most of their cash in USD.

Hopefully all works out!

I think business as usual for duty free lei... shouldnt change much... at least in short term..

hopefully alot of people who went back home visited duty free store to buy alcohol to celebrate :D

 

Dont know whether Mahatir will abolish the hotel tax or not, along with the GST?

 

Yes!!! Duty free international is a FUNDAMENTALLY HEALTHY company. The whole market now is risk averse trend, so have faith! The stock market is also driven by investors CONFIDENCE.

Dr M win, how?

 

If they lose that one case won't need to announce profit warning la. They have much more money to pay the fine.
And yes.... I think there will be short term weakness in share price :(

But i think there will be a nasty reaction  to the share price  if they lose the court case becos they will have to annouce profit warning which is never a good thing.   kelvintan84      ( Date: 05-May-2018 23:20) Posted: I think najib will win, and I also think duty free will lose that case. But najib is also clever, he will not kill the goose that lay golden eggs... At most the case will be confine to that one store... Duty free bankrupt or close down won't do najib any good in long run.

The flat fee of 10 ringgit per night per room may not sound much for a 5 star hotel, but for those no star ones, it' s probably 100% (or more) of their profit margin.

 

they mentioned in e announcement

tonylim70      ( Date: 26-Apr-2018 07:31) Posted: any source ? how u know is May? thanks alexchew      ( Date: 26-Apr-2018 07:21) Posted: Tax case already went to court, waiting decision in May. Lets see what happens then.

In the end we are both wrong. This one just trade between 0.2 - 0.22 range....

tonylim70      ( Date: 09-Apr-2018 22:49) Posted: April annoucement of results is the key liao... Positive catalyst: 1) Win tax court case, 2) Dividend of more than 0.5 cents declared,  3) HK listing,  4) Share buyback starts,  5) Declare the use of cash for acquisition of overseas duty free business. ==> 1), 3) and 5)  are huge catalyst Negative catalyst: 1) No update (uncertainties)  or Lose tax court case, 2) No Dividend or very little dividend declared, 3) Lousy results aka lousy profit,  4) No share buyback even after blackout period (after annoucement of results)  ==> 1), 2) and 3) are huge Positive: Share price go back to 28 cents, Negative: Share price drop to 18 cents. Buy at 23 cents , either u profit 5 cents or lose 5 cents.. Just my prediction.   kelvintan84      ( Date: 09-Apr-2018 22:14) Posted: I'm one of those who bought recently. 1) The fundamentals of the company did not because of the tax court case, it affects only 1 store. (I understand you SUSPECT more store will kena). The fundamentals changed because najib implemented GST on some of the stores traditionally used to be duty free. 2) even with the implementation of GST on some store, this company still presents value. (I know full well of the impact of GST on some stores and the products they carry) 3) there is an established share buy back policy and they will buy back shares upon approval of board (subjected to out of blackout period) 4) cash is now their strategic resource (I quote from the IR). I agree, because this is probably the only catalyst this company has in the short term apart from possible secondary listing. The fall in share price from 40+ cents is not without reasons, the plunge in Thai border biz, the implementation of GST are the main reasons. Some of these problems are one off, some are here to stay. You need to develop your own financial model to determine the fair value of this company. I did, and so I bought in at certain price. I will only react if, as per Tony Bro suspect (and become reality) more stores kena tax recall or if Thai king die again. If not whatever happened had been priced in, this is my personal opinion. Stocks fluctuate from time to time and deviate from fundamentals in short term, if you do enough work and value the company based solely on facts and figures, you probably will have more correct picks then misfortune. Vested.....

 

Haha.. I noticed you cut loss, at a price that I entered.. Haha.. Anyway parkson different story lei... That one sunset industry, not cash generative, net lost etc.. (plus recommended by danger who is quite a joke himself).. DFI is monopolistic in nature, majority of their sales comes from alcohol and perfume and these products prices have significant advantage compare with traditional retail.. They are known as the "cash cow" to their parent company sia.
Plus their sales is incline in mirror tourism in Malaysia more than retail spending. (although I also think not much ppl interested to visit Malaysia la....)

tonylim70      ( Date: 26-Apr-2018 07:43) Posted: yap.. if not why i cut loss? i scare of the worms coming out :) Anyway.. I consider reinvest only if the tax case is cleared. If not really is a falling knife. And retail is not good in malaysia right now, another one listed here.. parkson retail share price kana whacked down.. last time used to be 40cents+ then slowly like a falling knife drop until a few cents nia. http://www.sharejunction.com/sharejunction/listMessage.htm?topicId=18631& msgbdName=Parkson Retail& topicTitle=Bottom of retail business?   kelvintan84      ( Date: 26-Apr-2018 07:40) Posted: Haha... Bro... U still harping on the can of worms huh? You may be right that they are conserving cash... They did give div, and DFI is yielding at over 8%.. I don't think giving more than 8% is responsible usage of money.. Thank you for your well wishing. Hopefully the tax case is non material and u can join us as long term investor!

Why? Reasons: They are conserving the cash to pay up for the tax court case. And potentially can of worms as the tax authority may go after the rest of their 39 outlets. U see they never update or clarify the tax case in their annoucement. Usually if they winning the tax court case, they will annouce that they are winning to reassure the shareholders. Also the sell down from 28 cents to 21 cents .. is like a falling knife. Take care bro
