But be careful of just 1 q results. Company needs more consistency

But this is a sad company that simply never recovered after selling its assets. A sunset company perhaps?
Some will disagree and may want to buy it up.

I'd be careful to short this one.
When it rises, it can bankrupt you

Any possibility that F& N reduces dvd ?
(look at Fraser property , dropped so much from more than $2 to $1 and now $0.8...maybe in future $0.4???) ....

F& N posts 1QFY2024 earnings of $43.8 million, up 52.9% y-o-y
 
Profit before interest and tax for 1QFY2024 was up 41.9% y-o-y to $80.6 million. 
 
Earnings per share stood at 3 cents, compared to 2 cents in 1QFY2023.
 
Revenue for the quarter was marginally lower, down 0.2% compared to the corresponding previous quarter at $531.6 million.
 
Profit before interest and tax (pbit) for 1QFY2024 was up 41.9% y-o-y to $80.6 million, with pbit margin growing to 15.2% from 10.7% in 1QFY2023.
 
This is despite unfavourable foreign exchange (forex) translation as well as higher advertising and promotional spending. 
 
Dairies led the pbit growth, jumping 49% supported by higher revenue, lower input costs and higher profit share from Vinamilk. 
 
Geography-wise, contributions from Malaysia improved to 35%, supported mainly by lower input costs. Thailand&rsquo s profit increased (37%) thanks to lower input costs and higher sales, while a higher share of profit from Vinamilk contributed to Vietnam&rsquo s increase (35%). 
F& N full-year earnings up 6.7% to S$133.2m on higher revenue
 
BEVERAGE and publishing company Fraser and Neave (F& N) on Thursday (Nov 9) announced a 6.7 per cent rise in net profit to S$133.2 million for the financial year ended Sep 30, from S$124.9 million a year ago.
 
Revenue grew 4.8 per cent on the year to S$2.1 billion, from S$2 billion. This was largely supported by its beverages segment, whose revenue increased 6.1 per cent to S$603.5 million, said the group in a bourse filing.
 
It added that the increase in beverage revenue was mainly due to beer operations in Myanmar, which expanded capacity. This was despite unfavourable currency translations of S$16.8 million due to the weakening of the Myanmar kyat against the Singapore dollar.
 
On the other hand, revenue from its dairies segment slipped 0.4 per cent to S$1.2 billion. This was mainly due to lower dairies sales in Singapore and negative foreign exchange translation on revenue in Thailand.
 
Revenue from its publishing and printing rose 3.2 per cent to S$221.4 million, which the group attributed to strong book distribution and retail sales despite a weaker performance from education.
 
Earnings per share stood at 9.2 Singapore cents for the full year, up from 8.6 cents the year before.
 
F& N&rsquo s board is recommending a final dividend of four cents per share, up from 3.5 cents per share. Together with the interim dividend of 1.5 cents paid in June 2023, this brings the total full-year dividend to 5.5 cents, up from five cents the year before.
 
The final dividend will be paid on Feb 16, 2024, pending approval at the group&rsquo s upcoming annual meeting on Jan 24, 2024.
 
Hui Choon Kit, chief executive officer of F& N, said that the group will be &ldquo doubling down on strategies that have consistently delivered results&rdquo as it navigates a complex and inflationary environment.
 
&ldquo Building on the robust momentum of the fourth quarter, our focus remains on driving productivity improvements to fund growth investments, tackle input cost challenges, and maintain balanced growth across the top and bottom lines.&rdquo
Sales does not seem to be as good as before.
If you go to Petrol stations these days, you hardly see F& N products.
If you go to smaller Sheng Shiong   or NTUC stores, you almost do not see F& N products.
Everywhere you would see Coke, Pepsi and Pokka products
until CNY then F& N products would only re-appear.
Something is not correct somewhere.

F& N 9-month net profit falls 7.9% to S$89.6 million
MAINBOARD-LISTED drinks maker Fraser and Neave (F& N) : F99 0% reported a 7.9 per cent fall in net profit for the nine months ended Jun 30, 2023, despite a 5.6 per cent rise in revenue.
 
F& N, in a business update on Friday (Aug 4), said net profit decreased to S$89.6 million from S$97.3 million a year earlier. Earnings per share stood at S$0.062, compared with S$0.067 during the corresponding period the year before.
 
Unfavourable foreign exchange conversion, higher advertising and promotional spending, and high input costs weighed on profits, the company said.
 
Earnings from the dairies segment, its largest profit contributor, were flat similarly due to unfavourable foreign exchange and high input costs, in addition to a lower share of profits from Vinamilk. Beverages earnings fell 22 per cent, despite higher sales.
 
F& N&rsquo s revenue grew to S$1.6 billion from S$1.5 billion in the previous nine-month period. The beverages and dairies segments grew on the back of higher selling prices, festive campaigns, new product launches and higher export sales.

666 is the number of the beast.... scary indeed !
On a more serious note, it is 750k in SGD. Could be a big private investor or a small fund entering ?
