Brokers' take: Singapore healthcare plays still in the pink amid reopenings, says Maybank KE
THU, OCT 14, 2021 - 1:36 PM
 
  UPDATED THU, OCT 14, 2021 - 2:59 PM
MAYBANK Kim Eng (MKE) has maintained its " buy" calls on Singapore healthcare plays such as Raffles Medical  Raffles Medical: BSL +0.65%  and Q& M Dental Group  Q& M Dental: QC7 +1.74%  as Singapore and Malaysia look to reopen their borders.
For Q& M, MKE believes there is room for foreign patient load growth. It has left its target price and earnings per share estimates intact for now due to Q& M' s " robust core dental business" - of which foreign patients account for less than 5 per cent.
Rising Covid-19 cases should still support Q& M' s testing revenue in the near term, the research team said. MKE&rsquo s target price for the counter is S$0.85, implying a 45.2 per cent upside from Q& M&rsquo s Thursday closing price of S$0.585. Q& M&rsquo s shares rose 1.7 per cent or S$0.01 for the day.

another daily buy back share? Will know by tonight....
Based on your research...if the same pattern happen    price can double in one month' s time....
example  last year fr  18th Mar to  9th April of daily share buy and  waiting till  23rd April  ..price shot up from  27c to    53c...almost doubled...
before stabilising at 0.35 to 0.40... so this year assuming at 57c shot up  to $1.14 in a mth' s time? Explosive

I checked the SGX Website. https://www.sgx.com/securities/company-announcements?value=Q%20%26%20M%20DENTAL%20GROUP%20(SINGAPORE)%20LIMITED& type=company& pagesize=20& ANNC=ANNC13%2CANNC26
Before 26 Apr 2021, the last buy back was from 18 Mar 2020 - 9 Apr 2020 (they actually bought every day). 18 Mar the price was 28c, and by 9 Apr, it was still around 27c, but what was interesting was after the buy back, it shot to 53c on 23 Apr 2020 (but came back down to stabilise at 35-40c for a long time.

It is interesting....let' s see whether they buy back daily or not....
they can do so from  26th April (mandated  start date) onwards but may not have done till now....
Maybe the more they buy back the less share in the market resulting in higher prices?

It indicates 
12 Oct was the 1st day, and 13 Oct was the 2nd day. Does it mean they are mandated to buy back shares on a daily basis?
