The rise in profits is purely a one-time cosmetic gain due to asset sale and revaluation which accounted for a whopping $207.1m.
Without these one-time gains, the profits from businesses this FY17 is a huge drop from FY16.

The current dividend payout is not even close to being sustainable.

How u derive <$2?

 

[ExtremeWays]

Buibui track record is bad

 

[akwl88]

Waiting at $1

How u derive <$2?

If u look at the last few yrs eps

2014 25cents
2015 20cents
2016 16cents
2017 10 cents which I est. Base on annual decline

15cents = 145.7% payout. At 100% is about 10cents so yea. I am right.

10cents at 5% yield is $2. And u expect the eps will improve or decline further?

SPH CEO starts retrenching .

He will cut as much ppl as possible to cover the drop in revenue plus show some profit next year. After that sell it away.

 

[V_for_Vanilla]

The staff cuts were already planned by his predecessor. He merely accelerates the implementation, which I applaud.

 

[madtari]

Sph is paying millions in their retrenchment exercise leh... wouldn't that increase the expenditure in the near term? although in e long run it helps due to lower recurring expenses.

IMHO he should be the 1st to be retrenched.

he goes to NOL, NOL toh, he goes to SPH, SPH revenue dropped and need to retrench ppl to pop up the profit so he can had his yr end bonus gao gao.

all in all, he cmi.

ppl in NOL don't had a good word about this guy, he ish very unfriendly and don't even acknowledge ppl when wish him in the lift.

 

[Wood41]

Tiagong he sold NOL at the bottom of the market & profit is rising.
NOL buyers shout huat 3x !

ppl can make the company from losing money to making millions $$$ profit after buying over. it ish an endorsement of how poor his business sense.

That's why he sold 20% stakes of Mediacorp for $18 mil first.

SPH to divest Mediacorp stakes for $18m

Spoiler

Many dumb boss who don't know how to run a company will choose the easy way out. It's harder to create a new business to replace this existing one.

 

[Wood41]

Retrench & compensate is better than redundant staff x years.
长痛不如短痛 。

 

[Weaboo]

Can Sph even be sold to outside entities? Tot is propaganda arm of singspore

 

[Perisher]

Their mindchamp stakes are more interesting.

 

[light84]

All shareholders better run road sia.

The new CEO is jiak liao bee one, going to jiak all the bee in SPH. He jiak finish at NOL, now come SPH jiak.

No new business idea or innovation to strategize company except retrenchment.
