Day of reckoning has come AREIT declares .59/share cash dividend, cdiv to guide market to the yield it desires

We have reported earlier that AREIT may have to sink further until it finds the yield. In the said report we said that all the talks about its yield are all based on speculations from brokers, analyst, and commenters. We said at that time that AREIT’s yield is zero until AREIT declares dividend and it is going to sink because the yield is zero. It will sink further until it finds the yield.

We feel that we have been heard by AREIT and the Ayala group. Just today AREIT declares a dividend. This was announced in an emergency disclosure today. Please see attached copy of the disclosure below.

In the trading today, AREIT attempted to rally but towards the end it lost steam to end at 25.95.

With the cash dividend the market will now have a clear guide on how to price AREIT to get the yield it desires.

Finally, the day of reckoning for AREIT holders has come. We will now see how the market will price AREIT. The dust will finally settle and we wish everyone the best of luck.

ABS-CBN's date of reckoning is coming, effects to reverberate to entire Lopez Group

Image
As already known by anyone, Lopeze's risk management system failed to avert the imminent risk that the legislative franchise of ABS-CBN will expire and not be renewed by the Philippine Congress. The Lopezes' failure to secure a congressional franchise to broadcast for ABS-CBN triggered the company's default on its loans to its creditors. Since then, ABS-CBN has been at the mercy of its creditors. ABS-CBN and its lenders agree that, upon satisfaction of the necessary conditions under the Omnibus Security and Intercreditor Agreement (the "Standstill Effective Date") and during the effectivity period (the "Standstill Period") of the standstill as specified in the Omnibus Security and Intercreditor Agreement, it shall not declare an event of default to the extent that it relates to the Franchise Expiration Default. The Standstill Period shall be from the Standstill Effective until the Long Stop Date (December 31, 2023) . The Omnibus Security and Intercr...

WLCON'S opex increase outpaced improvements in gross profit

Image
In the nine months ending 30 September 2023, WILCON DEPOT reported a 10.2 billion gross profit, up 0.6 billion from the same period in 2022. The figure marks a 6.56% improvement in gross profit. But it is not only the gross profit that has been increasing. Operating expenses grew to 6.6 billion from 5.6 billion a year earlier.  That would mark a 17.43% increase in operating expenses. The growth in operating expenses outpaces the improvement in the gross profit.  Store expansion may need to produce more gross profit to cover the associated operating expenses of the expansion.  Otherwise, there is value destruction. Year-to-date WLCON is down 33.56%.

Consunji's DFC Holdings not yet done accumulating DMC shares

We have earlier commented that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse impact on the operations and finances of DMCI Holdings, Inc. ( DMC ) during the first half of 2020 (1H 2020) which resulted to a weaker financial footing for DMC as of end of 1H 2020 . The weakness in the results of DMC sent it shares plummeting to a low of 3.40 a share almost revisiting the 3.10 a share low at the height of the sell down in March 2020. The Consunji’s took advantage of the weakness in the share price of DMC, accumulating DMC shares along the way. We have commented earlier that the Consunji’s private holding company, DFC Holdings, Inc., had accumulated a total of 55,425,100 DMC shares as of the end of August 2020 . It appears now that DFC Holdings is not yet done accumulating DMC shares. For the first two weeks of September 2020, DFC Holdings bought 3,892,000 DMC shares. The Consunji’s accumulation of DMC shares signals that they have the operational and financial expertis...
