Hi Alex,
ReplyDeletePelikan recover?
Hi cheer
ReplyDeletePelikan need to go above RM0.90. It is still in a bottoming phase.
Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteHappy Dragon Year!
Is ZHULIAN now Fully Valued or Under valued?
I believe it is definitely not overvalued.
Based on price of RM2.00 and 12 sen dividend per year (paid quarterly) the DY of 6%p.a. seem still attractive to dividend-lover.
