I understand the worries for those companies whose development projects especially residential projects are nearing the tailend and most of the profits are already recognised due to progressive recognition of profits. But Lian Beng still have some meat ...

You're assuming that most of the profits will be distributed to shareholders. Look at the dividend paying track record of the company and their corporate governance record before you put in your faith in the company. You don't asses present and future value of the company based on NTA alone.

If value investing is as simple as buying a company below NTA, investing will be so much simpler.

You're assuming the most the profits will not be distributed to shareholders. Are you an insider who knows the Ongs will not be paying the dividends? Their dividends paid is increasing every year , this year they declared 3 cents. So if I assume every company wun be distributing their profit to shareholders, then I dun have to invest in shares already. If value investing is as complicated as u mentioned, then i think better dun invest in shares already.

On the 3rd Friday of March, June, September and December is what we called triple witching day where fund managers "massage" the share price of their portfolio for their quarterly presentation to their stakeholders. The details i not very sure.
On the 3rd friday of this June ie: 19th June, some counters were pushed up while some pushed down. Lian Beng was pushed up at 5.03pm, U can refer to the chart above.
So I suspect Lian Beng is held by fund manager. This 18th September is the triple witching day. Perhaps the fund manager would repeat the trick again and push the price to 57-58 cents region.
I remember Wee Hur, Courts was pushed down on the 19th June. I forgot which counters were pushed up, maybe u can ask Bro Edwin, he also saw the triple witching happened on 19th June Smile
Cheers.. Please note that the fund manager may not repeat the same trick again, but Lian Beng is quite a safe bet and just keep for mid-long term. BUT if triple witching day Lian Beng chiong, maybe can take profit. Why not? Smile

Lian Beng 1Q/16 EPS already 6+ cents, more than 1Q/15 of 2+ cents. I expect results to be annouced this week and together with the huge profit, they are going to declare special dividends.

Plus more of their properties development are almost fully sold and are going to rake in huge cash pile, especially end of this year, I expect their Mandai Foodlink to TOP which will generate one-time HUGE profit due to industrial building recognising full profit at TOP.

Vested at 49.5 cents...

After results release, they can proceed with share buyback as there is a blackout period before annoucement where they cannot perform sharebuyback

There is existing thread for Lian Beng, thus I merged the post into the old thread.

Please do a search before creating new thread for company. Thank you

Going by this trend, assuming they give out like 2015 in 2016, an additional two cents, it translates into annual yield of 6.9% at today's price of 43.5 cents.

To be fair, they may not give 2 cents and give 1 cent. That makes the yield around 4.6%.

By and large, as long as they give between 2-3 cents, assuming one buys around 43-50 cents, it seems an okay return.

I encourage you to do your own independent "due diligence" on any idea that I write about, because I could be and probably am wrong.

Nothing written here is an invitation to buy or sell any particular stock.

At most, I am handing out an educated guess as to what the markets may do.

The market will always find a new way to make a fool out of me (and maybe, even you!).

Even the best strategies of the past fail, sometimes spectacularly, when you least expect it.

I am not immune to that, so please understand that any past success of mine will probably be followed by failures

I'm even later than Shriva but I can't help but comment that Triple Witching is when index futures and index options and stock options expire. It's is 3rd friday because that is the US expiry cycle. In Singapore SimSci expires 2nd last working day.

And Lian Beng is not even in the index I think.
