x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	For long term investors of SMRT, this is my 2 cents worth: SMRT just released their 3rd  quarter  results and they say that their profitability will  deteriorate  due to higher operating costs.Staff costs for the Train and Bus operations are expected to significantly increase due to increased headcounts and market wage adjustments.  Maintenance  for train operations will increase due to enlarged train fleet and continuing to improve the  reliability  of the aging fleet and rail network. Source:  http://info.sgx.com/webcoranncatth.nsf/VwAttachments/Att_49DF1DD28B2E1D4D48257B020034CA10/$file/results.pdf?openelement I personally do not think it is a good choice to acquire any amount of SMRT shares due to their increased operational costs and their lack of visible growth plans or investments for the company. On top of the high operational costs, they are incurring more debts in order to pay dividends to their shareholders. Despite the rapid expansion of the MRT network in Singapore, these railway networks will likely incur costs to maintain. As  reliability is the key to their  operations, long term returns will not be sustainable, especially if they continue to pay dividends to the shareholders in the expense of debt. *Disclaimer: I am not liable for any investment decision you make with regards to this post. Make your own investment decisions. Source: http://investingsgx.blogspot.sg/2013/01/buy-smrt-not-now.html

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	SMRT Corp's net profit for the third quarter ended Dec 31, 2012 slumped 31.2 per cent to S$25.5 million despite a 5 per cent rise in revenue to S$281.7 million. The rail operator, which also operates buses and taxis, blamed higher operating expenses and significantly higher bus losses for the drop in profit. It said group revenue had increased mainly on higher train and bus ridership, contribution from the full operation of the Circle Line, and higher taxi and rental revenue. Earnings per share in the quarter were 1.7 cents, down from 2.4 cents in the year-ago period. No dividends were declared.
