Dear Friends,
Today (3 May) we face a cruel reminder of not to hold a stock through earnings. In the past, I have advised short term traders to liquidate all positions before earnings. This is especially so for Genting today. After powering forward for the last few days from $1.40 to $1.64 highest yesterday, today it gaps down to close at $1.485 after a poor poor earnings results.
This is the power of earnings. It has the ability of causing a stock to lose 10% of its value in a single day. After 10 years of trading in the US market, I have a phobia of holding a stock through earnings as it seems too unpredictable whether a stock will gap up or down. It is like holding a time bomb to me.
I would encourage all short term investors to adopt the habit of liquidating your positions going into earnings. However, if you are a long term investor, a 10% drop is still ok, as it may still come back and may even be a good opportunity to add on position if you think it is worth it. It is important to know your trading style.

FEAR NOT. UNLIKELY TO FALL BELOW 1.40 EX-DIV THIS WK. AS INVESTORS MEMORY IS USUALLY VERY 'SHORT' AND 'FORGIVING', IT MAY MOVE UP FM 1.40 DEPENDING ON STI. FEAR NOT.

It is obviously going down one straight line, no second consideration unless there are some good news that could come up to boost the confidence of future yields and returns.   I am not sure if there are anything waiting announcements.

GSp likely trying to go to $1.40 or below as many players are disposing their shares at the frustration of seeing lower profits.   Good time to sell first and buy back later ard say $1.35? | ||||

Macquarie Equities Research bullish on Genting Singapore Genting’s results and share price performance spurred many research houses to release reports on the stock, Macquarie Equities Research (MER) was one of them. In a report released on Friday evening, MER said that delving into the details will show that Genting Singapore actually saw a blowout quarter, which was negatively impacted by a low hold rate – a luck based issue (non operational). Adjusting for hold, EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) would have been $400mn. MER reiterated its Outperform view on Genting Singapore for the below reasons: Genting Singapore is a relatively less-loved Asian gaming name as it fits in a valuation abyss. Neither is it a yield play nor is it a growth play (as Singapore gaming has matured very quickly). In fact, MER’s analysis shows that at the current share price, the market is implying a 3% long-term growth rate…which gives you a sense for how negative the market is on the stock – i.e. assuming that GENS can generate almost no incremental growth from the excess cash. The question is: “What’s going to take Genting Singapore out of this valuation abyss?” - Japan. The market presently assumes that GENS has nowhere to invest its free cashflow and given the company is unlikely to pay a dividend means that it may get used in a return destructive manner. However, MER’s Japan Gaming Analyst believes that gaming legislation in Japan could get approved by late 2013. Genting Singapore also believes that there is a 70% chance of it getting approved. If this were to happen, the market’s expectation of growth from Genting Singapore would change dramatically. - Genting Singapore’s first quarter results was let down by non-operational factors, i.e. a lower hold rate in VIP. This depressed the topline and the EBITDA performance. Adjusting for the hold rate issue, performance was very strong. VIP turnover hit a record +38% year-on-year. The mass market business also showed mid-single digit growth which is a good performance. There is also upside in 2H13 as Genting Singapore starts to rationalise costs at Marine Life Park and drive efficiencies. Management did provide weak guidance on VIP which we do see as an issue. However, because casino operators in Singapore manage their own credit books – tightening credit for VIPs doesn’t result in lost revenue, just deferred revenues, which will return. MER thus reiterates its Outperfom 12-month target price of $1.85 assuming a 5% long-term growth rate. MER believes that the major catalyst to lift the target price will be Japan gaming as it will show the market that Genting Singapore has a better way to deploy its free cash than is appreciated.

In Aug last year when Mabel Lee, President of high stake gaming division was asked to leave as required by the relevant authority, I made several postings that RWS high-stake gaming revenue would suffer and I was being chided by many here. If any of you here is into casino high-stake gaming, please go and ask any high-roller you know their preference to play in RWS or MBS. The latest I can tell you is that the VIP and VVIP parking lots at RWS are always empty while those at MBS are always filled up. |

Today, about 30% of the volume done was borrowed and shorted. Just wonder how many has it been covered today. Can predict that the share price will  swing up & down very quickly due to these large amount of short term players. So no need to hurry  to sell at low or buy at high. | ||||

It's not bad luck. Most of the high rollers prefer to gamble at MBS.

This Q1 results reported only 0.96 cent EPS, That is less than one cent, but their dividends declared was 1 cent per share. It looks like deficit, but if next 3 quarters are better results, then I won't doubt its ability to pay future dividends.   Only if the next 3 quarters are bad, then sure no more dividends, I think.

why not.. they declare dividends before results.. but they know results before it is announced so it is already taken into account..... dividends declared sure will give one.. just whether future will have higher or lower or no dividends...

People will still gamble to provide income for Genting Sp. and various casinos worldwide. It was said they intended to open casino in Japan.   If this is true, then it is the best time for Japanese investors to buy now when the price is coming down, right?
