Note: above write up is taken from APAC Realty Annual Report 2018
It appears that the company is on the move w various initiatives/events in 2018.
(see annual report 2018).
There was no let up in 2019 too w many initiatives taking place ...
1. Cambodia
2. Hainan
3.Thailand
4. Indonesia.
See earlier posting.
With these initiatives going on, it is hard to fathom what the company would be like in 2 to 5 years time. Should these initiatives prove successful, APAC Realty would be grossly under valued.
I am vested for the long term. In the meantime am look forward to the generous dividends w yield of 7 plus percent based on current price.
Noted ... company has a dividend policy of distributing 50% or higher of the company' s profit. Profit distributed for year 2018 was 66%.

Hi bluesky3000, pls noted that Apac 1Q result was much lower than previous year same quarter. This means that dividend to be declared will be lower n the p/e ratio will be higher. I expect dividend to be in the region of 2.0 to 2.5 cts per share giving a yield of around 5%
Apac Realty is a long hold for me. I believe that when the property market improve the share price is likely to go along w it. Another point is the off shore initiatives the company had taken. Once these come on stream, the financial results of Apac could be greatly boosted. But these are still unknown n one need to watch n see how these projects are coming along.
On the whole i am positive long term. Am quite heavily vested. Dyodd
