Something interested i just picked while going through the Annual Report and Interim F/S.
The total free float available for public as at 30th Sep is 203Mn. Traded from 1st to 16th Oct is roughly 198Mn (Nearly 100%)
Shares Traded above current market price is nearly 110Mn (50% of the Free float
)
*Technically not many share holders left with profits to sell the share at cheap prices. I sensed interest in buying in latter part of Friday, if this continues next week, Definitely we can see something interesting.
@stockback - Chairman in the AR and Interims have said that their policy is to give 50% of the distributable profits has dividend. Hence, we could expect a dividend of more than 0.50 cents p/s.
Based on the current business context where they have placed my bet is 0.75 per share.
In India Price to book value of Piramal is 3 as at 14th May, where net asset value is Rs.31 and Market price is Rs.96.
Read this article to see how the share price growth happened for the Indian Company this year.
@Eranga87 - In Srilanka, We can not compare GLAS with other companies though it is tagged to “materials category”. Hence, as you have mentioned above Rs.15 (Net Asset Value 5*Price to book Value 3) is reasonable price for the share, Considering how the Indian company’s share price changed with new business opportunities and good performance.
Having said that, there is a long way to go and it depends on market sentiment as well !
