DBS : Cut from H1 onwards from $0.33 to $0.18 per quarter for the next four quarters ($0.33*2 +  $0.18*2 = $1.02)

Kep Corp : Cut H1 interim dividend from $0.08 to $0.03 ($0.12 + $0.03 = $0.15)

  1. And hence maintaining buffer of 2 years expenses helps to tackle negative sequence of dividends, not just -ve sequence of returns. ;)

    2. CW,

      Of course pain as dosage of Panadols got reduced...

      Lucky big daddy got give out Wuhan virus Panadols. But next year whether got some more an open question?


      I've noticed over these several weekends, more people are probably using the free Panadols from big daddy to buy small appliances like fans, microwave/ovens, vacuum cleaners, 32 inches TV; etc.

      Good that they spend the Panadols.

      If they hoarded...
