[LATEST] KLSE Stock Best Dividend (UPDATED 20 MARCH 2020)

Everyone is under panic now.

Because of the recent escalation of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia, the stock has been reacting negatively so far.

As of the time of writing, Malaysia has recorded:

Death:           8
Total Cases: 1183





But for smart investors, we should stay calm, assess the situation and make a decision that will benefit us in the long term.

Do not ever buy or sell with your emotions.

With many stocks under pressure selling right now, we need to be careful not to follow the crowd.

What we need to do is to select the best companies (stocks) and buy in stages.

With the share prices going lower and lower, there are many stocks in bargains now.

I have compiled all the KLSE blue chips stocks and look at the dividend yield and some fundamental evaluations as well.

With the recent OPR cut, and expecting another rate cut in the coming months, the FD rate is at all-time low. Averagely is it about 3.0% for 12 months tenure now.

So investors may need to add some other investment that can possibly give higher dividend.

With so many stocks with good dividends, it is time to slowly add some to your portfolio.

Of course, always do your own research in terms of profits, management, future growth, economy of moat, PE, P/B and risk before you start to add anything.

E.g. We can see that some companies are still expensive in terms of Price/Book value.
Digi has a crazy P/B at 60.43. Too expensive for a telco company.

Maybank, Hong Leong, Axiata, Ambank look attractive.

If Public Bank hits 5%, it is a very good time to add.

Also always note that high dividend yield doesn't necessarily mean it is a good choice.

The criteria that I mentioned earlier plays an important role as well.

E.g. If the profits have been decreasing for the 4 quarters, it means that the business is not doing quite well. So the share price can continue to go lower.

This may not be as good as an overall gain.

Finally, also select stocks that have high quality in terms of fundamentals.

Dividend yield needs to be sustainable, so we always want to select companies that are profitable consistently. Refer to the financial report for more details before making any decision.

Cash is king today, so invest wisely.

Final note, please duduk rumah diam diam,

or diam selama-lamanya.

Happy Investing! 😉
