Hihi all understand the management and counter is proactive to par down debt but may i know when
can it go back to at least 50 cents please? Once hold 200000 shares at average price of 50 cents and paper loss more than 100K its too much for me to take 😪
Today the company only pays 13% of the dividend per share that it used to 10 years ago. Not sure I would call it a good dividend counter.
Good dividend counter. Very sustainable distribution although would like to see the debt come down further to below 1bil. Current management is very prudent in controlling expenditure and paring down debt.

Why is there a sell off this morning? Any bad news?
Not sure the DPU/debt trade off made much difference. Fundamentally the issue was that technological development meant its assets were worth far less than previously anticipated.
Don' t come back in if you are looking for capital gain.
For passive income, maybe. Any up in price is bonus.
I would say 12 or 13c is the max it can go from hereon.
Unless they acquire new promising business.
We are not insider, can' t answer why they didn' t reduce DPU & cut debt earlier.

Hihi all thanks for the comments for asia pay tv trust am an ex unit holder of asia pay tv trust hold 200000 shares at the time when 50 cents that time until it announce dividend cut from there all the way drop till current value. Its a bitter pill to swallow as lost almost 100K plus. May i know why the management at that point of time pay so much dividends and dont want to reduce debt yet after the price drop so much then reduce debt? Its there any hope the trust price will hit back slowly to at least 50 cents? From what i know its ipo price is almost 90 cents. Thanls all so much 🙏 🏻 🙏 🏻 🙏 🏻 🙏 🏻 🙏 🏻
Precisely, for those looking for capital gain, not much propspect.
Those after stable recurring income, still can consider this.
If can accept 9% or even 8% yield, there is still room for price to appreciate further.
Having said, ppl who bought at the low of 8c not too long ago,
are already sitting on capital gain of above 30% right now.

Not saying there is not upside, but there is real risk in trying to get it when the net debt is more than 5x the market cap.
APTT, a long-neglected counter, had seen some action of late.
Relatively speaking, trading activity as well as price, had went up considerably.
I do not know the reason for the recent attention it attracted. As far as its business is concern, there is hardly any prospect.
Their broadband sector though growing, is not enough to mitigate the drop in revenue from other sectors.
The only saving grace is their concerted effort in reducing their debts. They also no longer borrow for capex.
Funds are drawn from cash flow instead. Passed few years, they were able to pay back on average, about $60m yearly.
This first half year alone, they had paid back $40m loan. Remarkable to me.
Very soon, their off shore loan that attracts higher interest rate, will be fully redeemed.
Leaving only the much lower interest rate on shore loan. Interest payment will reduce as a result.
The money saved can either be used for more loan pay back or improvement on DPU.
Today highest share price was 10.5c. Sticking to current DPU of 1.05c will still give a yield of 10%.
That is the case, it would be better off to pay up more loan. As their finances improved, so will its share price.
More loan got paid up, more money saved. It will come a time when paying extra dividends become chicken feet.
The day of paying higher DPU will come eventually. Shareholders just have to be patient.

APPT lowered its NAV using DCF method amid rising interest rates in 2023. It may revise the valuation for its intangible asset if interest rate falls significantly. The midterm takeover if it is still in the pipeline will be easier before the revision.

Today at one time price went up by 0.5c!
Volume also relatively high.
People taken notice of this counter?

I guess this will one day be privatised.
But whenever takes over it will find it hard to manage profitably.

Since June, price has slowly moved up from 8c to today' s 9.3c.
Is more than 15% in roughly 2 months!
Any reason?
It seems nobody bother.

Share price is creeping up, almost unnoticed!

Asian Pay Television Trust
On Jun 10, Lu Fang-Ming, non-executive director and vice-chair of the trustee-manager of APTT, acquired 400,000 units of the business trust for a consideration of S$33,600 at S$0.084 per unit. The move increased his total interest in APTT from 1.23 per cent to 1.25 per cent. This followed his acquisitions of 263,600 shares at S$0.081 apiece in May and 319,400 units at S$0.077 apiece in April.
Lu served as corporate executive vice-president at Hon Hai Technology Group/Foxconn, following the acquisition of the intelligent hub and switch product ODM (original design manufacturer) company he co-founded in 2000. He was also chairman of Asia Pacific Telecom group, Taiwan&rsquo s fourth-largest mobile carrier, from 2014 to 2021.
On May 14, APTT reported revenue of S$59.4 million for Q1 FY2025. Foreign-exchange effects led to a negative variance of 3.8 per cent compared to Q1 FY2024, due to a weaker Taiwan dollar. On a constant Taiwan dollar basis, revenue declined by 2.7 per cent. APTT highlighted that broadband continued its growth momentum, adding approximately 8,000 new subscribers.
With slightly higher average revenue per user, broadband revenue rose by 7.8 per cent in Taiwan dollars and 4 per cent in Singapore dollars, despite adverse exchange rate movements. Revenue from data backhaul also accounted for around 4 per cent of total broadband revenue.
The CEO of the manager, Somnath Adak, noted that APTT is progressing towards its goal of growing broadband cash flows to consistently exceed the decline in basic cable TV. Adak added its strategy remains focused on aggressive subscriber acquisition, and leveraging industry networks to unlock long-term broadband growth opportunities.
