No circuit breaker?

Wah... drop 10%..   market dun like the news.....
Just a few questions for them
1) how will they plan to turn Singapore flyer profitable and into a cash cow like other business? It is well known that the business has been languishing for a while
2) their financial results always boast that they are debt-free and have a cash hoard of $99m (if I rmb correctly). Flyer is going to cost $140m. How will their dividend policy change? Previously dividend was gaining year on year.

Probably share price drop upon lifting 
 
BUT this is a good news:
1) Synergy with Straco business
2) STB will probably sell at cheap price since this wheel is a loss-making business anyway

Why buy a loss-making operation :( 
Hopefully the dividend every year remain intact even with this $140 million purchase.
Should depend on how much they pay for it. Sometime, can get a good price and add value to redevelop it like hotel or mixed development. If they really depend on that big Wheel, I think it can " goes stun" but frankly do you think they are so stupid. Only impact is their revenue high, profitability is anyone guess.

The Group' s strong balance sheet with gross cash of more than S$100mn can therefore continue to pay attractive dividends, reinforcing the valuation method of a divdend discount.  
The stock remains attractive despite recent gains - No change in my price target (see My Stock Picks Yield section).
 
InvestNotTrade : That make perfect sense as it seems too crazy to be true! -)
when i see $0.67 in the morning, the volume is only 2 lots. so don' t read too much into it. maybe some overzealous buyer did an error trade or something.

Wow! Looks like the horse is running super fast early in the morning! Shoot up to $0.67 when open today and now trading at $0.615.
Anyone has any idea the reason(s)?
Straco Corporation 4Q13 results came in at the higher end of estimates, as net profit surged 79% to $5.6m taking FY13 net profit to $34.1m (+73%). Revenue for the quarter grew 32% to $14.6m, led by increased visitation to its two aquariums, where combined visitation grew 17.1% to 0.59m visitors. Bottom-line was buoyed by other income which jumped 21.2% to $1.3m, due to higher retail concessionaire income and certain government subsidies and cash awards received by the group's two aquariums. Overall operating margins grew further to 59.0% vs 45.8%. Going forward, Straco guides that domestic tourism is expected to continue growing with the nation?s increasing affluence and accessibility, which augurs well for the Group. The first China Tourism Law, which came into effect in Oct?13, is reshaping the domestic travel industry, and has increased the number of higher-yielding free independent travellers (FITs) to Straco?s attractions since its implementation. Overall, the group?s fundamentals remain solid with a whooping net-Cash of $108.1m (12.8c per share), representing 26.4% of market cap. At the current price, Straco trades at just 8.8x FY13 ex-cash P/E. The group has declared total dividends (First and final + special) of 2c per share (FY12: 1.25c per share) Latest broker ratings as follows: CIMB maintains Add with TP $0.61
wa formatting so screwed up. let me try again
- Cumulative revenue grew 32% to $72.8 million 
- Cumulative net profit surged 72.8% to $34.1 million 
- Debt free since 2008 
- Operating cash flow of $35.7 million generated 
- Proposed first and final dividend of 1.25 cent per share + special dividend of 0.75 cent per share 
  EPS of 4.01c --> P/E around 12
NAV of 19.07c --> P/B around 2.5 (on the high side)
Div of 2c ---> Yield of 4+ %
Still got potential for the next few quarters! Increasing volumes recently, buying interest!
  Do your research on this company, promise the fundamental for this company is solid
