One need to understand Sapphire' s past, what they did in 2016 under Teh, former CEO, to comprehend why there is no dividend.    More importantly is the question of what is coming ahead. 
Serious investors don' t just look at figures for the sake of comparison, reading between the lines, looking beyond the figures would be a more accurate way of assessing a company.

Earning profit but never give div......
I am getting more using srs. Hopefully it pays off greatly in 1 - 2 years time. 
Yeah, the performance is very good so far, and it' s a " one belt" asset, got to catch it while still young.  The next phase should be greater expansion and hopefully there' ll be dividends.  Even if price goes down, it' s good to keep because of potential and quite solid financial performance.

Have been in this a month ago. The stock that will give me least worry. DYODD.
Dividend policy may change as a new board has been installed. There are signs that new owners have plans for expansion of biz. Vested.

Not sure which subsidiary you are referring to.    Sapphire is a potential company that may be taken over, think their order books also show promise.  It' s just that the share price is not moving up so much, which seems puzzling.  But I think for long term, this seems a good company to invest in.

SGX-Listed Sapphire Secures RMB 280 Million (S$57M) Contracts for Chengdu Metro Line 18
Singapore, 11 December 2017 ? SGX Mainboard-listed Sapphire Corporation Limited (?Sapphire? or the ?Group?) announced today that its subsidiary Ranken Railway Construction Group Co. Ltd. (?Ranken?) has won three new rail transit contracts worth a combined RMB 280 million (S$57 million) in its home city of Chengdu.
The main contracts chiefly involve the construction of two tunnels of close to 3km long between Fuzhou Road Station (福 州 路 站 ) and Xinglong Station (兴 隆 站 ) and certain open cut earthworks along the metro line, worth approximately RMB 253 million (S$52 million).
For its other contracts worth RMB 27 million (S$5 million), Ranken will supervise the construction of the line?s second phase, spanning 25km of tracks, from Sancha Station (三 岔 湖 站 ) to Terminal 1 and 2 of Tianfu International Airport Station (天 府 国 际 机 场 T1/T2 站 ).
All these contracts will be fulfilled between the financial years ending 31 December 2018 to 31 December 2020. The new projects are expected to have a positive impact on the Group?s earnings per share and net asset value per share for these periods.
Mr Teh Wing Kwan, Group CEO and Managing Director of Sapphire, said: ?Whilst there has recently been news about halting major infrastructure projects in China?s smaller towns, Ranken continues to win major jobs in the main cities.?
?Apart from the recent contract wins, Ranken remains busy in other bidding preparatory works as well,? added Mr. Teh.
Ranken had previously secured contracts to provide design consultancy services and supervision of partial construction of Chengdu Metro Lines 8 and 17, respectively. The Group existing order book is approximately RMB 3.4 billion (S$702 million).

Keep dropping.....to sell or to buy more....
Think there is something we all don' t know.....
Think there is something we all don' t know.....
BB push to accumulate low again? Dont care. Not much to worry when major shareholders just bought at a premium higher than 0.3. Huat.
Price of HKCICM has dropped about 30% since the 19 October, so the share swap at today' s price would value Sapphire at 35 to 36 cents rather than 51 c then.    I would still want to pursue Sapphire for the long term, though price don' t seem to be heading north at any time now.
