Mah Sing 3Q 2011 Result Summary

My own opinion:

Mah Sing is most likely to achieve more than 20c EPS this year and at least 25c EPS next year. The forward PE should be at least 7.76X, which is quite low in my memory. If I would like to hold for more than 3 years, Mah Sing definitely is one of my preferred stock. :) By the way, we can see a dilution effect from its ESOS and Convertible Bond. So, if we wish to include them in the dilution effect, the PE may be at a higher range. Nonetheless, as long as shares price is at lower range, then we will see a lower possibility the bond holder convert it to equity. :)
