Hi Shuoyanz,

Just take note that the data is not entirely accurate, and Morningstar seems to have some dividend history missing. Hopefully this will change in the future.

Shareinvestor has a much better database IMHO.

Hi shuoyanz,

Great piece of tool !

But...................there are limitations..........

To really appreciate or demostrate its limitations - try changing your input data for UMS Holdings to only 4 years - from 2010 to 2013 inclusive - and see how different the outputs are compare to what you have got !

Also, on dividend payout, it was
FY2010 = SGD 5.00 cents
FY2011 = SGD 6.00 cents
FY2012 = SGD 5.00 cents
FY2013 = SGD 6.50 cents

Hello

It seems that UMS is a special case. I checked several other stocks and their dividends were recorded correctly. Apparently all dividends paid by UMS were recorded, but had been discounted by 20%.

Edit: The discount is quite possibly due to the share offer of 1 for 4.
