Singtel may cut dividend for first time in 20 years, says DBS Research
Updated 1 hour ago
SINGAPORE - DBS Equity Research says Singtel may cut its "unsustainable" dividend rate to 13 to 15 cents per share for its next fiscal year starting April 2020 (FY2021) in order to maintain its credit rating, in a report out on Thursday (Oct 10).
Singtel has either maintained or raised its dividend every year for the past two decades. For its last financial year ended March 2019, Singtel paid a total dividend of 17.5 cents per share and said that barring unforeseen circumstances, it expects to maintain this rate for its current fiscal year (FY2020).....

If you start to worry about dividend cut, then my gut feel is you have stayed in the party for too long. Time to sell and move to another better company
Hmmm... I have 4,177 SingTel shares. Legacy from their IPO back in 19193.
Some of which I paid $3.60 per share..
and some were "given" by the Gov.
Yes, I am a buy and keep till someone else sorts out my estate type of "investor"...
During those days, ( much youger )... the motto was:
"Buy and throw the keys away..."

Yup, you are right - I sold all - IN at avg 2.9, OUT at avg 3.2. Not too bad with dividends.
However, moving fwd, I do worry abt the sustainablitiy of its dividends even pre covid-19, that's why I am not vested at current prices which are even lower than when I bought in 2018/2019. I learnt investing is abt constantly monitoring as circumstances may chg - it's not truly a passive income at all.

With the proceeds, Bharti Telecom will become a zero debt company.
Bharti Group and Singtel remains majority holder at 56.23%.

Stay home and stay safe, everyone.
My understanding of this:
Bharti telecom: 'debt free' (noted the quotes in the announcement)
Bharti airtel: still has debts
Bharti group and singtel: still owns part of Airtel which has debts
Sounds like sound and fury.

My question is where is the source of fund for aggressive expansion?
