SPH will never be privatised. It serves a bigger need - to continue to control the message on
national issues which build up support for the PAP and its competence. It's just a political
party's inhouse newsletter made available to the public. And paid for by sucker sinkies who
buy their shares.

They will not take private. In fact they will make you shareholders cough out more capital by issue rights...then use the money to buy other businesses...eg.Mediacorp or property guru, 99.co, etc...

Properties is their core business. Media "department" exists to serve the party's needs.
That is why they fear social media.

Good point. SPH uses other businesses to subsidise their media business. But their other businesses are not something unique which others cant do. So SPH will continue to be in trouble. Their NAV is abt $2.45, so its is trading abt 50% of NAV. I feel that SPH, like PAP, is living on past glory and will ultimately die unless subsidised by gahmen

SPH is dead under PAP's paper general NYC. His business strategy for SPH is print media, property, students accommodation, aged care. These are saturated businesses. NYC has no new ideas. The only hopw is for OCBC and TH to take SPH private. It is on that premise that I am accumulating SPH. It is selling at 0.56 of NAV
SPH will make money if they buy up tuition centers and maid agencies

The Chairman and his wife of SPH Reits sold off their entire stakes in open market
two days ago. Do they know something we don't know yet? :thumbsdown:

SPH shares dropped to 1.07 today. Cheaper than the ST newspaper. The media business is all but lost cause.

Our gov agencies are pumping lots of money to SPH to take up premier advertising spots.
These are band aids that cannot stop the haemorrhage. To save the company, only solution is to replace the entire current senior management with real industry people from top notch foreign
companies. It's scary to read to profiles of the current management. CEO is ex general. Dy CEO is former civil servant from MOH and special assistant to LKY, Chief Commercial Officer is former journalist from newsroom, CFO is also ex military and friend of the CEO and last job was self employed fund investor, CTO is from Grab, unknown outside of the region, the list of mediocrity goes on and on.
