DPS - 1.35/=
EPS - 1.35/=

You should be very worried!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

BAT also pays out 100% of the EPS. Though to be fair, TPSEA is in a very different business vs BAT.

They can only do this if they have some confidence going forward... like total did, when they paid a dividend of 0.20 after making a loss, 2 yrs ago.

At last year's AGM they hinted to a rights issue to cover the planned Nairobi Serena expansion. Could they be trying to prop up the price in anticipation of this?

BAT have NOTHING to do with money. It is a fully mature company with no immediate capital expenditures.

TPS NEEDS money. This decision was made for a singular reason. Shore up the share price!

TPS management is attempting stick-saving aka bag holding aka PPT. But if support at 30/- is broken, the downside aims 20 last seen early 2009 when GFC was at its strongest.

That rights issue reason makes a lot of sense....

This is bad...really bad. Never buy a company posting declining earnings from its core business. NEVER
A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.
