DiGi 3Q 2012 report





DiGi 3rd quarter for year 2012 report release today.  It's a good report with net profit up 7.84% and EPS up 7.98%.


What's an excited me is their dividend declared.  Total dividend = 4 cents (3rd interim div) + 8 cents (Special div) = 12 cents div (Single Tier).  Unexpected special dividend declared in this quarter as I thought should be 1Q next year 2013.  So, for the year 2012 up to 9 months, i.e. 3 quarters, total dividend is 23.8 cents [5.9 (1st interim) + 5.9 (2nd interim) + 4 (3rd interim) + 8 (Special)].
