StarHub @ $2.59

Buy @ $2.59. Yield @ 7.722%. Seller CP '73' – Macquarie dumped 138 lots. 🙂

Latest results on 11-Feb. Although EPS = 4.69ct for Q410, Starhub have stated that they'll continue with the DPS = 5ct / Q for FY11. As I was worried about EPS being lower than DPS (I was expecting EPS to recover back to 5ct in Q410), I went to read the Cash Flow to check if they are depleting their Cash to pay out dividends. Some interesting points for FY09 vs FY10,

 – Cash : $234.2Mil (FY09) ; $237.5Mil (FY10) => +$3.5Mil

 – Debts : $895Mil (FY09) ; $805Mil (FY10) => -$90Mil

ie. Not Only do Starhub have enough cashflow for the Dividend Payout, but they even had extra cashflow to reduce their debts by $90Mil! I also looked at their CAPEX and there was no cutting down there either. The extra Cash Flow (to pay dividend) is coming from the Depreciation (a non-cash item). Let's hope I read the Cash Flow statement correctly. 😀
