SPH online classified business is slowly gaining ground as losses reduced from

Revenue from Property segment cushioned the fall in FY2016 total revenue.

Although Operating costs fell by 2.7% , Staff costs & other operating expenses form 57.7% of the total operating costs.

With declining revenue from Media segment & challenging economic outlook ,SPH might resort to cut staff & expenses to mitigate the fall in revenue.

Final & special dividend of $0.11 per share declared.

FY2016 total dividend of $0.18 per share which is $0.02 lesser than FY2015 & because SPH is the largest shareholding in my Portfolio, my total dividend FY2016 will be reduced.

  2. Fundamentals still looks good ,they need to rejuvenate the media business & they have huge cash reserves which can use for acquisition if the opportunity arises.
