PBA Holdings Bhd (KLSE:PBA) Will Pay A Dividend Of MYR0.0225
Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.
Even a low dividend yield can be attractive if it is sustained for years on end. However, prior to this announcement, PBA Holdings Bhd's dividend was comfortably covered by both cash flow and earnings. This means that most of what the business earns is being used to help it grow.
Looking forward, earnings per share could rise by 59.3% over the next year if the trend from the last few years continues. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 6.1%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.
Check out our latest analysis for PBA Holdings Bhd
The company's dividend history has been marked by instability, with at least one cut in the last 10 years. Since 2015, the dividend has gone from MYR0.0375 total annually to MYR0.045. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 1.8% per annum over that time. It's encouraging to see some dividend growth, but the dividend has been cut at least once, and the size of the cut would eliminate most of the growth anyway, which makes this less attractive as an income investment.
Given that the dividend has been cut in the past, we need to check if earnings are growing and if that might lead to stronger dividends in the future. PBA Holdings Bhd has seen EPS rising for the last five years, at 59% per annum. Earnings per share is growing at a solid clip, and the payout ratio is low which we think is an ideal combination in a dividend stock as the company can quite easily raise the dividend in the future.
Overall, a dividend increase is always good, and we think that PBA Holdings Bhd is a strong income stock thanks to its track record and growing earnings. Distributions are quite easily covered by earnings, which are also being converted to cash flows. All of these factors considered, we think this has solid potential as a dividend stock.
Market movements attest to how highly valued a consistent dividend policy is compared to one which is more unpredictable. At the same time, there are other factors our readers should be conscious of before pouring capital into a stock. Taking the debate a bit further, we've identified 1 warning sign for PBA Holdings Bhd that investors need to be conscious of moving forward. Is PBA Holdings Bhd not quite the opportunity you were looking for? Why not check out our selection of top dividend stocks.

Earnings live: AMD, Rivian, Lucid, Snap, and Super Micro Computer stocks fall after quarterly results
Second quarter earnings season is in full swing, and the results have been largely positive so far, with more positive surprises than negative ones. Companies had a lower bar to clear coming into the quarter, as analysts tempered their expectations amid President Trump's tariffs, stocks' lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy. This week, investors will hear from Tyson (TSN), AMD (AMD), Snap (SNAP), McDonald's (MCD), Disney (DIS), Uber (UBER), Lyft (LYFT), Palantir (PLTR), and more when they report results. Data from FactSet published Friday showed that with 66% of the index having reported results, analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report a 10.3% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter. Heading into the quarter, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, which would mark the slowest pace of earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2023. Here are the latest updates from corporate America. Opendoor stock plunges on earnings after meme stock rally Opendoor (OPEN) stock sank precipitously following earnings. Shares of the iBuyer platform, which has become a retail investor darling in recent weeks, dropped as much as 19% despite beats on the top and bottom lines. The stock went on a wild ride in July as retail trader enthusiasm and a thesis from investor and Carvana spotter Eric Jackson bid up shares. Over the past month, Opendoor stock has climbed over 300%. That might be partly why the stock is selling off on the earnings news. The company reported a loss per share of $0.01 for the quarter, compared to estimates for a loss per share of $0.03. Revenue grew 4% annually to $1.6 billion, also above Wall Street analysts' expectations for revenue of $1.5 billion. For the third quarter, Opendoor forecast revenue from $800 million to $875 million. Snap stock drops on weaker-than-expected revenue growth Snap (SNAP) stock declined nearly 15% after Snap reported its slowest revenue growth in more than a year. The Snapchat-parent's net loss in Q2 increased to $263 million from $249 million a year ago. Second quarter revenue rose 8.1% to $1.34 billion, largely in line with estimates.

Super Micro stock tanks after quarterly revenue miss Super Micro Computer (SMCI) stock plunged 15% after the company's fiscal fourth quarter revenue fell short of estimates amid intense competition for AI server makers. Here's what Super Micro reported against Wall Street consensus estimates compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence: Lucid misses on both top and bottom lines, trims production forecast Yahoo Finance's Pras Subramanian reports: Read more here. Rivian reports mixed Q2 results, widens 2025 loss projection as tariffs and loss of EV tax credit bite Tariffs and other policies weighed on Rivian's (RIVN) bottom line in the second quarter. For the quarter, Rivian reported a $0.97 loss per share, compared to $0.77 expected, per Bloomberg consensus estimates, with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $667 million versus $493 million expected. The EV maker also did not report a gross profit. Rivian reported revenue of $1.303 billion, compared to $1.28 billion expected and $1.158 billion a year ago. The company also widened its full-year loss projection but increased its EBITDA guidance. Yahoo Finance's Pras Subramanian reports: Read more here. Rivian Q2 earnings preview: EV tax credit impact, R2 SUV update on the agenda Pure-play EV maker Rivian (RIVN) has been building toward profitability, but the loss of federal EV tax credits expiring at the end of September will likely hurt the company's ability to scale up sales.

Yum Brands stock falls amid underperformance in the US Yum Brands (YUM) stock fell over 3% on Tuesday after an earnings miss and weaker-than-expected sales in the US amid a tougher consumer environment. "Even with a solid overall top line performance, we have opportunities to improve performance in underperforming regions such as the US and parts of Europe, where challenges stem from gaps in value perception, inconsistent consumer experience, and innovation that has not fully resonated with consumers," Yum Brands CEO David Gibbs said on the earnings call. The Taco Bell parent company reported earnings per share of $1.44 adjusted versus $1.46 expected, according to estimates compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue for the quarter hit $1.93 billion, roughly in line with the $1.94 billion expected. US same-store sales for KFC and Pizza Hut fell 5% year over year. US system sales for Taco Bell grew 6%. Lemonade stock jumps on solid guidance Lemonade (LMND) stock jumped 8% in premarket trading as the insurance company kicked off its earnings call and reported a narrower loss than expected. In the second quarter, Lemonade posted a loss of $0.60 per share. Analysts were expecting an $0.80 per share loss.

Caterpillar warns of up to $1.5 billion tariff hit, profit misses on weak demand Caterpillar (CAT) is expecting a bigger hit from tariffs in the third quarter and the rest of 2025 than it initially projected, as President Trump's tariffs hit the industrial and manufacturing segment especially hard. The company flagged a tariff impact of $400 million to $500 million in the third quarter and $1.5 billion hit from costs tied to US tariffs in 2025. Caterpillar was able to offset some of the higher tariff costs; however, higher interest rates and a slowdown in US construction activity led to a pullback in demand for its products. The heavy machinery manufacturer reported adjusted earnings per share of $4.72 on revenue of $16.6 billion. Analysts were expecting adjusted EPS of $4.90 on revenue of $16.3 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Caterpillar stock fell less than 1% in premarket trading.

Revenue per room increased 1.5% globally during the quarter. For the full year, Marriott forecast room revenue growth of 1.5% to 2.5%, moving its previous higher-end estimate of a 3.5% increase lower. 2025 adjusted profit is expected to be between $9.85 and $10.08 per share, also slightly lower than its earlier projection of $9.82 to $10.19 per share.

Indian components found in Russian drones used for Putin's war, Ukraine claims
Indian-made components have been discovered in Russian drones used for deadly attacks on Ukraine, one of President Volodymyr Zelensky's top officials has claimed. The Iranian-made Shahed drones containing Indian parts have been involved in attacks along the frontlines and against civilians, Ukrainian presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak wrote on Telegram. He called on the world to 'deprive Russians of the ability to receive components from other countries and stop the killing of Ukrainians,' according to Kyiv-based Ukrainian news agency UNN. 'Also, buying Russian energy resources is financing the war, which does not contribute to peace,' Yermak added. 3 Indian-made components have reportedly been found in Russian drones used for the war on Ukraine. REUTERS The White House and National Security Council didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post. The drone development comes as President Trump has threatened to slap new tariffs on India if it does not stop purchasing Russian oil. 3 Vladimir Putin has relied on relatively inexpensive Shahed drones for his war in Ukraine. via REUTERS 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday. Trump added on Friday that he was also seeking to impose new sanctions on Russia and any country that purchases its energy exports like crude oil and electricity. India, as the third-biggest oil importer and consumer in the world, has a high demand and draws one-third of its supply from Russia. A source from the Indian government noted that its purchases have helped balance global oil prices by easing the pressure on supplies from other regions. 3 More than 6,000 Shahed-style drones were launched at Ukraine last month alone. AP The relatively inexpensive Shahed drones that included the Indian-made components have become a crucial part of Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine since late 2022. Iran initially supplied 2,000 fully assembled drones to Russia, which soon established its own assembly system using Iranian ready-made components, according to Ukraine's Security Service. That number was quickly escalated, with more than 6,000 Shahed-type drones launched by Russia last month alone, according to figures from the Ukrainian air force. With Post wires

Marriott trims full-year forecast for revenue, profit as travel demand to US falters
Marriott International – the largest hotel company in the world – cut its full-year forecast for revenue growth and profit as travel demand in the US slows, the company said on Tuesday. Total room revenue in the US and Canada was flat for the second quarter, up just 1%, compared to a year ago, the Bethesda, Md.-based reported. The slowdown is mostly hitting its lower-cost hotels that include Marriott Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites, which were also hard hit by a 17% decline in bookings from government workers, the company said. 3 Marriott trimmed its revenue and profit forecast for the year as budget conscious travelers pull back on their spending. Cerib – 'The low end of the travel segment is underperforming across the board right now,' Morningstar analyst Dan Wasiolek said. 'There is still elevated inflation in areas of the economy that is impacting budget-conscious customers.' Marriott said it now expects 2025 revenue growth of 1.5% to 2.5%, below its previous guidance of 1.5% to 3.5% growth. It also lowered its profit guidance to $9.82 to $10.08 per share down, from $9.85 to $10.08. The company blamed 'heightened macro-economic uncertainty' due to trade policy changes. 3 The company blames 'macro-economic uncertainty' for a slowdown in travel to its US properties. Davizro Photography – Marriott's luxury hotel brands, including the Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis and JW Marriott, saw a 4.1% increase in room revenue in the US and Canada in second the quarter. The average room rate for luxury properties was $417 compared with $161 for its budget properties, according to Wasiolek. Marriott's total revenue rose 5% to $6.74 billion, fueled by its upscale properties and overseas business. The company did not address international tourism to the US but there have been widespread reports of a pullback in visitors from Canada, Mexico and other countries due to blowback over President Trump's tariffs. 3 Marriott CEO, Anthony Capuano, says the signing of One Big Beautiful Bill ended some of the uncertainty that had been a concern for the industry. Getty Images Marriott CEO credited the signing of Trump's Big Beautifull Bill into law last month, for helping to curtail uncertainty that had depressed business. 'In some ways, the best thing about [the bill] is that it's done. The level of uncertainty, both among consumers and among our owners and franchisees, improves meaningfully with the signature on that bill,' Capuano said on an earnings call.
