Perhaps they're not looking to sell!

HLG is a very good and extremely well managed company with a REALLY long history. I think its highly likely they will get through this (but not unscathed).
These are unprecedented time's and in my opinion it makes good common sense not to announce any dividend when they report next week. Keep their powder dry for a rainy day...because it could be raining for quite a while. I'll let TA tell me where the bottom is.
Well yes easy to say when you dont hold and dont rely on the dividend for income, it's a pure divvy income stock, not a growth company in any true sense, I for one would be extremely disappointed if no dividend was declared, a reduced one is fine but none at all would go down like a lead balloon and the market would react accordingly. PS-No we dont live in unprecedented times, check out how many died from the swine flu in 2009(Around 250k) what is unprecedented is the massive hype and overreaction.
When Jacinda raises the alert level and they have to close all their stores for the coming winter, the current share price will seem rather expensive. It's not a matter of if but when. We will not escape a complete shutdown. Painful months ahead I'm sorry to say.
WE are no different from UK, Australia and the US. We will be in lock down very soon. This is different from SARS, because COVID 19 has the potential to overwhelm healthcare resources, stay at home wash your hands and maybe we can keep the infection rate low enough so the health system can look after us all.
most retailers will be forced to shut shop in level 4 , malls might have to shut up level 3 . not much time left before we get there. hlg , kmd, bgr , etc etc etc face this reality
As a shareholder I hope they do not declare a dividend. Anyone have any comment regarding landlords coming to the party regarding rent? I assume if they close the malls HLG would not have to pay rent.
