I’ve been holding Petronas Dagangan Bhd (PETDAG) shares for a few years now. PETDAG has been a stable performer in my portfolio. While it has not shot up as much as other Bursa Malaysia blue chip stocks over the last year, it also didn’t drop as much during the October 2008 market crash.
Seeing that it is going ex-dividend in early August, I decided to buy a few more shares. Much of Petronas Dagangan business is captive business. I believe it has a strong defensive “moat”, the type that Warren Buffett would be pleased with.
