SPH is more than fixed deposit

Would you consider investing in a company that gives you the following?

Company's last closing share price - $4.48.
  1. The company is earning 32cts per share for you.
  2. It is paying out 26cts per share as dividend. This is equivalent to a gross yield of 5.8% per annum (against share price). Compare that with how much are you getting from your fixed deposit or saving accounts?
  3. The company is in a business of selling necessities ie. information and entertainment distributed over various channels ie. newspapers, magazines, internet etc etc etc.
  4. Generating positive cash flow of $40mio.
  5. Topline grew by 13.6%.
  6. Profit attributable to shareholders grew by 18.1% to $506mio.
P/S - I have some CPF monies in SPH trying to beat the current 2.5% interest rate for the ordinary account.
