calvintaneng likes TSH to trade at a premium and at a multiple to its book value.

But, it is still trading at a discount to its book value. Why is the market valuing TSH thus?

Is it that calvintaneng is right and that the market is wrong?

But then, when has calvintaneng admitted he got it so wrong in NETX and his promoted 10 stocks that were the most undervalued a few years ago.

Outlook
Moving forward, we expect Nestlé to improve it GP margin back to prepandemic levels (around 34% whereas latest GP margin in 4QFY24 stood at 32.1%) attribute to the easing in raw materials price and effective cost measures.

Valuation
Upgrade to Hold with unchanged target price of RM132.60/share based on DDM valuation (k: 6.4%; g: 3.0%) due to the recent weakening in share price.

Writers find it useful to picture the reader they seek, and often they are hoping to attract a mass audience. At Berkshire, we have a more limited target: investors who trust Berkshire with their savings without any expectation of resale (resembling in attitude people who save in order to buy a farm or rental property rather than people who prefer using their excess funds to purchase lottery tickets or "hot" stocks).

Over the years, Berkshire has attracted an unusual number of such "lifetime" shareholders and their heirs. We cherish their presence and believe they are entitled to hear every year both the good and bad news, delivered directly from their CEO and not from an investor-relations officer or communications consultant forever serving up optimism and syrupy mush.

Tongher is well managed and profitable. It delivers dividends regularly and due to its low share prices (most of the time), the dividend yields are quite high (6% - 8%).

It is a cyclical stock. Those who bought this stock when its price was at a cyclical low should enjoy very good reward. This coincides with period when the EPS is low, the PE is obviously high and DY is high, compared to its historical trends. Those who bought when the price was at its cyclical high would have great difficulty recovering their losses or will take a long term to break even, even with the regular dividends received.

Current Prospect
Drilling Services Segment
Integrated Project Management Segment
Oilfield Services Segment Group

The positive outlook in the global oil and gas industry augurs well for the Group's financial performance. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group is optimistic that the financial performance for the financial year 2024 will be as promising as 2023. The group’s utilisation is expected to remain high in 2024, with some rigs contracted up to 2026.
Geopolitical risk that may result in uncertainty to oil supply and markets remains high. The oil and gas outlook fundamentals remain strong. The benchmark Brent oil price has remained around USD80 per barrel in recent months due to both improving economic prospects as well as lower inflation.
Currently, all six of the Group's jack-up drilling rigs are contracted. The Group is actively bidding for new tenders for local and international contracts scheduled to be performed in 2025 and beyond.
The i-RDC project is progressing and GAIT 6 is currently contracted with ExxonMobil. The Group is participating in tendering activities for 2024 and 2025.
Global competition for assets such as jack-up rigs remain heightened. Jack-up marketed utilisation in Southeast Asia and Malaysia remained at 100% and charter rates for the latest fixtures continues to be on an uptrend.
The improved industry outlook is expected to support stable performance of the oilfield services operation in China. Nevertheless, global and regional upstream oil and gas activities including in Southeast Asia continue its upward trend, with more exploration and development projects being evaluated, re-visited and sanctioned.
Major oil producers continue to increase their CAPEX in response to prolonged lack of investment in the past. In Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia, a number of new contracts have been awarded with more being tendered out.
The International Monetary Fund ("IMF") increased its projected global Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") growth rate for 2024 from 2.9% to 3.1%. U.S. Energy Information Administration ("EIA") is forecasting for global oil demand to increase by 1.4 million barrels per day to 102.4 million barrels per day in 2024.
On the supply side, OPEC+ and Saudi Arabia have increased their production cuts, offset by increasing supply from non-OPEC countries. As such, inventory changes and oil markets are expected to remain balanced.

Mr. XYZ owns a company that has plantations (planted and not planted), and other assets. In the early years, due to growth and expansion, the company borrowed and has sizeable debts. In fact, the total debt = total equity. The company generated consistent ROE of 5%. Its interest payments yearly was a certain amount.

It was then decided at the BOD that the company should pare down its debts. To do so, it will sell off a portion of the plantation (some unplanted and some unplanted). Doing so will realise a certain gain as these assets were acquired sometime ago and are now more valuable.

They sold off this asset and the cash was duly put to settle all the debts or a significant of their debts. This saved the company on the interest payments. Also, the company lost the income of the planted plantations which were sold. The company also plans to use some of the raised cash for capex involved in planting the raw plantation lands. At the same time, it too gave a portion of the cash to the shareholders who had been patiently waiting for some dividends for many years, though they did receive very meagre dividends almost every year.

Now, how do you value this company before and after the sale of some of the planted and unplanted plantations?
Will its revenues be higher, the same or lower, going forward? Will its earnings be higher, the same or lower, going forward? The latest "windfall" dividend, will this be sustainable or will it revert back to its meagre previous dividends? Will the company suddenly transform into a great company because it sold off some plantations, paid off its debts and raised some cash? Will its ROE changed significantly: for the better, the same or for the worse?

How do you price this company before and after the sale of some of its plantations?

Of course, Mr. XYZ realises the value of its land base. Should you project your value based on its future land value or based on its present ROE?

High dividend yield is not the only criteria we should look at, before investing in any stock. Most investors who got seduced by high dividend palm oil stocks last year, he or she would realise, the dividends last year can't cover the paper loss from the fall in share price until this year.

Exactly. Just ask calvintaneng a very simple question and wait for his answer.

calvintaneng asked everyone to buy TSH when it was RM 1.78, citing the big dividends that this company was going to distribute. Yes, they did receive their dividends, but alas, the share price dropped to RM 1.05. Did they make money? Ask calvintaneng.

Should you take the dividends or reinvest your dividends through the DRIP scheme?

I opine the better option is to reinvest your dividends through DRIP as Maybank's ROE was 9.6%, which is more than 2x that of the risk free interest rate.

10 Year from 2013 to 2022

Its revenues and PBT grew about 2% per year over this period.

Its average PBT margins was 22.5%.

Its average ROE was 10.7% and showing a downward trend. Its ROE in 2022 was 9.6%.

Its DPO was 80.5%. Thus, it retained only about 20% of its earnings.

Its DY in 2022 was 6.63%.

Over this period, it retained a total of RM 1.18 of its earnings and its share price rose RM 1.79 for the same period. Thus, $1 of retained earning is reflected fully in the rise of its share price.

During the 10 Yr, its BV per share grew from RM 1.721 to RM 7.127, as the company allowed its shareholders to increase their equity through DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment Program). Its NOSH grew from 8,645 million in 2013 to 12,054 in 2022.

Its P/B or P/NAPS fell from 1.9 in 2013 to 1.2 in 2022.

From 2013 to 2022, its capital appreciation in share price was RM 1.79 and it distributed RM 4.907 in dividends, increasing the value of the initial investment by RM 6.70. Given its initial price was RM 6.96 per share, this translated into a simple total gain of 96.3% for the period or a CAGR of 7%.

2014 - 2023 (10 years)

Its revenues, PBT and EPS grew consistently consistently but at a very slow rate.

PBTMs were maintained around 34.4%. Its PBT in 2022 and 2023 grew faster due to higher PBT margins in these years.

ROEs averaged 14.3% over the last 10 years. The 10 year trend showed a downward slope and its latest ROE in 2023 was 12.2%.

Its DPO ratio was 47.9%.

It retained RM 1.53 per share of its earnings (for maintainance or for future growth) and it increased its EPS by 10.59 sen over the 10 years, giving a return on retained earnings RORE of 6.9%.

Its share price in 2013 was RM 3.44 per share and in 2022 was RM 4.15, a positive change of RM 0.71 per share.

Quoting Warren Buffett, for every $1 retained by the company, this should be reflected in its share price. In the case for PBBank, it retained RM 1.53 over the 10 years and its share price had risen RM 0.71 per share.

For those who bought this share in 2013 at RM 3.44 per share, they would have gained RM 0.71 per share in capital appreciation and received total dividends of RM 1.28: a 58% gain over 10 years ( approximately CAGR of 4.68%).

Retaining about 52.1% of its earnings and having a ROE of 12.2% are still very encouraging for the owners of this stock.

At P/BV of 1.6, it is priced at a premium to most banking stocks. With its ROE trending downwards, we can expect its P/BV to remain at present level or to decline further but slightly.

For those who bought this share in 2014 at RM 11.37 per share, they would have gained RM 8.63 per share in capital appreciation and received total dividends of RM 4.27: a 100% gain over 10 years ( approximately CAGR of 7%).

Retaining about 65% of its earnings and having a ROE of 10.9% are encouraging for the owners of this stock.

Calvintaneng’s DELUSION OF GRANDEUR.

General

2 months ago | Report Abuse

Hope this article enlightens us on billionaires, especially with so many news of billionaires recently in our local press and social media.

Quality: The Good versus Bad Billionaires

Good billionaires emerge outside "rent-seeking industries."

Common rent-seeking industries are construction, real estate, gambling, mining, steel, aluminum, oil, gas and other commodity sectors that mainly involve digging resources out of the ground.

In these businesses, major players often spend their time extracting maximum rents from limited national resources by bribing politicians if necessary, not growing national wealth in innovative ways.

New names on the billionaire list can be a favourable sign. Looking at the scale of billionaire fortunes is not enough to reveal the extent of their political vulnerabilities.



Comparing the share of the wealth generated by "bad billionaires."

To make a qualitative judgement about the sources of great fortunes, compare the total wealth of tycoons in these corruption prone businesses to that of all billionaires in the country.

This no doubt miscasts many honest mining and oil tycoons, but even in nations where these industries are relatively uncorrupt, they tend to make weak contributions to productivity and to tie the economy to the volatile swings of commodity prices.



Good billionaires

This label is for tycoons in industries that are known to make the largest contributions to growth in productivity or that make popular consumer products, like smartphones or cars.

These "good" industries are the ones least likely to generate backlashes against wealth creation; they include technology, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and telecoms, as well as retail, e-commerce and entertainment.



How are nations generating their wealth?

Analysing billionaires does offer anecdotally telling, real-time evidence of how nations are generating wealth.

Countries with small percentage of bad billionaires
Among the largest developed economies of 2019, bad billionaires controlled the smallest shares of billionaire wealth: in Italy (7%) and France(9%) - a good sign for both countries.

Only 13% of Swedish billionaire wealth originates in rent seeking industries. Much of the rest is created at globally competitive companies, including H&M in fashion and IKEA in furniture retailing.

Countries with large percentage of bad billionaires
Few new or good billionaires are to be found in nations like Turkey or Russia, where aging regimes have turned away from reform and promoted favoured tycoons. The undisputed capital of connected tycoons is Moscow. Nearly 70% of Russian billionaire wealth comes from bad billionaires. The Kremlin treats billionaires with contempt, arbitrarily changing rules that govern their businesses knowing the public has little sympathy for a billionaire class widely perceived as corrupt.

Popular resentment against great wealth is palpable in Mexico as well, where bad billionaires also control close to 70% of billionaire wealth. Mexican tycoons are known for cornering industries such as telephones and concrete, which earn monopoly profits for their owners while driving up prices for consumers.

Bad billionaires typically arise in family empires, particularly in the emerging world, where weaker institutions make it easier for old families to cultivate political connections.

Over the last 10 years, the price of THPlant contracted from RM 1.80 to the present level.
If you study the prices of many companies, you will soon realise that it is not uncommon for a stock price to rise 50% from its lowest price and the drop its equivalent 1/3rd from its high in a 52 week period.

It is high claim to be able to buy at the lowest price and to sell at the highest price. At best, one can buy close to the lowest price and to sell close to the highest price. Also, at the lowest price and at the higest price, generally only a few transactions occured at those prices.

It is important to distinguish between what is the fluctuation in the market prices and not confuse this to be the prediction of a "genius".

Once again, do not be fooled by noises generated by the forumer from Singapore. He is more like a snake oil salesman than an investor.

Yes, the CPO prices were high in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Many estate owners enjoyed huge profits.

Today the CPO prices and profit margins have normalised to those before 2021.

If you must buy a good plantation stock, look at United Plantation. It is very well run, highly profitable. Its ROE has been consistent and high.

As for JTiasa, it was a gruesome company. Most gruesome company remains gruesome. The reason it is trading at a discount to its NAV is obvious.

These words of wisdom from Benjamin Graham

In an interview shortly before he passed away, Graham provided us with these words of wisdom:

The main point is to have the right general principles and the character to stick to them.… The thing that I have been emphasizing in my own work for the last few years has been the group approach. To try to buy groups of stocks that meet some simple criterion for being undervalued—regardless of the industry and with very little attention to the individual company.… Imagine—there seems to be practically a foolproof way of getting good results out of common stock investment with a minimum of work. It seems too good to be true. But all I can tell you after 60 years of experience, it seems to stand up under any of the tests that I would make up.

That interview took place thirty-five years ago. Yet we still have an opportunity to benefit from Graham’s sage advice today.

I wish you all—the patience to succeed and the time to enjoy it. Good luck.

Over the last 10 years, the revenues grew about 4% early and the PBT grew at a slightly faster rate of about 6.9%. This indicated its profit margins had improved. Over the 10 years above, its PBT Margin increased steadily from 8.3% to 12.5%.

Its NAPS (Net Asset Price per Share) grew from RM 4.603 per share to RM 9.112 per share. F&N is a great company, with high ROE in the mid teens. Its ROE for the above 10 years period ranged from low of 12.9% to a high of 19.4%; averaging 15% to 16%.

Given the risk free interest rate of 5% or so, its present price of RM 29.2 per shar means it is trading at a P/NAPS of 3.01 x. This valuation means it is trading at a fair price today.

F&N has distributed dividends yearly. Its DPO was around 52% to 56%. Its latest DY is 2.68%.

In summary, F&N is a great company, growing at a slow rate of 5% to 7% yearly. It retained about 50% of its earnings for future growth and with its ROE at around 15% or so, and many new projects for future growth, this stock in my portfolio remains for the long term.

Just pointing to calvintaneng the difference between truth and lies. Good morning.

It is truly remarkable, the power of compounding and the ability to identify these companies with earnings power over the long term.

Do you know that DLady was priced RM 1.60 per share, Nestle RM 6 to RM 8 per share and Petdag RM 2.00 per share in the 1990s?

Look at their latest annual dividends:
DLady 50 sen per share
Nestle RM 2.62 per share
Petdag 76 sen per share

Those who have acquired these companies and still holding them till today, look at the returns of these dividends based on the historical costs. [Hint: better than "a-long rates, and not including the share price capital appreciation.]

The prices of these stocks have dropped from their highest and DLady has dropped a lot. There are various reasons for these. How you exploit these opportunities depend on how you approach your investing. Regards.

TOP 10 OVERSOLD STOCKS TO BUY NOW WHILE STILL VERY CHEAP! (Calvin Tan Research)
https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/www.eaglevisioninvest.com/130378


calvintaneng peppered this forum with so many posts. The above is one of his many posts.

When Bonia went up over the last 2 years, he crowed. But, the truth is, from the above post, calvintaneng is selective in highlighting his "winners" when in fact, he had so many "losers" which he conveniently hid tightly.

At least, calvintaneng should comment how wrong he was when he recommended these 10 stocks which he considered very undervalued and got these so wrong. That shows integrity.

Don't be fooled by the promoter that TSH is worth a lot of money and will be realised soon, due to its plantation assets in Nusantara. The Indonesian government has acquired and allocated substantial land areas for their new capital in Nusantara. There are plentry of land available for growth in that region. The new capital will definitely cause the prices of land in its immediate region to rise. Those located a few miles away or many miles away, will still need to wait for development to reach its borders. This pattern has been the case and is nothing new.

A group of investors bought land near a medium size city in Canada. 30 years later, they were disappointed. The appreciation in land price was miniscule. Why? There were so much vacant land available, thus price rises minimally.

Stock 2004 2024
UMW 2.50 5.00 (taken private)

Petdag 3.50 22.00


Just pointing to calvintaneng the difference between truth and lies. Good morning.

It is truly remarkable, the power of compounding and the ability to identify these companies with earnings power over the long term.

Do you know that DLady was priced RM 1.60 per share, Nestle RM 6 to RM 8 per share and Petdag RM 2.00 per share in the 1990s?

The prices of these stocks have dropped from their highest and DLady has dropped a lot. There are various reasons for these. How you exploit these opportunities depend on how you approach your investing. Regards.
