I stick to my Intrinsic Value of RM3.60
The next catalyst will be the earnings in February, about 3-4 weeks from now.

Details on RM3.60 Intrinsic Value:
https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/bestStocks/2024-01-18-story-h-210403941-PBA_New_Intrinsic_Value_is_RM3_60

My track record is as below:
https://klse.i3investor.com/web/portfolio/mypf/193571

+19% to +20% at the portfolio level...

To clarify the meaning of the announcement below, it means the cost that PBA pay to Penang State Government is status quo at 3 sen per cubic metre of water treated.

This is a good news to PBA because revenue increase (from tariff hike) but cost more or less same (maintain at 3 sen per cubic metre to state government).

Water Intake Fee = Amount PBA pay to state, NOT the water tariff or revenue to PBA.

PBAHB wishes to announce that Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang Sdn. Bhd. (“PBAPP”), a subsidiary of the Company has on 19 December 2023 received a letter from the State Government of Penang informing that the Water Intake Fee for year 2024 to 2026 shall remain at the rate of 3 sen per cu.m based on the annual actual production volume.

NVDIA reached another All Time High...
594.91 USD
+23.84 (4.17%)today

Key question to think is:

Out of 1000 stocks listed in Malaysia, why NVIDIA only interested to do business with YTLPower?

Why does the CEO Jensen Huang spent 1-2 days to come to Malaysia? Their 1 day time is worth USD million OK...

NVIDIA share price rebounded,

Price: 571.07 USD
Change: +10.54 (1.88%)

On and off weak hands will somehow find some fear reason to sell (e.g. NVIDIA dropped to USD550 at one point this week) but strong hands hold on because they know the true value of NVIDIA.

OTB is right, if you know your intrinsic value of a stock, you should ignore daily price movement

Hi all, my new Intrinsic Value is RM3.60 for PBA. Full details in the link below.

https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/bestStocks/2024-01-18-story-h-210403941-PBA_New_Intrinsic_Value_is_RM3_60

According to YTLPOWER Annual Report 2023, page 112, it has 6.64 million square meter of land in Kulai Johor,

To build data center, obviously you need big piece of land. After completed, it consumes a lot of electricity and water. YTLPOWER has land and generates electricity. Water Wessex in UK that's why they buy some stake in RANHILL.

https://www.ytlesolutions.com/iims2/ytlcommunity/upload/financialreports/YTL%20Power%20International%20Berhad_Annual%20Report%202023.pdf

If you think that AI is a human, then Data Center is the blood.

No Data Center = No AI.

AI theme is just the beginning, NVIDIA gained 3% overnight to reach USD563.82 which is an ALL TIME HIGH.

@Dragon, as long as price is significantly below its intrinsic value, still worth investing.

YTLP up down daily is normal because in short term market sentiment change everyday but value will prevail in the long run.

Huat together!

"The big money is not in the buying and the selling, but in the waiting." - Charlie Munger

I stick to my target of RM2.50 for PBA which has not taken into account any potential tariff hike in 2024.

https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/bestStocks/2023-11-09-story-h-215206834-PBA_6_reasons_why_PBA_is_worth_RM2_50

btw, I still keep YTLP as I expect more upside. AI story seems to have just started...

@dragon, can check out:
1. SHANG (I expect strong Q4 result due to strong hotel occupancy rate + higher price, balance sheet super strong net cash)
2. APM (Again, strong Q4 result, balance sheet super strong net cash)

Insas seems undervalued by net cash/NTA valuation but also need to ask these questions:

1. What is the future prospect? Can next year earnings grow substantially (my standard at least 10%)?
2. How about the free cash flow? Will it grow in the future? + Has it grown higher historically.
3. What is the management planning to do with the extra cash ... return to shareholder? Or invest in new growth busienss? Or invest in efficiency enhancement of existing business?

Planned water works completed ahead of schedule; some taps flowing in Penang

GEORGE TOWN: Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow and the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) have earned all-round praises after water supply resumed in several parts of Seberang Prai and Penang island after all planned water works have been completed ahead of schedule.

Since late last night, social media has been abuzz with water recovery updates.

PBAPP chief executive officer K. Pathmanathan said they completed all planned water works at the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and 22 other locations ahead of schedule yesterday.

He said the stage one of the water supply recovery plan commenced from 11pm yesterday.

https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2024/01/999799/planned-water-works-completed-ahead-schedule-some-taps-flowing-penang

Worst case scenario +RM10 to water bill for B40 which is already very small chance to happen.
Again worst case scenario only husband working with RM1500 salary, what is the % of increase against salary?

RM10/RM1500 = 0.7%

Many Penang people earn more than RM1500

Examples:
Minimum salary class RM1500: Impact =10/1500 = 0.7%
M40 people RM5000: Impact = 10/5000 = 0.2%
T20 people RM10k salary: Impact = 10/10000 = 0.1%

Which one is worse... old pipe not replaced causing no water 1-2 days a year or pay extra 0.5% on average of your salary so that whole year can get water?

Fundamentally strong company

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)

Close Price: USD522.53

+6.43%

NVIDIA surge 6%!
YTLPOWER continues to benefit from AI and Data Center theme!

I stick to my target of RM2.50 for PBA which has not taken into account any potential tariff hike in 2024.

Hi TanKW,

My pick for 2024 are:

PBA 30%
INARI 10%
UEMS 10%
MYNEWS 10%
AVALAND 10%
SHANG 10%
TMCLIFE 10%
SPRITZER 5%
APOLLO 5%

Penang Chief Minister hinted at water tariff hike soon, The Star asked people to take water seriously...

I asked you to TAKE WATER STOCKS SERIOUSLY...


PBA is worth at least RM2.50 because my this value has not taken into account possible increase in tariff to all users. It only takes into account the tariff increase to industrial user which already came into effect 1-Jan-2023. Many factories in Penang already use water with higher rates since then, but since water cost is too little vs. overall cost, these factories still generate higher profit generally speaking.

Details on why PBA is worth minimum RM2.50

Good company with long term growth prospect and higher dividend year after year

I still think PBA is worth RM2.50 because my Penang friend still use water to shower this morning. Many factories in Penang also use water with higher rates than last year.

Uncle Koon, PBA PE is even lower because market has not noticed it yet.
Last quarter EPS is 11sen, times 4 = 44 sen.

Now trading at RM1.11, the PE is only 2.5x!

And the earnings is super solid because everyone in Penang and factories there use water everyday!
But not everyone buy property everyday...

Uncle, come read here...

Hi dragon, do you think YTL will acquire more stake in RANHILL (8x Forward PE) or other profitable water company like PBA (4x Forward PE)?

I wrote about Apollo when it was at RM4.08 back in April-2023, today already RM5.1

25% in 7 months, not bad!

Is Wessex IPO possible? Water utilities company in UK trading at very high PE more than 30x... YTLP PE only <9x.

Spritzer share price +5% this morning and become the top 10 gainers in Bursa. What happened? Let's check out here...

There are 2 major news about water industry today:
1. YTLPower's Wessex Water PBT before interest accrual turnaround to +RM121.6m in latest quarter from -RM3.0m in March-June quarter.

2. YTLPower may want to do IPO of Wessex Waters in in 2025-2026 which may fetch a valuation of over RM23 billion.

These are positive for water shares including PBA.

I continue to believe PBA is worth RM2.50 (vs. current price RM1.15).

Wessex Water PBT before interest accrual turnaround to +RM121.6m from -3.0m.

Potential listing of Wessex Waters in in 2025-2026 which may fetch a valuation of over RM23 billion

Water business is the future!

YTL and YTLP very powerful indeed!

The government views water as an economic opportunity.
