The challenge of using relative valuation is choosing the peers. Many compare them with companies in the same sector. But companies have different strategies and different business models even if they are in the same sector. Is there an alternative way to choose? Damodaran opined that it may be better to compare with companies with same cash flow patterns and risk profile rather than just those in the same sector. This is because these factors determine the value of a company. One way to put Damodaran idea into practice is to check for the correlations. If say the revenue is not correlated, you should question why select them as peers. Take the example of Handal. Over the past 13 years, there is a 0.71 correlation between Handal revenue that the median revenue of the Bursa oil & gas companies. In this case comparing its PE or PV with the sector may make sense. Except that in Handal case, I would not bother as it was only profitable half of the time over the past decade. Its average ROE was a negative 15%. Why spent time analysing Handal when there are better performing Bursa oil & gas companies? https://focusmalaysia.my/the-benefits-of-high-oil-prices-have-not-trickled-down-to-bursas-og-services-sector/
Handal Energy plans capital reduction, private placement and bonus warrants By Anis Hazim / theedgemalaysia.com 15 Sep 2023, 11:02 pm
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 15): Offshore crane services provider Handal Energy Bhd is planning to undertake a RM90 million capital reduction to eliminate its accumulated losses, followed by a private placement involving up to 40% of its issued shares to raise RM9.7 million to repay its borrowings and trade payables, and an issuance of bonus warrants.
The group’s accumulated losses as at June 30, 2023 stood at RM102.6 million at the company level, and RM68.1 million at the group level, which it plans to reduce to a loss of RM13.1 million (company level), and a retained profit of RM21.4 million (group level), following the capital reduction.
Its proposed placement, which could involve the issuance of up to 266.43 million shares to third-party investors to be identified, would be priced at a discount of at most 20% to the company's five-day volume weighted average market price of its shares immediately before the price fixing date.
It expects to fix the issue price of the placement shares, which could be issued by tranches, separately. Based on its illustrative issue price of 9.13 sen per placement share, Handal could raise as much as RM9.7 million from the exercise, of which RM9 million would be used to repay its trade payables and bank borrowings (RM4.5 million each).
The warrant issuance, meanwhile, will be undertaken after the private placement on the basis of one warrant for every two existing shares held on an entitlement date to be announced later. It expects to be issuing up to 186.7 million warrants. If fully exercised, the warrants could raise another RM22.41 million for the company, which is to be used as working capital.
The proposals, subject to approvals from Bursa Securities and Handal shareholders, are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2024.
Shares in Handal settled half sen or 4.35% lower at 11 sen on Friday, with a market capitalisation of RM29.34 million. The counter has fallen 26.67% year-to-date.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 29): Pelaburan MARA Bhd has denied claims of receiving any proposals from Handal Energy Bhd concerning an investment in redeemable non-convertible preference shares (RNCPS).
In a statement, Pelaburan MARA emphasised that no evaluation or confirmation regarding the RNCPS investment has been conducted.
"Pelaburan MARA will conduct rigorous evaluation and due diligence exercises pursuant to a formal proposal being made, in accordance with the procedures and to meet the regulatory requirements before making any investment decision," it added.
Pelaburan MARA said it would request Handal Energy to clarify the matter with all relevant parties to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Pelaburan MARA takes its reputation and the accuracy of reporting on its services seriously. We pledge to keep our stakeholders apprised of any significant developments in a clear and transparent manner," the statement read.
On Jan 18, Handal Energy, in a stock exchange filing, announced that its wholly owned unit Handal Floaters Sdn Bhd (HLFSB) had entered into a joint venture agreement with Hadid Oil and Gas LLP (HAG), establishing a limited liability partnership (LLP) for shared involvement in the early oil production field development programme, particularly Phase 1 of the Nipineftegas field development plan.
The agreement is subject to numerous conditions precedent, including the execution of an RNCPS agreement between HFLSB and Pelaburan MARA, with Pelaburan MARA subscribing to the RNCPS issued by HFLSB at an issue price to be determined later based on an issue size of US$5 million (RM23.64 million).
It also stated that the parties commit to obtaining necessary approvals and consent within three months, with the option to mutually extend for an additional three months if needed. If approvals are not secured within the stipulated time frame or any agreed extension, the agreement shall ipso facto cease, and neither party is entitled to claim costs, damages, compensation, or other claims, except for any antecedent breach.
