Profits meet expectations but not dividends. Net cash was great and high at RM120m on 31 Dec 2020 but the controlling shareholder is so stingy as to give just 0.5sen or RM2.83m as dividend, again this quarter.

FY20 Q4 met expectation considered sharp increased of shipping cost (2-3 times) in Q4 which might not be able to pass thru. to customers. If not 12mil not an issues at all.

Good decision la.. Hevea is prudent in paying out Dividend during pandemic periods for FY2020.

Excess free cash flows can always be used to invest in more automation and products innovation.

Mushroom biz (not bad) is seemed growing well even though during multiple state MCO, CMCO and A-Z MCO..

Awaiting engine to re-ignite (once Heveapac quarantine is lifted), Target Price PB x 1.10 = 0.76 x 1.10 = 84c.

Actually why is the production constrained by foreign workers when new plants are set up across Msia in other industries? Why is the company not expanding its production capacity? Keeping so much cash aside without expansion is not justifiable.

It boils down to uncertain demand and low margin? Is the management doing a good job especially on increasing sales and penetrating new markets or are they just going thru the motion everyday?

This AGM, these questions must be asked.

In corporate finance, the objective is to maximise shareholders wealth. Wealth= mkt price x number of shares. Keeping excess cash and refusal to pay appropriate dividend has shaken confidence of shareholders. Banking stocks such maybk, pbbank are paying good dividends despite decline in profits. The mgt of Hevea...!!!!!?????

Hevea directors will be charged soon for providing foreign workers quarters “not fit for human dwelling”

Posted by PlayStation > Feb 27, 2021 9:18 AM | Report Abuse

Shall be charged if Directors not doing a good jobs to provide proper foreign workers accommodation and facilities within the accommodation.

No big deal but a big lesson to HeveaBoard. Don't follow "Top Glove" track to ill-treat foreign workers.

Just used the profit made to improve the foreign workers accommodation condition and comply the law accordingly.

A good "Media" wake up call to the Management Of HeveaBoard.

Good use of leftover chips from its factory. Cradle-to-cradle business approach. Nothing shall go to waste, not even the waste itself!

Koh Lim Chai, well said. For a company making latest quarterly eps of around RM0.18 on klse with huge net cash, this company is almost the lowest priced.

Good company. The payout div every year. Just that the news on 24th feb has caused the shakedown in price.

Posted by weirdvilante > Mar 1, 2021 4:50 PM | Report Abuse

at what support are you guys looking at ? 62cent ?

Posted by sense maker > Mar 1, 2021 5:23 PM | Report Abuse

At 62sen, dividend yield is 3.2%, pretty decent. Dividend upside to 3-4sen a year is there for FYE 2021 especially if net profits hold up above 1sen a quarter. The fear now is extension of Seremban factory closure beyond tomorrow, which will affect next quarter’s results more materially. 60-62sen look interesting a range to buy more.

Why should i accept DY about 3.2 % when Tenaga offers more than double the yield? Remember Tenaga is in essential services with inelastic demand and a mkt monopoly. I regret did not switch all hevea to Tenaga last week.

Genting maintained dividend amount even when there’s no biz at all, just to name one such company. The dividend decision of Hevea indeed destroys value. You can still switch out of hevea this week.

when i check tenaga, the price when down after dividend ann. until ex-date then price climb back to its original price during dividen ann. date. Is it normal for price to move down after dividen ann. ?

Dunno why ppl here keep on talking about Dividend and hold grudge on it..

Any tech stock pay a good dividend.. look at those tech stock's price..
Tech firm use profit to invest for growth.. So do HeveaBoard need to change..

The most important in Biz is always continue to invest for growth.. in which will reflect in share price eventually. Temporary bad news can be a good news to others..

What if Hevea going to invest in Glove Sector or Invest in fully automated furniture production line (to resolve foreign workers issue), Are you telling me the Dividend cut is a madness.

Free cash flows generated moving forwards is going to be very very attractive.

Many sectors can be explored with that kind of free cash flows, it is time HeveaBoard shall step forward to invest for growth. I am fully support. Ha.. ha..

Posted by sense maker > Mar 2, 2021 9:56 AM | Report Abuse

Shareholders want BOTH dividend as well as growth, needless to say, as its free cash flow and cash pile is more than enough for the dual purpose. Organic expansion and biz acquisition are both welcome.

Waiting HeveaBoard announcement when Heveapac will resume its operations.

I hope no orders loss at all, in which Heveapac still can ramp up production later to recover the loss time and deliver in time.
