  VivoPrince Not wanting to sound pessimistic but am only expecting a so-so piece of financial results considering the current challenging operating conditions ... hopefully, the dividend rate can be maintained like last year's. 21/01/2019 8:25 AM LouiseS The EPS is on decreasing trend, in last 5 years decreased by around 14.7%, the PE ratio is quite high, around 20, the ROE is 15%, dividend yield is 3.88% https://louisesinvesting.blogspot.com/2019/01/preliminary-screening-of-counters-with_26.html 26/01/2019 5:41 PM Nicole Chow 2016 got one off gain. Exclude that one off gain, 2016 result drop. 2017 result return to normal 2018 3Q accumulated flat. Result good or x depend on Q4. 27/01/2019 4:48 PM shpg22 Good result. FY18 dividend payout totaled at 68.0 cents, up 13% compared to FY17. That translated to 4.1% DY at current price of 16.38. Buy at target price of 17.00. You only need to own 1 company share that is LPI. 99% of other company on BURSA will make you poorer for sure. 29/01/2019 5:33 PM 3iii Lonpac’s net earned premium income for the financial year under review registered a stronger 9.5% growth to RM930.8 million from RM850.2 million, arising partly from its higher retention ratio of 68.4% as compared to 61.0% reported previously. However, the claims incurred ratio for the year under review had increased to 40.9% from 38.5% mainly due to deteriorating claims trends observed in both motor and medical portfolios. Underwriting of these two classes of insurance have been constantly reviewed to ensure favourable performance. With commission for the year at a higher 6.3% and management expenses ratio maintained at 20.1%, Lonpac’s combined ratio increased to 67.3% from 64.0%, resulting in a slightly lower underwriting profit of RM303.5 million, a 0.8% reduction from RM305.8 million achieved in 2017. However, Lonpac reported a pre-tax profit of RM374.1 million in financial year 2018, a marginal improvement from RM372.2 million registered in 2017. ” 29/01/2019 5:50 PM 3iii Fire insurance remains the core portfolio of business contributing 42.4% of its total written premium. During the year, both motor and medical insurance portfolio had also reported strong growth whereas engineering insurance suffered a decline in written premium, affected by the slowdown in the number of project risks and termination of government infrastructure projects. 29/01/2019 5:58 PM 3iii “For the 12 months period ended 31 December 2018, LPI registered an increase in its revenue by 2.9% to RM1,513.7 million from RM1,470.6 million recorded in previous corresponding period. Its profit before tax increased marginally from RM403.7 million previously to RM406.0 million while net profit attributable to shareholders stood at RM314.0 million, a 0.1% increase from previous year of RM313.8 million. Earnings per share of LPI for the year recorded 78.83 sen and net return on equity registered lower at 14.6% from 16.3% previously. 29/01/2019 6:00 PM shpg22 LPI as Malaysia's Berkshire Hathaway should deserve a premium price. There aren't much quality company like LPI in Bursa. As I said before, you only need to own LPI in Bursa, the rest (99%) of other companies are listed to make investor poorer. 29/01/2019 9:09 PM shpg22 Despite this facts, 99% of retail investor would rather buy stock other than LPI. 30/01/2019 9:54 AM pputeh Can some sifu make a comparison between Aeon Credit and LPI. Much obliged and thanks 30/01/2019 10:07 AM newbie8080 @ shpg22 Berkshire Hathaway is an investment company different from LPI which is just an insurance company. Bershire also do not declare dividends unlike LPI. Totally different type of company. 30/01/2019 10:15 AM newbie8080 @ pputeh Aeon credit is non bank financial institution offering small loans and credit card to consumers. LPI is a insurance company. 30/01/2019 10:48 AM shpg22 BRK use GEICO (insurance company)'s float to invest in other companies. Similarly LPI, mostly on PBBANK. Anyway I m referring to its stock performance vs BRK. 30/01/2019 11:03 AM Nicole Chow Ex date 14.2.18....so expected will rise till tmr. Btw, when we will know the date and venue of LPI AGM this year? 12/02/2019 8:13 PM newbie8080 @ Nicole Chow Refer to Bursa Malaysia website for announcement. The company normally announcement it 1 month before the AGM date and usually notice issued by end of February. 14/02/2019 9:56 AM SYWen Hi guys, what was the door gift given in AGM in the past few years? just asking since I am going to the AGM 16/03/2019 9:55 PM Fabien "The Efficient Capital Allocater" Return on equity around 15% (not very high) Return on tangible assets 8% (good) Earnings not growing Is PE 20x justifiable? My personal view it's at FV. Unless they can grow their earnings at least matching the economy then PE expansion is possible, towards 25x. 02/04/2019 3:18 PM Fabien "The Efficient Capital Allocater" assuming LPI can produce consistent 15% ROE every year. in other words compounds its book value 15% every year. how much book value multiple should u pay for? is current multiple of 3x a fair value, overvalued or undervalued? 03/04/2019 9:45 AM Jeffreyteck Newsbreak: Bank Negara extends timeline for fire insurance detariffication.... if for the industry benefits, can always defer, all players and regulator are happy but consumers will be frustrated but unable to do anything. This is shared prosperity. For fees and charges, can't wait to implement ASAP to exploit customers. 08/10/2019 11:05 AM  |
