Revisiting our warning on Hengyuan
Revisting our Post
Back on July 31st, we published a post titled "3 risks to consider before investing in Hengyuan". We highlighted the risks regarding petroleum refining companies being, 1) Earnings could be too optimistic, 2) Crack spreads are highly volatile and 3) Hengyuan Shandong's low entry price.
2nd Quarter Results Disappointment
Today, Hengyuan reported its results for the second quarter which was lower both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter. The reasons, in a nutshell, were 2 things:
-
One of its crude distillers was on temporarily shutdown for approximately 3 weeks for a planned minor turnaround maintenance in May 2017.
-
There were minor turnaround maintenance expenses and additional amortisation charges arising from new software/intellectual property assets.
Our Concerns were Valid
In our earlier post, we said that "refineries require maintenance – both planned and unplanned" and "Obvious reasons why Shell disposed of its Malaysian refinery could be due its unwillingness to invest further".
Looking at the reasons for the weak quarter, it is clear that our concerns were valid, i.e. there was a plant shutdown which was unaccounted for and there are higher than expected maintenance expenses as the refinery is aged.
In fact, Petron Malaysia announced its results yesterday that fell short of some estimates as well. The culprit - 25 days shutdown in one of its plants.
It is NOT our Desire for Anyone to Lose Money
We do not take pride in being right, especially when it concerns the possibility of investors losing money. Quite the opposite, when we highlight risks, we hope that we are wrong and everyone makes money.
Our intention is merely to highlight the risks when we feel that investors have become too euphoric. This is something we hope to continue doing in the future.

i think those sifus they dont understand the reality on the ground of how these refinery works. That could be the reason they calculate these thing so wrongly. Perhaps someone in the biz would have been able to give a better estimation.

NTA may be the better parameter to reflect the intrinsic value of this company.
Always buy with a discount.
Being a cyclical, commoditised and capital intensive company with volatile earnings and high debts, you will demand a big margin of safety to its intrinsic value.
Do you disagree?
2017-08-26 08:22
no choice, the article title is clear. It's only about 'warning'. They won't mention to you the cash stuff =)
2017-08-26 11:05
hi mycongcc5, most will not make money one. You are right. I'm still re calibrating and testing methodologies. Bursa is very different from US, I been listening to the views of many old timers here on their view on bursa. I'm new in bursa, so i need to gather info and understand how the counters in bursa performe. I'm seeing something now after i look at a fund manager writing something. Targeting niche counters.bursa counters underfunded, but there are certain niche counters where funds are there. These counters are targeted by rich fund managers and they have set certain criterias what they like, so is a behaviour. If you can grasp how they think, you can ride with them. OTB set his criterias, while KYY is very different. BUT I noticed OTB logic behind his moves and must say his way of selection has a higher probability, yes, is probability. So the most important thing is to try to understand how they think. But there's one group of ppl most hard to fathom, the day traders and what they called the operators, i no clue how they move
2017-08-26 11:23
For trader is simple, focus on technical analysis, sentiment & liquidity, fundamental is secondary. For long term investors (3-5 years), you have to expand your fundamental "analysis" beyond one year.
2017-08-26 12:08
So, don't use the wrong machines and expect a different results. Some "voters" uses "weighing machines" and some "investors" uses "voting machines", you will have conflicting results.

correct to use NTA as a parameter to buy ...

These sentences are beutiful
We need someone to warn us not to do something that we are not supposed to do , especially when you have a lot of cash in your pocket , you may want to try your luck when everybody is shouting
it is good buy with all the fact and data. Stick strictly to your own stock selection criteria is still the safest.

ANSWERING THE CONCERN IN A FUNDAMENTAL AND RATIONALE WAY.
Back on July 31st, we published a post titled "3 risks to consider before investing in Hengyuan". We highlighted the risks regarding petroleum refining companies being, 1) Earnings could be too optimistic, 2) Crack spreads are highly volatile and 3) Hengyuan Shandong's low entry price.

One of its crude distillers was on temporarily shutdown for approximately 3 weeks for a planned minor turnaround maintenance in May 2017.
There were minor turnaround maintenance expenses and additional amortisation charges arising from new software/intellectual property assets.
BTW THIS 2 THINGS ONLY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL COST OF ROUGHLY RM 8 MILLION, RAIDER CONSIDER MINOR IMPACT LOH...!!
MORE LOSSES COME FROM INVENTORIES AND FOREX MAH...!!
HOWEVER IT IS ONE TIME EXCEPTIONAL CHARGES, WE ARE SEEING SUNNY SKY GOING FWD.
Our Concerns were Valid
In our earlier post, we said that "refineries require maintenance – both planned and unplanned" and "Obvious reasons why Shell disposed of its Malaysian refinery could be due its unwillingness to invest further".
Looking at the reasons for the weak quarter, it is clear that our concerns were valid, i.e. there was a plant shutdown which was unaccounted for and there are higher than expected maintenance expenses as the refinery is aged.
YES IS VALID...THE AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL TO MAKE A MAJOR IMPACT MAH..!!
IT IS JUST LIKE MAKING MOUNTAIN OUT OF MOTHBALL LOH..!!
In fact, Petron Malaysia announced its results yesterday that fell short of some estimates as well. The culprit - 25 days shutdown in one of its plants.
It is NOT our Desire for Anyone to Lose Money
We do not take pride in being right, especially when it concerns the possibility of investors losing money. Quite the opposite, when we highlight risks, we hope that we are wrong and everyone makes money.
Our intention is merely to highlight the risks when we feel that investors have become too euphoric. This is something we hope to continue doing in the future.
RAIDER LIKE TO POINT OUT THE AUTHOR ARE RIGHT ON HIGHER MAINTENANCE COST, BUT BOTH HRC AND PETRON RECORDED GOOD PROFIT AND OVERCOME THE DIFFICULT CHALLENGE MAH...!!
LETS BE RATIONAL AND THINK...IS THE SHARE PRICE OF PETRON AND HRC EUPHORIC WHEN BOTH OF THEM TRADE AT A PE FAR BELOW PE 10X COMPARE WITH PET DAG 24X LEH ??...!!
NO LOH !!...U JUST LOOK AT THE LATEST BALANCE SHEET BOTH HRC AND PETRON SHOWS TREMENDOUS GROWTH IN CASH HOLDING AND REDUCTION IN BORROWING, AN INDICATION OF HIGHLY PROFITABLE BUSINESS GENERATED BY OPERATIONS MAH...!!

Repeat what OTB's statement & try to understand it, it's the risk that we need to take when come to business or stock investment, nothing is sure thing:
It is always difficult to predict quarter result because we base on all information available to public. We do not have any insider information.
I had done my forecast for many stocks, the probability of correct is around 70%. Many time, it is wrong even I spend many hours to do it.

I think it would be fair to give credit to those who warned on overly optimistic forecast. There are a few who did the warning it in polite manner but got humiliated , whacked from right to left, being called stupid / bodoh , being called low class blogger for their work/opinion.
This is the problem with the participants, they only like what they want to hear when they are in heavy position. Any differing opinions are like death penalty to them.
2017-08-28 21:36
HANG ON...THE WRONG FORECAST ONLY MEAN THE CURRENT HRC TP RM 37.00 NO LONGER VALID LOH.....!!
GENERAL RAIDER ADVICE FROM NOW ON JUST BE CONSERVATIVE LOH...DO NOT USE FORECAST USE ACTUAL FIGURE LOH....!!

THUS PE 4.3X BASED ON SHARE PRICE OF HRC RM 7.03 LOH...!!
THE LATEST HISTORICAL EARNINGS AND CASHFLOW OF HRC LOOKS IMPRESSIVE LOH..!!
THE NEW TP IS RM 15.00 GENERAL RAIDER SET BASED ON ACTUAL HISTORICAL EARNINGS LOH...!!
