The EDGE Mieco Bullsh*t
Print media is in cahoots with Sydicates and "goreng" experts. This is nothing new, as early as the financial industry has existed, they have been utilizing print media to use fulfil their dirty work. I generally do not have a problem with that. Those who are lazy and believe what the newspaper or analyst writes deserve to lose money.
However, this Mieco article by the Edge last weekend was over the top for me. Author KHAIRIE HISYAM ALIMAN or more specifically the EDGE's bullsh*t was too strong for me to ignore. My main problem was that they were too SLOTHFUL. They were too lazy in their attempts to hoodwink the public in this article.
I have been watching Mieco being manipulated for a long time. I thought that their earnings will eventually show, but up till the latest result, nothing has changed.
However what really pisses me off is how lazy the EDGE is in their journalism.
Mieco's valuation still lags peers?
Give me a break! Can you even call what Khairie wrote a valuation?
I have specifically cut out the valuation part of the article. Everything else is basically borrowing from UOB's article which I think is false, but at least they did it with a lot of effort. If you read UOB's Report, they have some lofty forward PE and attach a blanket PE10 for a TP of RM3. They use soft non-concrete reasons such as
- New blood - new chairman
- Cost rationalisation exercise (please, you should've done this years ago)
- Possible merger with SYF (facts please not possibilities)
- Gain JIS certification by 2019 (your forward PE is 2018, why are you telling me about a 2019 story?)
That's enough about UOB. I'm not talking about them.
So this is the lazy part from the EDGE. How dare Khairie use the headline "Despite rally, Mieco's valuation still lags peers" and use PE of 5.5 versus Hevea and Evergreen. Hevea is on a different level by the way.
Also, the PE of 5.5 is completely bullsh*t.
By just doing some quick math you can calculate that the core earnings is 37.2.
The 5.5PE is based on unadjusted earnings of RM82mil which consist of gain of subsidiary, writeback of impariment of PPE, etc.
Lagging peers my butt. Mieco is lightyears ahead of its peers in terms of PE of 37.2 versus 7.7 (Hevea) and 10 (Evergreen).
Ok that's all from me and this will be my only post. I just cannot bear to see such SLOTHFUL journalism in my local paper trying to deceive retail investors to buy such a trashy company.
Please think about what you are doing with your life Khairie but more importantly THE EDGE.

I totally agree. Editor is damn lazy to dig through the non recurring items. One really poor piece of propaganda from a usually well balanced news outlet. Editor might have too much boozing the night b4

Damn stupid article. Thinking all readers believer the BS they wrote. That guy may be his last article before leaving.
2017-04-25 09:32
Thanks for your insightful article. The writer at The Edge , if worth his salt should answer to this.

Thanks insulter3. That happens when little boys do men's jobs. Also, perhaps more importantly, editors fail to perform their job . Maybe they don't know the topic enough. Maybe golf is more important. So, the readers will have to develop the skill to filter trash and keep the gems and ask ourselves "have we overpaid"? We must accept that some analysts are OK. Good luck to all investors.

To be fair insulter to mieco should also do the same adjustment in earnings for Hevea and Evergreen as well loh....!!
At least we compare apple to apple mah....!!

Haha so funny this write up by insulter 3 is like he was just coming to the stock market yesterday! I rest my case.

I thank and compliment insulter3 for the article which is accurate and spot on. The people at the Edge were just careless with this one. If new investors read the article without checking, they could be putting themselves to risk. This article is not accurate and not a true reflection on the company. Potential investors, please check before buying!
