Has been paying out dividend per share of 12 to 13 sen per annum over the years. This translates into yield of approximately 4.8%. With this years' lower profitability, can dividend payment be sustained ? 

 

Strong balance sheets :-

 

 

Occsaionally does need to invest in plants and machineries :-

 

 

Exports closed to 40% of its products :-

 

 

Comments

(a) Well managed replacement parts manufacturer with many years of proven track record.

(b) Strong balance sheets.

(c) 40% of products exported. The weak Ringgit should boost earnings in coming quarters.

(d) Lower oil price should benefit the group as it uses plastic resins as raw materials.

(e) First nine months of 2014 saw earnings dropped by closed to 50%. Does this spell troubles for longer term prospects ? At current price, PER is more than 17 times (unless earnings can catch up).

(f) High dividend yield of 4.8%. But sustainability depends on future profitability.

Comments

I didn't do a detailed study of this group as I am not really interested in the industry and business they are in.

Healthy balance sheets :

 

 

Segmental breakdown by revenue :

 

 

Segmental breakdown by profit :

 

 

Segmental btreakdown by geographical region. It seemed that the bulk of the group's products are exported.

 

 

Comments 

(a) Small market cap of RM85 mil. Strong balance sheets.

(b) All this while, has been operating at breakeven level. However, as most of its products are exported, earnings should improve in coming quarters as Ringgit has weakended substantially. Nevertheless, this has more or less been priced in as share price has rallied from 25 sen to 45 sen over past few months.

(c) Despite better prospects, I am cautious about investing in this group. If a group has to rely purely on weak currency to boost its competitivenss, what will happen if the Ringgit return to normal ?

NTPM reported lower earnings in July and October 2014 quarters. As a result, share price declined from 80 sen range to 60 sen range. Managment explained that the decline was due to higher utility and labour cost as well as competition.

 

 

 

 

Surprisingly, the group has quite a fair bit of borrowings, with net gearing at 0.32 times. 

 

 

 

Comments

The company has put in place cost cutting measures to restore profitability. We will have to wait for next few quarters to see whether performance will improve.
