Executive Summary
(a) Ge-Shen is principally involved in manufacturing of precision plastic parts. The group has not done well. Over the past few years, average net profit was only approximately RM2.18 mil.
(b) However, the group is in the process of acquiring 75% equity interest in its industry peer Polyplas Sdn Bhd at attractive PER of 5.75 times. Circular to shareholders was issued on 13 March 2015. EGM will be held on 4 April 2015.
Polyplas is very profitable and reported net profit of RM7.83 mil in the financial year ended 30 October 2014. According to Ge-Shen's circular to shareholders, on pro forma basis, the acquisition will increase the group's net profit by 372% from RM2.13 mil (FY2013) to RM10.06 mil. EPS will increase from 2.78 sen to 13.08 sen (please scroll down to end of this article to check out the financial effects of the transaction).
(c) In addition to the above, on 2 March 2015, the group completed the disposal of two loss making subsidiaries. These two subsidiaries reported total losses of RM2.8 mil in FY2013 (latest available figures). With the de-consolidation of these two non-performing subsidiaries, overall net profit of the group should increase by the same amount accordingly.
(d) The acquisition of Polyplas is timely. Since locking in the deal in October 2014, the Ringgit has depreciated substantially against the US dollar, making Malaysia's manufacturing industry super competitive.
With all these favorable factors in play, the enlarged Ge-Shen group should do well in coming quarters.

Icon8888, thanks for digging up Ge Shen. Looks attractive.
Are Ge Shen selling the 2 subsidiaries below book value ? It is ok for me to sell loss making subsidiaries below book value. However, if below book value, next quarterly report might look ugly.
Current market cap for GESHEN is 45 million. The enlarged market cap is around 65 million. Assuming the take over is completed, profit of RM 10 million would bring a market of probably 60 to 80 million. Upside is limited unless GESHEN benefits from lower material cost and synergy between the old and new business.
One thing I do not like about GESHEN is the PPE. PPE is more than Depreciation. I have a prejudice against that.

disposal will result in gain of RM613,000 and RM300,000 respectively. If I am not mistaken, the gain has already been booked in (please refer to December 2014 quarterly report)

Is that merely reporting ?
My style is to present the relevant facts systematically to guide the readers naturally towards a conclusion
Behind the cut and paste is a lot of thoughts
As a matter of fact, picking Ge Shen as a topic already accounts for 95% of the value creation.
You can have a clerk that can write 1,000 pages essay and add in colourful diagrams and charts. But does that really get you what you want in terms of stockmarket investment ?
Don't meant to be rude, but I think u r a bit shallow
2015-03-16 22:33
If you want articles that yell "strong buy!!!", "undervalued gem!!!", you should follow clavintaneng
Haha
2015-03-16 22:40
Maybe you should employ and Long Jane To type things like terms of the rcps.
2015-03-16 22:57
Long Jane has already found employment with Long John. Everyday she will write a 1,000 pages report to guide him on what to wear, do and eat the next day
2015-03-16 23:04

Apini,
I like my sifu kcchong CAGR track record in evaluating growth stocks, CFFO or FCF included
2015-03-17 13:27
A few weak points I think good to mention:-
1. Poor profit margin of Ge-shen, Polyplus slightly better.
2.The projected cashflow from Polyplus seems very good...Is it really tht good?
3.Poor utilisation of machines, 2014-52% utilisation rate
2015-04-02 13:37

2015-04-05 18:11
Thanks for highlighting this stock... I m amazed at your ability to discover these hidden gems... i m sure these type of stocks will not appear on any fundamental or TA screeners...
2015-04-22 09:56
@icon8888 wanna ask whether the acquisition of polyplas has been completed?
2015-04-22 10:14
then I shall assume the coming quarter result should be staggering good. Cheers!
2015-04-22 16:24
Icon8888, though i don't like some of your comments in some counters... but, I must agree that you are quite a pro investor
2015-08-07 21:03
Geshen, there is a market maker, a new CEO with impressive titles and corporate player. Geshen...like Instacom have been planned for more than 1 years.
The nearest comparison to geshen is Instacom. , not Comintel.
Comintel has a web site that don't even have a section called Investor Relations. Comintel was heading towards bankruptcy until the ringgit dropped drastically., and a BOD and management that has already given up until they are rescued by the fall in the ringgit.
2016-01-03 19:26
Geshen is a very special stock
I asked paperplane to buy when it was 56 sen, he gave me a stern lecture about bankruptcy blah blah blah
It is now RM2.80
The 56 sen was 12 months ago, not 12 years
2016-01-03 19:37
No need to argue until red face
I pocket RM2.80
Paperplane eats west north wind
2016-01-03 19:51
Btw, this is the profile of your much revered fund manager paperplane
http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/icon8888/80184.jsp
He is nothing but a highly geared young punk loaded with tonnes of housing loans and car loans (he accidentally told us)
U r new here, I am helping to bring u up to speed
2016-01-03 20:06
I not only cover stocks, I profile my forum members also
Give me more info, I can even do a piece for u
2016-01-03 20:07
