I follow the smell of money.

1. Introduction

 

I first wrote about Chee Wah in November 2015. 

http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/icon8888/86876.jsp

 

Chee Wah is principally involved in manufacturing and sale of stationery products under the brand name Campap. 

 

 

Chee Wah exports the bulk of its products (75%). As such, it is a beneficiary of strong USD.

 

 

One thing I like about Chee Wah is that it has limited exposure to US, which makes it not so vulnerable to protectionsim by Donald Trump.

 

 

2. Historical P&L

 

 

Key observations :-

 

(a) As an exporter, Chee Wah's profitability is sensitive to USD movement. In December 2015 quarter when average USD was 4.29, the group reported core EPS of 8.3 sen.

 

(b) During the three months ended 31 December 2016, average USD was 4.33. Because of that, I believe coming quarter result will be very good.

 

 

3. Concluding Remarks

 

As pointed out above, I found Chee Wah an interesting export play because it has very limited exposure to US. As we all know, the new President is making noises about Buy America First.

 

The coming quarter result should benefit from strong USD. However, as usual, I don't have insider information. Your money your own decision.

this is the problem of the our government, hardly see facilitation for business, I'm seeing bigger concern on human resource instead, nevertheless, the bottom line is export counter will make money.

Because of this failed government, the private companies and the rakyat need to pay for it.
We don't have to go very far. Look at Singapore, does the Singapore government need to do all this crab actions ???? and Sing$ keep on going up.
Worst is the people still not waking up and continue to vote for corruptors.

Employee suffering as salary no longer match to inflation, food price is shooting high sky, GST stopping people spending, when ringgit plunge further, next probably will be interest rate hike, business unable to repay debts, product unable to sell since cost price unable to mark down, what next we expect?
