I follow the smell of money.

1. Stock of The Year

 

In March 2016, I nominated Air Asia at RM1.66 as the Sailang Stock for 2016.

In July 2017, I nominated Hengyuan at RM6.90 as the Sailang Stock for 2017.

In April 2018, I nominated Muda Holdings at RM2.20 as the Sailang Stock for 2018.

 
Air Asia and Hengyuan has subsequently done well (if you didn't sell Hengyuan at closed to RM20, that is not my fault).
 
 
Muda has a bad time after my call, dropping to as low as RM1.60 in October 2018. But now it is trading at around RM2.10. Still not profitable, but down only about 5%. I consider that to be not bad as 2018 turned out to be a lousy year and most people's portfolio shrank more than that.  
 
 
We have yet to enter 2019, but opportunity has presented itself. So I would like to make an earlier move by nominating soon to be listed Jaks-WB (on 20 December 2018) as 2019 Stock of The Year.
 
 
 
 
2. My 2019 Blue Eye Boy
 
 
Before we look at Jaks-WB, let's first look at Jaks. Jaks has 550 mil shares outstanding. Based on current price of RM0.50, its market cap is RM275 mil.
 
(klsei3investor's Jaks webpage mistakenly calculated Jaks' market cap as RM400 mil based on wrong number of shares of 819 mil)
 
 
First of all, what has gone wrong in latest quarter ended September 2018 ? Why did it report losses of RM2 mil ? The main culprit is actually slower billing of Vietnam construction project. In previous quarters, the project generated revenue of RM93 mil and RM64 mil respectively. Its PBT (and hence net profit, since it is tax free) was RM25 mil and RM17 mil respectively (please refer to table below).
 
 
(Source : my 29 August 2018 Jaks article)
 
 
However, in latest September 2018 quarter, Vietnam revenue dropped to RM33 mil. Its net profit also dropped to RM7 mil. Plus small increase in property division losses, the group reported net loss of RM2 mil.
 
 
How will Jaks fare in FY2019 ?
 
 
As shown in table above, the Vietnam project's net margin was 27% in March and June quarters. However, it has dropped to 22% in latest quarter (reason not provided by company). Let's just be conservative and apply this latest profit margin going forward. The Vietnam project still has RM1.3 billion revenue to be booked in. This should lead to RM286 mil net profit.
 
 
Since next quarter will begin in October 2018 and the Vietnam power plant is targeted to be completed by mid 2020, there is 21 months ahead of us, equivalent to 1.75 years. Divide RM286 mil by 1.75 years, we arrive at net profit of RM163 mil per annum. 
 
 
The property division incurred loss of RM17.5 mil in this latest quarter, out of which RM12 mil is LAD while RM6 mil is Evolve Mall operating loss. According to analysts, the Pacific Star project is targeted to be completed by mid 2019, which will eliminate the LAD. However, to be conservative, let's just assume LAD drags on until end 2019. As such, property division will report losses of RM70 mil (being RM17.5 mil annualised). Since Jaks owns 50%, the amount to be booked in will be RM35 mil.
 
 
In latest quarter, Jaks' interest expenses had declined from previously RM7 mil to RM4.6 mil. Multiplied that by 4, pro forma FY2019 interest expense will be RM18 mil.
 
 
Let's not forget the RM50 mil Bank Guarantee to be released to Star Media. Assuming Jaks loses the court case, total to be booked in by Jaks will be RM25 mil.  
 
 
Putting all the above figures together, I expect Jaks to report net profit of RM85 mil in FY2019 (being RM163 mil less RM35 mil less RM18 mil less RM25 mil).
 
 
Based on 550 mil shares, EPS should be 15 sen. 
 
 
Applying a PER of 10 times, my target price for the stock will be RM1.50.
 
 
The fair value of the Warrants will be RM1.50 less RM0.64 (exercise price) = RM0.86.
 
 
Based on listing price of RM0.25, potential gain of 250% over next twelve months.
 
 
That is why I nominate it as my favorite stock for 2019.
 
 
(Dear readers, please don't really sailang. Sailang is merely a term used by me to communicate my fondness for a particular stock).  
 
 
 
 
3. How About 2020 and Beyond ?
 
 
The power plant will be completed by mid 2020. How much will it contribute to Jaks ?
 
 
Instead of making all kind of assumptions, or use sophisticated valuation methodologies such as Enterprise Value, DCF, ROIC, etc, I just make comparison with a neighbouring project.
 
 
You guess it right, MFCB's Don Sahong hydroelectric power project in Laos.
 
 
I think they are comparable in terms of profitability because of the following :
 
(a) operate in same region (Laos vs. Vietnam) and hence should enjoy similar economics;
 
(b) similar capacity (Don Sahong 260 MW, Jaks' 30% of 1,200 MW = 360 MW);
 
(c) similar construction cost (Don Sahong RM2 bil divided by 260 MW = RM7.7 mil per MW. Jaks Vietnam project RM7.8 bil divided by 1,200 MW = RM6.5 mil per MW)
 
 
According to analysts, MFCB is expected to report RM200 mil net profit in FY2020 (after project completed), the bulk of which will be from Don Sahong.
 
 
 
 
(Source : Public Investment Bank report dated 28 November 2018)
 
 
 
(Source : Maybank Investment Bank report dated 27 November 2018)
 
 
As Jaks' effective capacity is even bigger than Don Sahong (360 MW vs. 260 MW), it should generate more profit.
 
 
However, due to lack of actual information for Jaks' project, I would rather err on the conservative side. All I Am Predicting Is That After Factoring In Losses of All Other Divisions and Interest Expenses, Jaks Should Be Able To Maintain Its Net Profit in FY2020 At RM85 mil.
 
 
I believe the above is a fairly reasonable prediction.
 
 
Meaning my target price of RM1.50 is equally good going into FY2020.
 
 
Concluding Remarks : Jaks-WB is a good buy at RM0.25.

BG before issue already secured by banks in conjunction with other facilities.

Once security used up may need topping up another RM50 million as security coz facilities tied up in the ST loans. There will be a security shortfall of RM50 million wif of BG claim.

But as an accountant, you already knew that.

sometimes raider is correct.

Joseph Kennedy was a stock market operator and his descendants suffered terrible curses.

========================================
stockraider To sum up on Jaks exercise:

Jaks is a stock selected by KYY to goreng with him as the operator with intention to make big monies but it turnout a big failure due to poor stock fundamental and poor mkt condition.

Dear i3lurker,
Thank you for reminding me of my profanities, I did not mean to offend anyone in i3 community except one. I subscribe to the view/believe/theory:
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” -Edmund Burke.
“To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men" -Abraham Lincoln.
“I must be cruel only to be kind. Thus bad begins and worse remains behind” -Hamlet
I had already said what I needed to say and it’s behind me now. What I wish is for i3 develop into a community of Redwood forest. I thank you for your contribution for making that redwood community a step closer.

JAKS - My Advice - Koon Yew Yin

Author: Koon Yew Yin | Publish date: Mon, 10 Dec 2018, 12:36 PM


Since I have sold all our shares, many people asked me why I sold all our shares and should they buy it at 50 sen per share.

As I said, forced selling was a blessing in disguise. I was forced to sell at much higher prices in comparison with the current price of 50 sen per share.

I have extracted the following numbers from its latest quarter result:

Short term bank borrowing Rm 99.38 million

Bank over draft Rm 18.214 million

Long term borrowings Rm 323.978 million

Total Rm 440.978 million

Trade & other payables Rm 840.1 million

Total Rm 1,281 million

Total issued shares 546 million

Debt per share 1281 divided by 546 = Rm 2.31 per share.

The company is trying get back to some money by selling convertible warrants at 25 sen each with a conversion price of 64 sen per share, totalling 89 sen. Who will buy the warrant?

As you know the company has a lot of unsold properties and under the current depressed market condition, it will not be able to sell its properties. Moreover, Star’s legal claim for non performance and late completion has not been settled.

As a result, interest charges will be amounting in the next few years. The company cannot hide its losses anymore and it has already reported losses in the latest quarter.

I have already admitted my expensive Rm 64 million mistake because I was focusing too much on its power plant in Vietnam and ignored its property and contracting businesses.

It can only report losses in the next few years.

Why should you buy when the company cannot report any profit?

Certain experiences shape the investor and his/her investing philosophies, and nothing better can happen to an investor than to buy a stock that declines.

Your measure as an investor is how your philosophies hold up during turbulent times.

I am with icon on this one.....

at 50 sen, should put on a bufalo cap...not a traders cap......signs of manipulation of accounts with Vietnam revenue dropping from $ 90 million to $ 60 million to $ 30 million in last 3 quarters.....

2018-12-11 15:12

qqq3

icon...one more reason to be bullish about Jaks....very well hidden....Jaks suppressed the Vietnam revenue....drastic drop in Vietnam revenue to $ 90 million to $ 60 million to $ 30 million last quarter....at first look, last quarter report look disastrous.

$ 42 million loss from property division
$ 56 million profit from construction .Everyone knows Vietnam profit no cash flow.

but only $ 7 million of the $ 56 million is from Vietnam....meaning local construction profit is $ 49 million....I think from Suke.

and $ 20 million from the $ 42 million is LAD.....LAD will end one day.....total LAD todate is $31 million....it is much less than $ 10 million per quarter and this will end one day.....small matter.

On the surface, the results looks disastrous......easy to sell seeing the results.......takes time for people to through and analysis properly...takes time and takes next result which can be enormously good.

Jaks-WA 62.5% under subscribed.
May open at 20 sen, subsequently drop to 10 sen.

Those sailang and sialang follow fake sifus going to holland straight away.

If Jaks mother share is only good for 40 sen, how can WA can be at 25 sen ?

one more good news for u....

according to accounting rules, companies are supposed to provide for all LAD when it becomes foreseeable....not just up to Sept ....

meaning what? meaning if done properly, total provision of $ 35 million ( $ 20 million last quarter) is all that is needed...it is not apportioned by time. ...meaning also next quarter no need provision.

Don't be so fixated about my call to buy at 25 Sen

In general I am just saying that Jaks WA sounds like a good buy from risk reward point of view because it has five years to go, Low absolute exposure , Low exercise price and potential upside from Jaks profit growth

It doesn't have to be 25 Sen buy

If it drops at listing to 10 Sen, then my readers should buy at 10 Sen

Simple as that

If jaks wa drops from 25c it's very cheap dy.
If it goes to 10c or whatever why not ?
Cheap or not is up to anyone to decide.
Arguing is a waste of time.
Time is money.

I see good risk to reward ratio if wa drops. So I will buy

LAD whack every thing now....Vietnam drastic drop in revenue when Director in other sources says 40% completed not the 30% in the accounts ...meaning what?

meaning they wanted to whack every thing down this quarter....and this not even an audited period.

meaning it is not an accident, meaning they have motives, meaning they have strategies.

Do you really understand the meaning of 'Thing done in good faith'?
I suggest you go and consult your lawyer.

I remembered KYY also mentioned he promote certain share with noble intention AND in GOOD FAITH.
I did comment what is good faith, and I did not agree he did that in Good Faith.

Likewise, promoting Jaks-WA at 25 sen can never be taken as doing thing in good faith............
