As you know, there is so much publicity on property development companies. As a result, almost all property shares are fully valued. Fortunately very few analysts cover the furniture business.

As I have been accumulating Latitude and became a substantial shareholder a few months ago. To satisfy my own ego, I have been telling all the people I know to buy. As shown on the above chart, the price has risen from Rm 1.00 to Rm 5.30 within 18 months.

Of course, many have sold and laughed all the way to the bank and many also ask me if the price will continue to rise, bearing in mind that since its 2nd Q result announcement on 12th Feb the price went up 24 sen and 30 sen in the last two trading days respectively. WHY?

Its 1st Q EPS was 17.12 sen and 2nd Q EPS was 28.19 = 45.31 sen.

As 100% of its products are sold outside Malaysia and due to our Ringgit weakness, I believe its 2nd half year profit will be as good as the 1st half, if not better. Its full year EPS will be about Rm 1.00 which you will know for sure it in about 6 months. Latitude is the largest furniture manufacturer in Malaysia with more than 20 years of experience. It has 3 factories in Johore, 2 factories in Vietnam and one in Thailand. The last closing price was Rm 5.30 at about P/E= 5. With such good profit growth prospect, I think it is still cheap.

Latitud is clear winner in furniture stocks! However, Hevea is another fat margin counter to consider! Latitud will go and breach RM3 totally expected but if you want fat margin of RM1, go for Hevea!

Answer : Almost a year ago, Latitud was only 2.50 when I made my buy call and Hevea was 1.20! I won't dare to buy Latitud at current price! The safest furniture stocks to buy are Pohuat and Homeritz!

Guys, if you think is not right to buy latitude, don't buy ....if the shr goes up the next two weeks don't complain and if the shr goes down next two weeks also no need to complain. Easy isn't it??

Alphabeta

Lets analyse based on the fact as per financial reports, the 31.9% top line growth in FY 14 was mainly contributed by Vietnam market. The 1st half of FY 15, the revenue growth is less than 1% compared to previous year.

In other word, the explosive growth in revenue cannot be repeated in FY 15. The growth in PATAMI margin 9.29% to 12.07% for the 1st half of FY 15 was mainly to the group restructuring done in FY 14 which have reduce the minorities share of the profit drastically.

Latitude historical P/E for the past ten years is in the range of 3 to 6. At current price of 5.58 per share, even if the EPS has gone up to RM 1 (since its first half of FY 15 EPS is 45.31 sen per share) its P/E will be around 5.

The upside of Latitude price is limited unless there is further upside of its top line growth.

Don't discount the possibility of a massive share split plus bonus issue to unlock value. Price could shoot up RM1 in a single day

OTB please can you give me the link of investtalks? ?

Ans : I do not know the link. My articles were requested by Mr Jimmy of Ivestalk. Jimmy told me he posted my articles there. Many members of Ivestalk become my subscribers when they told me they made a lot of money from my articles on Hevea, Hevea-WB, Latitud and Liihen.
Sorry ! I cannot help you.
Thank you.

Conclusion:-
1. Buy high sell higher -- what is the probability?
2. Buy high sell low -- what is the probability?
3. What is the probability that you will make 10% with current entry price?
4. What is the probability that you will lose 10% with current entry price?
5. If 50-50, you might want to go up Genting to try your luck with 大小 !!

I praying for Latitude to do what Wellcall did. Give a bonus issue and split the share into 4.Then the price will shoot. Notice at regular intervals this counter moves upwards. Hopefully this exercise will come

Please be careful with Latitud. Judging from the fact that their revenue drop during Vietnam riot and revenue was flat for past few quarter, Latitud could be already running at full capacity. If you buy Latitud with hope for spectacular growth, you might be disappointed. EPS of 60 SEN a year could be the best Latitud can deliver at current capacity. The driver for Latitud would need to come from better dividend distribution or capacity increase. Capacity increase for manufacturing do not happen overnight. The cash flow for Latitud is still attractive but I believe the upside is very limited without other catalyst.

chonghai i'm a fa follower also but pls bear in mind if the stock is being speculated ta is the best tool 2 execute the selling decision.historical p/e
can't be judge for the goreng or the theme stock(for example current situation is the export oriented stock)if the punter goreng the stock let say from 5,6,7,8,9,10 then bonus issue or share split like dsonic. small fish will be excited about the fancy price movement of the stock.they will ignore the fa side of the stock.
ok lets talk the fa side of the com i strong believe with the company currently venturing into upstream bus(laminated wood plant in klang and wood prosesing fac in vietnam)the net profit margin of the com will increase. if i look beyond 2015, i guess(personaly)turnover of be hit more than 700m next year plus 14%net profit(favorable foreign exchange)so eps 1.00 for the next year is reachable. let's time will prove itself. i'm the small fish who buy at 1.?? at oct 2013 and definitely not sell at the current level.
