ES CERAMICS TECHNOLOGY BERHAD (0100) (Shariah-compliant) Today Close 0.325 . Why?

I am interested with this company because my logic analysis tell me yes ! This is the company I want to buy for short/medium/long term. Lets us have a quick review in GLOVE sector Malaysia. refer over HERE: <----

To be not surprise Malaysia is well known to be one of the world largest producer of gloves. refer HERE <--  

We have seen many successful company for glove sector in Malaysia, will ESCERAM too? 

Lets back to ESCERAM, why is ESCERAM become so interesting to me? ESCERAM like no other, they are producing ceramic gloves, and major customer is actually from some of the local glove company like TOPGLOV, SUPERMX and others.. 

Lets us look at the result, wow ! First 2 quarter already 2.5 Million compare to past 4 quarter of 2014. A huge growth in their profit. That's why ESCERAM is climbing up slowly, and quietly. 

Is this company owe a lot money? No ! Its a nett cash company with about 5 cent per share. And Return of Equity (ROE) is about 16%. Just see the balance sheet yourself, if you dont understand, just remember its a nett cash company ! A nett cash company mean they are free from high risk if economy or business slow down because they will not going to have problem paying bank debt. 

Nothing seems exciting enough about this company? Because of the price have already increase a lot? By looking at the chart, today closing 0.325 show closing at new high and its very potential to fly in short term. WHY it's at such a high price but people still buying in? What they actually see from ESCERAM? Lets me reveal the simple secret !

Its still undervalue of course !! Lets us compare with PE of others gloves company and you will found the PE at 24. If you using excel force PE calculation, they are actually count the previous quarter 1-4 quarter, and ignore the quarter result of 1-2. 

Which mean, if you check, Kossan PE is correct, but ESCERAM if rolling 4 quarter will be wrong. If using rolling 4 quarter, ESCERAM PE at only 7 ! 0.315/0.023= PE 13, EPS(QE 3+4+1+2). Its only about PE 13 as for now. 

What if we projected the future growth and what will the PE look like ? 

We use the first quarter result of latest year as our calculation, and we use conservation method to say coming quarter 3 and 4 give the same result as quarter 1:

Quarter 1 - Earning about 1.1 Million = EPS 0.007

Quarter 2 - Earning about 1.3 Million = EPS 0.013

Quarter 3 - Earning about 1.1 Million = EPS 0.007

Quarter 4 - Earning about 1.1 Million = EPS 0.007

                                               ToTal = EPS 0.034

EPS 0.034 X PE 10 = 0.34

EPS 0.034 X PE 15 = 0.51

EPS 0.034 X PE 20 = 0.68

This is calculation if coming quarter result maintain without growth ! If earning 2 million? That would be big flying up. 

Below is our group chat info provided at weekend, if you have brought at monday opening, you will have 1 cent earning already. Sikit sikit jadi bukit mah...
