It's pretty rare to find a stock so undervalued by the market that it's becoming ridiculous and astonishing at the same time. It's equally amazing that there's zero coverage of such a company, which is good as there's plenty of arbitrage opportunity available. Harbour-Link is such a stock. 

PE of 0.8x?

Latest quarterly net profit: RM46mil. Assuming the following quarters are better than this number (As indicated by boss), it can earn RM180mil per year. Current market cap is RM490mil, PE will only be 2.7x. Ex-cash PE (Net cash of RM340mil) will only be 0.8x!!! Note that this company has never been loss-making since 2004, despite all the volatility surrounding the shipping industry!!

Net cash to exceed market cap in a year:

Net cash currently is RM340mil. If it earns another RM180mil in a year, net cash will be RM520mil, more than its entire market cap. What will it do with this cash-hoard? Can someone just take over the whole company? He'll get tens of millions more cash for free and get the entire business earning RM180mil per year for free!!!

How to value this company? 

The market cap of this company is so ridiculously low that I don't even know where to begin. If RHB can ascribe 15x to TASCO in its valuation, Harbour-Link's integrated logistics should be worth RM500mil at least, assuming RM36mil per year earnings at PE of 15x. Let's give its shipping business PE of 5x, shipping business should be worth RM720mil. Net cash is RM340mil. Total market cap should be RM500mil + RM720mil + RM340mil = RM1.56billion, OR RM3.90 per share. 

Do your own research. All the best! Please share with me anything more undervalued than this. 

Prospects from latest quarterly report:
