Part 1: CAB CAKARAN: Malaysia Broiler/Chicken Giant in Making

Part 3: CAB CAKARAN: Achievable Target price = RM3.09?
This part will discuss on the factors that affecting the company & the industry
1. Broiler ex-farm price
2. Poultry feed price
3. US currency movement
4. Poultry industry & production growth
5. CAB Cakaran & other competitors
6. Capital management & Production Efficiency of CAB
Broilers are controlled items in Malaysia & broilers' selling prices are therefore pre-determined by the Government from time to time. As such, it is important to know the relationship between the selling price & the profit performance of respective companies.
Based on the prices listed at table below, the broilers' selling price were higher in Jan to March 2017, my calculation of average selling price is RM5.15.

This is in line with the comment from the management in the latest quarterly report:
Prices of feed ingredients, especially maize and soya, accounted for 70% of the production cost.
The management has said below:
But it is interesting to know the prices of both Corn & Soybean in the table below:

Ringgit Malaysia has been staple against US Dollar:
Thanks to donkeystock.biz, the infographic below helps to make easier understanding on how a poultry is run.
According to a report titled "Review of Domestic Broiler Market" (page 11), it is learnt that CAB Breeding Farm Sdn Bhd, a 100% owned subisidary of CAB, is one of the only 4 grandparent stock poultry farmers in Peninsular Malaysia.
Except Leong Hup which was delisted in 2012 & lack of relevant financial information, the following are the comparison among 4 public listed companies in Bursa:
Sources: quarterly reports of respective companies at Bursa Website
Net Debts Over Equity Ratio
The Company has agressively expanding its farming assets via internally generated funds & borrowings. However, the net debts ratio has indeed been dropped from 92% (31/12/2015) to 65% (31/12/2016).
ROE
The agressive expansion has contributed positively to the shareholders' return and it proved that every ringgit reinvested brought greater return over time.
Stock Turnover (Months)
CAB has maintained one of the best stock turnover ratio among all poultry farmers, its stock value was almost HALF of its monthly sales only.
Receivables over Sales (Months)
CAB has maintained very tight credit control over its receivables and the average receivables turnover is only about 1.3 months.

In the article & on No.5. CAB & other competitors, CAB has outpaced others in terms of revenue & improvement in profit margin
2017-03-27 21:50
The stock to sales ratio is just unbelivably low, it means the operations are running very efficient & effective.
2017-03-27 21:51
Debts collection is also very good, it's only about 1.3 months period, it means the company has done very well in credit control.
2017-03-27 21:52
Assets & loans increased but ROE improved, I agreed to statement by WealthWizard:
"every ringgit reinvested brought greater return over time"
2017-03-27 21:55
I am curious on the stagnant production growth for the past few years.
The management has said that acquisition of poultry farms from Farm's Best will give increase 30% production for CAB, it is very interesting.

2017-03-27 22:08
Finally part 2, thank you, wealthwizard sifu! Look forward to read part 3.
2017-03-27 22:23
WealthWizard, what is the impact of bird flu (H5N1) epidemic to CAB if it cannot be contained within Kelantan?
2017-03-27 22:31
VenFx, thanks for your response but my question is more toward what is the impact to consumer confidence to eat poultry if H5N1 become big issue. Does it impact the revenue/profit of CAB?
2017-03-27 22:50
Chicken Feed is the highest in the broiler. Hopefully higher chicken prices and and higher demand already can cover this expenses.
2017-03-27 22:56
No mood to read yet, but well written, keep it up.
Feed prices has been increasing in the last few months. But it doesn't matter.
In Abdullah's time, farmers were given subsidy to prevent price hike. Najib cancelled it (along with every other subsidies and charge everyone 6% instead, how sad). Now farmers are charged with 6% extra for feed. Most smaller farmers are dead. Plus Thailand has problems (no water, no raw material) these few years (and getting severe), so less/no smuggling.
Anyway, we are seeing consolidation in the chicken market is done, and it is a producer's market now.
Those who spotted CAB are really champions, congratulations! You read the market with numbers. Geng!

2017-03-29 09:28

2017-03-29 16:41
Thanks, Joe79, the company has registered increase in assets in last 2 quarters, guess they are expanding internally, but no details can be found in the news or quarterly reports.
2017-03-29 22:34

CAB雄踞北方,之所以要买FARM BEST就是看中他们在南方的市场强大占有率,买下FARM BEST能让CAB在全马各地都有肉鸡生产地,就算吉兰丹有传禽流感,也不会影响其他的鸡场。
CAB也逐步建立关闭式的养鸡场来应对。
