1) ENGTEX'S EPS IS 17,896,000 over a revenue of  253,817,000 or 0.07%

JAKS' EPS is 7,544,000 over a revenue of  154,788,000 or  4.8%

 

So ENGTEX's 7% beats JAKS 4.8%

 

2) ENGTEX'S Share Price is Rm1.35 over NAP of Rm1.76. So there is a discount of  30%. This meets Ben Graham's Margin of Safety (Ben wants a discount of at least 30% to NTA)

JAKS at Rm1.54 with NAP of  Rm1.19 is 29.4% more than NAP. So Jaks failed Ben Graham's Margin of safety.

 

3)  ENGTEX Pays a dividend consistently for the last 10 years while Jaks has no dividend at all for the last 10 years

 

See ENGTEX

 

 

4. ENGTEX is now making Mild Steel Pipes with 7 feet Diameter - beaten Jaks with Only 6 feet diameter.

So while Jaks goes to Vietnam for IPP Engtex has upgraded its Dutile Iron Pipes & mild steel pipes to capture the Lion Share of Booming Iskandar.

Engtex kept to its knitting while Jaks is venturing into uncertain IPP. See how UMW suffered when it ventured into UMW O & G?

ENGTEX Kept to its Field of Competence while Jaks wandered off into uncertainties.

 

5) ENGTEX has a  more transparent management than Jaks in its Reports

Go see the Properties Owned By Engtex in the Annual Report

Example:

Geran 348543, Lot 112268 Mukim Of Tebrau, District of Johor Bahru, State of Johor, Johor

No.34, Jalan Setia Tropika 1/14, Taman Setia Tropika, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor.

2 Double Storey Shop/ Office

Freehold

Date of Purchase 31-Dec-14

Size1,680 sq ft (Built up 3,360 sq ft)  Price Rm1,027,000

 

See how ENGTEX Even listed the exact address of its Property. Jaks did not.

 

6) WATER IS A NECESSITY OF LIFE FOR SURVIVAL WHILE ELECTRICITY IS NOT.

Our human bodies consist of 75% water. We can't live without water. We can still survive without electricity. While electricity is an option water is a must. 

 

So from all these angles of EPS, NTA, Dividends, Keeping to Its Knitting & Transparency & Human Necessity ENGTEX Beats Jaks handsdown

 

ENGTEX IS STILL UNDERVALUE WHILE JAKS IS NOW OVERVALUE

 

Please do your own investigation & invest accordingly

 

Best regards

2017-06-13 08:45

paperplane2016

I guess not to be too negative and lets study back fundamental. Is Engtex really that good?

2017-06-13 08:51

VenFx

Seriously, I think Engtex worth the monitor.
Thus is a sentiment iver its water play going to finalise on Ict 2017.
(If no other mumbo jumbo).
Tough resistant at $1.48, let's see.

2017-06-13 08:51

Patron

He knows KYY is also quite a hated guy in i3 so he chose to aim him to grab some attention. Must be a lonely old fark from Singapore

Good morning paperplane & all here.

All steel companies have high borrowings

Prestar (Bank loan Rm234 millions)
Masteel (Rm309 millions - short term loans)
Jaks ( Rm445 millions)
Engtex (Rm511 millions)

If you look carefully, ENGTEX is backed by High quality Assets like Shophouses.

So ENGTEX has high margin of safety Plus Growth

Calvin,
Last time u said COMel high borrowing very dangerous wor...

2017-06-13 09:24

calvintaneng

For comcorp only one solitary factory in Kedah

Go SEE ENGTEX long list of High Quality Assets

2017-06-13 09:25

VenFx

It's like COMel want to bancrupt wor....
Then now, COMel going up from 0.780 till $1.12 now.
Why change tone fast ger ?

2017-06-13 09:26

VenFx

Haiyoh,
Next time must sharing view not good to jump decision straight away.
U cross checking the more u are more precise lor.

Anyway, Engtex has already in my wacth list.

2017-06-13 09:28

Hotrod

Jaks has had its price run. Fully valued for now. Engtex, on the other hand, has much higher margin of safety, hence a better bet for now.

2017-06-13 16:10

mbge7clt

Agreed. But Jaks got backing from Super Investor to turbo charge its price.

2017-06-13 23:11

calvintaneng

Good,

After stale bulls taken away Engtex should move up solidly on its own strong fundamental.

2017-06-16 16:27

why keep going down

I look at Engtex from 2 investment angles:

1) ENGTEX'S MAIN FOCUS IS WATER PIPES

2) ENGTEX'S SECORDARY FOCUS IS IN PROPERTY INVESTMENTS.

SO SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE OF WATER PIPES PLUS PROPERTY INVESTMENT BUSINESS.

SOME ARE SKILLFUL WITH RIGHT HAND WHILE LEFT HAND IS REDUNDANT.

SOME ARE LEFT HANDED PEOPLE.

ONCE A WHILE YOU SEE A PERSON WITH EQUAL SKILL IN BOTH RIGHT HAND AND ALSO LEFT HAND.

AND ENGTEX HAS SKILL IN BOTH.

AND BOTH CONTRIBUTE WELL TO OVERALL GOOD PERFORMANCE

Cinqueterre,

Look at intrinsic value and invest accordingly.

Price going down does not matter if company is doing fine.

See Calvin's Wangzheng closed at Rm1.62 today at a new all time high.

Last time when I called for a buy on WangZheng the market responded sheepishly.

Now that Hong Kong investor offers to take WangZheng private people only start interested and chased it to new high.

So just buy while cheap. Don't care how others react. One day the Value of Engtex will emerge like WangZheng and people might also chase engtex into overvaluation.

By then you must resist the urge to chase.
