Sime Darby Acquisition of UMW is Inevitable

The merger of Sime Darby (SIME) and UMW (UMW) is a rare group marriage. Both are companies owned by Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB).

Among them, National Investment Corporation directly and indirectly holds 61.18% of UMW, which is the share Sime Darby wants to acquire; and this government-linked institution also directly and indirectly holds 42.84% of Sime Darby's shares.

Sime Darby proposed a cash acquisition of RM5 per share, which would cost approximately RM3.574 billion. It looks like money is transferred from the left pocket to the right pocket. There is no difference.

If this merger and acquisition is regarded as a large cash-out for PNB, once approved, PNB actually sold off the equity of a company and received a cash income of RM3.574 billion. At this time of economic instability, it will undoubtedly provide itself with a large amount of ammunition, which can serve as important equipment for offense and defense.

Not only that, UMW turned around and fell into the arms of Sime Darby. However, Sime Darby was controlled by National Investment Corporation, and the cash was withdrawn. The company's equity was still firmly controlled by itself (another subsidiary). This two-bird-with-one-stone plan is indeed a great one!

At the same time, Sime Darby can further propose a compulsory acquisition of UMW to increase its control. Whether the purchase price of RM5 from other small shareholders is fair or not is a matter of opinion. However, most small shareholders are reluctant to give up UMW. Because UMW's performance has been stable for a long time; and because its major shareholder, National Investment Corporation, is willing to receive dividends from UMW, UMW is generous in distributing dividends and its returns are higher than the average level. It is a high-quality stock that is loved by shareholders. share.
At this Thursday's (16th November 2023) EGM, shareholders will decide whether the acquisition will go ahead. National Investment Corporation and related persons will not be allowed to participate in the voting as they are related parties. In addition, the Provident Fund Board, as the major shareholder of the two companies (holding 14.77% of Sime Darby and 10.05% of UMW respectively), was also prohibited from voting, which became an episode in the merger. Therefore, retailers will play a key role in this merger and acquisition.

I still remember that 6 years ago (2017) Sime Darby proposed to split the company from one time-honored brand to three, holding plantation, property and other businesses respectively. This company with "other businesses" is still used today as "Sime Darby", which is also the protagonist of the merger and acquisition of UMW.

UMW owns the Toyota brand distribution rights and also holds a 38% stake in Perodua. After acquiring UMW, it is a full of fantasy whether Sime Darby will want to further get involved in Perodua.

In any case, once shareholders approve the resolution of the EGM, it is expected that the Provident Fund Board (14.77%) and the Pension Board 83.8% (7.84%) will also accept subscriptions, and Sime Darby’s shareholding will increase to 83.8%, leaving the delisted 90%. It is only a few cents away. If retailers want to refuse to accept the acquisition, they are afraid that they are not capable enough to do so.

Edaran is the 2nd MYEG but not famous. Easily manipulate my stockists. But must have 10% in the 2024 portfolio.

Water tariff wil be raised starting 1 January 2024. Ranhill, PBA, Salcon are involved. Must pick one of them to be in the portfolio for 2024.

Deepavali long weekend selling pressure. Hope can close at RM1.00.

RHB raises Ranhill target price to RM1.09 on undemanding valuation

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 9): RHB Research has kept its 'buy' call for Ranhill Utilities Bhd and raised its target price to RM1.09 from 72 sen previously, as Ranhill’s valuation remains undemanding.

The research house’s optimism is also driven by Ranhill’s growth prospects given its defensive nature, as it is involved in water and power segments.

“We expect Ranhill Utilities’ 3QFY2023 [for the financial year ended September 30, 2023] core profit to grow by 15-25% year-on-year (y-o-y) to a range of RM10.7 million - RM11.7 million. The estimated growth largely stems from the hike in non-domestic water tariffs in Johor which took effect from January, coupled with higher progress billings of its engineering services jobs,” said RHB Research in a note on Thursday.


A near-term catalyst is the possibility of Ranhill being shortlisted as a solar power producer via the remaining 263.6 megawatt (MW) of solar power capacity under the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP), the research outfit added.

RHB Research has maintained its earnings forecast for Ranhill for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2023 (FY2023), but increased its net profit projection for FY2024 and FY2025 by 2% and 3% to account for higher forecasted water consumption.

Hence, it is now anticipating Ranhill to deliver an annual net profit of RM46 million in FY2023 — which is less than half of RM97 million achieved in FY2022 — before generating earnings of RM48 million for FY2024 and RM54 million for FY2025.

It should be noted that Ranhill’s subsidiary RanhillSAJ Sdn Bhd recognised RM142.3 million non-revenue water reduction incentives in FY2022. Meanwhile, Ranhill also made full-year earnings recognition from Ranhill Bersekutu Sdn Bhd and Ranhill Worley Sdn Bhd following the completion of their acquisitions in the third quarter of 2021, its previous bourse filing showed.

Going forward, the research outfit also expects water consumption from industrial, commercial and residential properties to rise in the years ahead as Johor's property is backed by Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link project and the plans expediting the progress of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone.

On top of that, it said a proposal submitted to the cabinet on a mechanism that eliminates ministerial approval for tariff adjustments may allow water tariffs — including domestic ones — to be managed by water supply operators, which seem to benefit Ranhill.

According to RHB Research, another catalyst is the entry of YTL Power International Bhd as Ranhill’s substantial shareholder at 18.9%), given YTL Power's experience in water treatment and power generation, which Ranhill is also involved in.

“Moreover, YTL Power’s plan to venture into data centres in Johor could spur water demand for data centre cooling systems, in our view. In general, 1MW of data centre capacity may require circa 25,500 cu m [cubic metre] of water per year. As such, a main potential beneficiary would be RanhillSAJ, the sole and exclusive provider of source-to-tap water supply in Johor,” it added.

Ranhill's share price surged 54% or 31.5 sen this month so far to 89.5 sen, its highest in more than three years, following the emergence of YTL Power as its substantial shareholder on Nov 1.

Year to date, the stock has almost doubled from 45.5 sen on Dec 30, 2022.

All time high is RM2.50.

Words of wisdom from OTB (Ooi Teik Bee)

FBMKLCI index is bullish now.
I believe we can see a bull market rally from now until Chinese New Year (February 2024).
The Weekly MACD and Parabolic SAR are still showing a buy signal respectively.
I like Weekly MACD to show a buy signal because the uptrending will last for a LONG period of time.

If sell already, buy what woh? Just keep lah.

Better slow, steady and surely! No worries.

The road to the destination is not a short journey, not a straight road, and a few storms here and there really do not worry long distance travellers! Just wait patiently for it (Edaran improving results) to happen.

Tomorrow (Wednesday, 8 November 2023), there will be another limit up.

1.3 × RM 0.815 = RM1.06.

Thursday (9 November 2023), the price will still be RM1.06; because only two consecutive limit ups are allowed. Then, on Friday (10 November 2023), I think the price will be close to 1.3 x RM1.06 = RM1.38 (up-down-up-down ...) but eventually, it will close at RM1.38. Next week, it will be free float.
