Hi Kcchong,mind to demonstrate What formula you used to get 2.37?


Ebit = 90.2m
Expected growth for the next 5 years=10%
Terminal growth=3%.
Cost of equity=10%

EV=1.09b, or RM2.37 per share

Thank you

to kk123, if the water asset is acquired by federal government, the tariff may be reduced due to the financing rates enjoyed by PAAB as a government owned unit.

Hello, Selangor Folks, any water supply disruption? ANSWER>NO. REASON>The water treatment plants have not received any notification from the Selangor state government about the licence being removed and I believe the Federal Government is still finalising its offer to take over the water assets

“I have called the companies and it seems that everything remains status quo. I am not sure what the Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim is hinting at with the raw water licence termination, but I hope the Federal Government is leaving the discussion for now since it has invoked Section 114 of the Water Services Industry Act 2006 (which means there will be no water supply disruption).

“The water treatment plants have not received any notification from the Selangor state government about the licence being removed and I believe the Federal Government is still finalising its offer to take over the water assets,” he told StarBiz.

I don understand the rationale behind the termination of the license. If Horas is able to supply water to the whole state, then the takeover event would not take place.One of the reasons of acquiring water assets is to solve water crisis. In fac thet termination is a good sign because the Puncak's main shareholder may compromise and expect lower euiqty value(
the worst is 12% ROE), the value for Puncak should be higher than current price. This is panic selling.We shall see a clearer picture soon.

Hi JyYeo, I have same thought as Kcchong, could you share the companies that have high EBIT/EV>Earning yields and EBIT/(NET fixed assets+ net working capital>ROC.

As explained by Joel GreenBlatt in the book,

Using EBIT/EV is to find a cheap stock
Using EBIT/(Net fixed assets+ Net working capital) is to evaluate whether the company can generate good profits using capital.

In short,the investors can find a cheap stock with good quality business(fundamentals) using the magic formula.

I would also like the companies that can generate high FCF or High CFFO with little spending on Capex? I dont mind even though its profit is growing slowly.hahaha.

Hi Kcchong, I have a few questions.

1:If using NOPAT/IC where IC = PPE + net working capital
Where net working capital=receivables+ inventories - payable
The "total assets" consist of many other stuff not concerning the "ordinary" business; for example some property investments for some non-property companies; investments in associates and joint venture companies; some "other investments" etc. These stuff are generally not consolidated into the financial statements of the company, and hence by using your formula, you nay have over-estimated the invested capital, and hence resulting in a lower actual ROIC.


Then, do you include Share of profit of associates and Investments in associates when calculating NOPAT/IC for Kfima(sorry for a spam here)?Do you include Non-ordinary(non core) business when calculating NOPAT/IC?

2: what is your view for the below statement. How do you treat deferred tax assets and tax liabilities when calculating IC

Actually, including taxes payable is a judgment call. Many analysts let this item remain as a source of invested capital (as we did here) because most companies never pay these deferred taxes. These taxes are perpetually deferred, and for this reason, some call them "quasi equity". If the company were going to pay these taxes, we would exclude taxes payable from invested capital, but since the company - in practice - is going to hold onto the extra cash, we are going to charge them for the use of it.

If I am not mistaken, Joel encourages the investor to use EBIT when calculating ROIC because different companies have different debt and tax rates, using ebit can avoid the distortions arising from differences in tax rates and debt levels.

3: what is your valuation method for Tas offshore? its CFFO and FCF has been negative for a few years. but its price is still increasing.

no doubt political influences also affect the deal. what if bn doesnt want to compromise with pkr? there will be no deal, the situation will become worse, then i willl be an independent candidate in selangor in the next election? Reason? people are suffering from water crisis and they cant even use one of the necessities(water),many factories and developments also get affected. Can human survive without water? So....there must be a deal!

no worries. MP needs to resolve this issue ASAP. 841 projects were affected in selangor due to water disputed as claimed by SPAN. If this problem carries on, the situation will be worsened and the tax revenue will be affected as well. The water reserve margin is not sustainable.
