i believe the disparity has to do with quality of management. MFCB management is top class. Over the years, they have demonstrated their ability create shareholder value. they are very shareholder oriented.

just check their track record over the past 10 years or so.

This is a high growth stock in an industry with high barriers of entry. Yet, it is trading at trailing PE of 13x. Not even 15x.

Currently, the stock market is not valuing companies with strong balance sheet with net cash position. This can be contributed by the low interest rate environment. Where the excess liquidity has been deployed to highly leveraged companies with explosive earnings growth. Over the last few years, growth stocks have largely outperformed value stocks.

Having strong cash position doesn’t add value to the company’s valuation, as implied by the market.

Take Poh Huat as an example. Current PE multiple is 6x. Adjusted for net cash, PE multiple is only 4x. This is for a company that has grown its earnings by 7% in its latest financial year. However, the current PE multiple implies that Poh Huat earnings are in a decline. To put it another way, if you set a minimum target return similar to the long term market return of 10% and compared that required return against Poh Huat earnings yield of 30%, is that market valuation justifiable?

Even looking from the balance sheet perspective, it’s P/BV is only 0.9x for a company that earns ROE of 15% and ROIC of 28%. It’s cash yield is around 9% based on average FCF, almost 3 times of what you get from risk free rate.

Following my previous comments.

When he bought at 1.34, i'm 100% certain that his investment thesis then was not based on the performance of Evolve Concept mall.

The underperformance of the mall was nothing new. It has been largely priced in, in the past.

Rather than focusing on the investment merits, he allows the share price to dictate his action. He was too fixated at share price and allow mr.market to tell him what to do.

Price is what you pay, value is what you get. But if you are clueless of the value that you bought, the only source of value you get is from mr.market himself.

The new power plant is relatively small compared to other assets.

Based on Affin's estimates, the enterprise value of the Attarat plant is 1.2bil v. Power Seraya 4bil & Wessel Water 19bil

funds cannot afford to be patient. they can't afford to have capital lock in for years while stock is not performing and the fund is underperforming relative to its benchmark

there is no catalyst in sight. no value creation situation to unlock the value

as a retailer, we can afford to have bit more patience. the way i see it, it's yield of 6% at 6.50 is attractive enough. my capital is not earning nothing. it's better than FD but of course one has to decide the risk reward situation relative to your appetite

my view is that the net cash of 60% should give a cushion to downside risk

take care of downside, and let upside take care by itself

even after adjusting for apparently "riskier" asset profile, ABMB capital ratios are still very healthy

at current valuation, it's a good bet to get through this "difficult period" while waiting for the earnings (normalization of its annual loan loss provision) and hence valuation multiple to normalize

Aberdeen is still selling. perhaps partly explain why the share price hardly move

actually, the company can create more value to shareholders. their net cash position is 60% of market cap

they should initiate some buy back, increase dividends or even seek acquisitions with such big hoards of cash

Outliar
Why is ABMB your biggest position besides it being dumped down to the price it is now because of impairment losses. Currently trading at 0.7x P/B but ROA comfortably less than 1% now, barely 1% at its peak, gearing ratio currently 8.8, I don't know, I don't see it being that superb? Is it purely because of the impairments which may or may not be a one off provision?


Obviously, you don't understand banking much.
Some fundamental knowledge:
1) P/B is tied to its ROE. ABMB ROE is projected around 9% v. 0.7x P/B
2) Instead of ROA, banks look at RORWA (return on risk weighted assets). Despite the lower earnings recorded in first half, ABMB RORWA is still at 1.04% (commendable)
3) Instead of gearing, to gauge the Bank's liquidity/funding and capital structure, these are the ratios to look at, as regulated by BNM

Liquidity: ABMB liquidity coverage ratio is 161.5% (way above BNM requirement of >100%)
Capital: ABMB CET1 and Total Capital ratio at 13.5% and 18.6% (way above BNM requirement of 4.5% and 8% respectively)

Back in 2012, JTiasa was valued at an EV/ha of RM68000 (CPO around RM3300)

From JP Morgan's report, Malaysian peers average EV/ha = US25,500 (say at USDMYR 4, RM equivalent = RM102,000)

To be conservative, let's value it at RM65000 EV/ha

JTIASA planted area 69,589ha = RM4,523mil in EV

Less net debt of RM883mil

Implied market cap = RM3,640mil

FV/share = RM3.74
