10% compound annual return is no easy feat, more so since you are looking at a 30 years period
===========

it can be done if u focus on quality....U will fail if u focus on valuations......



i beg to differ. pay a too high price even for a quality company may become a bad investment decision.

Its been a long, long, long while we haven't seen such a robust market like today. Ekovest and IWCity led the way. Both closed up limit up with substantive volume. The announcements by both companies after market close was NECESSARY based on full disclosure.

Naturally, this set tongues wagging that its all for naught. Really... is this our first rodeo??? Many big projects are awarded to private companies or joint ventures because it is easier to sort out details without revealing too much to the market. Subsequently, they usually will be injected into linked listed companies just based on the nature of project and capital requirements.

You cannot expect market investors to ignore such news because both companies are tightly controlled by LKH. A stock market is a forward discounting machinery. Judging from the longevity of the project and the massive capital requirements, and the fact that he has already listed companies in the correct sector - it would take an idiot to surmise that he won't inject into these two companies.

Surely Ekovest would be the lead player followed by IWCity. Remember when LKH got the same project before being unceremoniously taken away by you-know-who ... it was supposed to be injected into IWCity but the insufficient profits there made fundraising a problem. Hence this time around, it is likely that Ekovest would be the lead company.

IWH in the jv owns 60% of the project and would need to pay its share of the RM500m = RM300m. Ekovest has a warrant expiring June 2019 which should bring in RM150m. Thus making the fundraising relatively easy. To do something else (e.g. keep the jv private; use another listed vehicle, etc..) would be multiple times more onerous.

Nonetheless, it is likely that some selling pressure may occur tomorrow but I expect the whole thing to rebound swiftly. (p/s I hereby declare I have zero holdings in both companies or its warrants). Buyers will have to grit their teeth and brace for the volatility.

Reading comments from i3 would lead me to conclude that there are too many newbies in the markets, or less than sophisticated investors. There is no need to jump and be startled on the news. It shouldn't be your first rodeo.

Interesting portfolio

1. Econpile - didn't know much about them. used to own their competitor Pintaras Jaya

2. Hartalega - good stock. it's good to have some blue chip in the portfolio

3. United Plantation - most efficient planter. but i won't touch palm oil at the moment

4. Uchitec - defensive play. good DY. strong cash generation

5. Serba Dinamik - too diversified in my opinion. i prefer Dialog

6. Bermaz Auto - no comment

7. QL Resources - bought them years ago when it was below RM2. sold as valuations get too expensive

My portfolio is recovering

Now it is approaching 85% of my 2018

And many stocks in it have yet to run

If the bull market extends into 2020, I am looking at new height



Wow, Icon...your portfolio is doing great.

Last year i'm down by 16%. As of now, think up around 8%. Halfway there.

Price over 5 year average FCF is around 11x.

It's a reasonable assumption to pay at least 15x multiple for such company with healthy FCF growth. Hence, you are easily looking at FV around RM13-14.

Stock

2019-04-03 10:22 | Report Abuse

2018 FCF is 452mil. Market cap is around 3.14billion. Its FCF yield is 14%.

2018 FCF grew by 24% from RM344mil. Average 5 year FCF is 281mil and average growth rate is 18%.

By holding this stock, you should make a return of 30% per year (14% + 18%).

This company has good FCF yield and growth. Its intrinsic value is growing at least 20% (conservatively) every year.

assuming LPI can produce consistent 15% ROE every year. in other words compounds its book value 15% every year.

how much book value multiple should u pay for? is current multiple of 3x a fair value, overvalued or undervalued?

eventually when they show real profits from the power plant, this stock PE should ideally expanded to a higher multiple of 15x (its inevitable that investors sentiment to reward a higher multiple once the company can consistently produce sustainable free cash flows).

don't forget, its future revenue shall comprise mostly recurring revenue and these revenue are real cash profit under long term contracts hence protected from external forces. its really a cash cow business.

Return on equity around 15% (not very high)
Return on tangible assets 8% (good)
Earnings not growing
Is PE 20x justifiable?

My personal view it's at FV. Unless they can grow their earnings at least matching the economy then PE expansion is possible, towards 25x.

assets play may take a long time for value to emerge, it could be 10 years or 20 years down the road, and some never will (get privatized at a pittance).

if u keen to invest based on assets, best do it with a diversified portfolio. opportunity cost and value trap are key risks.
