KYY, I agree that the EPS will increase further for the next one or two quarters. However, the EPS will soon drop drastically when more supply from existing and new glove manufacturers. How soon I don't know but I believe it is quite soon. It is better to use discounted model to estimate the fair value for SUPERMX.

The correct way to estimate the fair value of glove companies:
1) Estimate/list all the future Quarterly EPS before their earning back to normal.
2) All the above EPS to be discounted back to today, i.e. Present Value of them.
3) Guess when will their earning drop back to normal, 2023? 2024? or 2025?
4) Guess what will be their yearly EPS when they are in normal market?
5) Guess what is the reasonable PE ratio when they go back to normal, 30, 40 or 50?

Sum up the above and that is your estimation of their today's fair value.

hope it could be done at much higher than 10.52 at 4:50pm,

The moment Investment banks sell CW, they will buy mother shares for hedging.

When mother share move up and down, they will minor adjust the hedging quantity because the effective gearing change per mother share movement.

The worst thing that the investment banks don't want to see is the mother share plunge below the exercise price, because they might lose money from the mother shares that they hold for hedging.

Look for item "Segment cost of sales" = 26,357,000, page 15 of Q3 report.
Then sum up 3 months FFB production = 103,307mT for Q3, from Monthly Announcement,

Make x = 103,307, and y = 26,357,000,
Do the same for all quarters starting from Jan-Mar 2018.

So you will have total 11 points, make a xy chart.

Then apply/draw a trend line y=mx+c,

You will get m=RM158.7, and c=RM9,970,400.

You can use this y=mx+c to estimate the future profit from the estate operation.

Of course this will not be accurate, but at least better than nothing.

It is very easy to estimate SWKPLNT profit, because the reporting by the company is very detailed.

The management has targeted FFB production growth of 18% to 415k mt for FY21.

With 415000 mT over 35076 Ha, it is only 11.8 mT / Ha, it is still below the norm of 15 mT / Ha in Sarawak. For comparison, it is about 15 mT / Ha for JTIASA, TAANN and SOP now.

SWKPLNT production was low before year 2018, TAANN bought 30.5% equity and joined in the management, bring along their experience from TAANN, FFB production improving very much since then.

With 415,000 mT in 2021 and CPO at RM2500, SWKPLNT should be able to earn RM0.26 per share.

I guess that was why the management wanted to pay another 5 cents dividend for Q3, I guess from now onwards they would pay 5 cents for every quarter or total 20 cents a year.

The balance sheet of Q3 is so good, Net borrowings (Loan / borrowings minus Cash and cash equivalent) is only 18.4 million, very much lower than previous quarters / years. In fact the Finance Income is higher than Finance costs by 160K for Q3.

There is no need to keep much cash in the company, TAANN would get return of investment by receiving dividend from SWKPLNT.

I expect SWKPLNT to pay more dividend (see above my earlier comment), but I thought they would pay only after the Q4 result.

So big surprise that they want to pay now.

Look at their Balance Sheet, it is very healthy,

TAANN bought 30.5% equity in SWKPLNT at RM2.00 per share in early 2018 and and became the biggest single shareholder.

So I would like to compare before and after 1st Jan 2018.

For SWKPLNT:
For the whole year of 2017, FFB production was 237827 mT.
For the latest 12 months (Nov 2019 - Oct 2020), FFB production was 338502 mT.
An increase of 42.33%.

Now look at JTIASA,
For the whole year of 2017, FFB production was 1082137 mT.
For the latest 12 months (Nov 2019 - Oct 2020), FFB production was 980,292 mT.
A decrease of 9.41%.

Now, Compare the size of these two companies,
1) FFB production: 980292 / 338502 = 2.90
2) Enterprise Value (EV) : 1584m / 735m = 2.16
3) Market Cap: 803 / 603 = 1.33

I do not really trust any small company.
Heard people said that many companies have 3 sets of accounts,
One for the boss himself, one for the partners and another one for the government.

TAANN will not be that daring because the Sarawak government still hold very big shares in SWKPLNT, in fact the equity percentage is higher than TAANN's if include other government related units.

So I like SWKPLNT for:
1) FFB will increase further for 2021, at least double digit as committed by the company.
2) Already making more profit and paying dividend, definitely will earn even more and pay more dividend.

Aiyo, tell you another example.

TAANN bought 30.5% equity in SWKPLNT at RM2.00 at quite big premium to market price in early Year 2018.

The estate and mill were badly managed then that the average monthly FFB production was way below 20K mT.

After TAANN joined in the management since then, the average monthly FFB production increase consistently until it is now at 28.2K mT.

Pick from the Sarawak Plantation Companies which pay Dividend:
1) SOP pay 5 cents
2) SWKPLNT pay 5 cents
3) TAANN also pay 5 cents

SWKPLNT is the best, highest Dividend Yield!

Read the following facts about SWKPLNT.

Total Planted Estate = 35,076 Ha
Share Qty = 279,032,200
Share Price = RM2.130 (Last Friday Closing)

Total Milling Assets = RM30,000,000 (Assume 250,000 per mT/hour, it is close to the item "Property, plant and equipment = RM282,225,000" in the Balance Sheet. For comparison, CB INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT HOLDING BERHAD (CBIP) built a new 45 mT/hour Mill in Kalimantan at a cost of around RM1 million per mT/hour)

Enterprise Value (EV) for Planted Estate
= 594,338,586 + 174,307,000 + 131,141,000 + 10,470,000 - 153,188,000 - 30,000,000
= RM727,068,586

EV / Planted Estate = RM20,728 / Ha

For comparison, on 20th October 2020, FGV HOLDINGS BERHAD (FGV) issue an official statement and mention in it that "Replanting expenses for the 15,000 hectares were in the range of RM300 million per annum".
Wow, FGV's replanting cost alone already RM20,000 / Ha,
SWKPLNT's EV / Planted Estate is only RM20,728 / Ha.

Now, look from the point of FFB Production,

How to compare ICAP’s NAV, Price with KLCI.

On 20th Oct 2005 (from its website)
NAV = 0.99
Price = 1.03
KLCI = 911.69

On 28th October 2020
NAV = 2.79
Price = 1.91
KLCI = 1495.20

ICAP dividend:
Amount = 0.095, subject to 25% tax
Payment Date: 7th Oct 2013
ICAP Price on 11th Oct 2013 = 2.33 (from its website)

Assume reinvesting the dividend for extra units,
Also assume the investor income tax rate is zero, meaning the 25% tax will be returned
Total holding will increase by 0.095/2.33 = 4.08%,

From 20th Oct 2005 to 28th Oct 2020, that is 15.02 years.

Now we calculate the Compound Annual Growth Rate:
For NAV = (2.79*1.0408/0.99)^(1/15.02)-1= 7.43%
For Price = (1.91*1.0408/1.03)^(1/15.02)-1= 4.47%
For KLCI = (1495.20/911.69)^(1/15.02)-1= 3.35%

However, if we invest into KLCI’s 30 index counters, we receive dividend.

I forgot to say something about HARTA-C54.
When I first picked it up on 28th Sep,
HARTA was 17.42, Volatility was 76.19% and HARTA-C54 was 0.08,

Now,
HARTA is 19.04, already up 9.3%,
HARTA-C54 is 0.175, already up 119%,
Volatility is 69.23%, drop about 7%,

As:
1) The remaining life is shorter,
2) Volatility also drop significantly,

Therefore fair value also drop significantly,
Then some more HARTA-C54 market price also has shot up a lot,

So please take note that the fair value is now lower than market price.

Apart from cancellation, the treasury shares can be:
1) Distributed to shareholder as dividend, kind of a mini bonus issue, creating unnecessary odd lot, in this case I think it imply that the company is in tight cash flow, not enough cash to pay cash dividend.
2) Sold back to the market, in this case I think it imply that the company need money.

CBIP decided to cancel the treasury shares, so I think it is meaning their cash flow is good.

HARTA = 17.50
HARTA-C52 = 0.230, Fair Value / Market Price, FV/MP = 121.6%

Look at the changes, I should sell C54 and buy C52 today, reasons:
1) Their FV/MP, 118.4% and 121.2% are now closing,
2) Who know tomorrow their FV/MP may be far apart again, what I mean C54's FV/MP may go back to 140% level, to be safe I should sell C54 and buy C52 today.
3) If tomorrow C54 really go back to 140% level, then I sell C52 and buy back C54.

OK, look at things this way.

When you buy insurance, you pay insurance premium, and we can check the "Claim Ratio" from bank negara website, if I am not mistaken the "Claim Ratio" is normally around 60%, meaning 60% of the premium go back to the policy holders in claims, 40% go to the insurance companies operating costs and profit.

Now come back to Stock Investment, let say you want to invest 100K in HARTA, but I can actually invest 20K in HARTA-C54, and I keep 80K in Fixed Deposit.

If one week later, unfortunately HARTA drop 50%:
1) You lost 50K,
2) I lost 20K only.

To me, it is simple, I do calculation, I can make better decision either to buy the mother share or to buy any call warrant of it. May be now I should buy HARTA-C54, but next week may be I should sell off HARTA-C54 and buy HARTA mother share.

If you intend to trade short term, say buy today and sell within a week, then fair value calculation is not very important, because the issuer will most probably maintain the same pattern of market making, you will be buying expensive and selling expensive too.

But if we don't mind to buy and keep until cash settlement, then fair value calculation is very important.

You can always write to Bursa on what you want the IB to do, but up to Bursa whether they want to entertain you or not.

There are document and announcements which you can read from Bursa website, but again I don't know whether that meet your expectation or not.

For me it is simple, when I calculate and found it cheap, then I buy and am prepared to keep it until expiry, of course after that if I found it I should sell, even at a loss, I will sell.

IBs surely are allowed to buy mother share to hedge against the CW that they issue.
