Luxchem : Leader in supplying nitrile and related chemical additives for glove producers.

The emerging trend in the industry is favourable to Luxchem Corp Bhd, which supplies nitrile (synthetic latex) to glove producers, such as Hartalega Holdings Bhd, Top Glove, Supermax, and Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd.

Glovemakers are on investors’ radar but not Luxchem.

According to its customers, Topglove, Supermax, and Kossan are dedicating more of their production lines to nitrile gloves.

>Topglove

Topglove is increasing its product mix from purely a latex-based gloves producer into the higher margin nitrile gloves.
In its latest quarter report,Top Glove continues to increase its nitrile segment contribution, which grew by 8% pts from 24% in 1QFY15 to 32% in 1QFY16.


>Supermax

In its latest quarter report,Supermax operating margins helped by stronger USD and better sales mix (i.e. increased sales of higher margin nitrile products).
Growth going forward is expected to be driven by two new plants.
The building structures for Plant #10 and Plant #11 i.e. Lot 6059 and 6058 in Meru, Klang are up and the first batch of lines has been commissioned. Lot 6059 and 6058 will have 24 and 16 production lines producing 3.2b and 2.2b pieces of nitrile gloves p.a., respectively, bringing the total nitrile production capacity from 6.9b (including the 1.4bn in Lot 6070) to 12.3b pieces p.a. or 52% of the total installed capacity.

>Kossan

In its latest quarter report,to fulfill strong demand for nitrile gloves, Kossan plans to double its current 22.5bn pcs capacity by 2021. The expansion plan will be executed in 5 phases from end-2015 onwards.
The group will continue to focus on light weight nitrile gloves and aim to achieve a product mix of 80:20 - nitrile (SR) and natural rubber latex (NR) in FY16 respectively (YTD - 68:32 SR vs. NR).



>Hartalega, leader in nitrile glove market.

In its latest quarter report,Hartalega expect its earnings to jump upon the gradual ramp up of the Next Generation Integrated Glove Manufacturing Complex (NGC) (known as Plant 7). Presently, NGC has commissioned 17 lines. Upon full commissioning, the first two plants will add c.8b pieces (+56%) new capacity by 1Q16.

A brisk outlook for Luxchem.


Luxchem has a strong market reputation and established record with over 700 customers in 14 countries.

Its revenue segment can be segregated into four divisions equally divided into: (i) rubber, (ii) latex, (iii) coating, and (iv) FRP. This also means that half of the group’s revenues are derived from the rubber glove industry.

>A resilient play for its defensive earnings.
Nearly half of its earnings are derived from the defensive rubber glove industry, based on rubber and latex segments. As it is a one-stop centre, all the rubber glove makers are customers of LUXCHEM, which is able to supply a full range of additives and chemicals.

>Defensive play.
The company is generous with dividends.Given its steady earnings growth coupled with above average yield of 4%-5%. The dividend yield is based on 50% payout, which is in line with the company’s unofficial dividend payout policy.

Financially, the company has a strong balance sheet. In 3QFY15, LUXCHEM has a healthy set of balance sheet with RM106.75m cash or RM51.98m net cash.

<A must buy planter : Sterling results, cash-rich balance sheet and steady dividend the key attraction.>

For QE31 Oct 2015,
The PBT rose 17% q-o-q or 61% y-o-y.
The FFB production rose 8.8% q-o-q or 14% y-o-y.

<<<<A Hidden Gem In Damansara Heights>>>>

To recap, the recent completed land sale of 6.34 acres at MYR1,629 psf at Pusat Bandar Damansara - Damansara Heights (on 30 September 2015)and progress of MRT works should trigger a re-rating of Selangor Properties’ RNAV. MRT and plot ratio expansion could encourage redevelopment of its existing office buildings.(12 acres).

-It is the largest land & asset owner in Damansara Heights.
With strategic landbank in Pusat Bandar Damansara – Damansara Heights, adjacent to 2 MRT stops along MRT Blue Line, SPB’s RNAV could grow by RM11.71 in 3-5 years. (at RM1, 300psf)


-Very illiquid counter but very solid company. Potential M&A/privatisation candidate - major shareholder Kayin Holdings holds its stake to 68.23% as at 31 October 2015

-Undemanding valuation with gross cash and short term investments of RM1268.74 million. Net cash and short term investments is around RM1027.95 million, as at 31 October 2015, which translates to RM2.99 per share, or 53.8% of the current share price.

-Proposed a single tier first and final dividend of 50 sen per ordinary share, comprising 12 sen ordinary dividend and 38 sen special dividend, in respect of the financial year ended 31 October 2015, share price should be supported by dividend yield ^9%^.

Why pick Kim Loong in long term:

-Prudent management.
Embracing techniques for better yields. The cost of production during FY2015 dropped to RM1,200/MT of CPO compared to RM1,300/MT in the last financial year, due to higher production and better utilization of milling capacity.

-EFB growth engine.
In January 2014, the Group has successfully implemented and commissioned a plant capable of extracting dried long fibre from empty fruit bunch (“EFB”) which is normally considered as waste product from palm oil milling. This dried long fibre plant is expected to contribute positively from the financial year 2016 onwards.

-FFB production continues to grow.
The Group expects the FFB production by the plantation operations and FFB intake by the milling operation to be marginally higher in FY2016 compared to FY2015. Note that latest 3Q FFB production increased by 14% YoY while CPO production also rose by 26% YoY.

-Strong balance sheet strength. As of July, its total net cash stood at MYR268.72m (or MYR0.86 per share).

- Attractive and highest dividend yield stock in plantation sector,. Because of its stable milling business, Kim Loong is able to consistently pay dividends. Since FY2011, its payout ratio has ranged from 50-70% of net profits. The company paid a special dividend of 10 sen per share in August, bringing total dividends to 23 sen in the past 12 months. This translates to an above-average net yield of 8.2%.

-Potential proposed bonus issue.

Malakoff : A stable dividend play stock in future.

To recap, Malakoff’s listing share price was fixed at RM1.80 on 17/3/2015.

-Malakoff is the largest independent power producer (IPP) in Malaysia owning 5,346MW of capacity through equity stakes in 6 power plants. This is equivalent to 26% of Peninsula Malaysia’s total installed capacity and is second only to Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) which controls 47% and who also happens to be the off-taker for Malakoff.

-Combined, both Malakoff and TNB supply 73% of Peninsula Malaysia’s energy needs (source: Energy Commission).

<<<<Malakoff’s earnings view as defensive with future prospects intact due to:>>>>

i. The securing of long-term power purchase agreements (PPA) with TNB with fuel cost pass-through (FCPT) mechanism in place to eliminate risks arising from commodity price fluctuations.

ii. Its ability to contest for the next cycle (year 2020 onwards) of power projects as Malaysia’s reserve margin has fallen to 20-25% range in FY14, prompting a need for capacity plant-ups to a more secure >30% reserve for energy security to cater to demand growth and unscheduled plant outages (source: EC).

iii. An additional new earnings driver. Its 7th power plant (Tanjung Bin Energy Unit 4) with an additional 1,000MW set to come on-stream in 1HFY16 ( commercial operation date (COD) target of 1 Mar 2016) which will increase Malakoff’s net effective capacity by 11% to 5,910MW (PD Power 436MW to be retired) and will support 15% EBITDA growth in FY16E.

iv. Its export opportunities given the proximity to Singapore and Thailand and the availability of sites to accommodate more power plants.

v) Malakoff provides a good alternative to perennial yield favourites (telcos). Its dividend yields are decent at 4-6% in 2016 is supported by free cash flow yield of 10%.

The recovery lifted by the higher net gain on commodity future contract and lower inventory write down.

Financial Position


As at 30/9/2015, GCB's financial position is fairly tight with current ratio at 1.03 time and gearing ratio at 3.4 times. The high gearing is the result of high borrowings to finance its inventory & trade receivable. Inventory holding period had improved from 160 days in 31/3/2015 to 104 days while debtors' turnover period had deteriorated from 43 to 73 days over the same period.

Valuation

GCB (closed at RM0.85 yesterday) is now trading at a trailing PER of 31 times (based on last 4 qaurters' EPS of 2.75 sen). If GCB can continue to chalk up results similar to QE30/9/2015, its PER would reduce to less than 5 times. This plus its PBR of 1.1 times its NTA (of 80 sen @30/9/2015) means that GCB is probably fairly valued today.

Amended. <<<< A Dominant Local Player in Fiber Optic Cables>>>>

Opcom is estimated that it has approximately 65% to 75% market share for fiber optic cables in Malaysia, making it the leading player in the segment.


OPCOM had been flattish for FYE 2015. However, OPCOM had been seeing a strong growth in the 1Q FYE 2016 which was driven by the 3-year contract secured with Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) for supply and delivery of cable and related systems ( RM 210m).
While this is just the start, OPCOM will definitely benefit more from the launch of the high-speed broadband phase 2 (HSBB2) and sub-urban broadband projects. The 10-year contracts are worth RM1.8bil and RM1.6bil respectively. This, in turn, means Opcom will see a constant and stable demand and growth for fiber optic cable and solutions from TM in future.

To recap, the HSBB2 and SUBB projects were already tentatively awarded to TM, further details with regards to government grant and tax incentives (if any) are still lacking. According to TM management had earlier said that further details and formal award of the two projects should be concluded by Nov this year (2015). TM is expected to invest RM1.8bn in HSBB2 over 3 years and RM1.6bn in SUBB over 5 years.

According to the 11th Malaysia Plan, the HSBB 2 proposes to cover all state capitals and selected high-impact growth areas that will see 250k ports encompassing 410k premises by end-2016. It also eyes 100Mbps broadband being made available to all households in the areas involved by 2020. On the other hand, under the SUBB initiative covering suburban and rural areas, it is targeting additional 420k ports encompassing 750k premises will be installed within five years from the start of the project with 20 Mbps broadband made available to 50% of households by 2020.


-As at 30 June 2015, Opcom has net cash of 25 sen per share.

-Strong and favorable political ties.

Focus is on Dato’ Seri Mukhriz Mahathir who is the largest shareholder while his brother Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the group.

-Expand its overseas business.

Opcom unit Opcom Niaga Sdn Bhd’s move last year to buy a 40% equity in Unigel (UK) Ltd, in which Executive Director Eric Chhoa has a controlling 60% stake, will help expand its overseas business. Unigel manufactures thixotropic gel at two plants in the UK and US that is sold to over 60 customers globally in the fibre-optic cable industry.
The increasing fiber optic cable production globally means increasing demand for the gel, especially from developing countries in Asia. OPCOM expects its investment in Unigel to bring positive contribution to OPCOM Group results.
Eric Chhoa said the acquisition would contribute positively to the company’s profit as Unigel’s profit was expected to average around US$1.5 million for the year of 2015.

Why Litrak value has emerged again ?


-The next toll hike for Litrak’s LDP concessions is scheduled in 2016 (entitled to a 48% toll increase from January 2016 under the concession agreement).

-SPRINT starts generating profit this year.
As a result of the improvement in traffic volume on SPRINT Highway plus the increase in toll rates on 1 January 2015, for Damansara and Kerinchi Links, as allowed for under the Concession Agreement, SPRINT finally managed to be in a profitable position for the current year ended 31 March 2015.


Why Litrak upgrade to buy?

Due to:
-steady dividend payout, dividends will be at least 20sen in FY16.
-growth certainty from rate hikes bound by the concession agreement (if the toll rates are not revised, it will get compensation from the goverment as stipulated in the CA).
-its stable earnings trajectory (defensive nature),
-traffic volume continues to grow.
-strong free cash flow.

A Bright Recovery Year?

Bright Packaging is a cash rich, well-established regional FMCG packaging company ( serving the tobacco, liquor, confectionery and pharmaceutical industries) and one of the largest aluminium foil packaging players in Asia Pacific.

Bright Packaging will be a great and interesting company to be invested into based on:

-Capacity expansion.
The expansion may allow the company to meet its current and future demand of the growing clientele and possibly to cater to new markets.(expanding into the Russian market). With two new production lines becoming operational in April 2015, Bright Packaging is positioned to double revenue for 2015.

-Declining raw material prices positive for FY15.
FY15 promises to be a better year for the company. Prices of raw materials like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) films have been falling since 4Q14, in line with the decline in crude oil prices. This is not a surprise as PE and PP films are derivatives of crude oil.

-Diversified exports markets with reputable clientele.
More than 90% of its products are export oriented. Major clients include Philip Morris and its affiliates, Marlboro, Dunhill, Lucky Strike, Kent, Pall Mall and Benson & Hedges. In the household goods and beverage segments, the group supplies to Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal and various affiliates of Diageo, Unilever and Procter & Gamble.

-Inelastic demand.
Over 90% of the products produced by Bright Packaging are supplied to the food and beverage packaging industry. The company supplies flexible packaging products to MNCs in the food industry. The food and beverage industry is generally a resilient business during periods of economic downturns.

-Favourable USD/MYR impact.
Expected to benefit significantly from foreign exchange moving in company favour. Bright Packaging sales are denominated in US dollars which has appreciated 15% against the Ringgit. The global macroeconomics indicators continue to show signs of dollar strength for 2015 which should bode well for Bright Packaging.

-Very strong balance sheet with undemanding valuations.
Bright Packaging is a debt free company with strong net cash per share of RM0.29 (accounted for 64% of share price).

Bright Packaging will be looking to trend higher in the coming days.

----Why Signature with a BUY recommendation?----

Trading at a low trailing P/E, which is undervalued as compared to its peers.
-Healthy balance sheet and cash flows.
-Net cash position.
-Potential higher dividend yield in future. Its high DY would certainly make it an income stock.
- It is on track to meet our full-year forecast, despite the increasingly challenging economic environment. Its resilient earnings are due to a large secured order book, which will sustain earnings for the next 12-18 months.
-Profit margins should expand due to growing of economies of scales.
-It will sustain double-digit EPS growth for more than three years.


<<<Confluence of opportunities>>>
-While the overall property sector is seeing signs of a slowdown, Signature's operations have just started to gain momentum.
Signature's earnings will be supported by:-
-Being the industry’s dominant player for modular kitchen systems (60% to 70% ofmarket share), the company is poised to handle most of the industry’s major contracts.
-The strong domestic property boom particularly in the high-end market. Job secured this year should be even stronger than last year.
-Favourable housing trends for premier kitchen players;
-An intensified 11MP and IDR, hence, contributing to stronger Project Sales.
-Rising demand and supply of luxury homes;
-Increase in housing supply.
-Management has guided that its current order book stood at RM160mn as at Apr-15. This outstanding RM160mn would be converted to revenue and recognised in FY16 and FY17. In the meantime, Signature’s tender book has hit a record high level of RM400mn, which can be used to replenish its order book, given the tender success rate of 50-60%.
