on 17th Jan 2022 i wrote Is AYS a good investment stock at 65 sen.
I concluded and sum up my closing opinion with these remarks.

"Investment is about the future and share price is value at future earning growth and PE multiple.
The next one to 2 years FY22 /23 the annualized future earning for AYS would be
6m x 4 = 24m. Just a guess basing on past years quarterly performance.
With 418m share capital the future earning per share is 24m divided by 418m is 5.7sen.
At current price of 65sen it is trading at a prospective PE of 11.4x .
For a small cap company with erratic profit performance in a cyclical business, Buffett would say a fair company but selling at a wonderful price and has no intention to invest.

1. Last week it closed at 57sen and the market has assigned a diminishing prospective PE of 10x. A prospective PE of 8x which is not unreasonably expected arising from the bearish market sentiment , a small cap stock with no institutions and quality shareholders would price the counter at 45.5sen. PE of 7x is 40sen

2.Perhaps one should know in the most recent 3rd quarter, despite AYS announcing a profit of 20.82m and a 9 months cumulative profit of 91.18 m it is a worrying concern that it has generated a negative cash flow of Rm72.9 m from operation. Where has the money gone?

3.The company has financed its operation through borrowing. Its total liabilities of Bank borrowings had increased to(15.4 m + 328.9) =344.3m whereas its current market capital (418m x 48.5 sen) is only 203m.

The cash flow statement has a fresh borrowing of 50m of cash generated from financing activities of bank borrowing in the 3rd quarter.

4.The company experienced a remarkable increase in inventories during the quarter. The inventories closing balance has shot up from 278m to 560m. That is a spectacular rise of 282m. The company is enduring an enormous challenge to push its stock with minimal success. Hence, money and resources and capital are inefficiently lock up in the huge inventories.

5. In elementary accounting, opening stock add purchase less closing stock equal cost of good sold. So, if the closing stock is high as in AYS, the cost of good sold is low therefore the Gross profit is very high. In AYS, the stock inventory has increased by 282 m as extracted from balance sheet.
Hence, this also means the profit is hidden in the bulk of stock that has sadly not been sold.
2 AYS is a company trading in steel and steel related products. This means steel is an input material to their products. So when price of steel goes up their material cost increase and will erode their margin and profit. We have seen the enormous rise in inventories and deteriorating profit performance for 3 consecutive quarters.

In conclusion when everyone cheer about the raising steel price, it is in fact in my opinion a burden to the company.

This is my personal and fundamental perception of the counter.
All the numbers are extracted from the balance sheet.
My view may or may not be correct.

The adverse opinion report was initiated by kenaga following the result announcement yesterday. Incidentally Kenaga growth fund is holding about 11.4m shares. Today's abnormal volumn and sell down could be from the fund. Once this is taken out and shares changed hand, the price will stabilize and more reflective of its earnings and PE multiple and net cash flow from operation.
The perception and target price issued by PBB and AmInvest and Kenaga are vastly different.
ignore the noise and focus on fundamental.

Today is the day for the smart and responsive management of Ptrans to act and take the appropriate action. The share price is undervalued and trading at low PE and falling despite its record year of profit performance.

The company has 645m shares and 82m cash and bank balance. It can contemplate to implement a share buyback of 2.0% or about 12.8m shares gradually and progressively to take out the weak holders by ultilizing 10% of the cash or 8.2m.

Going forward and for the subsequent quarters the company may choose to announce a dividend in spices to conserve the cash for current projects development.

All is not lost.
On a full year 12 months basis, the revenue of Ptrans increased from 119m to 138m and the profit after tax increased from 41.8m to 53.2m. Therefore, the percentage increase for the revenue and profitability is 15.9% and 27.2% respectively. Ptrans has not only been able to withstand the severely challenging and damaging operating business environment in the midst of pandemic but has successfully triumph over it. The number says it all. The management and its team is truly remarkable and commendable.

For the 12 months in 2021, Ptrans has generated an insane amount of Rm105m net cash from operation. That is an increase of 84% from the net cash of 57m generated in 2020. The cash generated internally is almost sufficient to build an integrated public transportation terminal.

The cash and bank balance has increased from 22m to 80.6m. The company is in a sound and healthy position to meet its working capital requirements and has sufficient cash to consistently pay quarterly dividend.

In conclusion Ptrans is company that has
1, excellent team of management
2. consistently generate earning and earning growth for 5 successive years
3 pay quarterly dividend
4 generate enormous net cash from operation. 105m (2021) and 57m (2020)
5 at 62sen it is trading at a low PE of 7.5x
6 being fully integrated , it has a competitive advantage.
7 excellent growth prospects. Now it owns and operates two 2 IPTT , a third one is under construction and another one in the planning.
8 new revenue and management fees from new terminal management contracts

Heaven describes optimism and Holland tend to associate with pessimism. One must be optimistic to invest in any counter. You must believe that you have done the best TA technical analysis and FA fundamental analysis and trust the company will perform well and its share price will appreciate and continue to stay invested even if the counter is facing a short term setback.
Stay away from the screen and ignore the daily price fluctuations. These are just insignificant noise in the market.
Trust your analysis and believe that you are on a cruise ship to Paris. Slowly but surely

Appreciate your input, additional information and invaluable advice.
May your investment be fruitful and multiply.

Basing on previous revenue and earnings record, Ptrans reported 35m in revenue and 13m in profit. Therefore the profit margin is more than 35%.
According to the Edge write up, the logistics tenants B&L and UFO will have a revenue contribution of 3m per month. That is 36m a year. In addition, the 1st. TMC business will bring in new revenue of 1.2m monthly or 14.4m a year. Assuming the 2nd TMC business which is a much bigger one currently under negotiation would bring in say 20m yearly, this would mean
the new revenue contribution going forward would be 36m+14.4m+20m = 70.4m say 70m

Question
what does 70m means?

1. The current annual turnover for Ptrans is 140m. This means there will be an incredibly huge increase of 50% top line growth in the coming years.

2. Considering that the currently achievable profit margin of 35% is taken as a guide, there would be a new profit contribution of 70m x 35% is 24.5m from the new ventures.

3 For the 9MFY21 PTrans reported revenue 105m and profit of 40.5m . Market expects for the whole year the revenue would be 140m and expected earning 54m.

4 For year 2022 and if everything materialize, the revenue would be 140 +70 is 210m
the profit would be 54 + 24.5 is 78.5m

5. perhaps, this is the reason why institutions, and big Funds, Government agency, and assets management companies and foundations have suddenly become top 30 shareholders in Ptrans.

6 if you buy Ptrans, it will not move up straight away. It might even slide down a little. If this happens, it is not alarming because Ptrans has all the ingredients of a long term value investing stock.
It will go up slowly, surely and safely.

7 This is not a recommendation to buy. But if you subscribe to long term value investing I hope you will be passionately curious.

Beside having a strong balance sheet,revenue and earning growth, as well as consistent and increasing dividend payout it is worthy to note that the shareholders profiles of PerakTransit has drastically changed. In the past few years Ptrans has only been able to attract mainly retail investors. However, beginning 2021 the TOP 30 shareholders has successfully included reputable institutions and unit trust Fund and insurance companies.

They are EPF, KWP, PHILLIP CAPITAL MGMT, KENAGA GROWTH FUND, MAYBANK SMALL CAP FUND, TOKIO MARINE INSURANCE, GREAT EASTERN TAKAFUL AND THO FOUNDATION.
These are long term investors who believe in the excellent prospects and trajectory growth that would have a far reaching effect in the earnings and values of perak Transit in the coming years. They have done the research and analysis. It can't go seriously wrong. So, follow the institution, invest with them,it works.

It is unwittingly reckless to compare Cristiano Ronaldo with Soo chin Ann although both are footballers.

Truly glad to know that we shared similar opinion.
It is hope that AYS concurred with our perception and act on it accordingly for its market cap to scale and achieve new height.

AYS has 2 qtrs of excellent profit performance and at 70sen, it is trading at a prospective PE of less than 3x. While we do not know why it is trading at a wildly unreasonable and absurdly low PE,the management could look into and improve the quality profiles of its shareholders.

The latest AR showed that the largest 30 shareholders holding 80% of the shares are mainly Chew,Ann,Tan,Lim,Chia, Ong,Tay,Ng,Mak,Wong,Jee,Toh,Low,Au,Cheng,Chong, Tan and Gan.
It would be impressive if they can bring onboard as shareholders the institutions and funds such as EPF, TH KWAP, Angkatan T, Public Mutual, Prudential or any other impressive names.
If this is accomplished, the share price could stabilize at fair value market PE multiples.

Just like a product, management needs to promote the attractiveness of the company by engaging the institutions and corporate presentation.

It is a platform use for sharing, learning and earning.

On 17th Jan 2022, I wrote,"
The next 0ne to 2 years annualized future earning for AYS would be 6m x 4 = 24m."
That would mean 2023 and 2024. It is just an expression of opinion.

AYS already announced
1st qtr profit of 32.35m
2nd qtr profit 24.76m

Congratulation on your remarkable stock selection and its commendable price performance and persistent appreciation despite the falling DJ index and the overall gloomy sentiment caused by a potential raise in US interest rate to align with the raising rate of inflation.

Dato Sri bought 110,000 shares. He therefore expects the share price to go up.
This insider buying may be taken as a sign of confidence in the company's earning and growth.
company is expected to announce its financial result by the end of February.
This endeavor signal an opportunity to invest in PTrans.

1.All companies preparing for listing would detail how it arrives at the IPO price base on annualized earning and price earning multiples in its prospectus. According to the prospectus the offer price has been severely overprice to benefit the owners. Basing on the earning result the EPS is 3.71 sen. Hence the IPO price of Rm1.07 is selling at pe 28.8x.
Hence, It is not a surprise to see the share price collapsed on 1st trading day.

2. The IPO price and the pricing strategy also means the boss has taken all the money and leave nothing on the table for the investors. The sold by offer- for sale 139.5m shares at 1.07 and pocket Rm149m cash. They already cash out and have no interest to support the share price.

3.The biggest victims are the managers and senior executives down to the supervisors to whom were given pink form and subscribed fully to the IPO. These are the employees who had over the years demonstrated loyalty, honesty and responsibility to the company. They contributed diamond to the company and were rewarded with a box of sand plus a snake on first day of trading.
Everyone in the company lost money. Every investors lost money. The BIG winner is the boss and his family.

4 it is not difficult to imagine that the moral and confidence level of employees in the company has sink to rock bottom. The paid 107 and now valued at 82sen and continued falling.

5 the only way to mitigate the horrendously unpleasant experience in the life of the naive and innocent employees is for the boss to buy back all the employees's shares to absorb the losses through the family IPO proceed.
OTHERWISE the company is expected to see a total decline in employee performance and contribution across departments.

Warren Buffett's investment advice with Cinderella reference

This is what he wrote,

“The line separating investment and speculation, which is never bright and clear, becomes blurred still further when most market participants have recently enjoyed triumphs. Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money. After a heady experience of that kind, normally sensible people drift into behavior akin to that of Cinderella at the ball.

They know that overstaying the festivities - that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future - will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice.

But they nevertheless hate to miss a single minute of what is one helluva party. Therefore, the giddy participants all plan to leave just seconds before midnight. There’s a problem, though: They are dancing in a room in which the clocks have no hands.”

Last done price 64sen.

Is it possible for the Arrogant Young Swan to soar like an eagle to 1.00 longitude northwards with tiny geese wings. It is not gamely impossible. In fact it is highly probably, but someone must be responsible.
Let us look at the fundamental theory of demand and supply and its determinant of equilibrium price.
The supply of share or the issued share capital of AYS is relatively fixed at 418m shares.

1.The owner holds 264.70m shares according to latest Bursa announcement.

2.The placee bought 38.04m shares at 76sen in a private placement arrangement on 3/11/2021

3.The price has since tumbled and they collapsed it further for cost averaging. It is not unbelievable if the have purchased additional 38.04m shares at around 60sen to increase their total holding to 76.08m shares and reduce their average cost price to 68sen.

4. Assume our senior investor and generous philanthropist holds 3% or 12m shares

5 Assume the cronies and friendly parties to the company and placee hold 2% or 8m shares.

6. Next, if you add up 264.7+38.04+38.04+12+8 you get 360.78m shares.

7 Take 418m minus 360.78m you are now aware that it is highly possible that there are only about 57.22m shares effectively in circulation. This is terrifyingly small.

When the supply of shares has diminished and dwindled to an acutely small number, it is easily manipulative and horrendously dictative. There was a sell down last week before the great recovery. A lot more shares could have been scooped up by the cronies. The counter is now overwhelmingly delighted and overjoyed to be in an evil and devilishly created corner* position

The party has started.
Welcome to the AYS ball of the year.
You are like Cinderella in a pretty gown arriving on horse and carriage.
The music has begun.
Let us dance.

*Remember to leave before 12 mid night*.

Thereafter, the horse and carriage will revert back to pumpkin and mice.

Some analyst reports consist of bias opinion and over rated valuation. Let us compare and contrast Kawan AND Perak Transit
These are the performance parameters.

KAWAN PTRANS
EPS 7.19 8.32
ROE 7.96 10.68
DY 1.72 % 4.74%
DPS 3 Sen 3.2Sen
PROFIT 28.4m 53.6m
NTA 1.00 0.77
P/NTA 1.74X 1.13X
PE 21.8X 8.17X
market capital 626m 439m

SHARE PRICE Rm1.74 68sen

These numbers show that Ptrans is more superior and attractive in all aspect and yet it is trading at less than 40% of the value of Kawan.

Would you unfriend Kawan to ride on PTrans ?
A price earning multiple of 10x would price PTrans at 83sen.

Those who know don"t speak. Those who speak don't know.

PTrans has successfully produced a set of great result. Its 9MFY21 is 40.5m and 9MFY20 was 28.7m. There is a 41% increase in profit performance and hence, the result is commendable and praiseworthy. Ptrans is resilient and has been able to withstand the severely unfavorable operating environment arising from the pandemic and triumph over it.

It is therefore unwittingly reckless and embarrassingly ignorant to place Ptrans in the same category as SD.
A wise man is one who knows what he does not know.

" we all know light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak" Said a famous scientist.

share consolidation does not create value. It is akin to previously holding four RM5 note and now holding one RM20 note. The total value remain the same. Although share consolidation would drive up share price but a proportionate reduction in the number of shares will put the value of share holdings back to its original position. It is naive to believe that one could benefit and profit from the exercise of share consolidation in which the share price is speculative and manipulative. In the end go for fundamental. ONLY profit will drive up share price. And sadly K company is seriously lacking

Mega contract of RM2.6b between 2 listed companies ended up like small children throwing tiny stones into useless mining pool with no ripple. when good news does not drive up share price, be cautious.

Techbond is currently trading at 48sen and a 4 - quarter rolling PE of 22 times. For a company whose issued share capital is 529m and a considerably small revenue of 22m per quarter, is more than fully value. There is not much meat now in this counter. For all honesty,in the immediate term the price will not advance much unless intentionally and artificially manipulated and push up
to benefit someone.

Techbond was listed in 2018 with initial public offering price of 66sen a share. Over the years it has given1 free warrant for every 2 shares and also 5 bonus shares for 4 shares. if you have purchased 4000 shares at its IPO the value of your shareholding is calculated as follows.

Initial outlay of capital is 4000 x 0.66 is Rm2640
After 5 for 4 bonus you would end up with 9000 shares
Today,s value of 9000 shares is 9000 x 0.48 is Rm4320
2000 free warrant x 0.17 is Rm340

Total value is 4320 + 340 is 4660
investment return is ( 4660 /2640 ) - 1 is 76%

Founder and his family did not sell any shares during IPO.
Only In Aug they sold 50m warrant via DBT and the warrant price shoot up immediately from 25 sen to 31.5sen but did not sustain and collapse all the way to 16sen.

They dispose another 50m warrants in Oct via DBT and made an attempt to jack up the warrant price again. This time it is slightly difficult because the 1st 50m disposed in Aug has come back to haunt them. Besides, the 4.5m disposal of mother share by major shareholder in the open mkt just days ago was confusing and damaging to those who intend to see an upwards movement.

Mother share continues to show sign of weakness because Market is reacting to the annual 7 sen step down exercise price of warrants on 4th Oct 2021.

Yesterday the warrant price was 41sen and mother share was Rm1.66

The holder of warrants has two options to choose from for him to get one mother share.

First he can surrender the warrant and buy a bank draft for RM1.56 and convert the warrant into mother share. His cost is the market value of the surrendered warrant plus the conversion price that is 41+ 1.56 = 1.97
Hence,he unwittingly paid 197 for a share that is worth 1.66

Second, he can sell his warrant in the open market for 41sen and than top up 1.25 to buy one mother share in the open market at 1.66.
In this case he can save 1.56 minus 1.25 equal to 31sen per share.
Two days ago some one convert 136622 shares.

Therefore he paid extra 136622 x 0.31 = RM42,352.

The OR has ceased trading. Company is waiting for holders of original rights to subscribe for the new shares at 22 sen and get one free warrant. Last day of payment is 27/9/21. Ironically, the mother share is now trading at 18.5 sen. Would you subscribe? Is there any logic?

After a while,market would realize that the cash alone Rm 423m is bigger than the market capital of the whole company Rm356m. Often times there is a mismatch between the value of the company and the price that the market has assigned to it. The market is efficient and investors are not ignorance. Very soon the pricing mismatch will narrow and someday even surpass it. May be weeks maybe months. This will happen when the management announce that it has found a way to use the money wisely and mightily for the expansion of its business that would generate new revenue and profit.

This company belongs to Johari the 2nd Finance Minister in the previous Government. We he bought over and became a major shareholder he began to dispose of the non core business to raise cash for strategic growth and sustaining profitability of the company in the future.
Yesterday, it announced results. The profit caught my eyes. It came from disposal gain of 97m.
Upon further and closer examination of the balance sheet of the company now has RM423M cash and RM38m borrowing. So the net cash is RM385m.
The issued shares capital is 556m shares and at 63sen the mkt cap is Rm353m whereas the net cash alone is 385m without including the assets and properties. Strange

if you buy this share the cash on hand is already bigger than the market capital of the entire company.
It is a steal, so cheap that it is like you pay 63sen and get the rest of the properties for free.

See how it goes in the coming days.

issued shares 556m
market capital 353m

The disposal exercise has raised the group cash position to Rm423m
Company borrowing Rm38m
Net cash is Rm423 minus Rm38 is RM385

This means the cash is more than the market cap of the whole company.

Sunway –PA
I discovered this by chance. It is convertible preference shares and a cheap entry that allows you to ride on the growth of the mother share and at the same time enjoys dividend payment twice a year. In the past I have never invested in any preference shares. After some studies, I found this one is intrinsically valuable, attractive and in fact irresistible.
Sunway –PA was created by people who have profound wisdom, deep insight and enormously huge amount of knowledge and intelligence with a clear vision and mission to add value and make money. It was undertaken in a manner in which fertile water was flowing back into the owner’s field. In short it benefits them and those people who seize the opportunity to patiently ride with them freely. This is an extraordinary example of entrepreneur with great minds whose PROFIT is made at the time of buying.
On 6th Nov 2021 Sunway issued a circular that it was offering to sell 977m RCPS at 1.00 of which 600m+ of original rights are eventually allotted to the owner because annual reports say the family own 64% of the company. The RCPS comes with 5.25% of excellent interest. Considering commercial banks now pay 1.8% for FD, hence SUNWAY is paying 290% more than the banking rate. This in itself is already unusually attractive.
The RCPS is convertible into mother share at Rm1.00 a ratio of one PA for one mother sure. On 6/11/20 even before it comes into existence, the mother share was trading at 1.25 that is 25sen above conversion price. The potential paper profit is already 600m x 0.25 is 150m.
When the fund raising exercise was completed and started trading on the 8/12/20 share price has gone up to 1.45. This means 45sen above conversion price or a paper profit of 600 x 0.45 is 270m
In just a few months the share price has hit a height of 175 and now holding firmly at between 160 and 165. That is 60sen above conversion price or a paper gain of 600m x 0.60 is 360m.
In addition to this paper gain holders of 600m PA will enjoy 600m x 5.25% or 31.5m interest payment annually or guarantee a total of 158m until maturity.
The PA has huge potential. With every passing day, it is moving towards maturity and the price gap will be getting smaller. Because the exchange ratio is 1: 1eventually, the PA will catch up to the mother share. When that happens in 4 to 5 years’ time Tan Seri could make billion when share price hit beyond 2.50. This may or may not happen but it has great potential and realistically achievable.
The catalyst include divestment or listing of Sunway Healthcare Holdings, expansion in retail pharmacy through M&A – MULTICARE, new venture into Digital Banking just to name a few.
I can’t analysis profit and loss account and much less understand about cash flow statement and has no ability to unmask the strength and weakness of balance sheet.
My investment method is simple and that is to follow the smart, rich and famous. Today we are counting Tan Sri’s money. Hopefully someday we can see our profit.
Please be forewarned. Investing in the PA is unexciting and could be very frustrating and boring because it is illiquid. Some famous investment Guru would say it is like watching paint dry or watching grass grows. The daily trading volume is inordinately small.
Nonetheless, the rewards will come slowly, surely and safely. This is not a recommendation to buy. If you buy, there is no guarantee you would make profit. Instead you will feel good, great and awesome to be associated with a company whose name and logo is a symbol of trust, quality and excellence.

It was great and awesome to see Ta win share price shot to the sky and hit 45sen quite recently. Regrettably, by one master stroke the management has successfully bashed it down to teen penny stock.The corporate exercise to raise fund involving a 3 : 1 right issue at 6sen a share has massively enlarged the share base by 2.556bn new rights shares. The enlarged issued share capital has ballooned to 3.4bn shares. The new shares are burdensome and have somewhat damaged the capital structure. It is earning dilutive and will hugely diminish the future earnings per share EPS and hence the long term share price.

Although the company has made huge progress the management must be mindful that Ta win is still a loss making company and remains in the red for the last eight (8) quarters.

Just as we thought the storm was over, the management has immediately initiated another corporate exercise to reward the shareholders and employees with free warrants and employees share incentive scheme. Some experienced investors would view the free warrants as an exceptionally clever but devilishly inventive sweetener by the management to keep the large number of minority shareholders from massively selling the additional rights shares. Truly, a sell down has been seemingly avoided.

In addition, the management has envisioned that the indicative exercise price of warrant would be 13.5sen hence making it irresistible. Fixing the exercise price at a discount and the forthcoming warrants trading in the money, the company foresees and expects total conversion that would again add 1.49bn new shares. And of course when this happens the company would be enriched by RM200M in addition to the RM153m it has just received. When the 500m SIS comes on stream the share base will be close to 5.5bn.
What is the implication of having of 5.5bn shares capital?
It simply means to make an EPS of 1sen the company has to make a profit of 1% x 5.5bn that is 55m. If the company is efficient and has a profit after tax of 10% it will have to generate a turnover of 550m to make 1sen EPS. That is burdensome.

Although many minority shareholders are bleeding and have to endure the losses, they remain steadfastly loyal and have great faith in the management. Sadly your major partner has partially abandoned you by disposing tens of million and ceased to be a substantial shareholders.

We are not fearful even if the price keeps falling. However,it will be horrendous and extremely unpleasant if the management does not follow through with all the projects and keep its promise

Freight Management Holdings (FMH) is also a logistic company that is well managed and in the same category with Harbour. The company has just reported profit of 6m for the 3rd qtr and the cumulative 9 months profit is 18.4m. This compares less favourably with Harbour that announced 13.98m and cumulative 9 months profit of 35.4m. These profit performance numbers are vastly different.

FMH company has cash 47m and long term debts of 57.7m and short term borrowings of 33.5m which adds up the total borrowings to 91m. Again these numbers compare acutely unfavorably with Harbour that has 213.2m cash and borrowing of 66.3m
FMH company has reserve retained earning of 192m whereas Harbour has retained earning of 249m. It pays 2 sen dividend and Harbour pays 1 sen. It balance sheet is weaker and free cash flow from operation is lesser and its gearing is higher compare with Harbour.
Despite its less attractive numbers yet FMH is trading at RM1.78 and has a market capital of RM497m whereas Harbour is sadly trading at 90sen and a market capital of 360m.

Basing on these numbers of comparison i believe someday Harbour which is currently unknown, unrated and not cover by analyst will someday move closer to FMH when the public investors get to know this lesser known company.

This logistic company is quite well managed. Company just reported profit of 13.98m for its 3rd quarter. The cumulative 9Mths profit is 35.4m and this has exceeded one whole year profit of 26.6m for 2019.
The company has cash 152m, investment securities 25.6m and other current assets 34.9m. These add up the liquid cash to 213.2m. This number is impressive. Its short term borrowings is 29.5m and long term debts is 36.8m ,Therefore total debts is 66.3m and the gearing is manageable.
Company has 249m retained earnings and pay 1sen dividend. It has strong balance sheet and sound financial ratio. Share price is on the uptrend but the volumn traded is not very great. Market is always in favour of gloves, plantation, oil n gas and lately steel but NOT logistic counters. Hopefully, someday it will shine.

The PA is a better investment from hereon. There is a 47sen discount.

Today the Sunway PA is worth the interest payments for 5 years plus the value of mother shares. That is (52.5 x 5) + 1700 = RM1962.5. For this to happen, you must wait 5 years.
Alternatively you can calculate the Present Value of a series of payment RM52.5 every year for 5 years plus RM 1700 at the end of 5th year. SO,

PV {5% PV Factor} = 52.5 [0.95+0.91+0.86+0.82+0.78] + [1700 X 0.78] = RM1552

Share market is not engineering science. It is an art. There are hundred of factors influencing buying behavior and selling patterns. As at today market is only willing to pay 1220 for the same thing that is worth 1552 today and 1962 in 5 years. Its true value has been sadly neglected. Someday it will catch up. Hopefully..

JPM is surprisingly vindicated hardly 3 months after analysis report.

Suncon a subsidiary of Sunway announced good result.
See what will sunway announce on 25th.

No IR and mgmt does not address investors' concern. Investors are anxious and distressed. Without clarity, they are shifting their interest elsewhere.

Unlike IOI which has upstream and downstream industries, KM financial performance is quite straight forward. You can track it in advance with reasonable accuracy by monitoring its monthly output performance that has been announced in Bursa.

Here are the numbers

3Q 4Q % Diff
FFB 68990 56355 (18.3% )

CPO 75497 56274 (25.4%)

PK 19187 12913 (32.6%)

profit 33.16 ???

KM will announce its 4Q result in march. Basing on these numbers, it is quite unlikely to match 3Q performance.

incredibly insane.

The company announced 28.8m profit. This is 109% better than last year corresponding figure, but 13.05% lower compare with the current year preceding quarter. Although the average selling price of Rm2865 /M/T is high, it is not enough to mitigate the huge fall in FFB and CPO output for the 3 months ending Oct 2020. KL has a very strong balance sheet and continues to generate huge cash flow. Considering the current 9 month financial performance and the CPO and FFB output for NOV month, I would envisage the whole year EPS to be around 12.5sen.
The fair value at various reasonably acceptable PE multiples are as follow.
PE 12X IS 150
PE 13X IS 162
PE14X IS 175.

All is not lost. In my opinion,the 3 sen special dividend would sustain the share price.

Good strategy. Smart move.

It is unwittingly reckless for a good company to produce a clip and use social media, internet, i3 platform to undertake investors relation (IR) functions to promote the company. You unknowingly and unintentionally degrade yourself and attract the wrong types of investors who are mostly short term opportunists, contra players and day traders.
To create impeccable image and reputation,the wise thing to do is for IR to organize analyst briefing and invite quality investors such as Public Mutual EPF Prudential and local institutional Funds to come on board.
Until then the counter will see volume & volatility and unsustainable share price.

3rd quarter result announcement is due today. Disappointingly it has not being announced yet.

At the start of the pandemic in Feb this year the share price was 1.25 If you have purchased 1 lot or 1000 shares, your investment have grown exponentially and insanely. During this 9 months, the company has rewarded its shareholders with a 1 for 1 bonus issue plus 1 for 45 share dividend.
In the end you end up with 2044 shares. The value of your investment has become 2044 x 6.39 = Rm13063 .
For Rm1250 it has ballooned to 13k or about 1000%
Despite the fall, long term investors and bosses still enjoy bumper harvest when the year 2020 comes to an end.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time ,but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Let's see by next year 2021 whether this famous quote by A.Lincoln is meaningful and respectful.
