19% loss in capital still got return. Is low but at least there are giving small return to shareholder. Alot of share not only not giving return but the share price keep dropping. The epic example is MAS
in stock market TA come first instead of FA. One thing, if next qr company pay dividen and tommorow good news come out, one word for u, dont "bullshit" other investor by not telling the right favt ok. Keep my word until next qr ok.
Not telling the right fact? Tomorrow news isnt fact, it is forecasting. TA come first, I agree to disagree, you have your way, I have my way. And like I say im writing for long term, in the short term, you can TA the shit out of it if you want.
Par value rm0.20. Using $1 dollar test. Did not explain what is this? This is so called simple. Aiyo the company par value only RM0.20. Use what $1dollar test? Somemore every company profit changing from time to time. Sometime business good sometime not then u keep on invest that company if history result is good? As a value investor, i saw your post too naive and keep on using so called "professional terms" to cover your weakness in other section such as accounting, casting, business knowledge, current affairs.
Just now say wan debate. Now say complicated. Hahahahaha. Dun know what to talk is it? Anyway not i saying PE10 is the basic. Is another author. He write good then follow. Not good just dont folo. Need to flame people?
Elit96: Anyway he just know how to use historical data to analysis. I dun know what is the big announcement but i dont dare to giv comment on it. Also i dont know whether it is true or not.
Whether tomorrow is big or small, it doesnt concern me, im writing based on long term fact. The economics of the business doesnt change just because a quarter turns out to be good.
If u invest in long term, u didnt concern on tomorrow thing? Hahaha. Ok let assume. Just assume tomorrow this company enter into a long term contract with a great reputable supplier? Then how?
Ur test is ok. But ur explaination and conclusion is totally misleading. You can use that test. But in the end ur title fail. Just like other newspaper. Just to "talk big" about non existence thing.
Economy of business doesnt change? Then why u invest in flbhd? The company is beneficial from USD dollar. Are you holding for long term? If the usd excahnge rate go back to USD1= RM3.20 will u invest? Hahaha naive talk man. No matters how good is the company. As long as the environment change, u need to adapt it.
Anyway i do not deny that flbhd is a good company. Just that i using this example to discuss with you
I invest in Flbhd not because of forex, it is because of the cash in the company and decision to buyback, period. I invest regardless where the forex is.
But the price did not go up alot 2014. Then u can conclude that this company not good?
Also, the share price of this company only move significantly when the US dollar going up. So does the historical stastic still important for you? Yeah the company may be good in fundamental but the share still remain the same throughout 2014.
I didnt discover flbhd until early 2015, the price hasnt runup back then. Kssng is slightly different as in they are involved in palm oil, palm oil is a capital intensive business, to buy lands, years to grow, and sell at commodity price. Same for many cash-rich property stocks, they need the money to buy more lands for development, those cash cannot be return to shareholders through dividend or buyback, they need to be reinvested for the future. Flbhd generate 10-15mil profit a year, only need to use 2-3mil of their cash each year, with cash at 90mil, they do not know what to do with it, thats why their dividend yield is at 10.7% of my buy price.
Yeah it is good that they rewarding the shareholder. What my concern is:
The price have been moving up about 100percent (i dont know exactly what the is percentage i just roughly calculate) during the year. Some of the important part also need to concern. Out of rm9.6mil profit, rm4.2mil is a gain on exchange rate. So the real gain for the company is only rm5.2mil. If calculate long term, eps 5sen x 4 = 20sen. Currently rm2.74 is overvalued.
Second thing. Actually the business is not expanding. The real reason increase is because of forex. Forex have gaining 32percent. U calculate using 34mil x 132percent u will get around 44.8mil of revenue comparing last year same quarter.
For jun 2015, the result increase due to delay in custom clearance. Some ppl read it as the company business growing. Actually is delay in counting the revenue. Hence it already fully value.
Every company have their own value. For me buy low sell high is the ways to earn a decent profit. Flbhd will be a very good buy at rm1.40, decent buy at rm1.80 but not a good buy at RM2.74
PE10 just a simple concept to value a company. Just like coldeye say. But if PE10 support with other reason such as business grow and good fundamental, it will be more good and realible investment
You are correct, the business itself isnt a strong growth biz, mainly because they dont intend to expand, and as Icon8888 say, it is a very commodity business as well. Without the forex gain, the revenue/profit would have gone up a bit only. In my opinion fair value is at 2.50-3.00, so current price upside is very limited. Unless they decide to return a large portion of cash to investors.
If you are interested you can look into Mercury. They used to have a lot of cash too, now they went and acquire 70% of a construction company for $37mil. Most from cash and borrow some. The construction company guarantee them $6.6 million profit for next 3 years, or $20mil, (70% = 14mil) because of outstanding order book of $120mil. Mercury main biz (paint) earns about 5-6mil a year. So the construction biz will almost double the profit. The recent q result release few days ago already show 100% jump on revenue qoq and 50% jump on profit. The only downside risk is main business is not growing due to GST and consumer weak spending.
Just that the bank borrowing increase RM30mil so much while cash left RM9.4mil only. Anyway they acquire new company make me interested to know more about the company. Anyway thx for the recommendation for mercury. I will try to do research on it.
Nice article keep it up. I would suggest using the Altman-Z score to determine if a company will go bankrupt within 2 years time. Its accuracy since the 80s is roughly 90% so it should provide a better insight on this subject.
My opinion on Mercury. Dont shoot me if im not correct. Just for discussion.
1) Profit guarantee of RM6.6million per year - 70% = RM4.62million 2) Profit for manufacturing factor (using 1/10/2014 to 30/9/2015) - For 30/9/2015, i will excluded construction part - 7.6mil minus 2.6mil + 1.3mil = RM6.3mil
Revenue for PBSB 2012 : RM96 mil 2013 : RM119 mil 2014 : RM61.8 mil 2015 to 2017 : RM120 mil (according to the contract and might be more) - so one year around RM40mil
Profit for PBSB 2012 : RM2.7mil 2013 : RM2.2mil 2014 : RM6.5mil 2015 to 2017 : RM19.8mil (profit guarantee and might be more)
From the top, you can see the profit is increasing after acquisition. It is abit strange from the past record and im very doubt the the company are able to achieve the result of RM6.6mil per year. Keep in mind that with the depreciation of ringgit, the cost of material have increased. This have eat the profit margin for construction company.
But since there are profit guarantee given, the profit surely reached RM19.8mil in 3 years or RM6.6mil per year.
Good investment until 30/9/2016. The share price of Mercury might reached peak after the release of result on 30/9/2016 as all of the impact from the subsidiary will inside the quarter result.
After release of 30/9/2016, unless PBSB get new project, if not this company will just sink down the revenue of Mercury. Keep in mind the revenue keep dropping. Im scare it is the intention of director to cash it out the company to listed as he foresee they are no future in this company. But i just guessing. Maybe im wrong.
1) Director losing 70% in PBSB 2) Director getting RM42mil cash 3) Director selling the entity that might lose at future?? (I guessing, maybe im wrong) 4) Director able to get capital gain in Mercury share 5) Director getting better director fee for performing well. 6) Director might loss money if PBSB not earning RM19.8mil in three years.
The director that sells the 70% in PBSB is the same director running Mercury now. Yea this isnt a buy and hold forever play, more like a 'special situation' or arbitrage play. The profit will only increase slightly if you taking into account the interest they have to pay for the borrowing, but im expecting an upward move on ROE, which may or may not push the price up. But compare to having a large sum of cash sitting in the bank earning 2-3%, definitely better to have it use it on assets (construction) generating future cash flow.
I cant say much about the director since my guess is same as anyone. He has quite a large stake in Mercury as well. Unless he offload all his stake in Mercury when the price has gone up, he will still need to manage both the main biz and construction biz well. I only know he is famous for turning around biz. He is the director for Eco first and having turned their property development biz around few years back.

I did not study Nihsin but just for discussion purposes. I believe ROIC is a good metric but there are many ways to skin a cat. There are few conditions in where I would buy a low ROIC company, not necessarily hold it forever. 1. It is a net net stock. Meaning solid balance sheet, trading at big discount to NTA or some balance sheet metric. It must also be somewhere near the all time low in terms of P/B or P/NCAV with improving fundamentals. 2. It is a turn-around stock. It could be a cyclical business on the cusp of a turn-around where ROIC may eventually revert to the mean. 3. It recently went through major expansion thus incurring high depreciation charges which depress the EBIT or EPS. Hevea is one good example. In this way, I will look at P/FCF as a metric 3. No red flags in terms of insider actions, share dilution, debts increase.
