1. Either you are right, the market has yet to catch up on the new reality and multiple expansion from current PE is waiting to happen, and there's an arbitrage opportunity or perhaps long-term opportunity
2. Or the market is right, that all future cash flows discounted back to present value is more or less equal to current valuation despite current massive cash flow generation.
There is not much fundamental value in this stock because they will not share any thing with the minority shareholders. Sharing with Malaysian public shareholders is not in their genes and not the reason they are in Malaysia.
Further, not everyday is a Sunday......looking at the track record for last 10 years, it has to be an alignment of stars and every thing aligns perfectly to report 93 sen EPS. It is impossible to predict its earnings with any precision, and no IB analyst covers this stock because the wild fluctuations scares each and every IB analysts....only amateur analysts are predicting spreads and earnings in this stock........
On top of that, 2018 is a bad year for them due to upgrading works, and 2019, the Rapids new modern refinery is ready and will eat them for lunch....the reason why Shell wants out.
Those payable is filling up your cash flow lo. U need minus out. If cash flow is the criteria, might as well go to Malakoff. Availability charge n capacity charge is more reliable or crack spread? Usd refinery shut down also reduce crude oil demands. If crude oil drop, HRC needs report stock loss too... ask chinaman n see. Think of advantages he will take. Maybe china doll is taking advantage of HRC stock price n good us news.
Let us all pray for HRC price to collapse when market opens.... i sincerely from my heart encourage all to come out with negative comments... and better still an article to convince all the risks and how misled we are on HRC.
“Harvey is creating a dual benefit for Asian refiners,” said Arun Kumar Sharma, finance director at Indian Oil. “The shutdown of U.S. refineries is pulling down crude prices and pushing up prices of petroleum products. This will have a double-impact on refinery margins, especially in Asia.”
I have nothing against Hengyuan since after all i do own Hengyuan. While I would agree that Hengyuan to a certain extent can generate cash, I would disagree that it is considered as a "high cash generating machine".
I do not wish to project the idea that I am trying to find faults in everything I see, but I think there is some degree of misrepresentation based on the article’s notion about Hengyuan being a “cash generating machine”.
The real definition of a cash generating machine is one that can generate loads of cash without having the need to reinvest them in order to sustain future business. Capital intensive businesses most of the time do not fit into the cash generating machine category, and Hengyuan is clearly one of the many capital intensive businesses. Additionally, the mention of RM524 mln FCF failed to take into account the need for a huge capex which we know management has already committed within the year.
Assuming that FCF of RM524 mln is a correct figure, the recent results fail to convince me that the so called high cash flow generated is sustainable mainly because there is a failure in pointing out that such a high operating cash flow generated was also due to an extremely huge increase in trade and other payables balance. Sooner or later the high payables balances will need to be paid off.
To prove that a business is a cash generating machine requires more evidence than whatever that is being displayed in this article. There is too much focus on short term numbers and performance. While it is true that the past is the past, there is still no denying that looking back is still the crux behind security analysis. We need to look back into the historic performance in order to understand sustainability and real earning power. Otherwise, it is no different than selectively plucking numbers in order to paint an interesting, and yet half true and half false picture. The result will still be misleading.
To furthur point out, THE Author of this article using EG and trying to bring out a false illusion by hint on EG has violate it's FCF and put EG on the same trick as KNM played out .... IT IS RATHER UNFAIR .
Those who conduct detail account in KNM, would be easily to find out KNM has went through exercise and acquisition Foreign asset in HUGE amount that cant justify with its return from the acquisition.
Besides, not hard to find out KNM has use it's Depreciation to increase their Balance .
Other than the above, i do love to read davidtslim's articles.
ANYWAY, WHY NOT JUZ RE-LOOK AGAIN FOR EG'S PERFORMANCE AFTER THE 1H OF 2018 .

U CAN ONLY FIND THIS TYPE OF COMPANY...THAT DO NOT REQUIRE TO REINVEST IN NEW MACHINERY TO GENERATE MORE CASH ,IN THIS MODERN ERA, IS IN YOUR GREAT GRANDFATHER COMPANY, THAT MAKE USE KERETA LEMBU POWER TODAY LOH....!!
VenFx: Pls check how much gross profit and net profit for EG latest result, it is 1.1%. The super low profit margin rate is very similar to KNM. Pls check EG peers Skpres and VS profit margin, see whether their profit margin much higher than EG or not. Maybe this is the reason why market willing to give VS and SKpres DOUBLE and triple PE valuation higher than EG.
Pls check Skpres and VS, they only give bonus, but not right issue as EG. More funny is EG still stick to their right issue price of 95 sen although their current share price is traded at 78 sen. Skpres even distribute dividend mean they really has good FCF from operation.
One more thing is EG receivable is relatively high over 2-3 quarters already, the risk for impairment from the receivable is high.
Raider: HRC need to deliver a more consistent EPS like petronm and petdag, then only PE valuation can be higher. Also, Hrc need to distribute dividend like Petronm and petdag then only market long term investor will stay and give higher valuation.
HRC very likely to be benefited a lot from recent Singapore crack spread spike and I expect future EPS and FCF from operation will be improved a lot YoY and QoQ. What we are invested is its future. I may cover my view on its possible dividend plan in my next article.
VenFx: I actually not to say EG is the same with Knm. Just in term of profit margin rate they got some similarity. In other accounting profit, EG seem look ok but I just wonder in current good time for EMS biz (where VS can perform quite well), EG still shows a relatively low profit margin with negative FCF (except the latest quarter).
Anyway, not my intention to say any bad thing on EG, just as an example that EG has continuous negative FCF, then they need to raise fund through right issue (and they actually also increase their borrowing from past few quarters).
Posted by stockraider > Sep 1, 2017 04:17 PM | Report Abuse DAVID HOW COME HRC GROSS MARGIN IS DOUBLE OF PET DAG AND PETRON BUT MKT GIVE THE LOWEST PE TO HRC LEH ??
HOW COME ? HOW COME LEH ??
NOT Same as your explaination on EG, skpres and VS ah ???
To form an Efficient Global Ems-vi player , believe me there is a Big playground out there. It really depend how and what a player fit and capital wise deployed in order to rech their economy of scale.
What I do like, EG has the ambitious and talents to play a role with those Big name principal ... try to imagine what is Hon Hai ...
Besides, Eg's income basically come from I) Pcba & 2) Box-built The later has been enjoying a far better margin of 5.1% net profit and it's weighing gaining heavier qtr by qtr which is very good indeed.
For further of my good view or discussion, welcome u drop by Eg thread .
Last but not least, there ars many good company with your so call low gross margin. Ci holding / magni / esc / ...
Why HRC is much better than Pet dag, no joke ...no gambling loh ??
1. HRC ROE is higher than Pet dag. 2. HRC EPS is higher than Pet Dag 3. HRC Earnings Growth is stronger than Pet Dag 4. HRC cashflow per share stronger than Pet Dag
There are many gamblers in the market. But gambler is not a kind word, so they masquerade as speculators.
If the news are good, they buy. When the news are bad, they jump out. If the price of the stock does not make its move within a short period, they sell it and go looking for something else.
This speculative buying and selling frenzy has been going on for a long time.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT IS HRC PE 5X IS MUCH LOWER THAN OVERVALUE PET DAG PE 24X LOH..!!
A COMPANY LIKE PET DAG LOST IN EVERY COUNT OF BEAUTY PARADE, SHOULD NOT DESERVE SO HIGH PE 24X LOH...!!
ON THE OTHER HAND HRC SHOULD DESERVE MUCH HIGHER PE THAN 5X, BCOS IT BEAT PET DAG IN SO MANY AREA IN TERMS OF PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT LOH..!!
YES...MUST BUY HRC QUICKLY B4 ....ITS SHARE PRICE RUN UP LOH..!!
IF NO MONIES SELL UR PET DAG...SWITCH IT TO HRC LOH...!!
Quote BOTH HENGYUAN AND PETRONM ARE OVERVALUED Author: smartrader2020 | Publish date: Fri, 4 Aug 2017, 12:55 PM
BOTH OF THEM ARE OVERVALUED BY PER VALUATION
At current PER of annualised FY17 EPS, PETRONM and HENGYUAN are trading above regional PER valuation.
I believe most of people here are mistranslated PER valuation.
It does not mean PER of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x are cheap. You have to compare with both local and REGIONAL MARKET AS WELL.
Why compare regional? Because this refinery business is globally. Not only in Malaysia!
Unless the company is making nasi lemak, which is only in Malaysia!
Some articles that promoting these stocks have misled investors.
Based on both companies current market caps between RM2.0-RM3.0 billion only, trading at current PER are seen OVERVALUED against regional refinery companies, who are far far bigger market cap.
For example, let’s look at (1) Mangalore refinery in India, the lowest market cap in India, of RM15.0 billion, its PER only at 6.5x with ROE of 46%.
Another example, (2) Hindustan Petroleum with RM40.7 billion market cap, its PER only at 7.4x and ROE of 43%.
Last example in Japan, (3) JXTG holdings Inc with market cap of RM65.8 b billion, its PER only 7.7x,
while (4) Idemitsu Kossan Co LT with market cap of RM21.0 billion, its PER only 4.7x.
So, in terms of PER valuation, PETRONM and HENGYUAN have NO MORE UPSIDE TO OFFER TO INVESTORS.
I just share my view. I dont recommend anything here. It is up to you to decide it.
