Hambantota Port is also financed with Chinese money. Look what happened to it? It's suicidal to believe that the project will be profitable just because Chinese banks fund it. Chinese banks are state owned and are extensions of the communist party of China. They may have other consideration other than profit.

Sound like the old Malaysia Alibaba business model. Baba do all the jobs and Ali get 30% by doing nothing except pulling string/entitlement. But this time China JV partner is the Baba and Jaks is Ali. Too good to be true.

Allow me to put the figures right for “Why Jaks”;

1. The project is 75% debt. Hence, the loan provided is US$1.402b (about RM5.6b) not RM7.76b.

2. Jaks paid upfront cash of US$51m for 30% in JV with future capital commitment of US$110m. So, not free of charge.

3. The Net assets per share as at 30 June 2018 is RM1.47 and is inclusive of investment in JV.

You believe DK66 and say he's knowledgeable, so believing those facts, and inputting those numbers into your spreadsheet, that should give you the NPV - 'IRR 12% is to Project, therefore Equity is 30%++'

Instead you revert back to your 'common sense' and disregard the model, the theory, the maths, the thought process...

Youre like the scientist who has a hypothesis, runs the experiment, and the results do not conform to his hypothesis, then proceeds to disregard the test results and sticks to his hypothesis because thats what his 'gut' tells him - yeah way to go scientific advancement lol. Next time when you cannot prove or disprove something, dont go and tell the world you agree/disagree with someone - youre just like another one of those who are going to mislead people

Old man koon has access to management, he's substantial shareholder - at the start he was touting the massive 'construction profits', wanting to con the masses with the 'massive construction profits' and then it first proposed that the profits are not real, he now pivots to 'the 30% share in he IPP is free' - in that whole time, he has never mentioned anything about the yearly cashflows over the period of the 25 years of the IPP - oh he knows, and he knows its nothing to shout about - IRR 12% equals payback in 8 years, only desperate to change their fortunes JAKS would accept such lousy returns for an overseas venture.

But just like your 'too good to be true' common sense, all of this is still just conjecture and guesses

I also like to point out that the loan provided is on non-recourse basis. Which mean the bankers can only rely on the power plant to recover their loans. They cannot sue the borrowers for shortfalls, if any.

Even though the Bankers have step-in rights on the power plant to allow it to continue operating the power plant if the borrower reneged, the bankers must still be absolutely sure that the PPA provides sufficient cash flow with high margin of safety to allow the plant to operate profitably before approving the loans.

"A non-recourse debt is a type of loan secured by collateral, which is usually property. If the borrower defaults, the issuer can seize the collateral but cannot seek out the borrower for any further compensation, even if the collateral does not cover the full value of the defaulted amount." - Investopedia

I agreed with KC that it is naïve to believe Chinese bank will give guarantee for the profit of the power plant. It is like saying when Malaysian bank gives out housing loan to you, the bank guarantee our property investment will profit us. No, the bank just make sure u can pay them back before they approve your housing loan.

I think DK66 had answered your question by correcting 3 factual incorrect information contained in i3investor top article “Why Jaks?”

As of the writer opinion:
“It is like the Chinese Banks is giving a profit guarantee to all the Jaks shareholders every year for 25 years when the JV sells electricity to the Vietnamese Government.”
I would think the writer is stretching his imagination too wide without reasonable facts or logical deduction.

It is my hope that the writer can double check his fact or ask someone to check and correct the incorrect facts for him before he published the article

So you are a big fan of investment bankers, only wen they write something good about a stock you promote?

Tell you what. This analysis of Affin hwang is nonsense. The investment thesis on Jaks is it future cash flows from Vietnam power plant, discounted to the present value. And its value per share for Jaks.

EPS is a stupid reason. 6.6 times PE? That is a hopeless analysis from an investment bank.

I thought you don't believe in low PE? So now circumstance suits you and you worship PE?

Let me correct you a few more misinformation you spread.

1) The NTA of Jaks is not RM1.47. Its NAB is RM1.47.

2) (1) above already included the assets of the power plant in Vietnam as explained by DK66, unless you can tell me how the hell you get "NPV" of another RM1.00, some more "based on conservative estimate".

3) "NPV" of the power plant is not that relevant as its present value, as initial investment is a sunk cost not relevant to new shareholders.

4) You don't seem to be able to differentiate between NPV, and PV.

5) Great intuition to say Jaks NTA is $2.50? Why sell at less than RM1.00 and incurr huge losses? You call that "Intuition"?

Your knowledge about NPV, IRR and payback period on Jaks power plant is highly in doubt. Certainly there is no way you can compare with DK66. Everyone can see the latter, may be not the earlier.

But let me refute your knowledge of NPV, IRR and payback period, the essential financial evaluation of a project.

There is no projected cash flows given by the JV, although they must have their estimates. Neither DK66 knows that, and I don't think he claims he knows it. Nobody bothers to give you those cash flows, but an indicative IRR. It is from the given IRR, the concession period and the estimated project costs we can roughly estimate the future cash flows of the project.

Hence point no. 1, I agree with DK66 that the IRR of 12% given is the project IRR, and not what as asserted by your previous comment below,

"The IRR of 12% is to equity, not to project, and no this is a statement, not a guess"

From what you are basing on to make such a statement?

I think when IRR is mentioned for a project, it is normally project IRR, as a project viability in financial appraisal normally is independent of the capital structure to be used.

Project IRR of 12%, "therefore Equity IRR is 30%"? How do you connect the two statements?

High equity IRR of more than 30% is not impossible, and I think in Jaks's case, it could very well be. But you must understand the concept of IRR, that all cash flows are reinvested at that rate of return. How to get a return of 30+% from the future cash flows?

Hence equity IRR may not be relevant, what is relevant is the future cash flows for Jaks, what are their magnitude and what is the present value of those future cash flows, and what is it translated to per share of diluted number of shares of Jaks.

An IRR doesn't mean the payback period is 8 years as in your statement below. It is not as straightforward is 1/12%. It is something to do how many years those cash outs are even out from cash ins.

That is why I said you may sound loud, but I doubt you are good as DK66.

kc....how to be value investor when stock market not interested in IPP but interested in bankrupt and badly managed Oil and Gas counters?


Value investor must invest in IPP stocks? Tell me why?

How much you invested in Mudajaya 5 years ago when it was hot with the power plant project in India, and promoted every week in public forums such as i3investor at RM3.00+?

How much did you invest in Malakoff IPO at RM1.80 4 and a half years ago, and now less than half the IPO price?

Badly managed oil and gas companies cannot be invested by value investor?

I believe if you are good at investing in distressed debts, you may make big money in those O&G companies too.

Again, another free lesson for you; making money is not about investing in which sector, which stock, but what is its price versus value and the margin of safety.

I have been so kind to you for almost every statement you made, I taught you investing lesson.
