1. Vietnam IPP construction profits are not real (and there is a very elegant and simple explanation for this...)
2. Then using the not real IPP profits and assigning a multiple (based on sector averages etc) is misleading
Jan 1, 2020 self award a contract RM1 bil with 50% margins to be completed Dec 31, 2020, net profit RM500 mil for FY2020, so equity value at PE 10 is RM 5 billion?
When the profits are 'accounting profits'? And even if you take it as 'real' they are one-off (power plant constructions are not part of Jaks normal business; and if you think Jaks is able to procure another IPP (let alone finance it - look at the gearing and the cash calls lol), well just that one and its sinking like the titanic...)
Then again, even the two analysts covering Jaks are doing the same idiotic thing lol (with access to management some more) all that reading and studying and theory is useless if you do not have the raw iq
And all this without even touching on the actual vietnam IPP's discounted cashflows...
Profits attributable to Jaks 30% vietnam IPP is USD $ 20-25 mil per year. In 2020 a mere two years, all will be able to see for yourselves
Say you own 40% of a company which proposed 1 warrant for 2 shares held, and the warrant is not underwritten. If everyone subscribe for the warrant, your shareholding remains at 40%. However, if you are the only one taking up the warrant, your shareholding increases to 50%.
Hence, those who subscribed for the warrant would prefer the rest don't. Under-subscription benefits those who subscribed. It also benefits the mother shares as there is less dilution as less warrants are issued.
The profit made from Power plant construction is not real profit, it is just paper profit used to payback investment in Power plant. No physical cash taken out from this construction work.
Want to buy Jaks, wait until power plant is completed. Are you sure power plant can be completed in time ? Jaks is famous for not complete work in time in all Malaysian projects.
Myself in the construction industry, I think the biggest risk is project delay. Most of time, project will never complete on time. The projection of profit should allow for a delay of up to 6-10 months.
in cash flow terms...ie before depreciation ....no one will undertake a project without it being 12 - 15% returns per annum....not 6% to 10 % anymore......
Koon Yew Yin : Sad to say that Jaks does not comply with my golden rule anymore because it has too much borrowings to finance its properties during the current depressed market. Jaks will continue to report losses in the next 2 or 3 years until the completion of the power plant.
don't think kyy will buy back, without kyy to push n continue to report losses in the next 2 or 3 years, do u think the price will move higher in 2019, : )

Its a US$ 1.9 billion project, 30% stake US$/RM say 4
if projects works out well, minimum earnings yield say 6% to 10% should give $ 140 m - $ 230 million pre tax profits to Jaks....per annum....
ME: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "EARNINGS YIELD" HERE? A POWER PLANT INVESTMENT RETURN IS MEASURED BY EARNINGS YIELD? "MINIMUM" HAS A RANGE OF NUMBERS? WHAT KIND OF MATHS IS THAT? WHAT KIND OF CHEKAI "ACCOUNTANT" YOU ARE?
if does not work out well...then....too bad, better luck next time.
How much is that worth I also don't know...go ask KC Chong from NZ...he got a lot of calculations one.
EVEN WITH YOUR ASSUMED FIGURES, YOU STILL CAN'T FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT IS WORTH? AND HOW MUCH IT IS WORTH PER SHARE OF JAKS?
DO YOU KNOW THAT WILL BE A VERY SIMPLE DISCOUNT CASH FLOWS ANALYSIS?
I THOUGHT YOU SAID BESIDES THONG, YOU ARE THE BEST ANALYST?
Posted by qqq3 > Dec 9, 2018 12:06 AM | Report Abuse no lah....kc....if it is rubbish in, rubbish out...if it is not rubbish...no need to go further ....good enough for me....
So you now surrender and admit that the statement below by you is another rubbish talks?

CharlesT, can name some good stocks that you think can buy at this level ? I have some spare cash . And I also see you are a careful fellow, so your choices should be quite safe
Icon8888, Could Mong Duong 2 be a closer comparison for Jaks' earnings after the completion of the power plant ?
AES-VCM Mong Duong Power Company, a joint venture between AES Corporation (51%), Posco Energy (30%) and China Investment Corporation (19%), developed the 1,240MW Mong Duong-2 (MD2) coal-fired thermal power plant in the Quang Ninh Province of Vietnam.
The power plant was constructed on a build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis and comprises two generating units of 620MW gross capacity each.
Mong Duong-2 is Vietnam’s first and biggest coal-fired BOT project and is also the biggest private sector power project undertaken in the country. The $2.1bn project was developed with 100% foreign direct investment. Ownership will be transferred to the government of Vietnam after 25 years of operation.
Mong Duong 2 is a very close model for the Jaks power plant as; 1. Both in northern Vietnam 2. Both about 1,200MW capacity 3. Both using domestic anthracite coal 4. Both under foreign BOT guaranteed by Vietnam Government 5. Both projects cost around US$2b 6. Both Power purchase agreements signed with EVN 7. Both coal supply agreements signed with Vinacomin 8. Both under max 18 years loan tenure allowed by Vietnam government
Based on financing agreement of Mong Duong 2, the BOT company to maintain debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.4x – 1.5x
The ratio of (Operating income before interest and depreciation) / (Total loan principal and interest payments) must be above 1.5x otherwise the loan defaults.
As the loan is non-recourse in nature and the collateral is a non-movable object with no market resale value, the Banks would require very high certainty in earnings. In this case the capacity payment alone in the PPA which guarantee fixed annual payment for the tenure of the project must at least meet the DSCR requirements.
Based on Jaks' Vietnam IPP loan of US$1.402b, interest of 6% (Est), Loan tenure of 18 years Annual principal repayment = 1.402b / 18 = 77.8m 1st year interest repayment = 1.402b x 6% = 84.1m
Based on 1.5x DSCR, Minimum operating income EBITA = (77.8+84.1) x 1.5 = US$242.85m
Annual depreciation = 1.8685b / 25 = 74.7m
Hence, Net Operating income = US$242.85 – 75.7 – 74.7 = US$92.45m
Jaks 40% = US$92.45 x 40% x 4.15(us/rm) = RM153m / 546m = RM0.28 EPS
In practice, the earnings must be much higher to be of comfort to protect the company from loan default risk due to earning fluctuations.
ON CASH FLOW BASIS,
