This red thing is a small Telco only. Can buy to speculate only. I will never buy it for long term. Because Digi, maxis, celcom dominate our mobile business.

I am not agreed that buying big Telco shares is better this counter. I also bought Digi half year back and still holding it. It doesn't seen to be better than this counter. If you compare the same entry price (1 unit Digi = 8 unit Redtone), Redtone will give you better return than Digi (including the dividend). I will buy Redtone for long term as they have room to grow compare to those big Telcon share which having big amount of debts.

Share buy back since Nov/2013. The last annoucement was last Friday, bought back 770500 shares, appetite is getting bigger and bigger? What is going on....

REDTONE, on the other hand, was also in the limelight where the group had failed to secure the Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcast (DTTB) infrastructure project. This, however, is not a major negative to the group given that some of the key criteria have come in at the lower end which may affect the project’s ROI. These include (i) non-inclusion of the vital 700Mhz spectrum band, which has a strong in-building mobile signal penetration capability and thus eyed by all the major celcos and (ii) longer-than-expected gestation period given the country’s analogue switch off data has been deferred, thus making the ROI a big challenge under the project deferment. There are no changes to our REDTONE FY14-FY15 earnings estimates as we did not assume any DTTB earnings contribution in our financial model. We maintain our OUTPERFORM call on REDTONE with an unchanged target price of RM0.80 and implied a RM0.56 target price to REDTONE-WA.

I think the most important thing is not to just look at the IB analyst TP but read the detail report that made. See based on what points they set the TP. Then, ask yourself whether it makes sense.

Redtone International OUTPERFORM ↔
Moving On Price: RM0.640 Target Price: RM0.810 ↔
The failure to secure the DTTB infrastructure contract by Redtone
Network S/B (49% owned by Redtone International) may not
necessarily be a major negative to the group given that some of
the key criteria have come in at the lower end which may affect
the project’s ROI. These include: (i) non-inclusion of the vital
695Mhz-742Mhz frequency band and (ii) longer-than-expected
gestation period. We also notice that of late, Redtone
International (Redtone) has been executing share buy-back which
lend credence to the stock’s prospects. Meanwhile, the group is
confident of achieving a 50% QoQ jump in PBT for 2Q14 results,
scheduled to be released late-January. There are no changes to
our FY14 and FY15 earnings estimates as we did not assume any
DTTB earnings contribution in our financial model. We maintain
our OUTPERFORM call on Redtone with an unchanged target price
of RM0.81, based on targeted FY14 PER of 14.5x.
Failed to secure DTTB infrastructure project but… Puncak Semangat S/B
(PS), controlled by tycoon Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, has been named
as the successful bidder (edging out two other bidders namely Redtone Network
S/B and i-Media broadcasting Solutions S/B) by the Malaysian Communications
and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to build, operate and manage the
infrastructure for Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcast (DTTB) service in
Malaysia yesterday. The concession is for a period of 15 years (from the date of
award) including simulcast and implementation period. (Please refer to our
Media sector report dated 24 Oct. 2013 for the detailed information on DTTB).
…could be better-off. While the news appears to be unfavourable to Redtone
at first glance, the group could be better-off by not securing the DTTB contract
given that some of the key criteria (as set out in the earlier tender documents)
have come in at the lower end. These include: (i) non-inclusion of the vital
695Mhz – 742Mhz band, where PS will only have right to use the frequency of
470MHz-694MHz before and after the analogue switch off (ASO) instead of both
frequency bands. The 48MHz lesser band frequency implied fewer digital TV
channels which could be introduced in the future. Note that MCMC has allocated
the 695MHz-742MHz band, which have a strong in-building mobile signal
penetration capability, for high speed mobile broadband services post ASO and
(ii) longer-than-expected gestation period. While the first roll-out of DTTB
services is projected to be in 3QCY14, for a start in a few test areas, the full
nationwide coverage is only expected to be completed by 2017 in contrast to the
previous target of end-CY15. Meanwhile, the Communication and Multimedia
Minister was also recently being quoted by the press that the government will
only decide to end analogue TV broadcast services by 2020. Based on our
earlier understanding, the successful bidder can only commence billing charges
post the ASO, thus making the ROI a big challenge under the project deferment.
Executing share buy-back account. Following the renewed approval received
from its shareholders, Redtone has started to execute its share buy-back
account to re-accumulate its shares since last November. The group has, thus
far, accumulated a total of 1.67m shares with an estimated average price of
RM0.67/share as of 9th January.
Divestment gain. The recent disposal of the remaining 35% shareholding held
in its associate, Redtone Mobile S/B (RMSB) to Theo Networks S/B is expected
to generate RM5m divestment gain for Redtone Group in FY14. Note that the
group had earlier on 3 January 2012 divested its 65% stake in RMSB, which
principal activity is the operating of a mobile virtual network and research,
design, develop and commercialise the VOIP customer premise equipment. The
rational of the disposal is to enable the group to focus on its core business
offerings as a total service solution provider to corporate/SME/government
segments as well as the management and building of WiFi network.
Confidence to achieve 50% QoQ growth in PBT in 2Q14, where Redtone is
scheduled to release its report card by late January, underpinned by the healthy
growth of its core businesses, on-going various government projects as well as
the synergic benefits created under the NSA agreement with Maxis.

VT is loosing his focus. Redtone is no longer under his radar. 7-Eleven IPO is on the way. BJAuto, Caring Pharmacy doing good. Redtone is temporary doing bad especially loosing RM1 Billion DTTB Project. Can't imagine they will lose this project even tie-up with Hua Wei and Johor Royal Family. Look like this counter will continue to drop and then stagnat for few Quarter especially when they had sell Redtone Mobile for RM5 million.

@tom88 "Redtone is temporary doing bad“ <-- can you please further elaborate and any evidences to support your opinion? Thanks

Posted by invester > 2014-01-16 15:06 | Report Abuse

Please understand that with or without VT focus, it will not affected the business of Redtone. VT is only one of the big investor who holding the shares. He is not eh board of directors who decide how the company grow. For DDTB project, i think for the past weeks, a lot of people has been taking about that (positive and negative point of view). So, the effect of this issue already reflected on the following 2 days trading after the annoucement (drop from 0.68 to 0.645). For selling the Redtone Mobile, no one will know whether it is good or bad. It might be a good news as well at least they do not need to fright with those big telcon company like Digi, Maxis, U Mobile etc.

Lets look at the financial report that is going to be out in 2 days time. The report will tell whether the company is doing well or not. Personally, I don't see any negative side on Redtone. Share is always up and down. Even during the time Redtone was making lost, the share price also around 0.40. So, if a company keep on the current business (even without new business), do you think the price will drop back to 0.40? Just make your own judgement. I am (and I will) not asking you to sell or buy. :)

hey Bigboy, i remember in October you mentioned to buy back Redtone when the price goes down to 0.65, and after the Quarterly report is out the price went up to 0.76. During that time you kept quiet and when the price keeps dropping you asking ppl to sell. I don't understand what is your basis or you asking some Sifu's for prediction. Please provide some facts for your generous advice here. Are you looking at some charts, support/resistant or some other method or sifu's advice;). Else you are just a joker without any basis who don't understand the theory to buy shares when people are in fear. Worse case you bought Redtone at the peak price >0.8 and become very frustrated with uncle VT;)

Posted by pslkft > 2014-01-21 19:10 | Report Abuse

the management may considers the company is undervalued, buying back shares increases the value as more profit can be distributed among the remaining shares, this can be a positive signal

Posted by pslkft > 2014-01-21 19:16 | Report Abuse

It can also then be distributed as a form of dividend

One of the possibility after share buy back is to dispose the share to reduce the floating shares in market. If I remembered correctly, tt has been done before by other company. If this is truth, then the per value share will be increase. Please correct me if I am wrong.

One of the good thing about share buy back is to stable/support the share price. I am holding YTLPower as well and they also having the share buy back activities almost daily (allow to up to 10%). The price has been picking up from 1.53 to 1.90 mainly due to share buy back support. If any investors throw out their share, this share back back activities will helps to stable the price.
