The company’s revenue has actually remained quite flat since it reaches the peak of RM25.3mil back in FY15. In FY18 the revenue recorded was only RM23mil. What is worst is that profit has actually come down from the peak in FY14 of RM8.6mil to only RM6.3mil in FY18. At the current share price, the company is currently being valued at 30.7x PE which is considerably high for a company that failed to grow both the revenue or earnings for the past 3 years.
The only reason I see to why the company suddenly gets more of the limelight is due to TS Wong (founder of MyEG) exposure in the company. He has a total exposure of around 25%. However, it is still unclear how this will suddenly change the business outlook of Eforce which makes investing into the company now would merely be a speculative trade.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 6.4 PE based on FY18 profit of RM166mil. PB is low at only 0.7x BV.
FY19 should deliver another profit growth year to the company. Profit growth will again be driven by the performance of Perodua (via MBMR 22.6% holdings in Perodua) from the still strong sales of new Myvi, sales of SUV Aruz and the introduction of the newly revamp Alza sometime in the 2H19. Aruz which commands a higher margin compared to other models will help improve the total profit margin of Perodua (which will flow to MBMR’s bottom line as well).
Given the very good result in 4Q18, the company is expected to achieve a profit of RM200mil for the full year of 2019. At the current share price, the company is being valued at a very low PE of only 5.1x which is a lot lower than the industry average of 15x PE. As an example, UMW (another company with exposure to Perodua) is currently trading at a PE multiple of almost 20x.
