Cover Story: A fruitful 1H, with most counters in The Edge’s portfolio charting positive returns
The Edge Malaysia
11 Jul 2024

Dutch Lady has been added to the list this time around as the dairy company ramps up production following the completion of its halal IR4.0 manufacturing facility DLMI@Enstek in Bandar Enstek, Negeri Sembilan. The added capacity should translate into higher revenue.

Dutch Lady’s RM540 million investment in the manufacturing facility with export capacity was funded internally, and the completion of the new plant could lead to a higher dividend payout for its shareholders in the near future. In the last three financial years, the company has paid out RM32 million in net dividends, translating into dividend payout ratios of 12.9%, 69.11% and 44.2% for FY2021 to FY2023 respectively.

In 1QFY2024, it reported a net profit of RM26.66 million. Annualised, this amounts to RM107 million. However, downside risks include higher accelerated depreciation from its Petaling Jaya plant and one-off costs related to the move to Bandar Enstek, fluctuating foreign exchange rates, variable commodity prices and potential shifts in regulatory frameworks.

Be careful of 3iii or iinvestbodoh
.he told all to chase Dlady over Rm73

Now dlady rebounded little yet still lost 50%

So do not listen to iinvestbodoh..

Better sell dlady as Govt increased diesel tax by 52%

The milk truck that transport milk by Dlady will now see higher cost

So it will eat into Dlady profits

Sell now and buy stocks in East Malaysia where there is no 52% diesel price hike

This statement in the latest quarterly report shows its business operation is improving.

Read Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits by Philip Fisher. In the book, he described why he loved a company that had to spend a lot of money to build up its manufacturing facilities and in the interim reported challenging earnings. Going forward, there will still be more expenses to put the whole factory in efficient operation. After that, DLady will be firing on all 4 cyclinders (hopefully ;-) )

Posted by Integrity. Intelligent. Industrious. 3iii (iiinvestsmart)$€£¥ > 2024-08-22 16:27 | Report Abuse

Many institutions sold DLady when it cut its dividends. These institutions were probably mandated to look at income in their portfolio.

The reason for the cut in dividends was obvious. DLady redirected this to fund its new factory in Negri Sembilan. Remarkably, it continues to pay dividends (though diminished) and has not borrowed heavily to fund the factory.

Once the factory is up and running, we can expect the dividends to increase again. But I should not be sharing this too openly as I wish for the stock price to be down since I like to buy grocery cheap. :-)

please do think very carefully


see two macro picture


1. In Peninsular (West Malaysia )

there is a 52% diesel price rise

as such all industries will be impacted by a corresponding rise of 5% to as high as 30%

these will see higher cost

1. property
2. construction
3. construction material
4.logistic that send goods by lorry or ships

5. consumer food and drink which are bulky

6. Toll road owners
as lorries now see higher operation cost by 52% they will make less trip so less collections from till


others




2. By Nov 2024 if Trump gets elected he will impose 10% tariff (tax) for all and for China it will be 60% tariff

so all industries related to export to USA will be hit

two things will hit all


a universal price rise caused by rise of diesel 52%

a universal tariff by USA from 10% to 60%


that is why it is of utmost safety to go invest in East Malaysia stocks which got no 52% diesel rise there

and palm oil export is more to India and China (not USA)

Posted by Up_down > 2024-08-23 13:57 | Report Abuse

Net profit margin would be gradually recovered to the industry norm 10% from 6% existing level. It won't drag for long time since LHDN is keeping an eye on the transfer pricing policies. Haha

Posted by CharlieM > 2024-08-23 15:23 | Report Abuse

Number one rule, invest in good companies. Diesel cost affected the whole industry with physical products. So it’s a level playing field.

Increased in cost is mostly transferred to consumers. For consumer staples like milk, changes in demand would be minimum.

USD to MYR is down almost 10% from 4.77 to 4.37. That will translated into cost saving in the future. Dlady hedges forex 6 monthly.

Until Govt Removed Subsidy for Diesel

Now Diesel up 52%

Every thing goes up by 5% to 30% due to Very High Cost of Lorry Transport

Cascading down to High Cost of All Things from food to clothing to transport

Ony Guy said

Before Price Rise High Toyota Hilux Full Tank was Rm180
Now is Rm250

So all consumers will eat cheaper buy cheaper clothes or buy less

So?
