“We have nurtured the food security division over the last 10 years and we think it has turned a corner. We are likely to see a bigger contribution from the division, so we are going to carve it out and show it as one of our core businesses,” MFCB non-independent, non-executive director Yeow See Yuen tells The Edge in a recent interview. - https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/716525
should just sell edenor if really cannot turn the company around. kept bleeding money.... their cash pile growing, hopefully can secure another new bigger hydro project while growing the company.
Seasonal or cyclical factors The Group’s principal business operations were not significantly affected by seasonal or cyclical factors other than its Renewable Energy Division where hydropower generation is subject to seasonal fluctuation of the water level. Normally, the water level will peak between June and November during the wet season. More detailed commentary is set out in Notes B3 and B4 to these financial statements.
"It is worth noting that the recent appreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit (5-6% increase since the end of June 2024), if maintained for the remainder of the year, may result in lower reported earnings in Ringgit terms (on same USD term) for the second half of 2024.
Despite the stronger Ringgit, and considering the increase in effective ownership of Don Sahong Power Company (DSPC) from 80% to 95%, we expect that the PATNCI for Don Sahong will demonstrate robust double-digit year-on-year growth of more than 20% in the second half of 2024."
@Pinky, forex is inconsequential, MFCB is anticipating more than 20% y-o-y growth in 2H2024 due to higher effective interest and 5th turbine. Not to forget the rest of the divisions are growing steadily as well. MFCB never disappoints the long term shareholders :)
@ocbc. i already sold back my CCB shares during their 2nd offer, due to my inexperience my maybank remiser said my CCB shares ought to be sold. In fact, later i checked from other sources, if you intend to keep the shares forever even after privitisation, no one can force you to sell..
Btw, good to see you also interested in this counter
28/8/2024 i have participated in the MFCB Q2 online investor briefing. Outlook is look for Q3. If you intend to keep a copy of the briefing, you can go MFCB website, on the right hand corner, try to look for the investor briefing PDF notes and download to aid your investment decision
Hi Willtolive, i guess you are talking about CSC Agruculture Holding S/B..
PETALING JAYA: Mega First Corp Bhd’s (MFCB) venture into fruit and vegetable farming is not expected to contribute significantly to its earnings.
The group, which is involved in the power, resources, and property segments, said on Wednesday that it intends to acquire a 64% stake in plantation firm, CSC Agriculture Holdings Sdn Bhd (CSCAH), for RM25mil.
They said energy/RE will always be their core. And from profit, it is. If they can deploy their cash and grow into other businesses, it is good news. Hong Leong also diversified into many other businesses.
I am very sure when Hong Leong started, also starts small and grew and then split and split... If one day one of MFCB's subsidaries grew very big, they will split it out and list on Bursa too. Give them time to prove themselves. Maybe it works, maybe it won't. We'll never know. At least they are trying to grow and not just sit comfortably like Orient, Berjaya etc...
yes, not ready yet. It takes time. maybe 10 years for other subsidiaries to grow into a big enough size, but i doubt it will be anywhere near the hydro. QL's familymart took so long, now still growing and consider big, but not very big.
Why is management taking so long to announce the new revised agreement on the 5th turbine that had attained COD on 1st July 2024? At the 2Q briefing, management said that the new revised agreement is ready and awaiting the Laos government approval. Is it not approved or getting difficulty in getting approval? In the meantime the share price is getting lower and lower. Hope there will be good news when the 3Q results are announced in November.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
