Due to its attractive fundamental & being an undervalued stock HEXZA will be attracting potential investors attention to realised its true value & the possibility of its share price moving forward is extremely bright.. Good luck.
yes, gone up some in recent months. How high it will go? Don't know. Just think that, compared to others, it's still cheap. Sooner or later, the market would tell us how much it should worth. Just a matter of timing and your purchased price. What if the price goes down? Good to some and bad to others. To me, buy more and keep until it reflects value which I believe is fair. What say you?
The foong brothers together hold nearly 33% of the outstanding share of the company,the md,foong weng sum is 75 yrs old n his brother foong weng cheong is 80 yrs old....there is no other family members in the board of director.....hexza has been making profits for many yrs,thought big drop in eps for the past 2 financial yrs,net cash in the company is more than 70 millions,nta is 1.07......
If u were the foong brothers,what will u do now at 75 or 80 yrs old with hexza???passover to the children,which should have started some yrs bac n where we should c some foong junior in the board of director...or sell it off to a 3rd party who is capable to grow the company where we should c them buying the share in the open market to reach the level for mandatory offer to take over the company(the foong bro bought about 1 million share in the open marker fr july to sept)
If u were the punters,would u target hexza???cash rich company with some good assets,stable business albeit poor margin traded at about 25% discount to nta.....buy out,then sell them in piecemeal.....
Maybe can get some clues in the coming agm on 23rd this mth.....
another cash rich company Cash 37 sen per share Other investments 28 sen per share Total liquid assets 37+28= 65 sen per share!!! vs current share price 0.785 net 4 sen dividend every year but eps on the low side at 3-4 sen
Hexza announced a dividend of 10% on 24th October 2013. At the close of 77.5 sen this morning, the dividend yield amounts to 6.5%. This is twice the interest rate one can get from putting the money in fixed deposit in bank. Isn’t that good?
Hexza Corporation Berhad operates in three business segments: investment holding, which is engaged in investment holding activities; manufacturing, which is engaged in the manufacture and sales of formaldehyde based adhesives and resins for timber related industries, ethyl alcohol, natural vinegar, cooler, liquefied carbon dioxide and kaoliang wine.
Hexza has been in the business for a long time. Although there is not a single year of losses, there has been no growth in earnings for the last 12 years. However, the management has been generous to its shareholders with increasing dividend payment from 0.6 sen to the most recent 5 sen per share. Is this high dividend yield of 6.5% sustainable?
Referring to Hexza’s latest financial statements as at 30 June 2013, there is plenty of hard cash available. Free Cash Flow amounts to 20m, or 9.5 sen per share. It has an excess cash of 130m, or 65 sen per share in its balance sheet. Hence there is no problem at all for Hexza to continue paying good dividend in the future.
The liquidation value of Hexza is computed using the Graham net net is shown in Table 1 below:
Table 1: Graham net-net valuation of Hexza Cash and cash equivalents 73,404 100% 73,404 0.37 Other investments 55,886 100% 55,886 0.28 Trade & other receivables 23,885 75% 17,914 0.09 Inventories 17,367 50% 8,684 0.04 Property, plant and equipment 66,959 50% 33,480 0.17 Other assets 3,295 0% xxxx xxxx Total assets 240,796 xxxx 189,367 0.95 Non-Controlling Interests (6,876) 100% (6,876) (0.03) TOTAL EQUITY AND LIABILITIES (20,421) 100% (20,421) (0.10) Net assets 213,499 xxxx 162,070 xxxx Number of shares 200,380 xxxx 200,380 xxxx NAB 1.07 xxxx 0.809 0.809
The table above shows that the net asset backing (NAB) of Hexza is RM1.07. At this morning’s closing price of 77.5 sen, it is traded at a huge discount of 27% to its NAB. The net-net valuation of Hexza is shown to be 81 sen, which is still higher than its price.
Isn’t Hexza an undervalued stock as shown above? Wait until we perform some basic checks.
3 Basic Checks to Perform for a Net Net For a net net to be investable, it should have • a solid balance sheet, preferably more cash than inventories and receivables. • is not bleeding cash. At least breaking even or positive in net profit. • positive EBITDA
The first check shows that Hexza has most of its net-net assets in high quality assets in cash and cash equivalent amount to 65 sen per share. Hence we can safely confirm that the quality of the assets is excellent. Next to check is “Is it bleeding cash” and if it has positive Ebitda?
The latest annual financial results ended 30 June 2013 shows Hexza’s made a net profit of 8m and 4m, or EPS of 4.2sen and 3 sen respectively in 2013 and 2012. Cash flow from operations amounts to 20m with free cash flow of 18.7m last financial year. This FCF is a high of 15% (>10%) of revenue. Hence Hexza passes these checks with flying colours.
Conclusions Hexza qualifies as Graham net net investment strategy with a wide margin of safety. It can also stand on its own as a value investment stock as a going concern with the high dividend yield investing strategy.
The unfavourable mkt sentiment for the week resulting in healthy mkt consolidation process saw rampant profit taking activities due to panic & fear factor.
The main casualties were the lower liners & penny stocks seeing their share prices being hammered down & incurring huge lossses.
However, the stock that stands above the crowd is HEXZA for being able to withstand the turbulence & bearish onslaught by incurring only just a small lossse to closed firmly at 0.79 for the week, as compared to other penny stocks which suffered heavy lossses.
I strongly believe that if the bullish mkt prevail, HEXZA will show his strength to break n cross the resistance & 52 weeks high of 0.845 & will continue to rise further to create record high of 0.92.
Good luck & waiting to receive its attractive net dividend of 4.0 sen per share going exdate on 26/11/2013. TQ
HEXZA's share price has increased from its low of 50+ cents to about 80 cents in 2-3 months with increased trading volume. Do you think that small shareholders like most of us would be able to push the price up if it's not the act of big players. In my opinion, there were certainly some big players already in HEXZA. Who they are? I guess some of the top 30 are involved. Foong brothers are definitely there; they bought more than thousands lots recently, and could be more than what we might thought. You may refer to bursa's filing. My interpretation: The timing they bought back these shares were not seen so obvious since 3-4 years ago. If there is no plan in their mind, why the way the share price moved up quite differently compared to previous time and why only recently Foong brothers bought back the shares, as we knew that HEXZA has been undervalued for so many years. My another interpretation: It could also be some big players not related to Foong brothers have their plan or certain ways to unlocked the value of their investment in HEXZA. If so, do you think they would be happy to see HEXZA's share price in the region of 70s+ or 80s+. As mentioned in my previous comments, given the fact that HEXZA is indeed deeply undervalued and fundamentally sound company with a NTA of more RM1, huge cash pile, financial investment worth more than RM50 mil, and for accounting purpose, depreciated properties and plants, which is still valuable assets. And one more, the company has no debts! Last but not least, It could be the controlling shareholders, the big players, most minority shareholders (definitely not all, otherwise who is going to sell the shares in the market), and non-shareholders now see value in HEXZA and wanted its shares even with higher prices: so the share price gone up! How high the price will go? Again, I have no idea. In conclusion, I think the chance for HEXZA's price to go up some more is rather high and it would be unwise to sell the share at any price below RM1. What if the price does not break the RM1 mark before it's dividend goes ex on 26/11? I see nothing wrong to hold the share for another 3 - 5 year time, given the after-tax dividends are still and expect to be better than FD. For your info, I regret selling my 7022 at 1.5 - 1.6 b4 it goes ex, even though my cost was just 80 - 90. Lastly, I just want to share with you what I think about one of my favorite stocks here. The decision is yours, and bear your own risk. 在此吹水吹喇叭,信不信由你。Haha! Good luck!

# AyamTua - I use the traditional method where 1 lot = 1,000 shares. Dividend declared 10% (8% + 2% tax-exempt) which is gross RM50 for every 1 lot (as the par value is 50 sen) So if you have 10,000 shares, you will receive RM500 gross. So if today someone buys 1 lot (1,000 shares, say at 80 sen, he will get a dividend of RM50 which is gross 6.25%, higher than fixed deposit.
