Institutional shareholders can be easily convince by IJM mah!

Posted by Johnzhang > 2021-06-12 13:48 | Report Abuse

@Stockraider, I am a lot more optimistic on the special dividend quantum than you . This is because IJM is in very strong financial position to reward shareholders.
To assess IJM's financial capability , we must look at IJM financial position at Company level.

As at 31/12/20 closing,
Fixed Asset $7,912 mil. Vs
Long term Liabilities $2,329 mil
(Out of which $1,400 mil is Bond and 173 mil term loans) The company is not over gear at all.

Current asset $2,408 mil. Vs
Current liability $886 mil
(Very strong nett current asset position and the current asset which are mainly trade receivable of $2,216 mil is sufficient to cover all long term and short term borrowing)

From the above you can also see that the total liability to total asset ratio is only about 30% which is considered very well managed by any standard. There is no hurry to redeem the Bond of $1,400 mil which is the bulk of the borrowing.

The $1,534 mil disposal proceed will come straight to the Company book as Cash!

Don't be alarmed by the Group level.debts as those debts are in the book of subsidiaries and for financing their respective businesses. The disposal of ijmplant itself will reduce the debt at Group level by about $1bil ie the portion of debt of ijmplant. Most debts at group level are bonds used to finance the toll road concession which are scheduled progressively matching to the life of the concessions.

The 30-40% dividend payout from PROFIT ,as the way you view it,.is acceptable if It is a normal course of profit generated from an asset which is still held by the company . However, we are now talking about disposal of asset entailing its capital + profit. As such it should be treated differently.

I am sure majority of the shareholders will be angry if special dividend is only the amount you predicted.

Just my analysis for sharing.

Page 10 already mentioned 800m will be used as special dividend/share buyback.

800m/3,615m shares=22sen

I expect special dividend of 20sen as the company may reserve some portion for sharebuyback.

Good comment & question mah....!

The IJMPLANT DISPOSAL PROCEEDS of Rm 1.5b of that upto Rm 800m is allocated for capital management :

"To be utilised for the Group’s capital management initiatives including but not limited to a special cash dividend to IJM’s shareholders to reward the shareholders for their investment and continuous support to the Group. Subject to prevailing market conditions, the Company may also utilise the proceeds to undertake share buy-back activities at prices which the Company deems favourable"!

THUS Earmarked of Rm 800m for Capital management comprises of share buy back & dividend loh...!!

Lets do the maths loh..!!
IJM total number of shares is 3,633m units if we allocate max 10% for share buy back that is 363.3m units loh!

Assuming average share buy back price Rm 1.96 per share, we would need Rm 712m of this fund allocated mah...!!

Thus the remaining sum available for dividend is Rm 800m - Rm 712m = Rm 88m.

Based on 3633m shares out of Rm 88m special dividend per share is 2.5 sen per share mah!

Thats why raider earlier says;
" U should be happy if IJM give u extra 2 to 5 sen special dividend loh..no way 20 sen mah!"! Of course this worse scenario special dividend of 2.5 sen Mah!

On a more optimistic dividend could be higher as follows loh!:
"If we use payout ratio of 20% to 30%...that means available dividend is Rm 140m to Rm 210m....thus dividend is 3.8 sen to 5.5 sen loh!
The main reason why IJM dispose its plantation is to raise funds to paydown debts & reinvest in its business in order to generate higher return, if they distribute too much it will defeat their purpose mah!
Hence the additional special dividend will be modest level between 3 to 6 sen loh"!

Thats how Raider come up with special dividend upto 2.5 SEN TO 6 sen mah!

The main reasons why need so much monies of Rm 712m are earmarked for share buyback is to prepare possibility of takeover from other predative parties, trying to hostile takeover IJM, bcos it is still deemed as highly undervalue now mah!

Thus a bigger of share buy back fund are required to be allocated upto the max entitlement to ensure IJM is not too undervalue for the sharks to takeover mah!

LU TAU BOH ??

@Stockraider, I am afraid that your maths is merely based on your own assumption that the company is going to buy back 10% of its own share amounting 363.3 mil unit. May we ask on whatn basis is your assumption made?
Assuming your assumption is true such massive buyback will cause share price to shot up $0.50 to $0.80 which is actually not a bad thing for shareholders.
Secondly, as there is no controlling shareholders in IJM (the shareholdings are quite fragmented in the hands of many funds and institutional investors). who's iinterest is the BoD or Management protecting from any hostile takeover ? All the shareholders welcome any takeovers offer at the right price . In the end of the days all the shareholders of IJM wants to receive good return either in dividend or capital gain. Without takeover offer and/or good dividend, you can be sure that the share price will forever be depressed / undervalued in a dying Malaysian stock market .
I think all shareholders know this .

Shareholders can gain thru capital gain too.But dividend is the most direct n immediate reward.

Posted by Johnzhang > 2021-06-13 07:34 | Report Abuse

@klee, agreed. Good dividend is important. By paying good dividend, it will also spur the share price increase. It’s a double effect. On the matter of possible hostile takeover launch by any interest party , all the shareholders in IJM and especially the minorities like us stand to benefit from realization of fair value to our investment. Hostile takeover is only fear by controlling shareholder losing his control , but in the case of ijm there is no controlling shareholder.

Posted by klee > 2021-06-13 08:30 | Report Abuse

Yes Johnzhang.If Bod wants too see the deal thru,they got to payout at least 20 sen dividend for most shareholder support.The maths is simple.Payout 700 mil n keep the 800 mil for company use.Bod benefits too from 20 sen payout.This is win win win.Shareholders win Bod wins Klk wins.

Posted by stockraider > 2021-06-13 12:10 | Report Abuse

Lets be objective loh...!

The whole disposal of IJM plant, the parent IJM makes Rm 700m or about 20 sen per share mah!

If u read the edge today, IJM feared maybe, a hostile take over possibility from sunway, bcos it is very undervalue, thus to pre empt this risk IJM need to monetise its assets & do bigger buy back loh!

Now u look at IJM dividend track record for the past years, it always not that high ranging from 2 sen to 7 sen per share every year mah!

Now u take some people say must give special dividend of 20 sen or the entire profit of Rm 700m of IJMPlant Disposal, do u think it is practical leh ?.

U see they need to sustained IJM to avoid undervaluation & to prevent a takeover, if u propose 20 sen dividend....then what leh ?
Dividend X already IJM share price still adjusted back to low & still very undervalue mah!

The best strategy is to pays a steady increasing dividend based steady increasing profit mah!
To do that IJM need to use the twin strategy of allocating resources to grow its business & do bigger share buy back to prevent the share price too low value undervalue mah!

Now coming back to IJM dividend, it has already announce an interim dividend of 4 sen and from things going maybe another 4 sen final dividend in year end mah..!!
Thus if u throw in interim dividend 4 sen, final div 4 sen and special dividend 6 sen...does that look attractive at overall 14 sen leh ??

FYI total dividend of 8 sen from normal operations is already a record for the year for IJM mah! Now there is still another special dividend 6 sen mah!

In addition IJM still had retained sufficient cash for sustained higher dividend in the future mah!

These are sound strategy capital management mah!

The directors & managements wants some flexibility over this matter mah!

Raider think it is likely the maximum 6 sen or Rm 218m allocated for special dividend & another 4 sen or Rm 145m will be allocated for final dividend mah!

The disposal of Ijmplant will likely to be a done deal mah!

Why are the funds disposing IJM shares especially in the light of such good news?

Posted by maxx papa > 2021-06-16 10:37 | Report Abuse

Bro, this is just a proposal, not approve by AGM yet.
As I know, the proposed price by KLK is lower than the actual value, so the chances to pass are just 50% - 50% (or lower).

If the proposal is accepted, the price will shoot up + special dividend
If the proposal is rejected, I guess the price will drop (we all know what is IJM fair value right?)

Happy trading ya!

Posted by kancs9128 > 2021-06-16 12:21 | Report Abuse

Bro - how come you said the proposed price by KLK is lower than the actual value?

I read in the disclosure at Bursa that the book value of the shares for IJMPlantation (cost of investment) is at 0.8M and the disposal is at 1.5B. This resulted in a gain of $0.7M.

About the KLK shareholders, this is an owner controlled company. Their shareholdings is not as fragmented as IJM. It seems funny if KLK would propose and then, retract.

The risk is probably not passing through the AGM at IJM. But this is a good deal. Why reject?

Anyway - the share price dropping represents a good chance to enter. But i wonder if it can drop below RM1.70?

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — Only approved critical maintenance and repair works may take place in areas under an enhanced movement control order (EMCO), Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusuf said today.


The minister said all other construction activities must be halted to comply with the National Security Council’s directives.

“This means the Miti permission letters previously received may no longer be used to continue construction works during the EMCO period,” he said in a statement, referring to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
