Insas and Graham net net
In 1932 at the bottom of the Great Crash, Ben Graham wrote an article on Forbes about the cheapness of the market and how companies are being quoted in the market for much less than their liquidating value, as if they were all destined to be doomed. He called these types of stocks, "net nets", companies that sell for less than its net current asset value, or net net working capital. Graham used the following formula to compute the liquidation value of a company.
Net Net Working Capital = Cash and short-term investments + (0.75 * accounts receivable) + (0.5 * inventory) – total liabilities
It's the lowest form of valuation you could possibly do because it ignores everything about the business and just focuses on tangible assets. The formula states that; • cash and short term investments are worth 100% of its value • accounts receivables should be taken at 75% of its stated value because some might not be collectible • take 50% off inventories, due to discounting if close outs occur
Insas’s latest balance sheet as at 30 June 2013 was used to compute the net tangible asset and Graham net net values. Besides cash, the net net values of quoted and unquoted investments owned are also taken as 100% of the book value. Note that tax assets, property, plant and equipment, Goodwill and “other assets” are taken as worth nothing.
The appended table shows that the Graham net-net value of Insas is RM1.23. This is more than twice its closing price of 64 sen on 30 October 2013.
Besides Insas has been profit averaging 6 sen per share for the last 10 years. It has on average positive free cash flow and a healthy balance sheet.
Why is Insas trading at such a big discount to its Graham net net value? I guess is investors have not much trust in the management in maximizing minority shareholder value. No dividends have been declared until recently, although it has been buying back its shares. So with the beginning of this more tangible dividend distribution, will Insas be re-rated in accordance with its value?
Insas Graham net net Cash and equivalent 532,894 100% 532894 Investments 120,290 100% 120290 Investment properties 151,432 100% 151432 Associate companies 90,145.63 100% 90146 Receivables 345,289 75% 258967 Inventories 15,830.73 50% 7915 PPE 59,765 30% 17929 Other assets 43,503 0% 0 Total assets 1,359,150 xxxx 1179574 Total liabilities -325,949 100% -325949 Net assets 1,033,201 xxxx 853,625
No. of shares 693,334 xxxx 693,334 NAB 1.49 xxxx 1.23
I suspect something going on company aggressively buying back stock, lots of cash, low pe, price embarrassingly far below nav, how can it go down ! to a day trader maybe but to an investor its a dream stock because its worth a whole lot more. Even if liquidated it is conservatively very conservatively worth 2 to 3x more. How many shares r like this? Many selling far higher have NO value at all. Sell those why doncha.
