wantanmi, you must be joking, BJCorp is using the money to buy shares in BJFood, BJLand, and BJCorp... BJCorp is understandable, BJLand only if BJCorp is really into privatizing BJLand, BJFood is a big joke, given an earlier news years ago saying BJCorp is looking to sell BJFood. Whats more, BJLand is spending 26 million buying shares in 7-11 and BJFood instead of offering a dividend to allow BJCorp buying those shares...

Posted by wantanmi > 2020-04-09 15:24 | Report Abuse

Do look at the Gamechanger ATM...RM26 million spend on buying 7-11 & BJFood shares when cheap is an investment. These investment in shares of essential services which are still allowed to operate and making money during MCO when other bizs are closed can be monetized with a profit anytime when the share market recovers. All people with finance & investment background should realize this...

So, instead of weathering uncertain times during this Pandemic, you have suggested a different idea, investing when its cheap... Aren't you aware BJLand is a subsidiary of BJCorp while BJFood and 7-11 are either subsidiary or associate of BJCorp too?

Parity for shares swap sooner or later? The exchange ratio is getting closer to Penta's deal..btw BJ Group needs all the cash it can lay its hands on to weather uncertain times during this Pandemic...

Which companies on Bursa have high cash and low debt
KUALA LUMPUR: The second extension of the movement control order to contain the Covid-19 outbreak — now totalling six weeks until April 28 — means that economic activities will remain subdued for at least another 14 days.
The pandemic, which has infected nearly two million and killed over 100,000 worldwide, presents the worst start possible for the recession expected ahead. As the infection curve has yet to near its peak, it is anyone’s guess on the depth of the economic downturn.
Against this backdrop, survival is the prominent concern now. Investors’ attention is drawn to companies’ balance sheets instead of growth prospects, which is widely expected to be minimal in the best-case scenario, as business volume dwindles and operating cash flow shrink.
Asia Analytica data shows that of some 880 listed companies (after excluding the 40 banks, insurers and investment trusts), 597 companies listed on Bursa Malaysia have cash that is less than their short-term liabilities.
Companies in many different sectors are underlined here, from furniture companies to retailers, automotive-related firms, and a wide range of manufacturers and trading companies.
Meanwhile, 223 listed companies have an interest cover ratio of below one times, meaning their earnings before interests and tax cannot cover interest expenses for a full year. The market capitalisation of most of these companies are below RM2 billion.
Some 321 companies were already in the red last year. Of the 599 profitable ones, around 45.6% of them saw profit decline in the period. Again, most on the list are small-cap firms, according to Asia Analytica data.
It is also worth noting that the economic downturn would be a tough test on companies’ sales quality. Companies with a high portion of credit sale with mounting receivables could be at risk amid the potential cash trap.
A random check shows that 75 listed companies or 8.2% have net gearing of over 100%. Sectors with the most companies in this category are logistics, construction, oil and gas, building materials and property development.
Others with net gearing of above 80% include power companies, telecommunications companies and building materials companies. Power producers’ liabilities are usually backed up by the steady cash flow from power purchase agreements.
On the flip side, notable sectors with low net gearing average include Internet and gas utility companies, and technology solution providers.
Of 79 generic companies with market capitalisation of above RM2 billion (ex-banks, real-estate investment trusts and insurers) only 22 have a cash ratio of above one times and net gearing of below 50%, led by Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd, Petronas Gas Bhd and IOI Corp Bhd.
As reflected by the price-to-book valuations, preference is given for companies with high cash, low debt, steady recurring income and high-quality clients, such as tech companies, and broadband providers.
There are also lesser-known small-cap companies that are cash-rich with sturdy past operations.
As a fund manager pointed out that a downturn is a brewing pot for merger and acquisition activities, as smaller, cash-rich companies with good assets or business prospects usually become undervalued after the market selldown.
The first quarter’s (1Q20) financial result will show how much cash was exhausted amid the two-week shutdown in the second half of March, while prospects of the entire half of 2Q20 being under movement restriction are still visible.

BCorp to acquire 4.61% of Berjaya Land for RM87m
Facebook Twitter

AHMAD NAQIB IDRIS
January 31, 2019 | Updated 1 year ago
KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 31): Berjaya Corp Bhd (BCorp) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Juara Sejati Sdn Bhd have entered into an agreement with Penta Master Fund Ltd, PCM Industrial LP and Penta Asia Long/Short Fund Ltd to acquire 4.61% of Berjaya Land Bhd (BLand) for RM87.4 million.

In a bourse filing yesterday, the group said the 230 million Berjaya Land shares will be acquired for a total purchase consideration of RM87.4 million or 38 sen per share, to be fully satisfied via the issuance of 291.3 million BCorp shares at an issue price of 30 sen apiece.

*Berjaya Land inks deal to develop US$1b Four Seasons Resort in Japan

*Berjaya Land sells entire stake in Intercontinental Hanoi for RM222m

The stake purchase comes on the heels of an earlier announcement by BCorp executive chairman Tan Sri Vincent Tan of plans to restructure his business empire as shares of the group’s listed entities BLand and 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Bhd, are largely undervalued, for instance.

He indicated the restructuring could involve the sale of assets, the privatising of 7-Eleven Malaysia and BLand, and the listing of BLand’s hotel assets on the Singapore Exchange.

As at Jan 29, BCorp and its subsidiaries held a total of 3.61 billion BLand shares, or a 72.28% interest, and upon completion of the stake acquisition, will own 76.89% of BLand.

BCorp said the acquisition is an opportunity for the group to increase its stake in BLand without having to incur any cash outlay, thus mitigating any immediate impact to its cashflow for day-to-day operations and avoiding any incurrence of interest from bank borrowings.

“The proposed acquisition will eliminate any possible material decrease in the market prices of BLand shares should the Sale Shares be disposed of in the open market.

“The proposed acquisition will not only mitigate such risk, while at the same time enable the BCorp group to increase its equity participation in the future growth and prospects of the BLand group,” it said.

The group expects to complete the exercise within the first quarter of 2019. — theedgemarkets.com
