Keck Seng’s major shareholders will privatize the co at lowest possible price after they acquire enough from market. They are the selfish major shareholders n like Damian n Selagor Property BHD, they will not offer much premium . I attended one of its AGM many years ago n proposed to utilize tax credit available (more than $100m)before commencement of Single tier tax system. If not the tax credit will just forfeited by our government. The major shareholders refused outright saying cash meant for other investments if arise. I told them to look after the interest of current shareholders rather than let government forfeiture. If investment opportunity is available, co can always make a call for right issue or something, they rejected me outright.

@MG9231, because They are foreigner, they were not gain any advantage from tax credit via dividend distribution. believe that was why they did not did that for other minority shareholders, and prefer keep cash for "OTHER BIGGER OPPORTUNITY" which they will benefit as well.

Kseng major shareholders tried to block others from buying the stocks at the current undervalued level. Whenever we place one order to buy, they'll try to place another orders jz one or 2 bids above the buyer to prevent this valuable shares from falling to other buyers. Cheers!!! More good news coming.

then, if want to buy, don't Q, direct buy the 1st best selling price so they have no way to block

Keck Seng controlling shareholders ( Ho family ) never paid minority shareholders with the tax credits the previous Financial Year ( and let the tax credit burned )

Yes, a listed co not taking care of minority shareholders is a lousy co n unless it offers to take it private , yet don’t know when?
Moreover, notice directors fee getting higher recently, major shareholders said cash was meant for future new investments, .... they slowly sapu it...

Stingy company, directors all to themselves? Land now so valuable but no revaluation for so many years already, if only they revalue the land.

Posted by fourM > 2019-02-10 10:08 | Report Abuse

There is a reason for not revalue the land and properties, unless necessity arise because the revaluation cost is very high. And once start revalue company properties, the revaluation process must conduct on periodical basic as per standard/ authority requirement, so the recurring cost to company will be very high, as minority I will not suggest to do so as it may harm our interest as well. But what I emphasise is, as a minority we all have to know the fair value of the share on our hand to avoid and reject the unfavour privatisation offer

The Directors/The Ho Family has been slowly buying the shares for their own portfolio years back and most recently from just under RM4/- to the price up to today's level. This Company has enough cash to buy back the shares so we minority will also benefit...why not?

the market value shall be RM17 x 2,772,512 = RM 47,132,704; then the land is under value by RM 43,337,704

fourM, Keck Seng's 3305 hectares of oil palm estates are worth at least RM 3 billion, assuming RM 400,000 per acre. It also has hotels in Hawaii, New York and Toronto, 8,000 ft2 of office space in Singapore and other minor properties. If all these assets are to be revalued, the company is worth at least RM 20 a share.

Posted by fourM > 2019-02-21 07:26 | Report Abuse

@prudentinvestor, yes valuation/fair value per share is approx RM20. I just try myself to identify and break the RM20 in details, so the RM20 per share is more convincing. Thank for your supporting comment on RM20per share.....yeh ... Cheers to all shareholders of Keck Seng. Huat ah

Posted by SUPERDADDY > 2019-02-21 08:24 | Report Abuse

Yeah, even if we give it another discount of 30% at RM14 per share, its still a bumper harvest for all loyal investors of Keck Seng but I believe the board may only offer half of it at RM7 per share as their initial offer to take it private. We may ignore it hoping for much higher offer. Cheers!!!
