Dutaland is already a debt free company before the plantations sales. The proceed of RM750 mil is $0.88 cash/share. NTA will go up to RM1.80 and is still undervalued because the land assets yet to mark to market .
Proceeds will be injected into Kenny Heights development and to complete the six stars hotel construction. So high NTA will not help if there's no core recurring earnings.
No. of shares 846 million? Gross sale proceeds RM750 million before deduction for RPGT and other incidental expenses. Net book value of land and the assets on land in accounts how much?
The future recurring income of Duta will be from the hotel project (I think cum shopping) along JB sultan ismail. Development at Kenny hill which is prime area will also being earning too.
I must say Dutaland has now become very neat and nett cash company. If Management has really learnt past bitter lesson there is good future for Duta. So, you have to judge along this line....
Based on 2016 Annual Report, the land has a carrying value of RM352m (revalued in 2015).
Note: AR2016 states that the land measures 29,599.25 acres which is a bit larger than 11,600 hectares. For conservative computation, am assuming the entire value of this piece of land as cost. Am not sure why there is a difference in measurement.
Land is being sold for RM750m. Say incidental expenses amount to 2.5% of selling price i.e. RM18.75m, giving a pre-tax profit of approximately RM380m. RPGT of 5% amount to RM19m. Net profit for the sale of land is therefore RM360m.
At 846m number of shares, EPS is approximately 42.5 sen.
Dutaland has room to run because it was a laggard stuck at the 40-50 sen range even when overall market was bullish. The deal wad initiated when price of Dutaland was near all time low.
i had a big laugh when a ceo of a certain fun house that is no longer ard telling me that he wants his fund managers to be stock pickers and not timing the trade many many yrs ago.
Both Dutaland and Media have lousy management, but valuable asset.
Support Dutaland, coz personally think that the land disposal deal will be on.
No comment on media, because I'm not really familiar with its financial status, but I knew that after it acquired Rev's business, based on normal practice, sure a lot of goodwill / intangible asset need to write off. So coming quarter result may not be good.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
