very high in debt, cash level dropping fast. must at least read latest q report first b4 jumping into conclusion. may drop further to somewhere near it's naps of 1.77
I have buy jtiasa since it corrected from the high. My average cost is 2.20, and I m heavy loaded on it. 1 thing I don't understand is, previous year, it's nta is 4 plus, suddenly it drops to 1.70 plus. It's it due to the bonus? I will appreciate mr Koon can give some thoughts on this
Why and who would sell so aggressively in the last few days? When I posted this article, the price of Jaya Tiasa was Rm 2.13 on 1st Nov. and it shot up to above Rm 2.50 and it closed at Rm 2.05 on 30th Dec.
I think a professional fund manager whose book value of his portfolio is showing too much profit and he wants to depress the price of JT so that he can have an easy start for 2014. In any case, you can see for yourself that JT is so ridiculously under valued. Just basing on the market price of Rm 70,000 per hectare for oil palm plantation X 62,500 ha = Rm 4.375 billion which is more than twice of JT's market capitalization.
Let me elaborate on its plywood and timber business. JT has almost unlimited log supply from its own forest while manufacturers from India, China, Taiwan and Japan have to buy & import logs, most probably from JT. Remember JT is one of the largest plywood manufacturers in the world and with its competitive advantage, it will generate sustainable profit for a long time. Currently it is not showing much profit because JT has been using its money from its timber business to plant oil palms aggressively.
I consider JT is my best bet which I will continue to accumulate. After blowing so much about JT, my reputation is at stake. Where can I hide my face if JT remain depressed below Rm 2?
I am accumulating. The price trend is against Jtiasa's fundamentals. Koon has been quite vocal lately and very likely upset the powers that be who have decided to show their financial muscles. Their message: shut up if you want your share price to rise. I agree. Nothing that Koon wrote lately in the political sphere is new to me. So to be prudent and if he has nothing new to say, he should shut up until he can sell off Jtiasa at RM8!
Share market is open. If you trust in this share, you purchase and hold. If you are not trust in this share, you can always look for others. For me, I have the same understanding as Mr. Koon. I started purchase this shares 1 year ago even before Mr Koon 1st comments.
Mr. Koon, please do not let both your political and investment positions be known at the same time. Those political powers-that-be have enough financial muscle to sell you down the river and keep you there! Pity us poor retail investors. Without the big boys coming in, we will be kept low and counting interest cost.
Mr. Koon was right about the improved FFB production, Jtiasa 1QFY14 result showed a 42% improvement in production volume and contributed to a lower production cost.
However its FFB Sales & average CPO price has dropped by 22% and 17% respectively. Its logs and plywood sales volume also reduced by 29% and 15% respectively. These reduction in sales volume of its products and fall in CPO price contributed to its lower quarter revenue compared to previous quarter.
In term of Gross profit, it has improved by 8.9% from RM 59.9mil to RM 65.2 mil. This was due to lower FFB production costs and increased logs and plywood average selling prices by 17% and 12% respectively.
Although profit has improved, Jtiasa lower sales volume has resulted in higher inventory. An increased of RM 29 mil. This has resulted a lower operating cash flow.
Its high capex payment and repayment of short term bank borrowings have reduced its cash holding substantially. As of 31/9/13, its still has a capex commitment of RM 103 mil and RM 391 mil short term loan. Its has another RM 451 mil as long term bank borrowings.
In the year 2014, CPO price will be higher compared to 2013. Hence, its sales volume of its products need to improve drastically in order to address its Achilles heel - cash flow.
The borrowing bomb is too small to burst its large Palm oil land. Money is borrow to invest in oil palm cultivation. It can sustain for very long time unless nobody want to set oil.
Jaya Tiasa is most likely going to tank in view of the on going anti peat land development. It has been highlighted that Sarawak's questionable oil palm plan in planting 2 million hectares of oil palm on mainly peat soil and native lands. Jaya Tiasa is deeply involved on oil palm planting in Sarawak.
guys, please dont blindly follow what people said. Do your own homework. Mr Koon could be wrong (he is human, not god).
The following is an article posted by Mr Koon on Rimbunan Sawit way back in 2011 (I have removed some of the irrelevant wordings). According to his calculation, RSawit's valuation was only RM21,756 per hectare, making it the cheapest plantation stock in Bursa.
However, his calculation was flawed. He has made two major mistakes : (1) he forgot to factor in 194m ICPS, which is convertible into 733m new RSawit shares, (2) he only took into consideration the equity component of the balance sheet, but not the debt. (in other words, he uses Equity Value per hectare, instead of Enterprise Value per hectare).
I have done my own calculation and it turned out that the Enterprise Value per hectare for RSawit was RM37,850 per hectare (at the time Mr Koon wrote the article in 2011) and not RM21,756 per hectare. At RM37,850 per hectare, RSawit was fully valued at that time (and until now it is still fully valued as the trees had yet to fully matured). That was why RSawit has not gone up at all until now (latest closing 77 sen).
my EV calculation is based on following :- (1) shares of 2014m on fully diluted basis (instead of 1,308m shares as per Mr Koon assumption) (2) price of RM0.83 (as per the price when Mr Koon wrote the article) (3) debt of RM380m (4) cash of RM208m (includes RM118m short term investment)
EV = (2,014m x RM0.83) + RM380 - RM208 = RM1,866m
EV per Ha = RM1,866m / 49,300 ha = RM37,850 per ha (instead of RM21,756 per ha)
for ease of reference, the article below was from Mr Koon in November 2011
Is Rimbunan Sawit the best value plantation stock NOW? by Koon Yew Yin, the philanthropist tycoon.
I have studied almost all the plantation stocks and in my opinion R. Sawit is the cheapest in terms of NTA and its profit growth prospect in the next few years.
As you know, I do not or very seldom recommend people to buy any share. But in this case, I am doing it because I strongly believe this share is the cheapest plantation company in terms of NTA and profit growth prospect in the next few years which is the single most important criterion in share selection.
The share closed at Rm 0.83 on 9th Nov 2011. Its market capitalisation = Rm 0.83 X 1308 million issued shares= Rm1086 million.
Total planted acreage is 49,300 ha. The cost per ha is 108672 million divided by 49,300 = Rm 21,756.
IOI announces about 3 months ago that they are buying about 11,900 ha of oil palm plantation from Dutaland Bhd for Rm 830 million cash = Rm 69,740 per ha.
For Rm 830 cash you can buy 77% of the whole company of R Sawit Bhd which have just received about Rm 400 million cash from the right issues.
United Plantation total issued shares is 208.13 million shares X Rm 17.80 = Rm 3,705 million market capitalisation. According to its annual 2010 report it has 45,494 ha planted that is Rm 3,705 million divided by 45,494 ha= Rm 81,439 per ha.
R Sawit is selling only at Rm 21,756 per ha. Koon Yew Yin 10th Nov 2011
Icon8888, correct me if I am wrong, Koon was using market capitalisation value for his calculation. Debt is not relevant in such calculations using market capitalisation since it is already factored in by the market. Whether Koon was right or wrong depends on whether he also use market capitalisation values for United Plantation and IOI in coming up with figures for comparision. Also your figures depends on whether the RM0.83 per share reflects the full dilution from the ICPS issue of 733 million shares.
