Charlie, any interesting "hidden" news that we should know ?

Posted by charlie > 2014-04-22 22:02 | Report Abuse

No hidden value,just base on the performance.Cash in hand is around $500M.Our Economic growth is sustainable and expected infrastructure & housing project will take off as per plan.I expected new dams are on the drawing board to address current & future water demand.PE is below 30 and dividend yield around 9.5% (FD around 3-3.5%).If Warrant Buffet see this he will put all his money in this counter.

tasek cement brand name is crocodile. They even have a real crocodile in their factory. Don;t know whether the reptile still alive. Maybe it already cover with cement and solid like rock.

Tasek shareholder is 75% from Hong Leong Asia Spore (HLA) . This share is a very stable stock . Maybe one day, HLA will privatise this company.

The profit is always stable. As they are using coal as burning fuel for their kiln and with the coal price is low at this moment, therefore they are not affected by the energy cost except electricity cost.
I agreed with superman and his gang ............ on all their comment.

With close to 500 million in cash. Almost no debt or borrowing. Lets wait for "rewards" to all the loyal shareholders. What say you Board Of Directors Of Tasek Cement Bhd.

Tasek shareholder is 75% from Hong Leong Asia Spore (HLA). HLA have possibility to privatize the company, main indicator is major share holder should have 25%~50% enough, less or more then that is dangerous.

Posted by cyphua > 2014-07-01 21:11 | Report Abuse

500 million in cash is last time, pay a lot of dividend already, need to calculate and check from annual report.

i'm not sure if you guys have noticed but the dividend payouts significantly higher than earnings per share.

F.Y. EPS DPS NAPS
2013 77.29 152.00 7.2523
2012 75.50 120.00 7.6864
2011 83.20 100.00 7.9210

Look carefully. the dividend per share is almost DOUBLE the earnings per share. How sustainable is this? When will the money run out, if they are drawing down their cash balance like this?

Posted by jolie2 > 2014-07-13 21:15 | Report Abuse

the main shareholder which is hong leong asia spore need cash to support their other business which majority are consumer business in china which are not doing so good.
But so far, don;t have to worry b'cos their debt is near to zero. No point also they keep the cash in FD with limited interest rate. Better distribute.

Abeerden is buying back now slowly.

Posted by jolie2 > 2014-07-14 03:20 | Report Abuse

tasek cement is a dividend stock based on the following;
a) the machine (crusher, ball mill, vertical mill, kiln,,,,,) is very old. No depreciation cost.
b) they are not growing anymore. They have only 1 cement plant in ipoh perak.
Not like YTL cement where they need money to build new plant and expand regionally.
c) the raw material (limestone) is abundance in perak where there can extract at low cost.
d) they use coal to fire the kiln . The coal price is low.

The only challenge for tasek at this moment:
a) electricity cost
b) maintenance cost due to wear and tear of their old machine.

Posted by Steven Yong > 2014-07-14 03:39 | Report Abuse

They can merge narrA in future.

Posted by jolie2 > 2014-07-14 04:06 | Report Abuse

anything can be possible to create value if both Quek (HL Msia) and Kwek (HL Spore) want to make more money from it.

Anyway, both Quek and Kwek become super rich is due to Tasek during 1980s . If not bcos of Tasek, they won;t have MPI, HL Bank, HL Industries.....

They make a lot of money from Tasek during the construction boom business as that time . From that money, they go into semiconductor business and financial service business.

All interesting and valid points. Lets assume all are true. It still doesn't answer my question.

F.Y. EPS DPS NAPS
2013 77.29 152.00 7.2523
2012 75.50 120.00 7.6864
2011 83.20 100.00 7.9210

Tthe dividend per share is almost DOUBLE the earnings per share. How sustainable is this?

Let me simplify. Assume I have RM100 in the bank, my *Salary* is RM20, my *Expense* is RM40. How long can I continue to spend RM40, assuming the maximum I can increase my earnings is RM30, due to my size and various other costs?
