If it's a conventional bank license, it would be profitable. For a digital bank, providing services to unserved, underserved or unbanked individuals are not profitable biz. Just my 2 cents.
Is additional choices, can't say not profitable though, similar with pawn shop, looks not so powerful now but cant denied that still potential in future, have to explore further
YTL Digital Capital SB is actually a sub-sub of YTL Corp Bhd ie a direct subsidiary of YTL Power International Bhd which is subsidiary of YTL Corp Bhd. Ytl capital digital is an investment holding company with an equity interest of 55.5% owned by YTL Power International Bhd ..please refer to Notes to the account under Note 15 -investment in subsidiaries on page 193 of the Annual Report of YTL Corp. listed in Bursa.com..no more confusion.
YTL also own YTL Cement, YTL Land, YTL-E.....if can privatise YTLP lagi best... Haven't seen YTL's market cap fall below 10bil before.... now only close to 7bil.... with so many valuable assets and lands...
DannyArcher, it is RM71.6 billion to be exact in my bluesky case. Please read the article again and go through my arguments there. You are welcome to give any comment then.
The company has so many good long term assets that take time to unlock, eg. the KL prime land, Niseko landbank, Wessex Waters. PowerSeraya will fly next year and cement division will go up strongly in next few months. Patience is the key.
total shares issued too heavy, your only hope for ytl to break rm1/2 is a new partnership deal where the new partner takes up some market share. thats where digital banking license comes into play, makes it more attractive for new business ventures. you never know. its already beaten down price anyway you want 60c to rm6 ? no problem go ask YTL to consolidate 10:1 bam rm6 lol
Is ok dragon, mostly look on short term, just wait flush out those, even it not going to rm6 it still have plenty room to go up in coming, thanks for your effort on the analysis
Danny, think you need to compare more, many factors like company making profits not, dividend for shareholders etc. Ytl debt is quite high + due mco the profit loss, but got mega project and other to cover it, moreover digital bank lisence sure add some profit, berjaya seem stagnant and nothing more interesting value add
end of discussion, next week ready to catch the DIP. US market pillar broke, all shake.... panic sell incoming again after the dip > rebound > repeat next fed meeting.... aduh............. SEMUA MERAH esok?
Maybe I'm wrong but overall this is what I analyse, today not just ytl drop, can say mostly is red, possible due to US interest rate hikes, oso possible we have long holiday and reflect the drop in short for US there
ytl is a good counter for long term, easily make back X2 if you buy around 50-60c. there are a few reasons 1) digital licensed granted - see how they utilize it 2) ytl communication, signed agreement with DNB for country's 5G network. there are other telco, but 5G is a big project maybe YTL can get slice of it 3) beaten up share price down so low, how low you still want. 4) recovering theme - tourism, leisure, construction there are downside, because the whole market is negative. but if you know what you are buying into, its worth the hold and will give you a peace of mind
its FED's talk repeating again. like what happened during march 15-16, +- 5days for speculation. malaysia market dip for a week and rebounded...... will history repeat itself? dont miss the dip, but also diverse your portfolio. money stuck all in 1 counter is the riskiest
YTL may have some USD debts exposure but most of these borrowings are ring fenced at subsidiary level, meaning that these debts are secured by subsidiary assets or project based, and will not have any recourse to YTL holding level. For example, RM13.3 (2.4 billion pounds) billion of the debts sit inside Wessex Waters and served by Wassex revenue in pounds, RM6.9 billion (USD1.6 billion) of debts are ring fenced at the Jordan power plant project and will be serviced by project cash flows, etc.
In fact, YTL group has a total of USD 4.0 billion (RM17.2 billion) of unencumbered cash that can be deployed for M&A deals. When the time comes, they will strike and put the cash reserves to work.
Danny, I have not studied Berjaya group but I do know they too have plenty of prime land in KL. Anyway, I have explained in details why the share price of YTL has dropped in past 7 years, please read the article again.
There are plenty of under-valued stocks in Bursa and there are reasons why they are cheap. There are plenty of stocks that are over-valued but still people chase it higher, eg. glove stocks in 2020 and tech stocks in 2021. Undervalued stocks will not remain low forever, just waiting for the right time to get uncovered. And I believe the right time is here for YTL to deliver and its share price to at least double up in next few months.
Again, I ask the question - what have you got to lose by buying YTL at decade low prices? Furthermore it still gives decent dividends. The downside may be 10% max but upside is >100%. Can you find me another stock that can give such an odd?
As I explained, these debts are mostly ring fenced at subsidiary level and have no recourse to the holding company. YTL Corp is actually in net cash position at the holding level.
Rising interest rates will have no impact on Wessex Water nor Jordan project. Wessex is in a regulated asset business with a prescribed debt-to-equity ratio of its capex spent and Wessex is well within the prescribed debt-to-equity level below 70%. Rising interest rates will in fact raise its regulated asset value faster, making its Regulatory Capital Value (RCV) higher by minimum 500 million pounds by the end of this 5-year regulatory period. At 1.6x RCV, Wessex will be worth 800 million pounds more in 2025.
The Jordan project debt is ring fenced at the project level and will be serviced by project cash flows. The project company may have entered into interest rate swaps to protect it against future interest rate hikes. It will have no impact to YTL holding level.
