this would be their last quarter right ? Johotin, i think they would definitely worse than last year, but mayb better than previous quarters of this year
Plenitude will held AGM on 31 Oct. Those who attend the AGM, please raise up a question why Plenitude kept high cash for a couple of years. They just sold 15 parcels of land in KL and received RM49.2 Mil cash. If no further investment plan, please request them to give us higher dividend.
As a property developer, it is always need to reserve some money to develop more housing project. Instead of giving out more dividend, perhap plenitude will giving bonus to reward shareholders soon.
What a cheap and undervalue company, has almost 400 millions cash in hand...and a lot landbank which long years haven't re-value... but its market value just worth 600 millions only ?! Do you believe it ?
In 1932 at the bottom of the Great Crash, Ben Graham wrote an article on Forbes about the cheapness of the market and how companies are being quoted in the market for much less than their liquidating value, as if they were all destined to be doomed. He called these types of stocks, "net nets", companies that sell for less than its net current asset value, or net net working capital. Graham used the following formula to compute the liquidation value of a company.
Net Net Working Capital = Cash and short-term investments + (0.75 * accounts receivable) + (0.5 * inventory) – total liabilities
It's the lowest form of valuation you could possibly do because it ignores everything about the business and just focuses on tangible assets. The formula states that;
• cash and short term investments are worth 100% of its value • accounts receivables should be taken at 75% of its stated value because some might not be collectible • take 50% off inventories, due to discounting if close outs occur
Net net comparison of some property companies Three companies from Bursa; Daiman, Plenitude and KSL’s latest balance sheets were used to compute their net tangible asset and Graham net net values. Besides cash, the net net values of land, development costs and investment properties owned are also taken as 100% of the book value. This is a fair assessment as it is believed that these assets are likely to worth more than their book value than otherwise. Note that tax assets, property, plant and equipment, Goodwill and “other assets” are taken as worth nothing.
Table 1 below shows the prevailing share prices of the three property companies at the close in the morning on 6 September 2013, their net tangible assets and Graham net net per share.
Table 1: Graham net-net valuation of Daiman Company Price NTA Net-net Discount Daiman 2.63 4.85 3.76 -30% KSL 2.02 3.13 2.47 -18% Plenitude 2.10 3.35 3.04 -31%
The table shows that Plenitude, with a share price of RM2.10, is trading at the highest discount of 31% to its Graham net net value of RM3.04. Daiman at RM2.63, follows closely at a discount of 30%. It is noted that both Plenitude and Daiman has no debts at all while KSL has a debt to equity of 0.21. Plenitude also has its highest holding in cash at RM1.44, or 37% of the total assets. Daiman’s cash holding is RM1.23 per share, or 20% of total assets. KSL on the other hand has most of its value in land held for development of 36% of total assets. KSL’s net cash is only 47m, or less than 3% of the total assets.
Earnings based comparison Table 2 below shows the market valuation based on earnings at the latest year end results.
Table 2: Market valuation based on earnings Company Price PER EV/Ebit EV/Sales Daiman 2.63 8.0 4.5 1.7 KSL 2.02 6.1 5.2 2.4 Plenitude 2.10 7.4 2.0 0.9
KSL’s PE ratio of 6.1 appears to be the lowest valuation while there is not much difference between Plenitude and Daiman with PE between 7.4 and 8.0. However based on enterprise value, Plenitude has the best value with its market enterprise value (EV) only twice the earnings before interest and tax (Ebit). EV is even less than sales at 0.9 times.
Enterprise Value = Market Capitalization + Minority interest + Total Debt - Cash
KSL is the most expensive when enterprise value is taken into consideration. Its EV is 5.2 times Ebit, basically because it is the only one utilizing a fair bit of debts.
Conclusions All three property companies above show that they are trading at steep discounts to their net tangible assets. They are even traded at substantial discounts to their Graham net net asset values, ranging from 18% to 31%. Of the three, Plenitude appears to be a better bargain with a Graham net net discount of 31% and enterprise value only twice its Ebit and less than its annual sales.

bsngpg, my statement about 75%-80% of the funds under-performed the market is for the research from the US market. My statement is wrong in the Malaysian context....
I guess the Malaysian market is not an efficient market as compared to the US market.
Liar? See personal attack. People here will appreciate if you can tell what lies are in my post in the Graham net-net and private market comparable analysis of Plenitude and other property companies.
This is a post about investing in Plenitude. Is it about managed funds or unit trusts? Or is it for personal attack?
aiyah, told you already nobody gives a damn who you quarrel with and what you are quarreling about.
Share your knowledge here about whether Plenitude is a good investment or not, and why is it good or bad. What other better investments and why. That will be useful.

No medicine can cure you. You really have no conscience. Have some deep thought for yourself.
