USD is weakening, RM is getting stronger, but when it currency getting stable, the the rank will around 3.80 - 4.00, this will not affect company performance. as a guideline on calculation for last quarter EPS 6.27 with currency exchange rate 4.20, now i assure it 3.80, 4.20 - 3.80 = 0.40, 40 / 420 = 9.5%, so EPS 6.27 drop 9.5% for next quarter, EPS is still roughly maintained at 5.6 sen. if quarterly EPS remains 5 sen, financial year end achieves EPS 20. Based on P.E 10, target price RM2.00
IMHO, when forex drops by 10%, Hevea's profit will drop by a lot more than 10%. This is because more than 90% of Hevea's sales is from exports while most of its cost is in RM. Hevea's 4Q2015 revenue was RM150mil. If USD dropped by 10% and 90% of RM150m is in USD, that means sales would have shrunk by RM13m. But cost would not drop by much since they are mostly in RM. Taking into account 14% tax rate, that means its PAT would drop by RM11mil if forex drop 10%. Assuming Hevea can repeat 4Q2015 production performance (which itself admits 4Q always is their best quarter), its PAT would drop from RM26mil to RM15mil or an EPS of 3.4sen. Annualised, it would be RM0.135.
lets see whether i am dreaming or not, short-term it may not achieve RM2.00, Target price is just based on PE 10, but normally we marked down 20% from target price, if EPS remains 20sen in financial year end. RM1.60 is easily achieved
Jupiter, so scary so should be run away from Hevea.
But the management said the improvement of the PAT also contribution by more order from customer and better cost control which consider of 40% of impact of the PAT improvement. And also said that they actual reduce their selling price because of USD strengthen. so that's mean it will be price increasing if the MYR strengthen. And HEVEA will settle the Loan by April or May. this will help HEVEA to free out MYR25mil every year in future. and portion of this free cash will be pay out as dividend.
Hi Hulk. I am not saying whether Hevea is good to invest into or not. I am only looking at effect of forex drop on revenue and profit.
I follow Hevea as I think it had a pretty good turn around from the near-disaster a few years back. But I am not invested in Hevea. I dont know enough about it to commit.
Sometimes people sure love talking without facts. If you're a true investor, you should not consider too much on forex gain or loss when buying a business. Hevea 5 years Net profit CAGR is 85.72%. From 2011-2014 mid, Hevea's currency is at around 3.00-3.15, yet growth is 55.28%. From 2011-2015 peak, Average currency is at 3.66, growth is 85.72%. While currency appreciation is a windfall, Hevea in previous years has demonstrated that they can register good growth with or without currency fluctuation, unlike some other counters which solely rely on currency windfall. Not to mention, currently 3.90 is still much higher than 2014 and is as high as Aug 2015.
Jupiter, you can check the second quarter of 2015, the higher exchange rate of USD to RM is only RM3.682, compared it to last quarter sale 2015, how much sales it had increased, though the calculation you will know how much EPS roughly hevea can make it in the coming quarter. Currency is not the main issue, how much sales it can increase only the big issue
I suspect all commenters here are not interested to buy Hevea...Market is so boring..so here is for people to talk and past time.all are fake stories here..how this stocks to goes up?if you believe and buy then get trapped..
Hi andrew. I'm really not here to say whether Hevea is good or bad. But like bunny and ezra said, market is boring so what the hey, let's talk.....
If I look at hevea's 2Q2015, revenue was RM111m vs RM151m revenue in 4Q15. That's an increase of RM40m. How much of it is due to forex and how much due to volume sales increase? I dont know. Hahahaha.... But if I may use this method: 2Q15 COS is RM88m, 4Q15 COS is RM109m. So RM21m COS increase I just assume is due to volume increase. Now the GP for 2Q15 is 21%. So applying this on COS means sales increase due to volume should be RM27m (RM21m/79%). So GP increase of RM6m would have came from volume increase. Now GP in 4Q is RM19m higher than GP in 2Q. After minus RM6m, left GP of RM13m that came from increased forex. This RM13m before tax correspond to my earlier post. I dont know if this means my calculation is correct or not but hey, nothing to do now except talk.
My earlier post that ended up with EPS of 3.4sen a quarter is based on Hevea's best Q so far, ie 4Q15 but at lower exchange rate of RM3.80 scenario as first suggested by andrew.
Again, pls note I'm not saying buy or sell hevea, whether hevea good or bad, RM going up or down, Rosmah cantik or not. I'm just here to jabber....
jupiter, that is simple in calculation, what you ask about on "How much of it is due to forex and how much due to volume sales increase?" we are no needed talk about currency exchange rate increased, assuming currency exchange rate remains RM3.682, just talk about the sale was increased from 111m to RM151m is about 26.49%. so, quarter two 2015 is EPS 15.82, the increasing of 26.49% will increase the EPS of 4.19 in result. so EPS 15.82 + 4.19 = 20.01. then we divided by 4 bcos of split, quarterly can achieve EPS 5 based on currency exchange rate RM3.682. May be i am wrong, but currency exchange rate now is USD 1 to RM3.89. so why i need to worry? my worry just the sale which is not achieved in the coming quarter.
suddenly so many expertise appeared @@ buy if you want to hold for 1 year or more, sell if you found this counter is not comfort to hold for short term, that's easy
andrew, your comparison of RM151m and RM111m and the resulting 26.49% (actually it should be 36% as 40/111 not 40/151) increase means you assume the full RM40m sales increase is due to volume increase and nothing to do with forex even though forex went up from 3.7 to 4.3.
you are right Jupiter, the above i assumed which is nothing to do with forex, it only counted on sale increased, this could be wrong on what i am calculated, but based on exchange rate of RM3.682 Q2 2015, EPS 15.82, divided by 4 after split is EPS 3.95, so minimum company can achieve EPS 3.95 quarterly based on exchange rate of RM3.682. this assume is no increasing on sales and exchange rate of RM3.89 now. so EPS 4 is easily achieved, EPS 5 is possible if sale continue increased.
another assuming that is influenced by forex, previous quarter EPS 6.27 -15% forex influenced, it still achieve EPS 5.32.this 15% drop from the 4.30 to RM3.655.
Guys, i think we all should stop the mathematics here....quit the guessing game and stay invested in Hevea. let the numbers speak for themself this May 2016. No point cracking your head and debating. Let those who has bad intentions or jealousy psycho be here. I am very confident of Hevea management and expansion as I had visited their factories in March 2016.
I'm just joking,I have full confidence in this counter & won't sell if profit is not satisfactory,so let's cheers for hevea,current weak USD snenario will be short lived,just hold on,we can't buy sell following the fluctuation of currency,if so,we might as well invest in forex.

but still we have to accept the fact that USD is weakening! Even the company is doing great but we can't foresee what would happen in the future!
