Waseong is a BUY

In Q4 it reported a profit before tax of RM64 million and after tax of RM114.6 mil with a EPS of 8.54 Sen. After taking away exceptional profit on disposal of land and building of RM27.4 million and equivalent of EPS 3.5 Sen, it still achieved an operating EPS for Q4 of 5.04. The EPS of FY 2017 after adjusting for the gain disposal is 11.13 Sen instead of 14.63 Sen reported inclusive of the gain on disposal.

At 170 it is trading at historical operating PE of 15.27 based on operating EPS of 11.13. Given the positive sector, the Q4 operating EPS of 5.04 should be growing (Note that Q3 EPS was 3.97 Sen). I would project the FY 2018 EPS to be 20.16 without growth in profit.

At FY 2018 with a projected EPS of 20.16, its forward PE at 170 is 8.43. It is attractive if you factor in the growth in profit in view of the buoyancy of the industry.

Always nice to see record revenue with record profit..
What I like:
- better operating cash flows (+200m in Q4 alone)
- lower debts (-RM100m)
- complete disposal of plantation business (P&L should improve 5-10m/year), further streamlining their business is good.
What I don't understand:
- O&G business - excluding one-off items, PBT in Q4 was 36.6m, lower than 49.8m in Q3 even with a much higher revenue, Gross profit was not growing much in Q4.
- not sure why they have impairments (RM73m) on PPE in their O&G business every year

Many investors may strive to be in the stock market when the bulls are running and out of the market when the bears are in charge. Investors often use multiple strategies when setting up their portfolios. Some may rely solely on fundamental analysis, technical analysis, or a combination of both. Investing can be an extremely tough process. Individual investors often strive to gather and analyze vast amounts of information in order to make educated decisions. Often times, investors may have initial success in the stock market, and then things may turn sour. Confidence may be necessary to make the tougher decisions, but overconfidence may lead to an underperforming portfolio. Overconfidence may cause the investor to make poor decisions because they are relying too heavily on personal interpretations.

Taking a deeper look into the technical levels of WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD (5142.KL), we can see that the Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -77.78. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would point to an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would signal an oversold situation. The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams. This is a momentum indicator that is the inverse of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator.

WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD (5142.KL) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -104.45. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.

The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD’s 14-day RSI is currently at 48.59, the 7-day stands at 39.73, and the 3-day is sitting at 32.25.

For further review, we can take a look at another popular technical indicator. In terms of moving averages, the 200-day is currently at 1.10, the 50-day is 1.43, and the 7-day is resting at 1.54. Moving averages are a popular trading tool among investors. Moving averages can be used to help filter out the day to day noise created by other factors. MA’s may be used to identify uptrends or downtrends, and they can be a prominent indicator for detecting a shift in momentum for a particular stock. Many traders will use moving averages for different periods of time in conjunction with other indicators to help gauge future stock price action.

Currently, the 14-day ADX for WAH SEONG CORPORATION BERHAD (5142.KL) is sitting at 24.77. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.

When dealing with the stock market, investors may seek to make trades that will limit regret and create a sense of pride. Often times, investors may be challenged with trying to figure out the proper time to sell winners or let go of losers. Of course, nobody wants to sell a winner if it looks like there may be more profits to be had. On the other hand, nobody wants to hold on to a loser for so long that severe losses pile up. Investors often need to assess their own appetite for risk. Some may be able to stomach large swings on a daily basis. Others may not be able to take the volatility when dealing with riskier investments. Risk decisions may be made on past outcomes, and investors who have experienced previous profits and gains may be more likely to take a bigger risk in the future. Those who have only seen substantial losses may be more risk adverse in the future.

WASEONG’s pipe coating prospects remain positive on the home turf. Some of the jobs include the 800-km pipe manufacturing and pipe-coating jobs for the Multi Products Pipeline (MPP) project connecting Pengerang to Perlis as well as the 600km pipe manufacturing and pipe-coating jobs for the Trans Sabah Gas Pipeline (TSGP) project, which could be awarded soonest by 1H18. Note that both the projects are owned by Suria Strategic Energy Resources Sdn Bhd (SSER), a special purpose vehicle owned by the Ministry of Finance with China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Co (CPP) being the main contractor. We believe WASEONG stands a good chance to win the projects, being the only API certified local pipe manufacturer to compete with Chinese contractors.

From WASEONG announcement :

Wah Seong Corporation Berhad Upbeat on Future Earning

Kuala Lumpur, 16 May 2018 – Wah Seong Corporation Berhad (“WSC” or “the Group”)
is announced its first quarter results today. For the quarter under review, the Group
recorded revenue of RM 792.8 million, more than 100% increase from its revenue of
RM 316.8 million in the corresponding quarter last year. This had contributed to the
Group recording a healthy Profit After Tax and Minority (PATMI) of RM 29 million from
RM 9.5 million in the corresponding quarter in 2017.

“The Group started the year very well. Our first quarter earnings are robust, and this
follows an excellent fourth quarter last year. The net gearing has come down to 0.6x
and is expected to improve further this year”, said Chan Cheu Leong, Group Chief
Executive Officer and Managing Director.

Last year, the Group ended the year with a Profit After Tax and Minority Interest
(PATMI) excluding one off of RM 88.9 million, which was largely contributed by the Oil
and Gas Division. With the oil price stabilising at USD70 per barrel, the Group
anticipates capital spending of oil and gas exploration companies to increase and
expects an upsurge in demand for its products and services. The Group’s order book
of RM 2.51 billion is largely contributed by the Oil and Gas Division, and Nord Stream 2
Pipeline Project accounts for RM1.6 billion of the order book. A large chunk of this
order book will be executed during the year and will contribute positively to the Group’s
performance.

Waseong is not BN related. It is owned by Chan and Tan family from Tan & Tan and IGB. Waseong was a company started by Tan Chin Nam in Ipoh as a catering company for British soliders during the war. Now, it is an oil and gas company owned by Chan (who used to be Tan Chin nam's right hand man).
