Those that are buying into this company need to be bit careful. In terms of fundamentals, the company has a really weak profit earnings outlook. Total FY18 profit was less than RM1mil with the latest quarter recording a loss of RM200k. At the current share price, the company is trading at a very high PE of almost 60x.
Investors need to take note, that the recent spike in price that started on the 22nd Feb is not the first time that it happens for this company. Last year the share price went up substantially from 44 sens on 5th Mar 2018 to an intraday high of 74 sens on 7th Mar 18 (it however closed at 59 sens that day). However, the share price traded back into the 40 sens range in less than a month given that there was no actual fundamental change that could back the sudden increase in the share price.
If you are looking to diversify your portfolio outside of KSSC (due to its weak earnings outlook and the speculative nature of its share price), I would recommend you to look at MBMR. (https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/pt/5983.jsp)
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 6.4x PE based on FY18 profit of RM166mil. PB is low at only 0.7x BV.
FY19 should deliver another profit growth year to the company. Profit growth will again be driven by the performance of Perodua (via MBMR 22.6% holdings in Perodua) from the still strong sales of new Myvi, sales of SUV Aruz and the introduction of the newly revamp Alza sometime in the 2H19. Aruz which commands a higher margin compared to other models, will help improve the total profit margin of Perodua (which will flow to MBMR’s bottom line as well).
Given the very good result in 4Q18, MBMR is expected to achieve a profit of RM200mil in 2019. At the current share price, the company is being valued at a very low PE of only 5.3x which is a lot lower than the industry average of 15x PE. As an example, UMW (another company with exposure to Perodua) is currently trading at a PE multiple of almost 20x.
Good luck.
