This is a property developer company that has never been able to deliver any profit for the past 9 years since 2010. Those that think the company could suddenly turnaround and deliver profit in FY19 is putting too much hope on the company’s management ability. The most probable outcome would be another loss year for 2019.
The company is also facing liquidity issues. They have a short-term liability of RM113mil but only RM13mil of cash reserve. Unless the company can sell some of their lands quickly, the most likely event would be an equity capital raising (private placement or right issues).
If you are looking to hedge your portfolio outside of WMG Holdings (due to its weak earnings outlook and also weak balance sheet), 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 6.5x 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).
MBMR is expected to achieve a profit of RM200mil in 2019. At the current share price, the company is being valued at only 5.4x 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.
Current CEO is useless. Old business was built up by Kong but he got ousted out due to he is minor share. WMG's valuation should be higher provided the CEO resigned. He is leading this company down to the drain. A few failed projects after RTO. Sejati Walk with no proper management. They should engage good reputable mall manager to run the show not some amateurs. A high rise condo in Sandakan. Even IJM suffered with their high rise project. Lately a development near Kolombong Industry Zone, are they nuts or what? Our valuation is only worth 3.5 cents.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
