@Goldberg, Good analysis. I think PE of 10x for Mnrb is too cheap. This is because Mnrb business is still in growth stage. You should also compare the Net Asset (NA) multiple . MNRB NA is $3.27 per share . Assuming MNRB price at $3.60 (ie 15x PE) , it is only at 1.1x NA (3.60/3.27). Whereas, most other insurance are trading at 2-3 x NA. MPHB is selling the insurance unit to Generali at over 3x NA or book value.
@Johnzhang- totally agree with you MNRB is a deeply undervalued GEM as its NA is RM3.27. In addition MNRB monopolises the reinsurance market in Malaysia.
MNRB is like equivalent GEICO & General RE of Warren Buffet, if u run well, it could be great economic moat & the share price may even at premium instead of at deep discount now mah!
The recent development is very positive for MNRB positive mah!

EPF is considering to buy basic life insurance policy for it's members especially the lower income group . This will bode well for MNRB?

Recently insurance premium had been raised by 30%, reason given was approval by BNM.
PE of merely 5.54 backed by NTA 3.27 90% of shares held by those with more than 100k tickets. Means bilis (below 100k shares) consists of only 10%.
I will not even hesitate to accumulate on weakness shall every opportunity arise. I shall take profit for other speculative counters and start ploughing profits into MNRB.
Like I have said a few times in this forum, MNRB is Takaful Bhd in the making ! Takaful has been trading $4.50 to $5.00 per share at PE over 10 tines .
KUALA LUMPUR (June 14): Bursa Malaysia Bhd has announced six new additions to the constituents of the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (F4GBM) Index, while four were removed from the list following the semi-annual review today.
The six additions into the F4GBM Index are DKSH Holdings (M) Bhd, Heineken Malaysia Bhd, Mah Sing Group Bhd, MNRB Holdings Bhd, Pos Malaysia Bhd and Unisem (M) Bhd.
Meanwhile, George Kent (Malaysia) Bhd, IOI Properties Group Bhd, KLCCP Stapled Group and Top Glove Corp Bhd were excluded from the list.
Following the latest index review, the total number of constituents will be 76 (+217%). All constituent changes take effect at the start of business on June 21 (Monday), said Bursa Malaysia in a statement.
The F4GBM Index measures the performance of public listed companies (PLCs) demonstrating strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices.
This MNRB is now an upcoming investor champion loh!
Why MNRB?
What should be a reasonable price target?
Based on the company's past earnings:
EPS Full Year 2017: 31 cents
EPS Full Year 2018: 43 cents
EPS Full Year 2019: 24 cents
EPS Full Year 2020: 18 cents
EPS Full Year 2021: 23 cents (assuming quarter ending 31.03.21 has same EPS as previous quarter)
EPS of 20 cents x PE of 10 years = min RM2.00 should be the target price. We are not simply multiplying by any PE; in fact, this company has proven over the time that it managed to maintain such EPS.
Based on peers' valuation (relative valuation method)
MNRB is trading at the cheapest PE. Even at a conservative PE of 10x, the min target price is 23cents x 10 = RM2.30.
Based on the company's own earnings for the past 10 years and also based on its peers' relative valuation, the target price for MNRB Holdings Berhad should be minimum RM2.00, an upside of approximately 43% from current price.
MNRB is like equivalent GEICO & General RE of Warren Buffet, if u run well, it could be great economic moat & the share price may even at premium instead of at deep discount now mah!
The recent development is very positive for MNRB positive mah!
@ipohwhitecoffe , it has reached $1.45 now . I am glad that you discovered this gem. Hold it a bit longer to reap maximum harvest. Remember that market goes up and down over a period. Only genuine longer term investors will ride it out and get good return in the end of the day .
Genuine investors believe that good fundemantal will prevail in the end of the day . If you hold this belief you should not be concern of day-to-day and week-to-week's price Volatility at all. If you wish to make handsome overnight gain , this is probably not the counter for you .
TokioDeals, I think slowly averaging down may be a better idea than going all in. Anyway, this MNRB high resistance at RM1.45 is similar to few weeks back like MMC strong resistance at RM1.20. Such high wall that we small retailers can't do anything much save for wait
@ctvelu, I have no definite answer to your question. I guess it is PNB's objective to provide a bit more market liquidity to this stock. As you know MNRB is 60% too tightly held by PNB and it's fund units . Hence, the stock has been trading with at low liquidity which is a situation not attractive to investors especially foreign investors. I certainly don't smell anything fishy .
Yes, agree with John. If u look at the volume sold by PNB and its units, it's not much compared to their total holdings. Also they are only selling around the 140 level. Probably they don't want it to go too high anyways, if they have plans for this company...
