@mmk79, ya the issuing bank CIMB seems to be purposely setting the computer orders for C28 at a big discount to the fair price of RM0.240 at mother price of RM1.39.
I have filed an official complaint with Bursa, and expect Bursa to initiate actions against CIMB within 2 trading days.
ya it is totally unfair to retail investors like us to suffer such a discount to fair value of the call warrant. Normally call warrants should be trading at most at 1% or fair value, often at 1%-5% premium given that it still has over 3 months before expiry
As the previous CFO Grace Lee has resigned, she was the one blocking my proposal then. Now the MD has been taken over by the founder's son, I hope the new top management will consider more options to enhance shareholders' value and capital structure of the company.
Based on Q1 result, AEON registered operating cashflows (before working capital changes and capex) of RM133.3 million, annualised to RM533 million or 38 sen per share.
Setting aside say RM100-120 million for capex to renovate 3 shopping malls in FY2024, AEON will have free cashflows of RM420 million or 30 sen per share, which could well support a dividend payout of 12-15 sen.
At 7% free cashflow yield, AEON should be worth RM4.28 per share. At 5% dividend yield, AEON should be worth RM2.40-3.00 per share.
We (TA Securities) came away from Aeon Co. (M) Berhad (Aeon)’s analyst briefing yesterday with the following key takeaways:
1. Retail Margin Improvement Expected Throughout FY24
2. Ongoing Refurbishment of 4 Malls/Stores.
3. Additional 11 Malls Equipped with Solar Photovoltaic (PV) is in the Pipeline
We have revised our FY24-26 earnings forecast upwards by 2.0% to 10.5%. Maintain Buy with a revised target price of RM1.68/share, based on DDM valuation (k: 7.1%; g: 3.0%) and rolled forward our base year to FY25.
https://www.tradingview.com/x/hy15Ztx8/ Weekly timeframe with 1.4 closing is a confirmation on the reversal on the downtrend. With some momentum it could push towards 1.52-1.57 at least
AEON CO. (M) BHD is a leading retailer and one of the largest mall operator in Malaysia with revenue of RM 4.1 billion for the financial year ended 31 December 2023.
The AEON group of companies consist of :-
35 AEON General Merchandise Stores, 28 AEON Malls with 13.4 million sq ft of Net Lettable Area, 7 AEON MaxValu, 64 AEON Wellness Pharmacy and 44 DAISO stores.
Mr DIY its closest rival is trading at a PE of 30.4 times ....Mcap....RM17.6 billion AEON is currently trading at a........... PE of 14.6 times.....Mcap....RM 1.9 billion
TA analyst forecast EPS to reach 13 sen by 2026 and dividend payout of 7.0 sen for FY2026. I see that AEON's strong operating cashflows will be more than enough to support the dividend payout of 7 sen.
TA forecasts that AEON operating cashflows to be RM530 million in FY2025, minus out expected capex of RM250m, free cashflows may top RM280 million or 20 sen per share, easily supporting dividend payouts of 10 sen of more as AEON will become a net cash company by 2025.
@Rambutan9, below is the reply from Bursa on my complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your e-mail.
The Exchange closely monitors trading activities in counters traded in the marketplace. Our real-time monitoring and surveillance of the marketplace include (but are not limited to) analysis and examination into all trading activities influencing the price, volume and/or order-book positions of securities which will provide basis to establish irregularities/suspicious trading activities.
The Exchange will initiate the necessary action including market surveillance measures to ensure fair and orderly trading and/or referrals to the Securities Commissions should there any breach to the Business Rules and/or the CMSA 2007.
In the event of dispute, you are advised to seek clarification from your broker or refer the matter to SIDREC for arbitration.
It was a general reply from Bursa, and I do not expect them to tell us exactly what they will do. I am hoping for Bursa to take stern action against CIMB in this case, unless there are more complaints filed against CIMB in the coming days.
I hope those of you who have bought AEON-C28 can make a complaint to Bursa as well tomorrow if CIMB continues to generate computer orders at a significant discount to the fair value of the call warrant.
@Goldberg and @dragon328 .... how about AEON Credit? Are you guys covering this counter as well, and does it approximate the performance of AEON? But I realise AEON Cr is very thinly traded.... cannot go for big volumes.... your kind advice will be great.... :) peace
Hi @Raymond Tiruchelvam , Im unable to answer your question but I thought this article may catch your interest.
AEON Bank (M) Bhd. -------------------- To start Islamic digital operations soon.
KUALA LUMPUR: AEON Bank (M) Bhd, one of the five digital banking licence holders in Malaysia, is set to start operations and launch its banking application by the end of the second quarter this year, says chief executive officer Raja Teh Maimunah Raja Abdul Aziz.
Malaysia’s first Islamic digital bank aims to attract mainly tech-savvy and Generation Z consumers as well as micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) currently underserved due to their size, she said.
The bank will kick-start its operations by offering savings accounts and related transactions for individuals.
“We will (next) launch a minimal viable product, and as we progress, additional products and financing options will follow,” she told Bernama.
To ensure its application is user-friendly and can be accepted by consumers from all walks of life, AEON Bank has done its beta testing among the group’s employees, said Raja Teh Maimunah.
“Digitalisation is the way forward. More people have learned to use online banking (and) we should continue to push it, and at the same time, reduce the hard cash transaction,” she said.
As for the business segment, Raja Teh Maimunah said it will be launched by 2025.
AEON Bank aims to tap into the RM90bil funding gap between large corporations and micro, small and medium enterprises, she added.
“These could be businesses like TikTok or Instagram shops. That is our target segment and it aligns with our role in serving the underserved, which is our mandate.
“These businesses cannot access funding through traditional banks or borrowing methods as credit evaluation needs to be done differently.
“We have to look at different data sources, (the task) of which only a digital platform can do. So, by next year, we will address this gap,” she added.
The bank is working on implementing the Apple Pay feature, which is a digital payment system by Apple Inc, and plans to launch a debit card by the end of this year, according to Raja Teh Maimunah
Cheers @Goldberg ...thanks for the info. In the last Q they recorded small operating loss from the digital banking olerations about RM14m, I guess its still in the start-up stage.
But the last Q, AEONCR announced a 22.32c EPS (annual EPS of 119c), of which if 22.32c annualised at current price of 7.18 thats PER of 8x only !!! Huge potential cor increase considering 13 analyst price target of 11.70 ? hmmm... and this year div is 42.5c.... thats 6% yield..... am i getting this right?
@Raymond if you're into high yielding divvy stock, look no further -RHB Bank offers one of the best DY at 7.2% and high scope for cap appreciation- is high currently trading a book value 7.10 VS current MP of RM5.50. Fyi RHB is controlled by EPF -rock solid.
HLIB issued the technical buy call on AEON on Tuesday morning when the share price was at RM1.38, those who followed the call would have made some money as the share price went up to a high of RM1.48 yesterday before profit taking set in.
Instead it was Maybank and RHB who issued late a technical buy call yesterday morning when the share price was at RM1.43, and they may have caused some of their clients losing money. That's the fact. Removing my posts will not conceal it.
The outlook for AEON is good and the technical chart looks good. But I do not know the reason for the share price rally from RM1.10 to 1.50, I know what you know, I don't know too much.
