My ideal stock choices. I am looking at holding of at least 12 months.
MrTan, please add me in. My choices are : 20 % each on a.SKPetro b. Gadang c. BCB d. Amcorp e. Insas
Thank you.
Reasons for picking SKPetro/Gadang/AmCorp/BCB/Insas.
SKPetro : Since we are on Buy and Hold strategy, oil price should rebound in the 2nd half 2015 and SKPetro should rebound ,too. Has very high order book in hand. Likely will lead the O & G rebound in 2nd half 2015.
Gadang : Order book >1.3b, well diversified. Construction activities should pick up this year. Low PE 7.3X.
AmCorp : Many projects in UK, will benefit from weak RM. Pays reasonable dividends.
BCB : High GDV for smallish property company > 4 billion. HomeTree 1.8b ; Bandar Putera Indah, Batu Pahat ( with HSR to Singapore having a station here ) 1.1b ; Concerto 560mil and Park Residence@Medini 1.2b ( small units of about rm400k each). Market cap only about 200 mil. Net TA about rm 400 mil.
Insas : Inari will be main catalyst. Its valuation alone 80% plus that of Insas market capitalisation. Some investment in UK as well. Grossly undervalued, i believe. Create Your Own Portfolio?
If the sales response is good for its both Home Tree Phase 2 (Broad Leaf) and Park Residence @ Medini, then BCB will be on track to register fantastic profit growth in the next 2 years to sustain its last 3 years impressive performance. http://bcbbhd.com.my/investor-relations/5-year-financial-highlights/
Makes any difference whether revenue or profit will be record high? Management is not bothered to disseminate such good news. Look at last AGM in Dec 2014. Profit doubled , revenue up by 60 to 70% . Yet not a single newspapers reported. Why such low profile ? Is the company worried of close scrutiny? If you are interested , you should ask how directors are rewarded. Are there substantial related party transactions? Are there too many family members? Are their salary exceptionally high? Any extra benefits in kind? Driving big fancy cars with fancy number plates? Are the interest of minority taken into consideration. Do they have long term plans ? Is the management still having myopic viewpoint? Still thinking like a small town developer?
To a certain extent. Stockdummy is right. No matter how good the company, if nobody knows, even long term holders will suffer. No div for past 10 years ( until this year ) . Only major shareholders who are also directors with good salary and benefits will gain and survive.
Quarter results out today, much earlier than last year, drop compared to last year's quarter. Revenue 74 mil vs last year of 83 mil, YTD revenue 198 mil vs 119 mil PAT 8.4 mil vs last year of 10.3 mil, YTD 19.1 mil vs 14.3 mil EPS 4.2 sen vs last year 4.4 sen, YTD 8.5 sen vs 6.4 sen NTA at rm 2.00
YTD revenue 198 mil for 6 months with pat of 19.1 mil. Increase 66% over last year. I think the last 2 quarters will be good with completion of Concerto in 3rd quarter 2015 and completion of Home Tree phase 1 by end 2015. Hopefully better dividend than 3 sen.
Usually, billings will intensify near to completion. Hopefully, revenue will surge with the impending handover of Concerto in the 3rd quarter and Home Tree phase 1 at end of the year. After which, in addition to housing estates in Kluang and Batu Pahat, revenue should be supported by Park Residence and other Home Tree phases.
Broadleaf Residences is a leasehold development on a project site spread over 49.27acres.
The project’s bungalows starting from RM2.7mil will feature five different designs with built up areas ranging from 4,942sq ft to 6,081sq ft.
Each bungalow comes with either a six bedrooms of seven-bedroom layout with up to eight bathrooms.
The homes will come with high-end electrical and sanitary fittings along with extra features such as rainwater harvesting systems and solar-powered hot water systems.
The township of Kota Kemuning where Broadleaf Residences is located, is accessible via a network of major roads and highways, including the Shah Alam Highway, North-South Expressway, Kesas Highway and Federal Highway.
Broadleaf Residences is expected to complete in three years.
Management should consider rewarding shareholders by following Matrix Concepts with bonus and free warrants. High time to consider some corporate exercise. Highly illiquid although PE is so low and NTA 2X share price. Profit on increasing trend. GDV in the billions . Might as well take the company private !! Major shareholders and Board should ask themselves, what is the purpose of continuing with the listing ???
Eltonooi, I said management should follow Matrix Concepts or do some corporate exercise. There are no news on this matter, hopefully management should not sit idly. Very boring stock .
Buying this counter now is like taking a ride in a time machine in the movie " back to the future ". Value investors can enjoy the fruits of founding directors for the effort and good management that had shaped BCB to what its today.
The retained earnings accumulated is already 86% of issue share capital ( par value 1.0 ) since listed in 1996.
By this FY ending 30/6/15, the retained earnings should be more than 100% of share capital. The issue for such companies is all about the quality and priority of its management , whether management and major shareholders centric only or to take care of all shareholders. In this case, I am not sure whether management has minority interests at heart.
With all these positive developments mentioned, have anyone ever wonder why the stock is still so quiet, dull ?
Could it be the management lackadaisical attitude towards the share price performance? Could it be that the management has more important personal matters to take care ? Have you read or heard of management engaging with fund managers or business news reporters etc ? Are they media shy ? Why ?
How many years have BCB been listed ? 20 odd years. How have shareholders been rewarded ? To all loyal shareholders, maybe its time to look somewhere else.
Things are improving. First dividend of 3 sen last year. Here is a summary of some major GDV as per the Annual Report : Bandar Putera Indah, Batu Pahat : 1.1 billion ( 390 acres, launched 10 % ) Medini Iskandar Malaysia : 1.2 billion ( small units soft launch ) Concerto Mont Kiara : 560 million ( completing this year, 70% sold ?) Home Tree, Kota Kemuning : 1.8 billion ( soft launch 2nd phase of bungalows )
Total GDV 4.66 billion for a small company with 200 million market capitalization ie GDV/Market capitalization of more than 23 times is quite impressive.
To a certain extent, I do agree that BCB may lack dynamic leadership and management as well as lacking in corporate expertise. I do noticed that there are a number of young family members holding key positions. In total there are 5 family members out of a total of 9 board members.
Dear Valueseeker, thanks for the effort for outlining the current project on hand and also the future up coming launch. With the total GDV mention, 3 to 5 years down the road is already in the pipeline.
Collect more while its still hibernate. I will be collecting 15 cents from ( A&M realty ) soon and BCB SURE will reward ne better. U know why?
