Padini balance cash for RM426mil with little unsecured and secure long term debts of just RM40mil. Some more debts level improve from RM56mil to RM40mil. Every Qtr dividend payout 2.5sen, total 10sen dividend. Positive cash flow earning, truly a cash cow company generation money. Most important, earning is predictable, stable and sustainable, except for last Q1FY19 h drop due to tax holiday in Jun - Aug time frame last year 2018 whereby people use up all money to buy big gadget, like car and handphone sales. I believe moving forward Quarters ahead its earning is on track and growth beyond 7sen+ above, back to normal sustainable sales volume upside projection.

Also dont forget that, before 1QFY19 result out Padini share price was stay strong within 6.00+ range, highest hit 6.20. The potential for Padini to go up further even at current price 3.85 still have plenty room to rise up since it is an consumer sector, much stable than airlines or commodity industry since it is more predictable, stable and sustainable business sector.

no more growth story here; online business flat, cambodia business flat, vincci business in thailand just starting and will involve more capex, and what is worse, stingy with dividends. it has large cash reserves but no big expansion plans to use the money and at the same time, refuse to pay more dividends. At a projected 11.5 sen, the yield at the current share price is less than 4 %. Worse return than FD. Sell and put your money elsewhere. For a stock with no tangible and credible business expansion, the PE is way too high.
Padini Holdings Bhd Upgrade to buy with a target price of RM5: Padini Holdings Bhd’s revenue for the first half of financial year 2019 (1HFY19) increased 4.6% to RM792 million attributed to positive growth from existing stores and with four new ones opened during the quarter. However, 1HFY19 net profit decreased by 13% year-on-year due to a poor performance in the first quarter of FY19 (1QFY19). Padini’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) margin eroded by 1.4 percentage points, which was attributable to higher staff costs, rentals and store operational costs. Overall, the 1H performance exceeded our expectations, particularly coming off the heels of a surprisingly low 1QFY19.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, 2QFY19 revenue and core earnings increased by a substantial 40% and more than 100% respectively partly due to the Christmas holiday period and a five-day year-end sale as there were lesser festivities in 1QFY19. The higher profit growth can also be explained by efficiency in cost management. Recall that Padini recorded a surprisingly low net profit of RM18 million for 1QFY19. A third interim dividend per share (DPS) of 2.5 sen (2QFY18: 2.5 sen) was declared. We expect a full-year DPS of 11.5 sen, translating into a dividend yield of 3.3%.
We remain positive about Padini’s outlook as the company managed to shrug off its issues with rising costs, which resulted in a slump in its 1QFY19 profit. The 2QFY19 results demonstrated resilience and Padini’s ability to improve its profit margin despite cost pressure. On the risk side, its new store openings and cost to retain market share could exert pressure on margins. However, Padini has diversified brand names that appeal to customers, in our view. We expect more stable earnings for the upcoming quarters due to festive periods, that is Chinese New Year in 3QFY19 and Hari Raya in 4QFY19.
We make no changes to our earnings forecasts. Padini’s share price has fallen heavily since it reported weak results for 1QFY19 in November 2018. We believe that its current share price has more than fully reflected the lower earnings expected for FY19. — BIMB Securities Research, Feb 28
Operating costs will go up from 3QFY19 as SST impact will kick in. For 1HFY19, they are able to enjoy lower costs due to inventory stock up during tax free period. Very unlikely that they are able to pass on fully the costs. Therefore we shall see some margin compression moving forward.
They are big locally. But room for growth is limited because their strategy is to open stores inside mall. Those new malls that will come online are mainly in klang valley. It means that it could cannabalise the sales for its existing stores. Furthermore other fast fashion retailer brands like H&M and Uniqlo are giving out discounts and entrance of other new brands like 7Dayz and HLA will worsen the competition in local fashion retailing industry. So it is very unlikely that they could price up to offset thr cost increase as it differs from its motto to provide affordable fashion items.
The contribution of overseas venture is pretty minimal at the moment. And they dont plan to expand in a big way.
Assuming they are making RM150-160mil net profit for FY19 which is about the same level that they made in FY17, that means they should trade around the level during the level which is below RM3.00.
So if u hold Padini share today, u should sell before everyone else does.
i think the brand name itself shud command a little premium, as it has been in malaysia for so many years, people goto padini to buy CNY clothes, people wears padini clothes to work~
Padini back to normal business earning projection after Q2FY19 result out. I believe it shd revise to PE >20 since its fashion brand is a well known among Malaysian and others Asean consumer appetite. Some more it has a predictable earning, stable & sustainable business history proven throughout many years, proven trustworthy management, debts to earning ratio almost zero, consistent dividend quarterly payout + huge cash flow of Rm420mil resource. Compare to others stable Nestle PE 50+, QL 50+, Dlady 30+, Dialog 30+..., I believe Padini revalue to PE>20 is reasonable, has more room for share price to go up higher after fall from highest 6.20 since last 3mth ago.
Assume average EPS 7sen x 4 = 28sen PE 20 = 5.60... That's 47% room to grow if next Qtr EPS result within 7sen.
For those who less risk taker investors, I believe its a golden opportunity to buy now for this counter before next Quarter result. Expected more stable earning in next coming CNY & Hari Raya holiday for Q3FY19 & Q4FY19.
