Johore Tin will probably record a huge loss in the next quarterly report as it will show how they performed during MCO, a loss is to be expected, since their business is highly dependent on logistics, and logistics was restricted heavily during MCO.
I was also sure they would cut their dividends, which they did, which resulted in a massive sell-off.
But, despite knowing all that, the major shareholders and upper management kept buying more shares instead of selling off their holdings and buying back when market is stable. This gives me absolute confidence in the management.
They treat Johore Tin as an investment holding company first instead of treating it as a cannery or consumer goods company. And they were loaded up with cash and low debt before even MCO began, which means they are in the perfect position to leverage cheap interest rate loans. With a lot of cash in hand, little debt, and the designation investment holding company makes me believe they have enough capital and room to take on cheap loans to venture into new markets/industries as asset prices are cheap at the moment.
Their Price to Book ratio is amazing as well this quarter, if they even have to go bankrupt (which is borderline impossible at the moment), shareholders will still be somewhat well-compensated. So the downside is well protected.
As of the time of writing, Johotin's market cap is around 447 million, I believe the company has the potential to grow to a billion dollar company, especially when you keep in mind, a crisis is when companies have the opportunity to expand in size and operations. Primarily because they are well positioned to face this Covid crisis.
And finally, I would urge shareholders to take a look at December 2017's quarterly reports and December 2018's quarterly reports. It only took them a year to make a comeback. Also, note that their revenue is usually lower in the first quarter but slowly increases in each quarter (This seems to be a consistent pattern for the most part). However, I must say I depend more on annual performance than quarterly performance as any and all businesses are somewhat cyclical.
share buyback is a good thing. it could mean that the company think the curent share price is undervalue. Another possible reason is the company trying to hold share price But anyone know why it keep dropping?
Last quarter they reported a lower profit due to : 1. COVID 19 2. MCO restricted the production as workforce was reduced by 50%. 3. Their orders were reduced because of MCO and poor demand.
Most likely their profit will increase within next quarter as the country has slowly opened up and order books are being filled. If you attend their last AGM they announced this. Recent insider buying also means that something is coming. Its going to break out soon like KAWAN.
sammofee,dont compare johotin (Apple)with Kawan (orange),you need to compare with can one.Look like you attend AGM,what interesting news,did they disclose purpose of land acquisition?when to start construction?
bought 1.30 and will continue collect all the way down, qtr rpt will be bad due to mco, expect price to continue drop at 1.10~1.20, then will jump back once market price factored in the downside

About 20 shareholders and proxies attended yesterday’s AGM. Generally positive outlook going forward from the management. Almost back to pre MCO demand in terms or order. At the moment got 1.5 months of order backlog which is a good indicator. Ramping up production now.
Mexico plant’s commissioning is still impacted by Covid-19 pandemic travel restrictions. Progress is dependent on lifting of border closure. However once the plant is operational say next year, the venture should provide another leg of growth to Johotin’s bottom line. A big market for the Hispanic , and Asian community in North America.
The 29 acres Kapar land purchase will stand Johotin for the next leg of multi year expansion. A good buy should it comes to fruition. The management is planning to consolidate all Selangor plants at the new site in stages. There are plans for the new dairy production lines.
The Mexico plants has been delaying quite long, why still no shareholders screw the management? why still accept the management keep giving many excuses on this ? Imagine if you continue delay your works at company, continue give many excuses, what will your manager look at you? Is your manager still smile to you or screw you ?
@investortrader88 thanks for sharing. Yeah JOHOTIN has good track records. I'm sitting on paper loss of close to 10% but I'm holding nonetheless. Investing for long term (I'm a dividend seeker)
