GOOD AFTERNOON TO ALL ARBB 7181 FIGHTERS

ARB active, rises 9% on emergence of US-based Caravan Capital as new substantial shareholder

KUALA LUMPUR (April 29): Interest in shares of Main Market-listed ARB Bhd spiked after a US-based investment firm had yesterday emerged as the company’s new substantial shareholder.

At 9.40am, the counter was up 2.5 sen or 9.09% at 30 sen, giving it a market capitalization of RM88.14 million. Some 37.85 million shares were traded, exceeding its 200-day average volume of 8.61 million shares, making it the fifth most actively traded counter at the time of writing.

Over the past year, the counter has fallen by 43.4% from 53 sen. But since falling to a low of 10.5 sen on March 19, the stock has rebounded 185.71% within a six-week period.

In a filing to Bursa Malaysia yesterday, ARB said US-based investment management firm Caravan Capital Management LLC has emerged as a substantial shareholder after acquiring a 6.3% stake in the information technology (IT) software and platform provider.

Caravan Capital acquired the stake comprising 18.5 million shares on the open market last Friday.

The shares are held through MIRI Strategic Emerging Markets Fund LP (11.26 million shares or a 3.89% stake) and Kenneth Rainin Foundation (7.07 million shares or a 2.41% stake).

For the full year ended Dec 31, 2019 (FY19), ARB’s net profit soared 8.2 times to RM34.77 million, from RM4.23 million in the previous year, while revenue jumped 6.7 times to RM102.64 million, from RM15.26 million.

The higher earnings are attributable to higher revenue from the IT division, in which ARB believes will continue growing and contribute profit to the group.

The major revenue contributors were wholly-owned subsidiaries ARB Development Sdn Bhd and ARBIOT Sdn Bhd, which are both principally involved in the business of reselling customized enterprise resource planning (ERP) software system, and Internet of Things, Internet and Multimedia development, and consultancy services

Apart from its IT-related businesses, ARB is also involved in the manufacturing of wood products. However, the group's timber segment temporarily ceased operations in the third quarter of FY19, ahead of an expected resumption in December 2019.

Under its segment breakdown analysis for FY19, the manufacturing in wood products did not generate any revenue for the year and saw a net loss of RM1.64 million.

How Does ARB Berhad’s P/E Compare To Its Industry, After Its Big Share Price Gain?

ARB Berhad shares have had a really impressive month, gaining 119%, after some slippage. But shareholders may not all be feeling jubilant, since the share price is still down 44% in the last year.

Assuming no other changes, a sharply higher share price makes a stock less attractive to potential buyers. In the long term, share prices tend to follow earnings per share, but in the short term prices bounce around in response to short term factors (which are not always obvious). So some would prefer to hold off buying when there is a lot of optimism towards a stock. One way to gauge market expectations of a stock is to look at its Price to Earnings Ratio (PE Ratio). A high P/E implies that investors have high expectations of what a company can achieve compared to a company with a low P/E ratio.

How Does ARB Berhad’s P/E Ratio Compare To Its Peers?
ARB Berhad’s P/E of 2.57 indicates relatively low sentiment towards the stock. We can see that the average P/E (19.5) for companies in the it industry is higher than ARB Berhad’s P/E.

Its relatively low P/E ratio indicates that ARB Berhad shareholders think it will struggle to do as well as other companies in its industry classification. Since the market seems impressed with ARB Berhad, it’s quite possible it could surprise on the upside. It is arguably worth checking if insiders are buying shares, because that might imply they believe the stock is undervalued.

How Growth Rates Impact P/E Ratios
Earnings growth rates have a big influence on P/E ratios. That’s because companies that grow earnings per share quickly will rapidly increase the ‘E’ in the equation. Therefore, even if you pay a high multiple of earnings now, that multiple will become lower in the future. So while a stock may look expensive based on past earnings, it could be cheap based on future earnings.

ARB Berhad’s 82% EPS improvement over the last year was like bamboo growth after rain; rapid and impressive.

A Limitation: P/E Ratios Ignore Debt and Cash In The Bank
One drawback of using a P/E ratio is that it considers market capitalization, but not the balance sheet. Thus, the metric does not reflect cash or debt held by the company. Theoretically, a business can improve its earnings (and produce a lower P/E in the future) by investing in growth. That means taking on debt (or spending its cash).

Such spending might be good or bad, overall, but the key point here is that you need to look at debt to understand the P/E ratio in context.

So What Does ARB Berhad’s Balance Sheet Tell Us?
With net cash of RM43m, ARB Berhad has a very strong balance sheet, which may be important for its business. Having said that, at 49% of its market capitalization the cash hoard would contribute towards a higher P/E ratio.

The Verdict On ARB Berhad’s P/E Ratio
ARB Berhad has a P/E of 2.6. That’s below the average in the MY market, which is 12.5. Not only should the net cash position reduce risk, but the recent growth has been impressive. The relatively low P/E ratio implies the market is pessimistic. What is very clear is that the market has become less pessimistic about ARB Berhad over the last month, with the P/E ratio rising from 1.2 back then to 2.6 today. For those who like to invest in turnarounds, that might mean it’s time to put the stock on a watchlist, or research it. But others might consider the opportunity to have passed.

Investors should be looking to buy stocks that the market is wrong about. As value investor Benjamin Graham famously said, ‘In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run, it is a weighing machine. Although we don’t have analyst forecasts you could get a better understanding of its growth by checking out this more detailed historical earnings, revenue and cash flow.

But note: ARB Berhad is one of the best stock to buy.

PKR didn't sack you, you left , Fahmi reminds Santhara

Posted by MoneyMaker168 > 2020-05-04 11:37 | Report Abuse

PKR did not sack Edmund Santhara on his birthday on April 3, said party communications director Fahmi Fadzil.

He instead left the party earlier on Feb 24, said Fahmi

In a posting on his official Twitter account this morning, the Lembah Pantai MP dismissed the claim by the deputy federal territories minister Santhara that party president Anwar Ibrahim handed a dismissal letter to him (Santhara) on the day

PKR secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail claims that the party is in the process of collecting the RM10mil in penalty imposed against anyone abandoning the party.

He said the matter is being dealt with by the PKR treasurer.

“We are in the process of getting those who defected to pay up," Saifuddin told reporters after a farewell do at the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry, where he has served as minister for 21 months.

In 2018, all PKR candidates for the 14th General Election signed a legal document to prevent them from defecting to another party.

The signing of the legal document, which will see elected representatives fined RM10mil should they defect to another party - has been a practice within PKR.

Among those who may have to pay up is Johor’s Pemanis assemblyman Dr Chong Fat Full, who announced his exit from PKR and stated his allegiance to the new state coalition government.

He was among 10 state exco members, who were sworn before the Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar earlier on Friday (March 6).

Several PKR lawmakers, who left the party after its deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin Ali and vice-president Zuraida Kamaruddin were sacked, may also have to pay the RM10mil penalty.

Saifuddin, who is also Pakatan Harapan secretary-general, said it was not game over for the coalition.

“We have a few things in our line-up, which we will announce from time to time, ” he said

Asked if this included bringing up the motion of no-confidence against the Prime Minister in the Parliament, Saifuddin replied in the affirmative.
