Leverage Success Sdn Bhd a company controlled by the company's director which in turns control 38.04% of Cocoaland Berhad and Frazer & Neave Holding Bhd. controls 27.19, this shows that the management holds substantial interest in the company and with F&N as second largest shareholder it will definitely brings strategic synergy to Cocoaland because F&N being in the consumer industry itself will not simply invest its money for the sake of capital appreciation or dividend income.The effect of this synergy can been seen in the development and improvement of Cocoaland's business over the years

Cocoaland Bhd is on its way toward a steady and consistent growth. Cocoland is suitable for investor with a long term horizon (more than 1 year) not for those who seek instant gratification on their stock picks.

Wow
In May 2015, Navis Asia VII Management Co Ltd
offered to take over Cocoaland for RM378 Million or rm1. 65 per share. It was rejected by Cocoaland.

Then in June 2015, First Pacific Co Ltd (HK-listed) offered to take over for rm494 million or rm2.16 per shares. It later aborted the offer.

Now 2019, what would be the offer price if someone comes along to take over Cocoaland?

RM3. 20?
It is still too cheap, I think. LOL

FY19 will see another phase of expansion for Cocoaland. This is for the company's GUMMIES!
Capex committed as reported in this QR is about RM 12.8M, total projected is rm 56.1m. The Capex for the new Gummy line is RM42 M.

The revenue and profit will be elevated to another level. Could expect the share price will move in tandem. Stay invested.

Below are copy and paste from FY17 Annual Report.

"In addition to its expanding higher quality products
in particular to cater for the sales growth in gummies,
Cocoaland expects to commence a new gummy line
project towards the second half of 2018 located in
Rawang with expected capital expenditure projected
at RM42.0 million. Cocoaland is also working
towards to expand its gummy products in terms of
new flavours and healthier ingredients to cater for
demand in both local and overseas markets.
Cocoaland has projected a RM56.1 million capital
expenditure for FY2018 which is mainly for acquisition
of plant and machinery and factory equipment. The
aim is to upgrade and expand its facilities to further
increase production capacity as well as capability
in producing higher quality products to meet the
growing demand towards naturally healthy foods
and beverages. With the rising labour cost and
production overheads, Cocoaland is exploring new
ways to further enhance automation and workforce
development in its operational and manufacturing
processes to improve operational efficiencies. This
in turn helps to reduce the reliance of labour force.
Cocoaland is aiming for increasing cost-saving
measures and higher productivity in FY2018.
There will be about of US$10.0 million or RM39.0
million for use in the event of merger and acquisition
opportunities. The Group is targeting manufacturers
and distributors in Asian countries."

Maintain BUY with unchanged TP of MYR2.70. Our TP is derived from an unchanged target 18x P/E (+1.5SD from its 5-year mean), based on 2019F’s earnings. We like Cocoaland given resilient demand for its gummy products, generous dividend payouts backed by a sturdy balance sheet, healthy cash flow generation, and proven track record. Strong brand equity in both the domestic and overseas markets should also ensure sustainability of its future earnings.

Posted by uptrending > 2019-05-23 16:58 | Report Abuse

Still BUY and MYR2.70 TP, 43% expected total returns. Cocoaland’s 1Q19 earnings were within expectations – they were down mainly on higher marketing expenses. Demand for its gummy and hard candy products stayed resilient, though. Cost optimisation initiatives saw some results: lower employee costs. We continue to like the stock, given its sustainable earnings on robust gummy products demand, supported by a proven track record and strong brand equity.
No surprises. Cocoaland’s 1Q19 results were within our and consensus expectations, with earnings of MYR8.4m (-1.8% YoY, -12.6% QoQ) that accounted for 25% and 27% of full-year forecasts. The lower earnings were mainly attributed to higher marketing expenses and decreased other income, netting off increased revenue of MYR65.6m (+1.9% YoY, +7% QoQ). No dividend was declared.
Cost optimisation bearing fruit. The manufacturing segment’s performance improved, reporting 1Q19 PBT of MYR4m (1Q18: MYR83,000 LBT) – thanks to a better product mix and lower employee costs. However, Cocoaland continued to feel the impact of sluggish demand for beverage products, dragging revenue down 9.2% YoY (-0.02% QoQ) to MYR16.9m – this offset growing demand for gummy and hard candy products.
Marketing expenses a drag. The trading unit registered higher revenue of MYR48.7m (+6.3% YoY, +9.7% QoQ), as demand for gummy, snacks, and coco-pie products grew. However, higher marketing expenses from exhibition and promotional activities dragged PBT down to MYR6.5m (-52.7% YoY, +5.3% QoQ). We also note that this unit’s PBT margin dropped 12ppts when compared to 1Q18’s numbers.
Key risks and forecasts. Downside risks to our recommendation and earnings forecasts include sharp rises in raw material costs and weaker consumer sentiment. A strengthening of the MYR against the USD should also negatively affect Cocoaland’s earnings. We make no changes to our forecasts.
We keep our call on the stock, as we expect resilient demand for the company’s gummy products on strong brand equity to continue support earnings. We like Cocoaland for its generous dividend payouts (translating into prospective yields of 5%), backed by a sturdy balance sheet and healthy cash flow generation. There is no change to our TP, with total expected returns of 43% – this based on 2019F earnings of an unchanged 18x target P/E, +1.5SD from its 5-year mean.
