Good article by Tan KW, Firebird2. The share price has dropped quite a bit from RM4. 67 sens and > 15%. The question is "Is it time to pick up the falling knife?".
Maybe it is not quite laying on the floor, I see this as a golden opportunity to buy as it is not a case of deteriorating in fundamental value. In fact, the weakening Ringgit & rubber prices still pose as a very strong tail wind to boost its earning.
I am accumulating more at current level, Ipoh boys have BIG heart and appetite. Lol
honeydream, hang on there. Don't worry, it will soon get back to the level where it belongs. Next months? AGM, EGM and next Q results & dividend?
Read Tan KW article and I agree that the PE is high.
Improving the profit margin alone is not enough. They have to raise the earning by increasing turnover. This is exactly what they planned to do by having the 3rd factory.
They paid out all the earning in dividend because there were no better use of the money in hand. This resulted in high ROE and dividend yield. The shareholders like it and willing to pay a premium for the share resulting in high PE.
They plan to borrow prudently and confident that future incomes will be higher than the on going low interest rate. Nothing wrong with it!
If they decided to have a lower dividen pay-out rate, so be it! The short term pain will only argue well for the long term.
What else can we ask for from the management? I am going to take a joylly ride on this air-cont coach well into the future. Ha ha ha Zzzzzzzzz.....
This is very similar to Superlon but a much more proven Horse
There may be ups and downs in the revenue due to problems in different parts of the world, but Wellcal still delivers decent result, this shows the business is resilent. With the expanded capacity, revenue will increase.
With the expanded capacity, it will enter into a new era, a new ball game. They might have to do something differently in term of marketing and production.
They already have amber time to think about that in the coming 15 months
speakup, the only similarity between wellcall & Zhulian is high Quarterly dividend pay-out. They are very different in marketing, product line, location of factory stc.stc....
you are comparing apples and oranges. wellcall is not even in the same industry/peer group as zhulian. they both have low/no debt, true but what does a MLM company and rubber hose manufacturer have in common???
low NTA doesn't worry me too much. Calsberg only have a NTA of 80 sens. We are more concern with its earning power.
Wellcall has taken full depreciation of its two old factory. They have zero value in the book. If wellcall is not going under, the assets will not be distributed to its shareholders as the only thing leftover.
Benjamin might not like it but I am sure Warren love this stock.Lol
arv18, good question. I remember during my last factory visit, the mangement review to me that they demand 50% cash up front from the oversea buyer during order. Cannot remeber whether it is COD.
BTW, one of its strength is low inventory as well. They don't need a warehouse for the finished good. They manange to ship out promptly.
They are sitting on RM46mil cash. Most of the 63 sens NTA is cash.
dan. I find that one of the most impressive features of wellcall. great receivables management. I used to work at one time for a international conference company and we would only provide services with payment upfront. its amazing how much of a difference it makes with regards to cashflow etc. it seems malaysian companies could take a page out of wellcall's book in this regard. understandably not everyone has such luxury (companies providing very expensive capital goods etc).
Although I said jokingly that Warren love this counter, the fact is I do think he will because Wellcall has a FRANCHISE. Only company with FANCHISE can demand good payment.
Share split ex date is confirmed onn 21/3/14. First interim dividend is 5c. If they pay 20c a year instead of 16c dividend then at current price 3.82, it will be 5.2%
Hi Firebird, results & dividend are in line with expectation. No surprises which is good. I am confident that 5 sens/Q or 2 sens/Q (after Ex Split) is sustainable until factory 3 is ready. The real growth will come after the expansion.
According to my source, The AGM was crowded this year. More investors are looking at this company now and the management is watching this forum also. Ha ha
Bring the AGM to Ipoh! We have a lot of space here!
Gmorn Dan, I believe 5c/Q and 2c/Q after split can be expected. Wellcal has been generous on dividends. I didn't attend the AGM due to some urgent matters. Its good that you and I will always look at investing in companies that are actively seeking growth. When the factory is ready, we will benefit more
I agree with the management that share buy back is a waste of time. They are debt free and holding sufficient cash as working capital and for capex. Manageable borrowing will push up the ROE also especially when cost of fund is still low. Returning the earning to shareholders in the form of dividend is great. Let the shareholders have their say on how to use it. Use it to buy more shares in the company if you like it. Low amount of idling cash in the company also boost up the ROE. The latest annoual report also shows a steady growth in ROE in the mid 20+ average.
Management also indicated that piling will start in May or June. Credit to the management for spending more time in the planning rather than to rush into it. They are fully aware of the important of this phase of expansion to take the company to a new level.
Next year we shall see more Rev coming in due to their expanded production. Hopefully raw materials and forex rates are just as favourable. And from 1.50 roughly then, it should move higher.
Realistically the contribution from the expansion will not roll in until the last Q of 2015. Investing is just like any other business proposition. It need time to mature and patience is the essence.
My thinking is I will keep collecting 2c/Q for 6-8 Q in the meantime. That is not a bad deal because at 3.80 or (1.52 after split) the yield is still 5.26%.
Same thought here. Am lining up funds and keeping reserves. Patience is the key here. Just wait for a pullback. Next year, its production capacity would increase by 50%. Nowadays its hard to find such companies. Its earnings are quite stable, and the price doesn't fluctuation that much. But be wary too if its price goes too high
Wellcall is my favourite share =) I smile everytime I think of it, with a strong franchising power, selling rubber hose to factories all over the world, wonderful dividend payout, prudent management. I like it when the MD doesn't speak during AGMs and allow results to show for themselves. 3rd factory on the way while dividend continues to row in every 3 months.
GLAD to be part of this company & will hope for many more years of good profit/dividend.
Thank you management of WELLCALL =)
Will the share price be suppressed due to the split? Rm1.40-1.50??
Abundance, you need to read further up on this thread, frens and bros here have join in and provided the dates and happenings of Wellcal in more details. Hope you will join us. Thx
Split is effective today.. Noob, I love Wellcall for the same reason.. Wellcall is split at RM3.70 range, and should be around RM1.50... But it is climbing higher now..
