Its not about how cheap is the stock price, its more about how the owners and management is going to do to springboard the business to another growth level. Stagnating for many years, owners are from the prominent legal profession industry, not sure they are going to do anything to bring it up. Confectionery industry is a very lucrative industry, its just how they are going to develop it up... look at the hongkies, simple 1 product can conquer the industry. So unless Hwa Tai is to come up with some great food technology division and innovate, it will slowly lose its shine.
The company has never been able to deliver any meaningful profit to its shareholder for the past 10 financial years with the highest profit achieved back in FY09 at a profit of RM2mil. For 9m18 the company only managed to record a loss of RM1.6mil to its shareholders. 4Q18 would most probably be another loss quarter for the group.
Even if the company managed to deliver a profit of RM2mil (highest in 10 years) for FY19, at the current price, it would already be valued at around 13x PE. At this valuation, investors would normally expect the company to consistently deliver a similar profit level through out the years which is very unlikely for this company. Based on its 10 years performance, achieving a RM1mil profit is already a very tall order for them (at this profit level company valuation jumps up to 26x PE which is normally what the high growth stocks are trading).
If you are looking to diversify your portfolio outside of Hwa Tai (due to its earnings uncertainties), I would recommend you to look at MBMR.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 6.9x PE (based on target FY18 profit of RM145mil. 9m profit is already RM106mil). PB is low at only 0.7x BV. 4Q18 results is expected to be higher than 3Q18 and last year's 4Q17.
FY19 growth will be driven by the still high demand of the new Myvi and the newly launched SUV Aruz and also the newly revamp Alza in 2H19. The recent announcement of closure and potential disposal of the loss-making alloy wheel manufacturing business alone is expected to boost the company’s profit by an additional RM20mil. I am projecting a profit to shareholder of RM170 mil for FY19 which at the current price values MBMR at only 5.9x PE.
Please go through the analyst reports (https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/pt/5983.jsp) and do your own analysis before making any decisions. There are 8 analysts in total covering the stock with most of them having a TP of above RM3 (all have a buy rating). The average TP for the 8 analysts is around RM3.50.
if so bodoh tak tahu pakai duit tu, return it to shareholders lah hahaha
MULTIPLE PROPOSALS HWA TAI INDUSTRIES BERHAD (HWA TAI OR THE COMPANY) - VARIATION OF AND EXTENSION OF TIME FRAME FOR THE UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS RAISED FROM THE RIGHTS ISSUE
HWA TAI INDUSTRIES BERHAD
Type Announcement Subject MULTIPLE PROPOSALS
Description HWA TAI INDUSTRIES BERHAD (HWA TAI OR THE COMPANY) - VARIATION OF AND EXTENSION OF TIME FRAME FOR THE UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS RAISED FROM THE RIGHTS ISSUE
Unless otherwise stated, all definitions and terms used shall have the same meanings as defined in Hwa Tai’s announcements dated 24 April 2014, 12 May 2014, 28 May 2014, 18 June 2014, 5 December 2014, 15 December 2014, 5 January 2015, 14 January 2015, 13 March 2015, 7 April 2015 and 14 April 2015 (“Proposal Announcements”), the circular dated 10 October 2014 (“Circular”) and the abridged prospectus dated 16 March 2015 (“AP”) in relation to the Rights Issue and the announcements dated 6 April 2018 and 10 April 2018 in relation to the 1st extension of time (“1st EOT Announcements”).
1. INTRODUCTION
The Board of Directors of Hwa Tai (“Board”) wishes to announce that the Company intends to vary and extend the time frame for the utilisation of the balance of proceeds raised from the Rights Issue amounting to RM7.0 million which was initially earmarked for capital expenses for business expansion.
The Company had raised total proceeds of RM13,916,000 from the Rights Issue which was completed on 14 April 2015. The initial time frame for utilising the proceeds for capital expenses for business expansion was within 36 months from the Rights Issue completion date and was subsequently extended for another 12 months period until 13 April 2019 (“1st Revised Time Frame”), to provide additional time for the Group to negotiate the terms of purchase and/or source for alternative suppliers for the new hybrid biscuit line, as detailed in the 1st EOT Announcements.
2. DETAILS OF THE VARIATION AND EXTENSION
The proceeds raised from the Rights Issue was initially earmarked for capital expenses for business expansion which entails the establishment of a new hybrid biscuit line that would have multiple purpose production line, faster baking time, uniform baking process, lower energy consumption and facilitate the production of a variation of products, as mentioned in the Circular and AP. The Company intends to vary the type of biscuit line to be purchased from a hybrid biscuit line to an indirect fire convection (IFC) biscuit line due to the circumstances as disclosed in the rationale section of this announcement.
In general a hybrid biscuit line comprises oven which combines direct heating system and indirect heating system to create more heat in oven and is able to produce crackers and cookies whereas an IFC biscuit line is a type of indirect heating system which has less heat energy but efficient in moisture removal and can only produce cookies. The purchase cost of an IFC biscuit line is less expensive than a hybrid biscuit line. In addition, an IFC biscuit line has less energy consumption as compared to a hybrid biscuit line. An IFC biscuit line is also easier to maintain than a hybrid biscuit line due to its component structure and will therefore, incur less maintenance cost.
The Company has met with several overseas suppliers of biscuit lines who have provided the Company with their quotations. The Company intends to select the final supplier by mid April 2019.
Premised on the above and that the 1st Revised Time Frame is expiring on 13 April 2019, the Board has resolved to extend the utilisation of the proceeds for another 12 months period until 13 April 2020 (“2nd Revised Time Frame”) in view of the timeframe for the completion and commissioning of the IFC biscuit line.
As at the date of this announcement the utilisation of proceeds and details of the 2nd Revised Time Frame are as set out in the table below:

Management team, led by CEO Rodney Wong, personnel and business operating system retained
Munchy Food Industries Sdn Bhd ("MFI") and CVC Capital Partners Asia Fund IV ("CVC Asia IV") today announced that CVC Asia IV has acquired a 100% stake in MFI and its Malaysian subsidiary Munchworld Marketing Sdn Bhd. The acquisition was completed on 8 June 2018. Prior to the acquisition, MFI was 70% held by Double-V Series Sdn Bhd, the holding company owned by the founders of MFI, while fund investor TAP Crunch Sdn Bhd held the remaining 30% stake.
Following the change in ownership, the management team, personnel and business operating system have been fully retained, and are led by Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") Rodney Wong, who has been with the Group since 2014, together with Chief Operating Officer ("COO") Rajan Pillai, who joined the Group in 2012.

Its products include Munchy's, Oat Krunch, Lexus, Muzic and Choc-O. According to Nielsen, Munchy's had a 21.5% share of Peninsular Malaysia's RM1.044 billion biscuit market in 20171.
Mr LK Tan, co-founder of MFI, said: "As a homegrown Malaysian brand, the Munchy team is proud that our hard work and product innovation over 25 years has enabled us to grow into the regional business we are today. There were many offers from potential investors in the past, but CVC's vision for the brand aligned extremely well with our identity. Their global network and experience will be invaluable in growing the Munchy's brand into a global name – with new markets, new technology and new innovations. We are excited to see CVC take the Munchy story into the next phase, becoming a global powerhouse."
Mr Alvin Lim, Managing Director at CVC Capital Partners, added: "This is an exciting opportunity to invest in a leading player with a consistent track record of growth and a highly cash-generative business. Over the years, MFI has built an exceptional platform with proven scalability to meet the demands of the company's growing consumer base. We look forward to working with MFI's management team to help them achieve their strategic plan of driving value over the next few years to further grow the company."
