Cepat's final quarterly earnings should be in the region of 2 to 3 sen a share, translating into full year earnings of around 13 to 14 sen a share. It is thus trading at a prospective PE of around 5.5
As value investors, you have been told that the market is not always efficient. You look for underprice companies to invest in anticipation that the market would eventually be rational and re-rate them.
Unfortunately, my 20 years’ experience is that my average holding period is 6 to 8 years. I was told that to shorten the waiting period, I should look for catalysts.
One of the catalysts I now look for is the price vs ROE trend discrepancy. This is exemplified by Cepatwawasan, a Bursa Malaysia plantation company. Its past 10 years ROE lie in between my 2 reference Bursa plantation companies – BPlant and KLK.
But look at the price vs ROE trend. Historically prices seem to move in tandem with the ROE but recently the price has been flat while the ROE dropped.
So, if a fundamental analysis shows that the drop in ROE is temporary, it would be an investment opportunity. But this fundamental analysis is a story for another day.
Almost all the plantation counters that have released their financial results have reported substantially less quarterly earnings. I don't think Cepat could be an exception.
PUTRAJAYA : Two former directors of CepatWawasan Group Bhd were given three months from Friday to repay the company RM13 million used to illegally pay Opti Temasek Sdn Bhd, an action in breach of the financial assistance provisions of Bursa Malaysia's listing requirements.
Failure by Tengku Datuk Kamal Sir Sultan Abu Bakar and Lt Col Tengku Datuk Kamarul Zaman Sir Sultan Abu Bakar to do so would put the brothers in contempt of the court order and makes them liable to five years in jail.
This comes after the Federal Court bench had unanimously dismissed their appeal to set aside the committal proceedings.
Beside SOP, TAANN and SWKPLNT above RM2, Jtiasa coming to break and join RM2 which the most gem now...TSH PE 16.73 for RM1.15.
But there are some laggard, KRETAM PE 12.89 but only 59.5cent which is super undervalue and CEPAT 12.26 for 78.5cent. Worth to consider since CPO is above 4100 now.
