What Happened to Bonia - CIMB Bonia has proposed to undertake a one-for-one bonus issue and subsequently a one-into-two share split exercise. The proposed bonus issue entails an issuance of up to 201,571,850 shares, and upon the completion of the exercise, the issued and paid up share capital of the company will be up to RM201,571,850 comprising 403,143,700 shares. It will be affected by way of capitalisation of up to RM100.79m of the company’s share premium and retained earnings. Meanwhile, the share split entails the subdivision of every one Bonia share into two subdivided shares, which upon completion will increase the number of ordinary shares of the company to 806,287,400 shares. The proposals are expected to be completed by 3QCY14. What We Think We are highly positive on the proposals. We expect the stock’s liquidity and marketability to be significantly boosted upon completion of the exercise. Theoretically, the proposals will quadruple the number of existing Bonia shares, while the share price should be adjusted and trade at 25% of the existing price upon completion of the exercise. We believe the increased number of shares and the relatively more affordable share price would generate more interest among investors towards the company, especially among retail investors. Consequently, this would boost the trading volume of the shares from its current level, which we believe will lead to a higher valuation for the shares. What You Should Do Accumulate the stock now. We believe the stock is trading at a massive discount from its intrinsic value, which in part is due to the low liquidity of the stock currently. The proposed exercise would address the issue significantly, and we expect it to help the share price move closer to our target price.
I didn't say it was wrong. I just felt uncomfortable by this price call, if you think it is a realistic price target (either it is reached before the stock split or 2 years after the stock split) then I wish you good luck. But my previous experience in stock market taught me to believe in my own judgement instead of following the TP.
We opine that valuations are justifiable and attractive as BON is one of the cheapest consumer stocks in Malaysia with robust earnings potential and strong brand visibility, as well as BON’s monopolistic position in the operating market of leather products.
Maintain ADD but lift our price target to RM5.45/share Overall, we remain positive on Bonia. While we maiantain our FY14-16 EPS forecast, we have however raise our price target from RM4.00 to RM5.45 (ex-all RM1.36), as we: 1) roll over our valution horizon to CY15 EPS; and 2) raise our target multiple from 13x to 15x. We peg the stock at a higher target multiple in view of the corporate exercise which would definitely boost the stock’s liquidity. We reckon that Bonia’s low liquidity has been an impediment for investors’ seeking to invest in the stock (average 6 month volume, 120,000 shares). With an upside potential of 11%, we maintain our ADD recommendation on Bonia. Key risk to our view is a sharp slowdown in regional consumer spending.
Lol at all you jelly people who laugh at CIMB's TP. Please do read up on Bonia's business, investors and expansion plans before you all even try to comment here. Obviously the 8.11 tp is not something which occurs overnight, it can take years or even as quick as a year but obviously wealth is built in time and yes Bonia's current price is still cheap and the product sales are doing very well. Just wait for their Y-to-Y results end of this month and you will know. Most of you ah bengs only care about short term gains and you all do not think like investors. You don't think it will hit RM8? Then gtfo out of here and sell you stock now to people like me who will accumulate even more because it is still cheap. Bloody ah bengs.
lol talk nonsense. bonia got presence in Thailand meh? Mostly Malaysia, Singapore and now growing in Indonesia la sohai. This is someone selling a lot, normal market fluctuations la. Later go up again chill
Bonus issue and share split to boost liquidity We anticipate Bonia’s proposed one-for-one bonus issue and subsequently a one-into-two share split exercise, which are expected to be completed by 3QCY14, to significantly boost the stock’s trading liquidity and marketability upon completion. Theoretically, the proposals will quadruple the number of existing Bonia shares, and the share price should be adjusted and trade at 25% of the pre-exercise price. We believe the increased number of shares and the relatively more affordable share price would generate more interest among investors towards the company, especially among retail investors, and lead to a higher valuation for the stock, helping it to move closer to our target price.
Bonia’s 9MFY14 earnings jumped 28.1% yoy on the back of a 10.1% yoy revenue growth. The sales growth was mainly driven by Jeco and other licensed brands, contributing 30.0% and 20.1%, respectively, to total increase in revenue. Jeco sales were lifted by stronger exports to Indonesia and boutique sales in Singapore and Malaysia, while the opening of Renoma and Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club boutiques contributed to the licensed brands’ revenue growth. Geographically, Bonia’s expansion into Indonesian and Vietnam continues to bear fruit, with sales from these two countries contributing 11% and 9% of respectively to the group’s total increase in revenue.
Growth story continues Bonia’s 9MFY14 net profit was in line with expectations, accounting for 75% of our and 72% of consensus full-year forecasts. Better sales from Jeco, and growth in Indonesia and Vietnam contributed positively to overall group earnings. We make no changes to our EPS forecasts and reiterate our Add recommendation and target price, based on 19.3x CY15 P/E, applying a 20% premium to our target market P/E of 16.1x in view of Bonia’s much higher projected growth rate.
