Broader market remains weak, US fall 530 points & Europe all entered into correction. Maybe we should collect at a lower price, say RM1. The directors keep selling at RM1.69, now already RM1.51, not much profit left + market sentiment not good.
The current tax rate for FLBHD is very low due to the "Expenses eligible for double deduction tax incentives". Do you guys know what is this about? When will this tax incentivie going to expire?
If you look at income statement, expenses are deducted from gross profit to arrive at PBT. However, when comes to tax comp. certain expenses are not allowable and therefore they need to add back to arrive the adjusted income. For this double deduction, it simply means these expenses are not only allowable but it can further deduct one time. That means company is paying lesser tax. Hope this can help you.
Minchyau82, double deduction around 3million. Without this incentive, the deduction should be around 1.5million? If the business continue to grow, it should be able to offset the impact.
eps last q = 7.8c, possible full year eps 7.8 x 4 = 31.2c. giving pe 10x, expected price = rm3.12 very very rough estimate..not counting net cash 85m ie rm0.83 per share.
the latest Q earnings has spillover from Q1 earnings. Therefore, I would say annualised earning should be around 20 sen. With that, PE of 10 will give a TP of RM2. My view only :)
in actual fact, no matter how details you make valuation, its still not perfact.. because when you make valuation, you make assumption event happen in future...most important the company is making good profit with positive cashflow and the share price is at reasonable level. note: i personally hold this share.
Focus Lumber (Fundamental: 1.95/3, Valuation: 2.4/3) was first featured as InsiderAsia’s Stock of the Day on December 11, 2014 at RM1.04. The stock has since risen 67.0% to close at a one-year high of RM1.74 yesterday.
The Sabah-based manufacturer of plywood, veneer and laminated veneer lumber is a beneficiary of the weaker ringgit. Year-to-date, the ringgit has depreciated by 19.3% against the US dollar. The company derived over 97% of its sales from export markets — 66.4% of which went to the US.
For 1H2015, net profit expanded by an outsized 48.7% to RM11.4 million on the back of a 6.8% increase in revenue to RM80.2 million. The increase was mainly attributed to increased sales volume as well as higher average selling price and profit margin from the stronger US dollar.
Focus Lumber has been steadily growing for the past four years. Its key differentiating strength is its focus on obtaining US environmental and quality accreditation and certification for its products, in order to penetrate the US market better. It was accredited as a CARB Certified Manufacturer in 2008 and a certified Lacey Compliant Wood Products Manufacturer in 2013.
The company is backed by a debt-free balance sheet, with net cash totalling RM84.9 million at end-June, up from RM36.4 million in 2011. This translates to net cash per share of 82 sen, or almost 50% of its market capitalisation.
Dividends have also been on an uptrend, rising from 6 sen per share in 2011-2012 to 8 sen per share in 2013-2014, which translates to an attractive yield of 4.8%. For 2015, Focus Lumber has paid an interim dividend of 5 sen per share in August.
The stock trades at a trailing 12-month P/E of 8.62 times and 1.20 times book.
