10 years after acquiring MSM from PPB, this company is going down the drain even in a monopoly business. With the same type of management as FGV, this is not a surprise at all. Time always tell the truth. Maintained fair price at 1.25
Why administration fees up from 10.9mil to 21.5mil and finance cost up from 5mil to 22mil? Gross profit 43mil still can loss money? How can these idiots take high pay but do nothing good to company? Brainless management team.

The 4Q18 result just show how difficult the business environment for MSM has become. With the government committed to end any monopolistic business, MSM’s shareholder will need to be ready to see more competition for its sugar products in the near future especially from the import markets. The new sugar tax which starts in April this year will only make it worst for MSM with expected demand from high volume purchasers to see significant decline due to potential lower demand from end consumer. The higher depreciation charge and finance cost from the new plant in Tanjung Langsat will only reduce the bottom line even further as the company will find it difficult to operate the new plant at the optimum production rate.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 6.5x PE based on FY18 profit of RM166mil. PB is low at only 0.7x BV.
FY19 should deliver another profit growth year to the company. Profit growth will again be driven by the performance of Perodua (via MBMR 22.6% holdings in Perodua) from the still strong sales of new Myvi, sales of SUV Aruz and the introduction of the newly revamp Alza sometime in the 2H19. Aruz which commands a higher margin compared to other models will help improve the total profit margin of Perodua (which will flow to MBMR’s bottom line as well).
Given the very good result in 4Q18, the company is expected to achieve a profit of RM200mil for the full year of 2019. At the current share price, the company is being valued at a very low PE of only 5.4x which is a lot lower than the industry average of 15x PE. As an example, UMW (another company with exposure to Perodua) is currently trading at a PE multiple of almost 20x.
No hope for MSM. If in monopoly state already keep declaring business is difficult. Now when the market is open for import. MSM will no longer be relevant. Sell
