Very enticing to investor to invest, in prospectus say going to give 50% of Profit to investor as dividend. Newbie saw this mesti beli. Tapi before can give, share holder must approve, bukannya jatuh dari langit :D
@redhotpepper, interim 3% so let's hope they will declare on each quarter. Not bad for a counter below 0.80 sen. I will keep as my EP is around 0.63 sen.
US inflation rate has reached it peaks in Jun 2022 and starts decreasing until now. Fed may relax it int rate hikes soon. Recessions will not be materialised.. Starts collecting
1.Seng Fong never has a good day since its listing. Its share price has been loitering below IPO price for a prolonged and frustrating period. Today it has awaken and opened with a 2 sen gap up. It has attracted considerably huge buying interest and closed the day with a bullish engulfing candlestick at 81 sen.
2. In the last three quarters, SF reported profit of 2.97m in 4Q23, 8.29m in 1Q24 and 17.4m in 2Q24. Clearly the profit performance for SF has moved from mediocre to good and from good to great. The management in its advisory statement on the future and prospects of the company believes that it earnings will be spectacular and sustainable in the coming quarters.
3. In the 1H, the substantial rise in revenue and profit was attributed to the upgrading of production capacity arising from technology and automation as well as the implementation of factory operating time from 12hr shift to 18hr shift.
4. The additional hours of operation had permanently increased the production output from 166mt to 190mt annually.
5.The hard work and improvement effort undertaken by the management has begun to show up and reflected in the current remarkable and commendable result announcement of 17.4m as compare to 6.9m in the corresponding quarter last year.
6. For the 1H24 SF has accumulated profit of 25.6m. If SF is able to maintain its profit performance, than its year end earnings would be 51.2m. The company has issued and paid up share capital of 513m therefore, the EPS is 10sen.
7. The current bursa PE of 30 blue chips companies is between 13x to 15x and considering that SF being a relatively unknown, yet a PE of 11x would potentially value SF at Rm1.10 by year end.
8. Hence, basing on this analysis and valuation the upside potential of SF in the foreseeable future is astronomical. Therefore, it is unwittingly wasteful to dispose when SF has just only waken up to bursa. The selling would be somewhat pre matured.
9. The company has a dividend policy and the payout ratio is 30%. It has declared a 1.5 sen dividend and the ex date is on 15/3/24. The dividend payment date is on 5th Apr.2024
10. SF has also announced that it will undertake a bonus issues to reward its loyal and long term steadfast shareholders. For every 3 shares held, investors will be rewarded with one bonus shares on a date to be determined later.
10. In the meanwhile the company will undertake a private placement to place out 10% or about 51.3m new shares to selected investors or institutional funds. The indicative placement price is 75sen and SF is aspired to raise Rm38.5m. Fund raising through private placement is fast, efficient, interest saving and less burdensome. There is no interest payment and absence of repayment of principle amount or borrowings.
11. It would be interesting to see who subscribe to the 51m placement shares. What transpire that motivates the subscribers and the reasons and great confidence they have on the prospect of the company and future intrinsic value ascribed to SF.
12. New investors have awaken to Seng Fong's remarkable and commendable profit performance. Good days have arrived and the best day is still ahead of the company.
13. There is value in SF. You have been enlightened. Are you still sucking your thumb?. The choice is yours.
Prospects and Outlook for the Current Financial Year
The global economy would continue to face challenges and uncertainty with the business environment of the geopolitical tension in Middle East that may impact the global growth.

The installation of the Biomass System to generate gas from wood chips as a fuel source for our dryer system is aiming towards cost-saving by replacing the consumption of diesel; however, there is further fine-tuning required by the vendor after the commissioning.

In cognizant of the significance of sustainability in generating long-term value for the businesses and stakeholders and as part of the growth strategies, Syarikat Tenaga (Gemas) Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has entered into the sales contract with Guangdong Ruobo Intelligent Robot Co Ltd from China on 1 December 2023 to purchase the Smart Rubber Manufacturing Equipment at a purchase price of RMB10,430,000.00 (Renminbi Ten Million Four Hundred and Thirty Thousand) or equivalent to approximately RM6,779,500.00 (Ringgit Malaysia Six Million Seven Hundred Seventy Nine Thousand Five Hundred). Such installation would take place in Factory 2 first; this is in line with the adoption of Industry 4.0 towards automation in manufacturing processes which is to further enhance production efficiency and achieve cost-efficiency as well as reduce reliance on foreign workers.

Future prospects and catalyst: - Approximately 70% of global natural rubber is used for tyre manufacturing, hence the demand for natural block rubber depends greatly on the development of the automotive and tyre industries. - Increasing demand from the China and India markets (2 of the largest world consumers of natural rubber), spurred by emerging demand in the automotive industry. - Fluctuation of crude oil prices. demand of supply of rubber and seasonal factors such as El-Nino and La Nina effect also may affect them. - by 2035, $SENFONG / 5308 (SENG FONG HOLDINGS BERHAD) target to increase capacity to 250,000 MTs per annum, and they look to achieve it through either locating a strategic site for constructing new factory buildings or pursuing business acquisitions, if opportunities arise.
Corporate actions to take note and study further: - Proposed private placement of up to 51.9 million new ordinary shares, representing up to 10% of the total number of its issued shares - Bonus issue of up to 190.3 million shares on the basis of one bonus share for every three existing shares.
1.The 1 for 3 bonus shares have become a near certainty. The extra general meeting to obtain shareholders' approvals has been fixed on 6th. May 2024. Investors who has the strength and stamina to hold onto the shares will be rewarded handsomely.
2. It is surprising that there has been no news on the placement shares considering that the EGM for bonus shares is just 3 weeks away.
3. Market is anxiously waiting for the news and development on the placement shares. Once it is done, the new shareholders with a 10% stake in the company will will have and interest to sustain the share price at elevated level.
4. Seng fong for the past few trading days had closed between 106 and 109 with intraday height reaching 111 on considerably big volume. 5. Once, this is broken, better days are forthcoming.
The corporate exercise to raise fund through a private placement has completed. The available allocation for the placement shares is 51.8m.
2. Very fortunately to minority shareholders the company only aspired to sell 22m shares instead of the entire possible allocation of 51.8m shares.
3. This is a positive and intelligent management endeavor to limit the share base and to minimize share dilution.
4. The outcome of placement shares is favorable to minority shareholders and those steadfast long term shareholders and founder as well.
5. The company has very strong balance sheet and generate healthy positive cashflow. Going forward, it is hope that the management would abandon the idea of second tranche and limit the negative impact of share dilution arising from the enlargement share capital base
6. In the coming days, the share price will be supported at the elevated level by the bonus shares of which the EGM has been fixed on 6th May 2024.
7. The 50% dividend policy and the remarkable and commendable performance in revenue and profit for 2024 and 2025 will boost share price in the days to come.
8. For the 1Q the company generated a profit of 8.3m and for the 2Q the company made 17.4m in profit for a total of 25.7m in 6 months. If this is taken as a guild the year end annualized profit would be 51.4m say 52m. Hence, a 50% dividend policy would mean 26m will be marked and distributed as dividend. Next year might even be better.
8. This is my personal and laymen perception of the counter. It is not intended to influence your investment decision and strategy. 9 Happy trading. 26/4/2024
1.The director through its flagship company Sumber Panji Sdn Bhd has further consolidated its position and shareholdings in Seng Fong by acquiring 825,200 additional shares.
2.Directors and insiders purchases are a sign of confidence and positive conviction in the prospects and future earning growth of the company.
3 These are the people who know best and have the most up to date information about their company. Hence, directors buying its own company shares and continuing in its efforts are certainly worth examining and following.
3. One of the greatest investors of all time Peter Lynch was noted as saying
" insiders might sell shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one reason ; "THEY THINK THE PRICE WILL RISE".
4. Directors surely know something about the company that we don't know. So, ride on their knowledge and expertise and profit from it.
5 The EGM for bonus shares is on the 6/5/24. Hi guys get into action and excitement.
6. This is my personal and laymen perception of the counter and it is not a buy or sell recommendation and certainly not intended to influence your investment strategy and decision.
1Sumber Panji Sdn Bhd (SPSB) is on a buying spree. In two 2 days it has acquired a total of 1,494,300 shares.
2Why is SPSB aggressively buying its company shares and increasing its stake ?
3. You may be aware that before the private placement Seng Fong has 518.91m shares and SPSB effectively holds 59.39% of the issued share capital. 4 Upon completion of private placement of 22,281,000 new shares, the enlarged share capital become 541.19m shares.
5. To avoid dilution of shareholding SPSB needs to buy back its company shares. Considering the enlarged capital is 541.19m and to maintain its original shareholdings of 59.39% , it must directly own 541.19 x 0.5939 =321.41m shares.
6. After 2 days of buying seng fong in its filing announced that SPSB now has 318.72m shares. 7 The short fall is 321.41m minus 318.72m is 2.69m
8. Therefore, it is reasonably expected that SPSB will continue to mop up 2.69m shares from the open market to preserve its original shareholding of 59.39%
9. Hence, the share price will continue to climb and sustain at elevated level leading into its EGM and announcement of its ex date for the bonus issue.
10. This is my perception of Seng Fong and the implication of SPSB aggressively buying back its own company shares.
1 Tomorrow is the EGM to obtain the shareholders' approval. Thereafter, the company will announce the ex date. The bonus issue has become a clear certainty after tomorrow.
2. Last Friday seng fong closed at 117 down 1 sen. With the bonus shares and renew buying support from the market, I believe the share price could reach new height and sustain at elevated level. 3 The company will announce its result in the month of May. In the 2nd quarter it made 17.4m and EPS 3.35sen and declared 1.5sen dividend. If this is served as a guild than SF will announce 17.4m or higher profit performance in its 3Q.
4. The company has a 50% dividend policy, hence it is realistically expected that loyal and steadfast shareholders may get to enjoy additional 1.5sen dividend in addition to the bonus shares.
5 Many good things are happening in SF. Ride on the news and benefit from it. 6. This is my personal perception and it may or may not reflect the true situation of SF in the coming weeks.
7 Happy Trading 5/5/24
