“We have nurtured the food security division over the last 10 years and we think it has turned a corner. We are likely to see a bigger contribution from the division, so we are going to carve it out and show it as one of our core businesses,” MFCB non-independent, non-executive director Yeow See Yuen tells The Edge in a recent interview.

What is the likely impact of strong RM on MFCB's net profit? 10-20%?

2024-08-22 10:13

Bulk of its earnings in foreign currency. Go figure.

2024-08-22 15:08

Decent quarter. But have to see next quarter for effects of strong MYR

2024-08-22 19:28

should just sell edenor if really cannot turn the company around. kept bleeding money.... their cash pile growing, hopefully can secure another new bigger hydro project while growing the company.

Seasonal or cyclical factors
The Group’s principal business operations were not significantly affected by seasonal
or cyclical factors other than its Renewable Energy Division where hydropower
generation is subject to seasonal fluctuation of the water level. Normally, the water
level will peak between June and November during the wet season. More detailed
commentary is set out in Notes B3 and B4 to these financial statements.

"It is worth noting that the recent appreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit (5-6% increase since the end of June 2024), if maintained for the remainder of the year, may result in lower reported earnings in Ringgit terms (on same USD term) for the second half of 2024.

Despite the stronger Ringgit, and considering the increase in effective ownership of Don Sahong Power Company (DSPC) from 80% to 95%, we expect that the PATNCI for Don Sahong will demonstrate robust double-digit year-on-year growth of more than 20% in the second half of 2024."

@Pinky, forex is inconsequential, MFCB is anticipating more than 20% y-o-y growth in 2H2024 due to higher effective interest and 5th turbine. Not to forget the rest of the divisions are growing steadily as well. MFCB never disappoints the long term shareholders :)

@ocbc. i already sold back my CCB shares during their 2nd offer, due to my inexperience my maybank remiser said my CCB shares ought to be sold. In fact, later i checked from other sources, if you intend to keep the shares forever even after privitisation, no one can force you to sell..

Btw, good to see you also interested in this counter

Ya, CCB refer to Cycle & Carriage Bintang.

28/8/2024 i have participated in the MFCB Q2 online investor briefing.
Outlook is look for Q3. If you intend to keep a copy of the briefing, you can go MFCB website, on the right hand corner, try to look for the investor briefing PDF notes and download to aid your investment decision

Hi Willtolive, i guess you are talking about CSC Agruculture Holding S/B..

PETALING JAYA: Mega First Corp Bhd’s (MFCB) venture into fruit and vegetable farming is not expected to contribute significantly to its earnings.

The group, which is involved in the power, resources, and property segments, said on Wednesday that it intends to acquire a 64% stake in plantation firm, CSC Agriculture Holdings Sdn Bhd (CSCAH), for RM25mil.

@Nepo,

According to the article "MFCB is also reportedly close to securing a piece of commercial land in Setia Alam for the construction of a hospital"

Seems the company is looking for other revenue source as the company revenue stays sideways since end 2022.

@Pinky

They said energy/RE will always be their core. And from profit, it is. If they can deploy their cash and grow into other businesses, it is good news. Hong Leong also diversified into many other businesses.

@BursaVulture

But that is only at Hong Leong Capital Berhad level. We can buy HLIND if we want motorbike biz, HLB if we want purely bank biz, and so on.

MFCB is taking everything under its wings 😂

It becomes conglomerate .

Look like this mgt is looking forward for long term sustainable segment i.e renewable energy and recession proof
segments..

Sb says that good mgt must possess the following criteria:-
1). Trustable mgt team
2). Long term view
3). Take care of minority

How many criteria does Mfcb mgt full fill?

BursaVulture

@Pinky

I am very sure when Hong Leong started, also starts small and grew and then split and split... If one day one of MFCB's subsidaries grew very big, they will split it out and list on Bursa too. Give them time to prove themselves. Maybe it works, maybe it won't. We'll never know. At least they are trying to grow and not just sit comfortably like Orient, Berjaya etc...

the food division is not ready for market yet

2 months ago

BursaVulture

yes, not ready yet. It takes time. maybe 10 years for other subsidiaries to grow into a big enough size, but i doubt it will be anywhere near the hydro. QL's familymart took so long, now still growing and consider big, but not very big.

Why is management taking so long to announce the new revised agreement on the 5th turbine that had attained COD on 1st July 2024? At the 2Q briefing, management said that the new revised agreement is ready and awaiting the Laos government approval. Is it not approved or getting difficulty in getting approval? In the meantime the share price is getting lower and lower. Hope there will be good news when the 3Q results are announced in November.
