Latest annual revenue still remains below the prepandemic level. It is about the same revenue as in 2017.
However, its profit before tax has turned positive this year.
At RM 3.46 per share today, this is double from its lowest price of 2022.

Topglove

This stock was the darling of many newcomers in 2020. Sadly, all who bought in 2020 and did not sell would have lost a lot of their capital.

Those who bought before 2020 and still holding their stocks today will see their share price shrunk by 40% or so. However, Topglove distributed 75 sen dividends (2020 11.67 sen and 2021 63.50 sen) and given its price of RM 1.10 today, they probably are sitting on a small gain today.

Luckily, I sold Topglove in 2020 on its way up, at the time of exuberance, though I still hold shares in this company today.

A turnaround stock.

Revenues and earnings continue to grow at low pace (4% annually).
Dividends paid over the last 10 years grew from 11sen (2014) to 19 sen (2023),. growing at CAGR of 6%+.

At price of RM 4.04:
Its PE has shrunk from mean of 14 to 11.8 today.
Its present DY is 4.7%.

After World War II, US became the dominant country in the world. The world was divided and the cold war ensued for many years. The Soviet Union broke up and many of its newly independent countries are now with or leaning to the G7 and European countries.

The US dollar reigned supreme. It soon become the world reserve currency and most trades between countries are settled in US dollars. The SWIFT system provides the mean to trade using the US dollars for many decades.

When the US santioned Russia by kicking it out of the SWIFT system and also freezing its US denominated assets (mostly in US Treasury bonds), it set off an alarm bell to those holding the US dollars and their vulnerabilities, especially in those where US try to coerced or pressured.

The need to look for an alternative system was urgent for these countries not in the good books of the US. They looked to learn from the Iranian sanctions by the US and also the sanctions of Russia by the US, and given our human ingenuity, soon comes out with a system to trade among themselves, by passing the use of the US currency. Moreover, while the G7 controlled a huge part of the world GDP at its inception, its influence today is much less (30%). BRICS+ controls more than 30% of the world GDP today.

In a few months or perhaps a year or two, we should see the rise of a new world currency system (backed by gold) in place, for those countries wishing to participate in this. In the next few years, the US currency will remain all powerful still but the weaponisation of the US currency will be less effective. Over time, will we be seeing the rise of the BRIC+ currency and the slow gentle decline of the US currency as the world reserve currencies.

Given the huge debts of the US, will the slow decline in the use of the US currency as a world reserve currency impact its economic strength in the near future?

Higher revenues and increase in gold prices had improved its profit margin.

calvintaneng, the KLCI has risen 10% YTD. However, you promoted TSH from 1.78 to 1.05. Maybe you should reconsider your actions?

Projected EPS for next year: 140 sen - 160 sen
At today's price of RM 38 per share, its projected PER is 27 to 23.7

Hoperfully, DLady will soon normalise its gross profit margins soon and with its increasing revenues, this will translate into even higher earnings and EPS.

Learn from history.

The mainland Chinese are now so much better than their parents and grandparents. We applaud and rejoice their successes. Lifting such a big population out of poverty is a great achievement.

Tiananmen incident is repeatedly used by the detractors to run down mainland China. The majority of the mainland Chinese rightly support their government of the day.

calvintaneng comes out again with another of his projections. This is just classic of this chap.

ECRL Project: He came up with a long list of companies that will benefit from this project, due to their lands being proximal to this project. What happened?

National Fibre Project: He came out with a list of companies. Remember what happened to NETX.

Plantation stocks: He too came out with a long list of plantation stocks that he was convinced will be multiple winners. We know his TSH sank from $1.78 to $1.05.

Now, he is into data centers and he too has a long list of companies that will benefit.

My observation is he is a very imaginative person indeed.

Good morning. 😀😀

It is not necessarily a problem for a company to spend heavily on capex, as long as the capex is earnings a decent ROCE.

However, capex that is consistently much higher than depreciation with no improvement in ROCE is rarely the hallmark of a great company.

Essentially, MYEG's capex is high. Mostly for developing new businesses. It has taken on more debts. OTOH, its Return on capital employed remained in the high teens and even increased, which is reassuring that its investments have not been in vain.

No track record to judge this company. Investing into this company is based on pure speculation and blind-folded too. 😀😀😀

You can always wait 5 years to have another look at this counter, and it will still be alright for your investing. Patience is so important in investing.

calvintaneng knows very little about this company's business. Not within his circle of competence. In fact, the whole plantation sector, calvintaneng talks a lot of non-sense.

Public bank abandoned the ship.

KUALA LUMPUR: Public Investment Bank (PublicInvest) is ceasing its coverage of TSH Resources Bhd due to the company's limited growth prospects and sluggish fresh-fruit bunches (FFB) yield.

The firm said it is reallocating its internal sources to other sectors.
>>>>



>>>
In a research note today, PublicInvest said FFB production growth is anticipated to be subdued this year due to the sale of plantation assets in Indonesia and Sabah (13,214 hectares) over the past two years.

"Additionally, the average age of the plantations is increasing (currently 13.4 years old), and FFB yield remains low due to insufficient replanting activities in recent years," PublicInvest said.

Additionally, TSH Resources encountered significant crude palm oil (CPO) taxes when exporting its CPO products due to the current unfavourable CPO export tax policy in Indonesia.

The group continues to record commendable earnings growth premised on the Zetrix platform. The progressive effort to introduce new services using blockchain technology would further translate into better yield for the group. Note that this is on top of the existing e-government services which serve a good earnings base for the group. At the current rate, the house is of view that there is a high chance that earnings from Zetrix would take over the overall income from e-government services.

When a promoter cannot see the zero value of NETX at the time of his promotion, the best thing for the followers are to ignore and to do their own analysis.

Can you fathom why it cannot distribute higher dividends?

In the past, when nearly all the shareowners of icapital.biz Berhad were individuals, its share price traded at a premium to its NAV. In the coming years, I pray that this can be repeated so that your Fund can finally restore its real value. In that context, I would like to make a plea to the few recalcitrant investors (for the lack of a better term to describe them) not to act disruptively and destructively.

Why and when should a closed end fund trade at a premium?
As a value investor, he would like to buy at a discount.

This director cashed out half his share holdings.

When interest rate goes up, asset values are expected to drop. Something to do with the value of an asset is the discounting value of all the cash flows from these assets by a higher discount factor.

How do we explain the last 2 years US stock market behaviour? The FED increased the interest rates and yet the US stock market climbed higher and higher.😃

Today, Velesto is performing. Challenge - how to get to net carbon zero? How to invest into renewables? No plan for now.

Is Velesto price fully valued?
It is more expensive than other comparables.
Sustainable returns to shareholders? Little growth going forward.

How to bring value to shareholders? No plan for inorganic growth.

O&G is cyclical. Stay in upstream. Looking into production space. Operating expenditures only, not heavy capex needed. More sustainable. Must be asset light (based on recent past experience, victim of recent downturn in O&G).

Future: Focus on Asset light and Production.
