On steadier footing in FY24E
We are encouraged that sales for both Mynews and CU stores have improved, alongside narrowing losses for the group’s FPC and CU operations. With this, MNHB can fully focus on growing its group-wide fresh food sales contribution to lift group margins in a sustainable manner. Our earnings estimates are unchanged. Maintain BUY with an unchanged TP of MYR0.62, based on 1.7x FY24E PBV

Maybank Investment Bank (Maybank IB) Research has maintained a “buy” call with an unchanged TP of 62 sen for MyNews.

“With its CU stores and food processing centre reaching break-even levels, positive group earnings growth will become more sustainable, while growing average sales per store also signals an improved consumer appeal towards Mynews stores,” it said.

KUALA LUMPUR: The outlook for MyNews Holdings Bhd appears promising, according to RHB Research.

The change in strategy to consolidate the management teams of MyNews and CU stores has led to promising sales and margin improvement, the firm added.

"Moving ahead, the robust expansion of the MyNews brand, coupled with the reduction of losses at CU and anticipated breakeven of the food processing centre (FPC) are poised to sustain the group's turnaround," it said in a note.

RHB Research added that MyNews had achieved RM24 million-RM29 million profit pre-pandemic, but the introduction of CU in 2021 resulted in continuous losses throughout its gestation period.

Over the three years, the convenience store operator had learned from its mistakes and adapted a new strategy.

It consolidated the management teams of CU and MyNews to leverage the latter's local expertise in running an international brand.

"This resulted in GPM improvement given the more synergistic benefits and cost savings due larger combined scale, while also contributing to stronger sales through better product assortment.

"We highlight CU's closest peer, FamilyMart, took three years to breakeven.

"With the financial year 2024 (FY24) marking the third year since CU's introduction, excluding the pandemic year, it is poised to break even," it noted.

RHB Research expects profit to return to pre-pandemic levels in FY25 for MyNews, with CU breaking even by the end of 2024.

The firm kept a "Buy" call on the company with a target price of 68 sen.

RHB Research said MyNews has been continuously gaining market share, with sales growing despite the overall decline in the convenience store sector, as cited by Nielsen.

This is attributed to its continuous fine tuning of product offerings and the introduction of more quality fresh food items after securing sufficient labour for FPC, which has led to better consumer traction.

"Management guided to aggressively expand this profitable brand to further offset narrowing losses from other business units given its track record of resilient performance.

"We believe this will be further aided by a new shareholder providing valuable insight and suggestions to the business.

"Mynews also plans to introduce new Maru Coffee Café, leveraging on the popularity of its coffee and fresh food products," it noted.

RHB Research also highlighted that FPC's losses narrowed to RM0.2 million in the first quarter (1Q) of FY24, smallest losses since its establishment in 2019.

This was due to stabilised input costs, and management being able to negotiate better terms with suppliers due to stronger sales volume.

"We anticipate FPC utilisation will continue to ramp up in line with store expansion and higher in-store sales.

"On the other hand, WH Smith's earnings are currently at approximately 70 per cent of pre-pandemic level as it was impacted by some airport renovation, but we expect it to recover post renovation and increasing tourist arrivals," it noted.

Moving forward, the firm said key risks for MyNews include delays in CU's turnaround and weaker-than-expected consumer sentiment.

Cash equivalents~ rm43mil, retained earnings rm32mil... dividend terjamin hehe

Bagus...

PROSPECTS
Currently, the group is operating a total of 619 outlets, made up of 468 myNEWS (including 34
SUPERVALUE), 132 CU and 19 WHSmith outlets. The number of new stores will increase at a faster rate
in FY2024. Therefore, we expect the sales revenue to grow in parallel with the growing store network
and ongoing efforts in increasing the in-store sales. Consequently, we expect the capacity of the FPC to
continue to increase, driven by the increasing sales at the retail front.
After going through the pandemic, Mynews is stronger, more versatile and dynamic. It looks towards
strategically expanding its five retail brands, namely, myNEWS, Korea's CU, the U.K.'s WHSmith,
SUPERVALUE minimart and MARU Coffee at a faster rate. Meanwhile, the internal talent and core
infrastructure made up of IT systems, FPC, distribution centres and logistics are continually enhanced to
support the growing businesses.
Mynews has turned profitable since the fourth quarter of FY2023. Barring any unusual seasonal changes
and unforeseen circumstances, Mynews is confident that the worst is over and expects that its
performance will continue to improve.

Wow, 2 quaters untung berterusan. Safe tak akan gulung hehe

immediately preceding quarter.

amortisation (EBITDA) increased by 2.0% to RM26.59 million from RM26.06 million.

jika beli syer pos, hanya untuk privatisation ataupun dijualkan kpd konglomerat lain... hehe

pos jugak drag down DRB performance... keep pos pun bodoh... takda kebolehan dalam kalangan pengarah2 dan CEO

or sell it to others yg dapat memulihkan pos... dah > 5tahun dalam ICU

at current low price, better to take it private... do financial reengineering, restructuring, etc.. proven ... tak dapat dipulihkan dalam struktur masakini... dah rugi tak terhingga

@Harryww

6 years continuesly lost. The only hope is privatisation and reorganise the whole organisation.

Strong earnings visibility for MyNews
TheStar Fri, Mar 29, 2024 12:00am - 9 hours


PETALING JAYA: Analysts are positive about MyNews Holdings Bhd’s prospects on expectations that the group will continue to deliver strong earnings.

The group posted a core net profit of RM1.8mil in the first quarter of financial year 2024 (1Q24), making its second consecutive profitable quarter.

According to CIMB Securities, the worst is over for the convenience store operator, backed by better earnings visibility stemming from a more sustainable growth strategy.

“We are maintaining our earnings forecasts, projecting MyNews to achieve a net profit of RM8mil in financial year 2024 (FY24) and rising to RM31mil by FY26,” the brokerage firm said in a report.

Kawan's products especially its roti canai, capati , dhal, etc should be marketed and distributed more aggressive globally.

In a viral Xiao Hong Shu (RED) post by @辣芷的美食日记, 2 Malaysian Indian men are seen flipping Roti Canai in Chongqing, China to the amusement of the people who pass by the stall. The best part is, the 2 Malaysian men interacted with the customers in the Mandarin language. One of the men had his smile on ALL the time, and he was happily flipping the bread while chatting with the customer.

Another man, who seemed a little camera-shy was busy grilling the bread right next to him.

KUALA LUMPUR (March 27): Sports Toto Bhd (SPToto) said on Wednesday that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Magna Mahsuri Sdn Bhd, has acquired a 1.34% equity interest in Berjaya Food Bhd for RM13.21 million, resulting in its shareholding in the group increasing to 1.77%.

In a bourse filing, SPToto stated that the acquisition was carried out between March 25 and March 27 from the open market via direct business transactions, at an average purchase price of 55.5 sen per BFood share.

According to SPToto, the cash consideration for the acquisitions was determined based on the prevailing market prices of BFood's shares at the time of acquisition.

“The acquisitions were financed through the internal funds of the SPToto Group, and there is no liability to be assumed arising from the acquisitions,” it said.

SPToto added that the acquisition is not expected to have a material effect on the net assets, earnings, or gearing of the SPToto Group for the financial year ending June 30, 2024.

Berjaya Corp Bhd, founded by Tan Sri Vincent Tan, is the largest shareholder of BFood, which in turn, is the largest shareholder of SPToto.

Last month, SPToto reported that its net profit shrank by 63% in the second quarter from a year earlier, due to lower sales in both its number forecast operating segment and luxury car businesses, as well as higher operating costs.

Net profit for the three months ended Dec 31, 2023 (2QFY2024), was RM24.22 million compared with RM64.86 million over the same period a year earlier (2QFY2023). Revenue for the quarter slipped 2.85% year-on-year to RM1.37 billion from RM1.41 billion.

Shares in Sports Toto ended unchanged at RM1.39 on Bursa Malaysia on Wednesday, giving the group a market capitalisation of RM1.88 billion.

29sen to 32sen .. already UP 10%++ Hohup UP slightly more on the same day. Depending on demand n supply in the short term. :)

Large-scale infrastructure projects can further spur Malaysia's economic development

savemalaysia
Publish date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024, 08:55 AM
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia should focus on initiating large-scale infrastructure projects, which are crucial for the country's economic development as they generate spillover effects and employment opportunities.

This, in turn, would not only enhance productivity but also ensure that Malaysia maintained its global competitiveness, said KGV International Property Consultants executive director Samuel Tan.

He said notwithstanding the underwhelming performance in the fourth quarter of last year, there would be an upside lift for the economy this year, driven by Light Rail Transit, Mass Rapid Transit and Pan Borneo Sabah highway projects.

A spokesperson with a foreign fund management company, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he anticipated a promising outlook for the construction sector, supported by ongoing government projects.

He said the landscape was bolstered by private-sector construction ventures, buoyed by substantial investments in new semiconductor foundries and data centres.

"Last year, the overall performance of the construction industry was below expectations, with most players recording low earnings.

"The industry remains plagued by rising construction costs, declining order books and a fierce competitive environment.

"However, we believe that industry revenue will show better performance in the coming quarters."

One of the significant infrastructure undertakings in Malaysia is the Pan Borneo Sabah highway.

Big contractors, particularly those with a proven track record in Sabah and robust financial standings, are expected to take the lead in bidding for the remaining contracts as the project's funding mechanism becomes clearer.

According to CIMB Securities, the tender activities for Phase 1B of Pan Borneo Sabah are gaining traction, evidenced by the recent awarding of multiple new contracts.

The research firm said Phase 1B of the highway, valued at RM15.7 billion, encompassed 20 work packages, each averaging about RM785 million.

"Four packages were awarded on March 22 and physical work is set to commence on April 1.

"For the remaining 16 packages, the tender process is expected to conclude by the end of this month, with physical work scheduled to begin in May. So far, a total of 300 companies have participated in the Phase 1B tender and we believe that it would take a few months to shortlist the candidates," it said.

However, CIMB Securities cautioned that the project's margins might face pressure due to stiff competition.

Despite this, cost-competitive contractors still have the opportunity to secure multiple contracts when the tenders conclude.

CIMB Securities noted a distinct lack of public-listed construction companies involved in the Pan Borneo Sabah project.

It said most, if not all, of the contractors chosen for Phase 1A and the initial four packages of Phase 1B were privately held entities.

"However, we anticipate that public-listed contractors will take centre stage in the upcoming bidding processes as the project's funding mechanism becomes more transparent," it added.

The Malaysian construction sector ended 2023 on a high, with total construction work value reaching RM132 billion ringgit, the highest in 4 years. Can this momentum be sustained in 2024? We discuss the outlook for the sector with Chong Tjen-san of CGS International Securities.

close at 19.5sen... very likely tomorrow, it would be pushed higher by buyers :)

rebounding... hohup, a construction stock... greatly undervalued... even 20sen+ pun kira terlalu murah
