but my small stake is definitely better than those cynics that totally avoid this stock

their cynicism completely deprives them opportunities to capture the potential windfall , which comes at minimal risk if you keep your exposure small

to be honest, I haven't bet very big

yes, same concern here

but all these becomes non issue when you put on a long term investor cap

why pick this for long term ?

ask yourself what kind of company is this ?

answer : a world class company. It has economy of scale, financial resources, expertise and proper governance to go very far

I can see traces of moat in this group (anyway, I am not a big fan of moat, I am not obsessed with it. I believe it is a topic that need to be revisited and challenged, after Buffett promulgated it as the holy grail for long term portfolio success)

buy now, put aside, hold for lets say, 10 years, ride the cycles, let it grow organically (yes, nowadays I have become very patient). Let your money works for you

no guarantee it will work, but it is a rational bet

that is my game plan

if they spend some money to buy the additional 10% stake from the Chinese, increasing stake from 30% to 40%, maybe can go to RM7.00

Stock

2019-01-16 11:04 | Report Abuse

yes, provided no fraud, this is a RM5.00 stock

you find it ridiculous ?

MFCB 260 MW can potential generate RM260 mil (upper limit) net profit

Jaks 360 MW net profit = RM260 x 3.6 / 2.6 = RM360 mil

less some interest expenses of lets say RM20 mil per annum, and others losses, maybe RM300 mil net profit

based on 550 mil shares, EPS 55 sen

10 timers PER = RM5.50

All the way down from $ 1.80 I don't feel comfortable. When they announced the last results, I still feeling uncomfortable......It is only after reading Icon last article on Jaks and further thinking by me....every thing becomes clear in my mind....every thing makes sense......my conclusion......no stock offers more clarity than Jaks for 3 months money, 12 months money.........

LCT, a large consumer of naphtha at c.2-2.3m MTPA would be a significant beneficiary of depressed crude oil prices, in our view.

We expect product spread to improve as naphtha and ethylene prices have dropped in tandem; this is positive for its profit margins as PU at its Indonesian ops is also ramping up.

We estimate that for every US$10/mt drop in average naphtha price would rake in savings of c.US$23m in feedstock costs.

We reiterate our BUY recommendation on the stock with an unchanged SOP-derived TP of RM7.25. We believe prolonged lower oil price is a key catalyst to the stock price.

Key beneficiary of low crude prices

The plunge in crude oil price has sent naphtha prices lower; naphtha price is now at c.US$500/mt, over 20% lower than 3Q18 average price of US$680/mt. We believe LCT is a key winner in the current low crude price scenario; its annual consumption of c.2-2.3m MTPA of naphtha (produced mainly from crude oil) as its main production feedstock accounts for c.50-70% of total operating cost.

RM18m savings for each US$10/mt drop in naphtha

Prior to 2018, LCT consumes 2m MTPA of naphtha, on average. With the new TE3 plant (began operation at end 2017), LCT now consumes c.2.3m MTPA (Table 1). We estimate that every US$10/mt drop in average naphtha price could net annual savings of US$23m (RM92m @ RM4/US$) in feedstock cost. Assuming it retains 20% of the savings (from being passed on to buyer), LCT’s could add c.RM18m in gross profits or +1.5%.

Ethylene-PE spread widened

The plunge in ethylene price has widened the ethylene-PE spread to c.US$300/mt (Chart 2). We expect the PU at LCT’s Indonesia plants to improve as management noted PU was kept low at c.70% during unfavourable ethylene-PE spread market.

Maintaining utilisation rate

Its 9M18 PU stood at 84% (9M17: 69%), slightly below the guidance of 85% for 2018. Management noted that the TE3 plant is currently under a 3-month general maintenance shutdown and would resume by Jan 2019. Still, management believes it is on track to achieve its target as other downstream plants will be running as normal.

Reiterate BUY call, undemanding valuation

Reiterate BUY with an unchanged SOP-derived TP of RM7.25. We note that the stock currently trades at undemanding multiple of 9.3x FY18 ex-cash P/E before easing to 8.1x in FY19. We believe prolonged lower oil price is a key catalyst to share price.

you need to better control your emotion

otherwise you can't make rational decision

pause a while and think the whole thing through : where are we now ? what is the likelihood of no deal Brexit ? what is the latest development ? pointing towards what direction ?

We are just two weeks into the new year, hartalega and TOP gloves has already corrected by quite a lot. During the past five years, aided by weak RM that boost profitability , the gloves stocks enjoy PE multiple expansion. Going forward, they can only rely on earning growth. If earnings momentum weakens (let's say due to stronger RM) , will the stocks continue to deliver the kind of return that you enjoyed from 2014 to 2018 ?

What about Nestle ? Can its PE multiple expand another round to reach 100 times ?

The way I see it, your portfolio might not be as defensive as you think it is

General

2019-01-16 01:02 | Report Abuse

But the problem is that this is achieved through stretched valuation with Nestle at 50 times PER, hartalega and Top glove at 30 something times PER

by entering your next five years at such lofty valuation , what is the chance that you can achieve similar level of return ?

General

That day I did a quick calculation of your portfolio return. Over five years, it generated capital gain of 80%. Plus the dividend of let's say 20%, you probably have 100% over five years. Translates into 15% per annum
