this is capitalism at its best

excellent results, Scientex

profit margin expansion = earnings + FCF growth = PE multiple expansion

this is the trajectory we should be looking at

earnings growth will take care of ROE (if you really fixated on this metric alone)

annualised earnings around 37sen per share

say PE 12x, implied value = RM4.44 + 0.31 (net cash) = RM4.75

next year 2020 earnings, say grow conservatively in line with GDP, you get around 39-40 sen EPS

for comparison, their 3 year average earnings was 40.5sen

i believe they will do better than 3 year average

Can treat it as fixed deposits while waiting for potential catalysts to unlock this gem.

You get 9 sen dividend every year. Dividends are well supported by its cash generation ability.

This company is prime candidate for privatization. Net cash is more than 50% market cap. Current valuation is at 0.6x of book value.

Used to be darling of Bursa, but performance was greatly affected by loss of business to Datasonic in previous years.

this one is much regret. i missed the boat, entirely.

Well, i do enjoy reading Ricky's blog though.

It fulfills my "intellectual pursuit".

Investing is easy when value emerges.

Latest book value RM3.80

If Alliance does ROE 8-9% this year
Implied P/BV of 0.8x, FV = RM3.04
Implied P/BV of 0.9x, FV =RM3.42

If substantially below PE 15x i may consider buying.

Bought ABMB. Valuations are dirt cheap.

This is an irrelevant subject to touch on in the field of investing.

Bonus issue + increased dividends

YiStock bonus issue + split

newbie, perhaps you should stay away from the market, learned your trade (read up and learn from the experienced investors) before investing your hard earned money.

the market is very unforgiving.

https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kianweiaritcles/241253.jsp

i still believe earnings recovery are imminent

i have sold mine at 1.65 yesterday

will look to re-enter again

so far i read are all positive bias.

what about the negative factors? the risks involved?

i currently reading Factfulness. Had completed the Jared Diamond's trilogy

it's getting closed to that i believe.

if i'm not wrong, latest ROIC is at 18%

it's not far fetched to predict this company can produce annual FCF of 500-600mil (>10% of current market cap)

but i do have to take note of what Ricky pointed out.

the competitive landscape surrounding the industry.

and the ability to scale up.

if the company is growing 20% over the next few years, it's fair to pay PE 13x (though note that i didn't pay 13x, i believe its a fair valuation. my cost is at single digit PE)

whether it's a great long term investment, i'm not sure.

it's not my core holdings anyway.

This company is a cash generating machine. Incredible cash flows.

From QR report:

The Board expects the ongoing construction of SPE, River of Life beautification packages, the toll
revenue and the sales of completed properties units will continue to contribute positively to the
Group's turnover and profitability in the current financial year. The Company is working closely
with the Government on various infrastructure projects which has been proposed to the
Government. In addition, the Company is also working together with the local partners in Sabah
and Sarawak to tender and secure construction contracts directly from the Government. The
Board is hopeful that the Company is able to secure some of these projects

if you take heed of what mr.market does, i fear for your mental heath.

last week, HLIND drop to 9.70. within 2 days, mr.market "valued" it at 10.48

within a week, the company valuation changed by 250mil

Even in Malaysia, there's plenty of stocks giving earnings yield above 10% v. government bonds yield of 3%+

it's a no brainer to be continue invested in equities

took some profit at 1.65

cheers!

AJI is looking tasty.

i crave for more

focus on the business fundamentals and not be guided by movement in share prices

unless the market is telling you something you didn't know. most of the times it's just noise.

i will continue to hold TGUAN



Stock: [TGUAN]: THONG GUAN INDUSTRIES BHD
Nov 21, 2019 11:34 AM | Report Abuse

average PE multiple is around 12x

CIMB ascribed a PE of 13x for packaging sector

i believe 40sen earnings is achievable in 2020

estimated valuation = 12 x 0.40 = RM4.80
plus net cash 0.31sen
TP = RM5.11

it's up to you to take advantage of the mispricing, unless you agreed with mr.market

management has always been shareholder friendly. even in "bad times" they still do ROE of 15%
and consistently declaring dividends

management, as always, have been very conservative in it's profit guidance but i believe the furniture industry, as a whole, is witnessing a positive structural change driven by trade diversion

a price advantage for Malaysian furniture exporters

if you look at past results, Liihen has recorded 4 consecutive profit growth (above 40% y-o-y growth for 3 quarters and 1 quarter >100%).

book value has consistently growing each quarter, from 1.20 in Sep'15. That's 16 quarters of consecutive growth in book value

net cash position has increased to 68sen (22% of market cap)

they used to declare 22sen dividend in 2015 and 20sen in 2016

current year profit will exceed those earned in 2015 and 2016, i believe we will see at least 20sen dividend again soon

should be looking at a minimum RM4

ROE >20%, ROIC>40%

this stock should be valued at least 2x BV (=RM4.02 based on latest BV 2.02)

earnings wise, not far fetched to project at least 9x min PER on annualised EPS of 42sen
(0.42*9 + net cash 0.68) = RM4.50

earnings yield is whopping 25% (6 times more than risk free rate)

free cash flows is growing. latest cash yield is 14%

it's not unreasonable to say this stock should be valued at the higher end of PE range for furniture stocks, i.e. 10x, for its quality earnings growth and strong balance sheet

above my expectations. i was expecting 10sen EPS.

Liihen on track to achieve record earnings, back to its heydays in 2016-2017

annualised EPS is around 42sen

good opportunity to collect at lower price. i remember similar situation last year when HLIND removed from Syariah compliant list.

Icon is very aggressive

But it's a good time to make money and to be rich.

YiStock has in depth analysis on TGUAN

maybe he can share some of his insights

average PE multiple is around 12x

CIMB ascribed a PE of 13x for packaging sector

i believe 40sen earnings is achievable in 2020

estimated valuation = 12 x 0.40 = RM4.80
plus net cash 0.31sen
TP = RM5.11

Profit margin expanded to 6%

Annualised ROE 11% (>10%)
Annualised ROIC 18% (even better >15%)
Earnings yield 15.93%

PER 7.8x
Ex cash PER 7x

Teo Seng just reported a good set of results

Next year EPS should normalise, back to growth trajectory.

CIMB TP 3.65:
We maintain our Add call with a higher TP of RM3.65 (12.3x CY21F P/E) as we roll over
our valuation year to end-2020F. We continue to like YSP for: i) its attractive valuation of
9.6x CY21 P/E (22% discount to its 5-year historical mean of 12.3x), ii) its net cash
position of RM47.7m (as at end-3Q19), and iii) the inelastic demand for drugs. Potential
re-rating catalysts are stronger-than-expected sales locally and regionally. Downside
risks to our call: decline in sales volume and continued losses in its Vietnam operations.

It's good news for YSP too.

From CIMB report:
We expect YSP to record stronger 4Q19 results, in tandem with higher drug demand
from government medical facilities. This is premised on: i) 4Q being a seasonally stronger
period, and ii) government facilities increasing drug orders with its suppliers due to earlier
concerns of a disruption to medical supply on expectations that the government would
not renew Pharmaniaga’s concession agreement (CA) to provide logistics and distribution
services for drugs under approved product purchase list (APPL). It has since been
announced that Pharmaniaga has obtained two extensions for services under the CA

too illiquid to my liking

in situation like this, shareholders interest tend to be not taken care of. in other words, ignored

there is also opportunity for arbitrage

i'm eagerly awaiting AliBaba new listing in HK

i will hold until RM2

i am hoping for a 20sen dividend

if u have a longer term view, this stock is worth at least RM2

At current price, you have above 30% margin of safety

Icon, Alliance is impacted (loan loss provisions) due to their huge exposures to London Biscuits
