Why institutional investors are reluctant to invest in furniture companies in Malaysia that have survived many crises after weaker ones like CHG, LCL, etc went bust long ago?

Perhaps, the earnings is too volatile to their liking. To address this question, TAN KW, you should use the past 5 years' average EPS in determining a more appropriate PE ratio at current price.

Most furniture companies have been recovering very well after a dip in earnings from 2010 to 2011. The question is always that whether this strong earnings is sustainable into next 5 years especially in the case of Latitude's latest blockbuster quartelry results.

I put great emphasis on dividend as it lowers by cost of purchase each time I receive it. It has to be above FD as a minimum.

Net cash position is important in weathering through any crisis so that they do not have to make a cash call.

Net asset backing is also important as it provides the ultimate safety net of a company.

I personally believe furniture companies should be valued at 8 to 10 times of past 5 years' EPS. Any thing less than that is unwarranted neglect on the part of investors- especially institutional ones.
