Owners earnings work best if you actually own the company.
However, the more important question that a minority shareholder needs to ask is this, how much more right issue will be incoming to dilute the earnings per share?

In 2015 when they won the contract, shares outstanding was 400 million. Today it is 650 million, in 2021 how much outstanding shares will be capable.

On the veracity of earnings, we are hearing multiple promises. Previously, management guided to revenue earnings in the ballpark of 240 million a year.
Today the guidance is 720 million a year.


https://focusmalaysia.my/mainstream/upcoming-vietnam-power-plant-could-bring-in-over-rm720-mil-per-year-says-jaks-ceo/

With Andy ang now saying that the power plants can generate revenue of 600-700 million usd every year, who should we believe?

1. The entire list of articles and projects given by dk66 that says he has reliable calculations of earnings?
2. The upgraded projects by Andy ang in an effort to get a higher price for the rights issue?
3. The comparable returns of other power plants in the region?

The simple fact is this. The is no profit GUARANTEE given by CEO, because there is guarantee that he will act on the behalf of the minority shareholders.

So simply put: do you trust the man to do the right thing?

If so, then by all means jaks is an undervalued gem.

But here is the thing, in the past 6 months ever since covid started, if you were to buy stocks at this time, ANY stocks at all, you would have a good chance of making money.

So isn't it better to pick the stocks with the lowest risk with highest gain? There are many stocks out there other than jaks. Sure you could make money in jaks, but would the returns really compound?

DCF is the most widely used valuation method by investment bankers for power plants.

Dear DK can you just stop painting such a rosy picture to get people buy into your one sided story.
Can't you wait till next quarter result to confirm the earning potential of the power plant.

• 建造、经营及转移 (BOT) 是一个非常强大的模式，未来相信再也看不到；Hai Duong发电厂投入运作后，预计每年可为JAKS的30%股权带来RM80-100m的盈利；将以Equity Accounted方式，也就是Associated贡献进账，不会录得营业额。
• 虽然协议以每年最低6,500营运小时计算，但是自家发电厂的设计为7,000-8,000小时；必须强调，衡量发电厂的效率并非参考营运小时；这项数据只是用于计算协议价值。
• 如果有资金能力，当然有兴趣收购发电厂额外10%股权，也就是将30%股权提升至40%；10%股权预计值得USD50-60m，相等于RM220-250m；如果决定收购，肯定必须向股东们筹资。
• 现阶段优先专注于发电厂的建筑活动，并寻求提早完工；如何重组发电厂的融资，减少贷款利息，以及提升未来利润，将是JAKS的首要考量

“Jaks Resources - The Most Reliable Earnings Guidance for JHDP”
Annual free cash flow = RMB1,609m = RM981m.
Hence, potential free cash flow from JHDP attributable to Jaks.
@30% = RM981m x 30% = RM294m
@40% = RM981m x 40% = RM392m

Are your Most Reliable Earnings Guidance for JHDP more reliable than what is been told in JAKS 2019 AGM?

If the profit from JHDP is ONLY RM100m, I will apologize to all the readers.

Dear DK,
No need to be so emotional. Wait for the next Quarter result.
If any one need to apologize it is the Board/ALP/CFO for giving confusion information.

Dear Sslee,

You can't blame the BOD/ALP/CFO for giving conservative guidance. I already laid out my reasons for taking vinh Tan 1 as earnings guidance. RM294m represents free cash flow not earnings. DCF calculation is based on FCF instead of earnings. That is why I advised readers to understand DCF before reading this article. I believe I have given sufficient warnings in my article.

Posted by DK > 2020-11-30 08:58 | Report Abuse

I have included the following statement in the article to avoid confusion.

(Caution : free cash flow is different from earnings)

I think DK is pretty clear with his valuation and assumptions.It is up to readers to make up their mind.If not for DK, no one would write anything about the power plant project here. I for one would not have invested in Jaks and missed the opportunity.Even if his figures is way off, I would not blame him as the assumptions are there for you to think and decide.

Posted by DK > 2020-11-30 13:17 | Report Abuse

stockwin, thank you for your understanding. Valuation in this article is derived using DCF with certain assumptions. I can't simply ignore it because the results is "too high" or "unbelievable".

Points in the article to challenge are;
1. DCF is not the most appropriate method of valuation
2. RM300m FCF based on Vinh Tan 1's results is inappropriate
3. Using Jaks' weighted average borrowing costs of 6.12% as discount rate is inappropriate
4. Assuming FCF will be reinvested in new opportunity is baseless
5. Assuming constant FCF for 25 years is too simplistic
6. Using Present value as stock valuation is inappropriate
7. Insufficient warnings

I hope more readers can think and behave like stockwin. Take responsibility for your own decision.

Posted by Philip ( buy what you understand) > 2020-11-30 19:17 | Report Abuse

I think if anything DK is bring TOO conservative. According to the latest projections by ALP, the power plant is projected to have a revenue of 720 million a year at 30% ownership. According to him, 1200mw plant can generate 600-700 million usd a year.

So no need to begrudge him, dk is doing a good job in getting figures on paper.

It is only a few more months away, let us just wait and see if the results garnered by dk projections is going to be worth waiting 3 year for it.

You yourself had already bought it before as well.

The revenue figure given by ALP is similar to Vinh Tan 1's revenue for 2019 of about USD650m.
