Others already started to prepare for "participate in digital banking in Malaysia". N2N need to see the urgency. Cannot totally reliant on just trading platform
N2n connect Simple explanation 1. Business - recession proof and during good times they make money too. How their business works. a) they are an online trading platform for capital markets. hongkong and Malaysia is the largest markets for n2n (70% and 40% respectively). The company make money when volume of trading increases. They earn a cut from the volume itself. In short, nowadays, regardless of placing an order through online or a broker, it will go through this platform. There are only two trading platform in Malaysia. One is eforce and another is n2n.
Business prospect. (I guess this is always a why should I buy) - expansion in 2018. They acquire AFE solutions from Thomson Reuters. The strategy if acquiring this business is to expand their trading online platform in hongkong. Which they see it has successfully achieved 300% improvement in it's core profits. - secondly, new investors invested in n2n. Which includes one of the most reputable and largest platform in Japan (sbi holdings). It bought n2n at 1.40 per share from the Andrew tiang (managing director).
Next question. (What's next) - the company is stepping effort to complete it's Asia Trading Hub (ATB) to promote and enhance seamless cross border trading. - in addition they want to tap on sbi ( new investors ) capability to venture in Blockchain technology. Take note they are not investing but more towards providing a platform and earning base on the transactions volume.
Now.. at minimum I guess we need to look at some simple financial instead of focusing on dcf, etc. Which honestly, it's not really important.
1) revenue - 2014 (34mil) and 2019 (105mil). There is not a single drop in revenue from 2014 to 2019. Tbh. I personally like revenue instead of looking at profit. 2) profit margin - approximately 10% average. Well maybe consider average. 3) cash - Net cash position. Alot of investors use cash - borrowings to consider net cash. To me, I am Abit more conservative. I take cash minus all liabilities (I mean in the end liabilities are liabilities. You will still need to pay them of regardless of accounts payable,etc.) They have around 120 million cash (including liquid securities) and total liability of 47 million. Which give them 73 million net cash. 4) pe ratio - not that convincing for many investors. Even to me. But ultimately, peg is more important.. what's their forward pe. Giving most conservative of earning 50 earning per share for one year and a forward pe of 15 would give us 75 cents ( 36% margin of safety). But when economy recovers again, their earning and pe should be given a higher valuation. Look at Penta, eforce, even at this unprecedented scenario, they are trading at 20/30 times. 5) % of cash and securities over asset is around 40%. Believe it or not, it's the largest asset component by proportion. In bursa, it would be hard or even tough to find such company. They are basically asset light and cash rich asset model. Basically one of my main criteria in investing.
The downside of course will be sbi investors pulling out their initial investment, and lower trading volumes due to uncertainties. $KLSE-N2N
The Japanese(currently 15.322% holding) will keep on selling till zero. As the Japs have totally loss of confidence in Andrew Tiang. So we just have to keep our faith in N2N & Tiang's vision moving forward. Share $ will keep falling. Hopefully to 0.740 the next 2 days, so that I can buy more
actually n2n is just in charge of developing an asian trading platform. the crytocurrency part is SBI responsibility. but malaysia cryto regulatory guideline like snail, so SBI have to also invest in another cryto-player to continue the momentum (cuz first mover is important). Nevertheless, once SBI fully develops the cryto part, there is likelihood they will merge it with Asia trading hub.
This is most under perform stock. fundamentally reasonably profitable. net cash of about 100 million. About 20 % revenue is from fees earned from broking houses based on volume of daily turnover. Business is generated from malaysia (40%) while balance from hongkong and few other asian countries.
Company new Asia trading platform covering malaysia, hong kong, singapore, thailand,indonesia and philippine for trading of shares and other derivatives will spur growth going forward. Oh. Not to mention Japan
NOt to mention application to transfer listing from ace mkt to main board should be approved anytime . U guess will their coming coming June quarter profit be good??.
