@Limayseng - when market are falling off the cliff everyday it not easy n some here bought low so in order to protect their paper gains n capital selling is the logical thing to do. beside everyone is different, some can hold,some can't some thought it's better to stay sideline some found better stocks some even take the opportunity to buy etc so no right or wrong. anyway, health is wealth n if is affecting any holders like Iboonk79 by all means stay out. market will always be here :) it's not easy for me either even though I have the advantages of holding for a longer period of time. but based on my experience thru the years if you're investing in good companies most times u will always end up well. here I share with you this wise man article - of course we wish we have his $$$ but he too starts from scratch so for those holding we hope this rebound though it looks like technical can be sustained n for those who already out when u get a chance n market stable feel free to come n join us back :) http://www.marketwatch.com/story/warren-buffett-isnt-worried-about-this-market-2014-10-16
Just remember this when markets are jittery n bad news all over most people are nervous n some r downright irrational - they will sell at first opportunity then ask q later. just last month when the good results were out but market was not good MMSV was hovering low n actually drop a bit - mid/low 40s but when the market turn better thereafter we see this shot up past 60 n also kena UMA n now market is weak so stock also koyak but if u believe in the fundamental of this company u should not worry too much but even take the opportunity to collect :)
down also will kena UMA if the vol is too heavy n down by much but overall market all also down how to give UMA - otherwise 950 out of 1000 stock will get it LOL - UMA is like a 'recognition' now especially the 'going up' UMA LOL - Used to be BAD NEWS but now days most stock juz shrugged it off when they kena :)
The DOW correction not yet finish, advice that monitor closely when you buy in any stock. Need to study for the company first, but MMSV is a very good company. Just stuck because of side influen of world wide market correction. We can buy any stock anytime, but in bad condition time better wait for good timing then go in again.
Sunny outlook for MMS Ventures, Elsoft Research Both Penang-based companies which provide test solutions for LEDs post strong Q2 financial results MMS Ventures Bhd and Elsoft Research Bhd, both in the light-emitting diode (LED) tester busi- ness, have reported strong earnings in their latest financial results, boosting their share prices as analysts have an optimistic outlook for the industry. Early this month, MMS Ventures and Elsoft shares hit a year-to-date high of 62 sen and RM1.79 respectively. The recent selldown saw MMS Ventures’ share price correct to close at 40.5 sen on Oct 15 – still more than double the 19.5 sen at the start of this year, while Elsoft ended the day at RM1.20, up 76.2% from 68 sen on Jan 2. Commenting on the good run since July, MMS Ventures group corporate finance officer Lim Phaik Hoon tells FocusM the uptrend has been due to its stellar 1H2014 financial results. MMS Ventures is a holding company with subsidiaries Evolusys Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and Micro Modular System Sdn Bhd involved in the man- ufacture of industrial automation sys- tems, design of die sets, jigs and fixtures as well as development of computer software. Elsoft provides products and services including advanced electronic-system design, system-software engineering and algorithm development. Both Penang-based companies pro- vide test solutions for LEDs in all kinds of electronic and electrical appliances, and their similarities are reflected in the strong Q2 ended June 30 financial results. MMS Ventures registered a 64% jump in net profit to RM3.26 mil from RM1.99mil in the previous correspond- ing quarter. Revenue increased 31.38% to RM11.64 mil fromRM8.73 mil. Elsoft reported a 32.31% increase in Smart devices such as smartphones are seen as a growing market MMS Ventures’ headquarters in Bayan Lepas, Penang by Ooi Chia Shen net profit to RM6.96 mil from RM5.26 mil the year before, on the back of a 37.90% rise in revenue to RM15.16 mil. Both companies attribute the improvement in their earnings to in- creased orders for machines from the LED industry that have translated into higher sales. Having switched its focus from semiconductors to LEDs in the past two years, MMS Ventures’ Lim says the in- dustry has been on a robust trend since. She is upbeat the favourable outlookwill continue. According to the last financial re- sults, the domestic market accounted for 53.63% of MMS Ventures’ earnings while the rest came fromexport markets like the US, Europe, Australia and Asia. Elsoft attributes 70%of its total earn- ings to the localmarket, with the balance fromTaiwan, China andThailand. “Most of our major clients are multinational companies and Asia is
Oct 18-24, 2014 | FocusM 17 MAINSTREAM the world’s biggest LED producer; thus by having some of these MNCs as our clients, we can be quite positive about our growth,” says Elsoft group CEO Tan Cheik Aik. Though MMS Ventures and Elsoft may indirectly be competitors, espe- cially in the local market, MMS Ventures CEO Sia Teik Keat says the company would not consider joint ventures or strategic alliances with the latter unless a customer asks for both their services. Elsoft’s Tan, meanwhile, says the company has a good relationship with MMS Ventures and considers any com- petitive aspect insignificant, as Elsoft focuses on LED testing activities while MMS Ventures covers segments such as producing machinery, systems and inspection testers for themanufacturing line. “Providing tester solutions in the LED industry covers only 30% of our total business portfolio,” says Sia. None- theless, Sia and Tan are optimistic on the LED industry, as are market observers and global players. “Market demand in this area [LEDs] is still relatively strong, particularly from the automotive industry,” RHB research says in a Sept 5 report. It expects Elsoft to grow, with orders to date amounting to RM30 mil. The Semiconductor Industry Asso- ciation (SIA), representing American leadership in semiconductor manufac- ture and design, announced on Oct 6 that worldwide sales of semiconductors had reached US$28.4 bil (RM92.61 bil) for August, an increase of 9.4% from the US$26 bil recorded a year earlier and 1.3% higher than the preceding month’s US$28.1 bil. “Demand is strong across nearly all semiconductor product categories and the industry has now posted sequential monthly growth for six consecutive months,” says SIA president and CEO Brian Toohey. MIDF Research, in an Oct 7 report, says sales are expected to perform well for the remaining part of this year, supported by strong growth in the Americanmarket. Smart-device market expanding On stiff competition from overseas markets especially China and Taiwan, Elsoft’s Tan says the company is shifting its focus fromgeneral appliances for the LED segment in these markets to smart devices and the automotive industry. He says smart devices such as smartphones are a growing market and is confident this market will expand in line with the technology trend. Elsoft’s business focus comprises smart devices, the automotive industry and general appliances. “The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics organisation now forecasts a 6.5% yoy advance in global semicon- ductor sales for 2014,” TA Securities Research says in a recent report. “This will be driven by the smartphone, tablet and automotive segments. With a better industry outlook on the cards, we be- lieve this bodes well in terms of demand for services from local semiconductor manufacturing companies.” On the other hand, a report from CIMB Research says communications revenue is the biggest contributor, making up about 29% of the Malaysian semiconductor sector’s revenue. “This is not a surprise, given the seg- ment has grown steadily in recent years, driven by the increasing penetration of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, compared to other market segments,” the report adds. The RHB Research Institute says Elsoft has taken measures to diversify into medical equipment by capitalising on its core competence in embedded control systems by applying them to the medical-equipment market. “Based on our channel checks, the pricing of each of these machines varies from as low as RM2,000 to as high as RM7,000. This new income stream, in our view, will help spur the company’s FY15-FY16 earnings growth,” the re- search house adds
I think the worst is over.....the trend is technical rebound after the serious heavy oversold....now , they are in no hurry to replenish the stocks back in their coffers slowly yet steadily and to create another bull run come Nov 2014-may 2015 which has been predicted by fund managers in US .
Beautiful Monday. US Friday close up 263 points. EUROPE all up.....DAX up 267 point, FTSE MIB up 618 points, FTSE 100 up 114 pionts Monday Malaysia KLSE sure fly high......go go go
Let's look at some numbers for MMSV at a conservative price of RM0.50, to determine whether it is just a speculative counter or otherwise:
1) Market capitalization will only be RM81.50mil (USD25.00mil), a very cheap acquisition target for large multinational LED manufacturing companies looking for vertical integration, i.e. controlling the full value chain. 2) High economic moats/competitive advantage/technological edge evident via high net profit margin of 24.50%. 3) Trailing 4 quarters P/E of only 11.74x, very cheap for a high growth technology stock (see point 4). 4) Y-o-y net profit growth of over 60.53% (estimated based on 2q 2014 vs preceding year). 5) PEG of only 0.19x, still a good margin under the PEG for growth stocks at 1.00x (anything under 1.00x is considered undervalued). 6) P/B of only 3.33x compared to 5x of Inari. 7) Surprisingly, the counter offers a dividend yield of 2.00%, very generous for a small high growth tech stock. 8) ROE of 28.40%, only trailing Inari and Datasonic in my list of technology manufacturers. 9) Price of RM0.50 still at a 16.66% discount from peak. 10) 12.44% of its market capitalization is net cash.
All these based on assumption share price is RM0.50. In conclusion, this company is backed by very strong fundamentals and should appeal to long term value investors/fundamentalist. It is not just full of hot air.
If the company is able to sustain its growth momentum in the following quarterly results, I believe the company should be valued at at least RM0.77 pegged to PEG of 0.30x (71% upside from current levels).
Disclaimer: I am an owner of MMSV shares with entry cost of RM0.21.
yktay1. I m absolutely astonished by your holding power and resistance to short trem gain temptation. I think very few bought at 0.2x still holding now. A silent man is a dangerous man......
