If you managed to look past all the corporate exercises, you will see that Advance Synergy is still a company that has under delivered in terms of profit to its shareholders. FY18 marks the 7th consecutive years of losses made by the company. Excluding the RM5.2mil gain on disposal of subsidiary and the RM6.1mil fair value gain on venture investment portfolio, the company net losses to shareholders would have been more than -RM10mil. With the still challenging operating environment in FY19 (mainly the hotel, tourism and IT industries), investors need to prepared for another loss making year in FY19.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 6.7x PE based on FY18 profit of RM166mil. PB is low at only 0.7x BV.
FY19 should deliver another profit growth year to the company. Profit growth will again be driven by the performance of Perodua (via MBMR 22.6% holdings in Perodua) from the still strong sales of new Myvi, sales of SUV Aruz and the introduction of the newly revamp Alza sometime in the 2H19. Aruz which commands a higher margin compared to other models, will help improve the total profit margin of Perodua (which will flow to MBMR’s bottom line as well).
MBMR is expected to achieve a profit of RM200mil in 2019. At the current share price, the company is being valued at only 5.6x which is a lot lower than the industry average of 15x PE. As an example, UMW (another company with exposure to Perodua) is currently trading at a PE multiple of almost 20x.
(ASB) has agreed to sell its factory and warehouse in Shah Alam, Selangor to a unit of Mapletree Dextra Pte Ltd for RM124mil cash.Proceeds from the proposed disposal will be utilised to repay loans and refurbish the group’s hotels and a newly acquired commercial building, ASB said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday.
“The proposed disposal provides an opportunity for the group to unlock the immediate value of the property at a value higher than the property’s net book value,” it said
5 years ago Calvin Tan Research calculated the Shah Alam property should be worth rm130 millions if revalued
Now news is out
Asb Shah Alam property has been sold to Singapore investor for Rm124 millions
So there is only a small 6% deviation from Calvin's forecast (not bad considering the real estate market is in doldrum now
How much profit will the sale of Rm124 millions garner?
Original cost is rm31 millions
So profit is a whopping rm80 millions
Or about 8 sen net profit
AT 15 sen now with 8 sen net profit it means more than 50% paid up capital
Now MUI bhd is also selling Corus hotel for rm1 billions (but Mui Bhd has about Rm750 millions debt)
Asb is excellent as it is almost debt free considering it has good cash position
MUI Bhd is good But at 15 sen with Nta of 45 sen Asb looks like exceptional
Asb bought 3 assets lately
1. A 5 storey commercial building near Batu Road in Kl. This one has good facing and excellent location
Can be converted into a hotel cum serviced apartment and Co sharing office. Can see by Google map
2. A 4 storey commercial building in Glenmarie. Another building in superb location fronting double lane highway
Directly opposite is the Proton Car Showroom This is a busy hot area with cars parking even on the pavements See in Google map
3. Beaver Hotel This old hotel has a champion location in the very heart of London Sure can add value by management A fair purchase after beating 4 other contending bidders
All these will make ASB into a Reit like stock with secured revenue, income and hopefully better dividends in coming years
Maybe Calvin can comment on how he gets his 200% return on ALL those stocks he promoted in 2019 alone. These are actually figures from his blogs, date that he promoted them and the current results.
See Calvin how easy that was? Maybe you can tell us how much you put in each stock so we really know how much money you lost. Then I can gauge where you are really getting your investment income from.
Calvin post in 2015 then ASB what price and today 14 sen can make money?
Posted by calvintaneng > Jan 16, 2015 12:45 PM | Report Abuse What nothing happened in Mui Bhd? Calvin and Johor Buddies bought Mui at 15 CENTS. MUI THEN POWERED UP 100% TO CROSS 30 CENTS GO AND CHECK IT OUT
You so clever to see history of Calvin's postings in Asb forum so many years ago?
Sifu Peter Lynch bought and sold over 2,000 shares.
For some he bought and sold 3 or 4 times in their cyclical rounds just like Calvin bought and sold Prestar and Masteel in their cyclical up and cyclical down
If your forecast is chun chun , you can be the world richest man , no need to bark in others forum and scolded like street dog ...... better back to Singapore , do not go to Ipoh lo...beware Ipoh city council
In total numbers Asb has more Hotels than MUI Group. Only MUI Group combined total value might match Asb's. Both Mui Bhd and Asb are extremely undervalue
So, if we put a conservative value of RM70 mil per owned hotel, then that already means that ASB owns at least RM700 mil of hotel assets in Malaysia alone.
Asb has tried to change strategy to include serviced long term Apt stays and also coshared office with services to change with changing times. Also its resorts in special locations should still be ok as it caters to different demand. Asb also going into IT. Its Captii bhd in Singapore is doing fine
