Next qtr must be due out anytime now and likely to be good result , hence, price surge !!! B very careful now as it looks over price and profit taking very likely ???
(A) Company Background -GuocoLand (GLM) is the property arm of Hong Leong Group, with an established presence of over 50 years in property development and hotel operations in Malaysia.
-GLM also owns GLM REIT Management which is the manager of Tower REIT, listed in Main Market of Bursa. Tower REIT owns 3 prime commercial buildings (Menara HLA, Menara ING & HP Towers) and 2 hotels (Thistle JB and Thistle Port Dickson Resort). Currently, GLM effectively owns 22% of Tower REIT.
(B) Shareholders Guocoland Limited (Listed in SGX) – 65% Guocoland Malaysia (ESOS) – 4.4% Tha Bank of Nova Scotia – 3.1% Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan – 2.8%
-As you can see, Tan Sri and related parties have owned more than 75% in the company, free float is thin here.If you look at Tan Sri's other long term investment like HLIND/ HLCAP and NARRA, their share price had done exceptionally well for the past 2 year.
(C) Current and upcoming launches Developers are moving out of central KL to places like Semenyih, Kajang, Sg Buloh and Rawang. This position definitely benefits Guocoland as they own land in Kajang, Sg Buloh and Rawang.
Rawang (50% JV basis) (i) The Rise (180 bungalow lots at RM1.6m – RM4.7m) (ii) Emerald Gardens (161 units of superlink houses) (iii) Peridot (65 bungalow lots) – sold out (iv) Amberley (semi-detached homes) – sold out (v) Coris (double storey houses) – sold out (vi) Coral (double storey houses) – sold out
Damansara City One of the Guocoland’s upcoming flagship project in Damansara Heights. The iconic landmark (8.5 acres) will include 2 luxury condominium blocks, 2 corporate office towers, a lifestyle mall and international-class hotel. According to a recent report by the edge, the response of pre-launch of DC Residency is good. I would expect the condos to be fully taken up within a year. The project is expected to have GDV of RM2.5b.
Amandarii Kajang - 33 units of 2-storey bungalows
Sepang (40% JV basis) Huge piece of land (4,800 acres) where 1,200 acres will be allocated to develop the Pantai Sepang Putra project with residential development
Melaka (50% JV basis) Guocoland has announced they will increase stake in their JV company, Continental Estate Sdn Bhd which owns the 3,869 acres land in Melaka. The company’s capital structure consists of ordinary shares and convertible preference shares. A back to envelope calculation shows that the company is worth at least RM480m. There will be definitely be potential upside from this deal as Guoco is planning to develop this piece of land soon.
(D) Financial analysis
Revenue Since last year, Guocoland has registered a strong growth of 130% in their revenue due to a few launches that has done pretty well. I expect Guocoland’s revenue to go higher from here as they desire to complete Damansara City’s project in 2016. A RM2.5b GDV by Damansara City will register total annual revenue close to RM800m for the next 3 years (assuming the mall/hotels and offices are sold to third party). Revenue may hit RM1b in FY2016 if all these materialise.
Contribution by JV JV contribution has slowed down abit due to a massive launches in Rawang for the past 2 years. However, there are still huge landmark sitting in Emerald East and West waiting to be develop. With the addition of possibly launches in Melaka and Sepang for the next 1-2 years, earnings contributed by JV would set to double or triple in FY2016.
Contribution by associate The major contribution in this segment is Guoco’s 22% interest in Tower Reit. Expect to remain flat.
PATMI Profit after tax and minority interest have shown more than 50% growth in the past 2 years. Using a PAT margin of 15%, we could expect contribution from Damansara City alone would easily generates RM100m annually for the next 3 years.With the projects mentioned above, Guocoland could easily register RM150m in FY2015-2016.
(E) Valuation In this case, the company did not mention most of its upcoming development and potential GDVs for their projects, thus we use per square feet basis to value
Lottolearn, who is ur sifu.. Ur sifu smart.. Get to know whom to follow.. Today guocoland another greenlight day.. Cheers klgemseeker.. Alrdy bookmarked his blog.. Huat
An RNAV play. Primarily, our RNAV is driven by revaluation on its landbank, investment property and inventory value to market prices. Only DC’s project is valued based on DCF of its future profits. Thus, our valuations are conservative as we are opting for land-driven RNAVs rather than assuming full development value of each landbanks. We derive an RNAV of RM5.89 and assume a steep 50% discount (higher than our average discount applied on developers of 31%) to derive a TP of RM2.95. We recommend that investors buy on weakness as we strongly believe that Guocoland is severely undervalued. Trading BUY.
This is a no brainer but as with most value traps, its best to ignore them unless there are catalysts. However, there are reasons to believe the wheels have started with Guocoland which will make them a fantastic short to medium term hold. Bearing in mind the RNAV is closer to RM6.00.
Reasons/Catalysts
a) It appears Quek is on his way to restructure many of his companies. He did it with Narra/cement, and there are whispers that Southern Steel will follow after Guocoland.
b) The botched privatisation of HLG Capital thwarted by Dr Yu of YNH Property would lend a lot of credence to the belief that if Quek wants to do a privatisation this time, it would not be a half wait and see tactic. The last thing he wants is another Dr Yu into the fray in his quest to take Guocoland private.
c) Even more than HLG Capital, Guocoland is all the more important for it to be taken private with its resplendent landbank and deep uncorked value.
d) So, either you do smthg quickly, ... you do not want to be wishy washy and make a low offer, or worse,.. no offer... all the while when you can see someone is playing or accumulating your stock.
