the market did not like the recent announcement of MMC's purchase in either the 50% stake in Boustead Cruise Centre or/and Retro Highlands. I honestly do not like it either. but i see that acquisition is relatively small to other deeper value that MMC has.
last time, back in 2009 the market also did not like MMC foray in land purchase in Senai too. it was deemed risky and expensive.
i think the market overreacted. It is not a loss. It is an investment. All investment comes with a risk. You can make profit. Yet to know. I think the selldown was overdone. But we all know this : “The market is a pendulum that forever swings between unsustainable optimism (which makes stocks too expensive) and unjustified pessimism (which makes them too cheap). The Intelligent Investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.”
If move above 1.03 then can expect higher, end of this month may able to close at the range between 1.12-1.15, if can't then my see 0.94 - 0.97, if move down first then kasi top up more.
I do not like the 2 recent transactions, but luckily their size are not big enough, as pointed out by beluga, to be a big drag. So long as there is no more transactions to keep reminding people of the past acquisition-related bad memory, I guess buyers will come back eventually because the stock is really "cheap" on various fundamental metrics.
JP01. The recent sell off is an opportunity for collecting cheaper stock and the response is good. Trading volume of 20 odd million today shows not many are willing to sell. Looks like the new support level should be 1.00. Let's wait till end of the week to see whether the support level is confirmed
Based on report of CGS CIMB I sighted, MMC was listed, among top 10 stocks, as the 3rd top selling volume done by retail investors (RM23.4m) between 15 to 19 May. On selling by investment institution, MMC was not listed in their top 10 list.
Selling by retail players are almost subsiding or over soon...hopefully price will move up slowly again...a matter of time...meanwhile wait for dividend announcement.
MMC Port would be joining Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care Sdn. and credit reporting agency CTOS Holdings Sdn Bhd as well as glove makers Harps Holdings Sdn Bhd and Smart Glove Corp. in considering an IPO in Malaysia in 2021.
"...BCC has total assets worth RM313mn as at Dec-19. Meanwhile, based on the independent valuer report, the land has a potential value of RM250mn. As such, the purchase consideration of RM230mn is a real bargain. Note that Boustead acquired BCC for a total purchase consideration of RM310mn in 2014.
the joint acquisition was proposed by Northport. This acquisition is expected to complement MMC’s (the holding company of Northport) cruise terminal business in Penang by adding Kuala Lumpur and Klang as points of attraction for cruise operators. ..."
I welcome all the retailer sell all their share now. It is because the more u sell, the faster it will go up. So what u waiting for., sell your share now!!
Most people did not take the back to back acquisition of the cruise business (announced last friday) and the property developer (announced on monday) that well. But these acquisitions are actually relatively small vs the group overall size. And both are actually strategic value accretive in the mid to long run. The affect to balance sheet would be minimal. For example the acquisition of Retro Highland is only expected to be completed in 3Q21. And payment will be made in 4 phases. In 2021 a total of rm100 mil, another rm100mil in 2022 and the last rm50 mil in 2023. So it would not affect the balance sheet that much.
The other thing to take note is that MMC is by far the cheapest port operator in Bursa. Assuming a profit of rm600mil in 2021, at the current price, it is only trading at around 5x PE. The closest competitor which is westport is trading at above 20x. Even the next cheapest port operator, Suria Capital, is trading at 10x PE. Another smaller port operator Bintulu Port is trading at a multiple of 20x PE. This is not normal given that MMC is actually the largest port operator in Malaysia with more than 21 mil TEU capacity annually vs Wesport of around 14mil TEU.
