Through my many interactions with them, i have a strong confidence in their thought processes and business thinking, so its quite likely they have found a way to do it very well, likely via certain fruits/vegetables/herbs, that have very different margin profile etc, due to different methods of growth, geographic constraints, supply/demand mismatch etc.

To be honest, I am not a fan of indoor farming or vertical farming or whatever they call it. Most greenhouse farming simply doesn't work. I am still holding MFCB and will continue to do so, I hope if things doesn't work out, they will shut it down. But I hope they succeed.
I hope they are smart enough to plant Herbs, Onions, Mushrooms and etc. Dont compete with those in Cameroon, compete with food we import, if they are able to scale, our gov might help out without hurting the small farmers in Malaysia.
why would it be crazy? you can say slightly higher but crazy is too crazy. almost 90% profit is from their hydro. unless all the other subsidiaries grow at exponential rate, unlikely to be crazy. hydro power gen already somewhat max.
I own MFCB too, i call super crazy high profit for next QR pure BS. Most likely they will sign a new deal, probably extension from 25 years to 30? who knows. if you read the report, you know 90% profit from hydro, no more room to grow.

Yes, MFCB is having a good meteoric rise this year. Few days ago, I did a calc for Insas' CAGR, also checked on MFCB over a 10 year period. The results are much better than Insas. Will find time to post the results, maybe over the coming weekend. Happy Trading and TradeAtYourOwnRisk.
Food Security Division As of the end of FY2023, the cumulative planted area of our plantation in Cambodia totalled an estimated 2,560 hectares, comprising 1,830 hectares of coconuts and 730 hectares of macadamias. The coconut trees will progressively reach commercial scale maturity starting from 2024, while the macadamia trees are expected take another 1-2 years to reach the same. After careful consideration, we have opted to concentrate on harvesting flower sap of the coconut trees, and refining it into coconut sugar products, including syrup and granulated sugar. This strategic choice is motivated by the scarcity of pure, unadulterated coconut sugar products in both industrial and retail markets, alongside a steady and expanding global demand (forecasted CAGR: 4.8% from 2018-2030). This market potential is underpinned by the superior health benefits of coconut sugar compared to refined white sugar. We are confident that leveraging the capacity of our plantation presents a significant opportunity to meet the burgeoning global demand for coconut sugar products. Upon reaching maximum harvest capacity, we anticipate establishing ourselves as the largest and foremost fully integrated company dedicated to coconut sugar products worldwide. Looking ahead, our commitment remains steadfast in nurturing and expanding the Food Security Division to make a substantial contribution to the Group’s long-term earnings, whether through expansion, diversification or strategic acquisitions

Good highlight, Nepo. Can't wait to ask them more about the venture into coconut sugar biz in the coming AGM / quarterly briefing. Wondering how much revenue they are expecting from this venture. According to this report the top 3 players are having between USD169m - 260m revenue. https://www.globalmarketmonitor.com/report_blog/1861531.html
Maybank's valuation did not ascribe any value to the new ventures. The company is reinvesting the cash to grow and at the same time giving out decent dividend. Why sell?
https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/712541 Mega First Corp Bhd (KL:MFCB), which is involved in renewable energy sales, limestone quarrying and packaging, said its first quarter net profit rose 35.32% to RM95.46 million from RM70.55 million a year earlier amid a significant improvement at its resource division.
The higher earnings were also attributed to a one-time boost from fire insurance compensation. The group said it recognised RM22.39 million in insurance income for the fire incident in its flexible plastic packaging factory.
Y-o-Y Group’s profit after tax and non-controlling interest (“PATNCI”) rose 35.3% from RM70.5 million to RM95.5 million. “Normalised” Group PATNCI (by excluding share of joint ventures and associates’ results, and non-operational one-off items) grew 22.4% from RM79.5 million to RM97.4 million.
Q-o-Q Excluding joint ventures and associates, and one-off items in both periods, the Group's normalised PATNCI remained flat quarter-on-quarter at RM98.2 million (compared to RM98.7 million in 4Q2023). This was achieved despite seasonally lower hydro energy sales, underscoring the earnings strength of the Group's core operations and the positive impact of increased effective equity interest in DSPC.
How was it a bad quarter? In fact if you follow the Company closely you will know that they will do well this year with the increased effective stake in DSPC and the upcoming 5th turbine running in second half. And next year it will be even more exciting with the Food Security Division plus additional capacity coming from packaging division.
@hopetobecorrect, yes you right, in fact there is another clause which says the tariff will be adjusted downward at 10th year if I not mistake. The management did highlight the new CA is more favourable to the Company, lets see how it goes.
Anyway, irregardless of the terms of the CA, to me the value proposition of MFCB is about the capable management team who know how to reinvest the strong cashflow and enhance the shareholder value. Bet the jockey :)
The poor financial position of the Laos government is not something new. The management has explained this many times. Actually, the off-taker for the power generated is Cambodia. As long as Cambodia is paying, MFCB will also get paid. Moreover, the payment is in USD.”
“We have nurtured the food security division over the last 10 years and we think it has turned a corner. We are likely to see a bigger contribution from the division, so we are going to carve it out and show it as one of our core businesses,” MFCB non-independent, non-executive director Yeow See Yuen tells The Edge in a recent interview. - https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/716525
