I almost let go GK at 0.75 today but thinking Musa can get off the hook, so must be JibGor. Opportunity for GK is there.

Haha,
Philip still cannot get over with his selling of 2 million Topgolv for RM 17+ million. And now had to go every forum to tell everyone topglov is now highly goreng stock.
He should had followed what he preach, make decision to sell or buy only after studying the quarterly financial report.

https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kianweiaritcles/2020-06-09-story-h1508701600-Top_Glove_s_Quarterly_Results_The_Bellwether_SalvadorDali.jsp
Now's the turn of the bellwether Top Glove, its quarterly to be announce on Thursday. Its for the quarter ended May 2020. Top Glove prides itself for being one of the swiftest to announce their quarterly. However 11th June was an even faster date compared to previous quarters: 17 Dec and 19 Mar. It has to be probable very good news that Top Glove wanted to shout it out to the world. Bearing in mind it has an additional two months of heady business compared to Supermax, analysts have been quite positive.

So what would be a decent expectation. The way Top Glove's price has been behaving around RM16-17 indicates that we are factoring at least 150%-200% jump in NP. Previous quarter's NP was RM116m, hence expectations will be around RM290m-348m or EPS of 11.3 sen - 13.5 sen. Annualise that = 45.2 sen - 54 sen. At RM18.00, PER would be 39.8x - 33x. Still within the realm of reasonableness. If we do not get RM280m in net profit, I suspect there will be a sharper sell down back to RM13.00-RM14.00. If its higher than RM360m, that should pave the way to march past RM20.00.

Sslee, why you keep following me around like a lost puppy? You cannot keep to your own self? Or you also another sour grapes that did not even buy any glove stocks when everyone else did?

Posted by Philip ( buy what you understand) > 2020-06-10 16:34 | Report Abuse

Btw you gave up your chance to make 50% returns from GKENT and sold early below 60 cents please don't blame me. You bought at 46 cents sell at cheap cheap trading price waiting for more discounts to come... Now you lost 100%+ returns in topgloves, 50% returns in gkent, PCHEM 50% returns and so many more. But I guess... You are still waiting for that big discount.

Good luck in your investment.

Now comment on something that you know about, like the future of INSAS and INARI.

Haha Philip,
I am asking myself why I like to follow Philip around?
1. I’m boring and got nothing better to do.
2. I want to learn something new from Philip.
3. I am jealous of Philip success and try finding fault with Philip.
4. I have my concern for Philip and want him to be happy
5. I have fun time reminding Philip his failure to keep his 2 million Topglov a month longer cost him 16 million and seeing him blowing his top
6. Maybe I try to tell Philip his QL is overpriced.
7. Maybe I try to tell Philip after all we are human and as human we are bound to make mistakes
8. Maybe I just want to get his attention so that he will invite me to Bah Kut Teh together with CharlesT and Stockraider.
9. Or maybe I also do not know why?

George Kent - Multiple Downside Risks
Author: HLInvest | Publish date: Wed, 17 Jun 2020, 8:58 AM
Forecast. We cut our FY21 earnings by 6.5% after recalibrating progress billings to FY22. Hence, our FY22 earnings increase by 27% upon factoring in higher progress billings and margin normalisation. We introduce FY23 earnings forecast of RM30m.

Maintain SELL, TP: RM0.52. Despite our view of a likely resuscitation of pump priming initiatives by the government, we reckon earnings downside risks remain aplenty should job awards not materialise to arrest a quickly thinning orderbook. Suspension of its dividend payments should also amplify risks to the downside. Maintain SELL with a slightly higher TP of RM0.52 (from RM0.50) after switching our valuation methodology from SOP to PE method due to its shrinking earnings base in both segments. Our TP is derived from pegging FY22EPS to 6.6x PE multiple (-1SD below 3-year mean).

So Philip forecast of RM 20 million earning per quarter is now way out with HLInvest earnings forecast?

Haha,
From RHB.

TP still at MYR0.50. Our FY21-23F earnings remain largely unchanged (-2%/-1%/2%). We maintain our ascribed target P/E of 5.5x for FY22F (at -1SD from its 5-year mean). The stock lacks visible re-rating catalysts, given the unfavourable ripple effect caused by the recent oil price collapse, leading to greater uncertainty on the Government’s ability to fund infrastructure spending, and unclear policy imperatives.

Key upside risks include stability in the macro economy, a positive outcome for water reforms, higher-than-expected earnings contributions from the LRT3 project, and further wins in water-related infrastructure construction.

So sad, cannot compete with QL, now want to compare with GKENT?

FYI, LRT3 progress completion and claim only at 24%. If you want to compare at least look at it after LRT3 completion when all the profit comes in.

Look at the wording, what is key upside risks? Why is upside a risk?

All their bearish calculations suddenly do not take LRT3 earnings contribution into the picture.

Why?

That is the equation that leaves wanting from the rhb TP.

But since you are now a trader instead of a long term INVESTOR, I dont think you will care about lrt3 contributions at all.

All the more for me.

As for QL waiting to see how mush earning drop Q4 January to March 2020 follow by Q1 April to June 2020.
Based on past 5 years quarterly data, our average seasonal earnings index is as follows:
Q1 April to June 0.21
Q2 July to September 0.27
Q3 October to December 0.28
Q4 January to March 0.24

Already told you guys to sell Gkent earlier as its skill only in water meter

Its construction arm is only a conduit to get job and sub to others like alibaba rent-seeking scheme

With MO1 in trouble now game over. On its own merit Gkent will find it very very difficult to secure new job

See Gkent now

Then go buy these ones to protect your wealth

1) WTK
2) TEXCHEM
3) NAIM

Final decision is yours

So Philip sold 2 million of Gkent at 66 cents on 15 and 16 June each to buy Kpower and SCIB. Had Philip change his mind on: Always look to the future, not the 6 months and 1 year future. But at minimum 3 years and beyond?
16-Jun-2020 Sell GKENT -2,000,000 0.66
15-Jun-2020 Sell GKENT -2,000,000 0.66

Philip ( what you can learn from RJ MITTE ) That is not altogether unreasonable. I believe if you buy the shares today and also at my buying price of 46 cents, the dividends will be safe once the expected 20 million of earnings per quarter from lrt3 progress claim and the 5 million per quarter from mrt2 progress claim comes online.

Here are facts:

1. lrt3 and mrt2 and the 2 hospitals are still running, meaning contracts and their orderbook are firm. Prime minister has already guaranteed payment as these 2 mega projects are feeding thousands of contractors and workers. Hospital handover and final claim + 2 year retention (5% of 500 million project is around 25 million of balance profit) incoming.

2. Lrt3 progress billing was delayed, not cancelled. It will achieve 45% completion by 2020, a huge progress.
https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/mrcbgeorge-kent-aims-complete-o...

3. Gkent main water business is still running on all cylinders with demand more than supply.

4. Gkent is buying back shares aggressively, gkent current outstanding shares dropped from 563 million to 538 million outstanding. I expect gkent to end share buyback around the 500 million nosh mark.

5. Gkent has huge cash load with a history of paying dividends. It paid sustainable dividends, paying out 40 million of 80 million. I believe until 2024 this will be sustainable.

As a reasonable assumption, I receive around 60k in dividends per year from QL. I spent 200k in 2009 buying ql shares, and in total with real cash, dividend reinvestment etc I have put in around 850k into QL. So if I told you that on a cost basis my QL investment gives me 7% dividend every year, would you believe me or consider it an unreasonable assumption.

Always look to the future, not the 6 months and 1 year future. But at minimum 3 years and beyond. Then you can consider yourself really investing, rather than just playing with stocks.

Sslee, if you do not talk about your own buying and selling of stocks, why do you like to comment on others investments decisions?
Especially when you know I bought it at 0.43 and 0.52 and sold it for a very good profit ( on margin loan) at 0.66.

Can you stick to commenting your own investments good results instead?

Too bad insas has no share buybacks, no future guaranteed prospects, and poor long term results.

FYI, I still hold a substantial sum of GKENT.
