CAB prospect "the management will undertake measures to minimize the adverse impact from this fallout although the prospect of the Group’s business in the coming months is not expected to be favourable."
CAB poultry business 2.5 time bigger than Dindings poultry, based on last quarter CAB make loss after tax of RM7.8mil, but Dindings incur an operation losses of RM 24.7 mil(this is yet include finance interest).
What do you think if Dindings book in its entire CAPEX coming quarter? What will the bottom line looks like? I'm pretty sure the processing plant are yet to be capitalize as at 4th quarter 2019.
The flour side Malaysia operation achieve very lean profit margin. Base on the annual report, 2019 PAT all come from Vietnam (Vietnam profit-Malaysia-Indo=RM43mil).
Better stay away, I was asking people stay away since April 2019 when the price at RM0.80-RM0.82. You can check back my previous comment.
I am not sure about the taste but I noe wheat price fall to record low. Grain, corn, soy also. If wheat price fall, cost fall hence margin higher. Plus Flour is essential and Mflour continued operations during MCO.
Due to the uncertain impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world and domestic economic environment, volatile commodities prices and foreign exchange, the Board is unable to provide a clear indication on the Group’s performance in 2020 at this moment.
Give you guys another hint why Dinding can't compete with Leong Hup, CAB and Huat Lai, because of "PRICE". As I mention year or two ago, Dinding poultry product breakeven price is about RM4.20, if the live bird price is below RM4.50 Mflour poultry sector is making losses. As simple as that.

Mflour suffer huge losses from its poultry business, new processing plant is live, depreciation is on, no demand for its product.

The same advice from me, stay away from this counter, coming quarter is worst than previous quarter due to additional capex book in. My feeling tell me so as most company practice to capitalize their asset 1st or 2nd quarter since it's not capitalize in 4th quarter 2019. 15/05/2020 9:41 PM
from AmResearch report in Feb2020: Earnings of the flour division climbed by 74.0% to RM114.7mil in FY19 from RM65.9mil in FY18 on the back of higher selling prices of non-GP (general purpose) flour products. EBIT margin was 5.7% in FY19 against 3.7% in FY18. About 95% of MFM’s flour products comprise nonGP flour products.
dividend yield 5-6% at current level (based on 3 sen dividend in Fy19)
Last month live chicken price is at RM4.50 and they depreciate their biological asset for 8million, now chicken price back to RM7.00. I wonder how much they will evaluate back their asset for next QR?
yes chinoo - impairment loss, depreciation of asset and foreign exchange loss quite a lot, flour business is ok, poultry still making loss..... see how Q2 goes....
the thing is their flour business have been covering most of the losses from poultry. They ventured in poultry sector in recent years but managed to be the supplier for McDonald and Texas Chicken. not bad right. Fast food franchise have been also opening throughout MCO period.
If I were to choose a semi-poultry company that is going to weather through this period, Mflour is my top choice. But who knows stock price could fly up like LCTitan after a poor result. hehe
Mflour already depreciate their chickens stock for RM8mil, chicken price was rm5.xx, if later chicken price back to rm7++, they should report RM8mil or more profit next QR!
@escanor999 - simple. because stock market looks ahead. higher chicken price boils well for the company's poultry business, flour demand should be high too . QR report is backdated (end Mar 2020)
. For those who cannot understand the business impact of covid-19 pandemic, move your savings to FD to earn some interest while maintaining your capital. Equity markets bounced to report some losses during MCO accept those pandemic driven stocks like Top Glove. The coming quarters results that count! Good Luck!
