Silk is quite a complicated stock to value. Read the analyst report, new shares conversion, loan restructure, toll increase delay, traffic below initial target (revised now), went through PN17, now added with a new business, chartering of OSVs, 4 vessels owned 51%, and recently purchase the balance 49%, occasionally profit drops due to dry docking of vessels. All in all, OSVs business should get an average of RM30 to RM35m p.a. with 19 ships (pretty sure about that).
Depending the PE allocated, it should worth around RM350m. They should sell its toll highway, which is weighing the profits down, however, if anyone wants to buy, an analyst said it is worth RM390m (based on new revised traffic projection), so, why it is traded 50% of the value of the company. Easy, toll roads grows gradually. If they start low, then it will take more years to get back the money, and they just saw its turnaround from losses recently. Next 2-3 years, when you see the growth, including the toll increase (guaranteed by government), you won't be shock to see in 3 years time, it is trading at 90sen or one ringgit when more analysts sees it.
So, this earnings are more predictable and sustainable, long term contract for OSV, increasing toll price and traffic, where to find?
SILK - from a business perspective, it is an undervalue stock, even at 60 sen. Similarly, MP Corp as mentioned by calvintaneng, the land itself (after discounting), is worth about 5 times the markep cap. Some worry about PN17, just sell part of the land and revalue the land, I think there is no PN17 issue. So, what is left is patient and timing.
If I am the major shareholder, I will privatise it. (on assumption the actual land value is 10 times its existing market cap). Just sell the land, take the capital gain and call it a day.
Those who are trapped have no choice but to wait. Set a longer horizon. As long as you know this stocks can grow in EPS (OSV and Toll increase and traffic) + at the moment it is UNDERVALUE in term of OSV biz + Toll biz, the share price will catch up. There is a 80-100% upside from 60sen. For 2-3 years, I think it is worth waiting, even at today's price of 66sen.
To double your money in 1 year is superb. 2 years is excellent. 3 years is great. If it double (from 60sen) in one year, it will be a bonus. If the toll traffic continues to grow in double digits, with the guaranteed by government for increase in toll rate, earnings growth will come in faster. The OSVs pay for the price of the shares, you get a 37km toll road free. So, if it goes down, just accumulate.
Food that the stock did not go up too much, can accumulate more. Where to find a monopoly business (TOLL ROAD) + OSVs (LT Contract) valued at >50% of its intrinsic value. Especially they are growth in the toll traffic + rate (guaranteed).
As for OSV, they have a fleet of 19 ships, almost close to Perdana which market cap is RM1.4bil. Today, Silk's market cap is only about RM300m. Toll road NPV is about RM400m + OSVs (depends how much PE we give). An analyst give it a value of RM400m. So, total market cap is about RM800m vs RM300m today. The toll road per day is 180,000 and the max is 640,000 (27 years left, so, upside is good). Growth of traffic over last 3 years is 10-20% p.a.
good point sos, also the encouraging real estate development in the southern region of klang valley in kajang, semenyih will boost the usage of silk highway.
The recent quarter was down, mainly due to dry docking & timing to despatch the ships. The purchase of 49% remaining of 4 ships has yet to complete, hence, not contributing more. On top of that, they are waiting for delivery of 2 ships. When all the ships are in + the 49%, the contribution from shipping will improve a lot.
As for the toll road, they are recording increase in traffic volume, which is as projected.
SILK's OSVs business can be compared with Perdana which is bigger in size. Perdana is trading at about 15x PE, and SILK in 2015 will bring in RM32m x 15times = RM480m. Plus its toll biz, about RM400m, TOTAL value = RM880m (Market cap now is about RM300m)
