Good time to collect SILK. Although the disposal plan aborted, but SILK still a company that own many good assets. Its SILK Highway provide him a steady cash flow, and this cash flow able to help him to overcome the challenge environment of its O&G business. 1-2 years later, when other O&G player has been knock-out (because they have cash flow problem), then SILK will emerge itself as the big player in O&G.
EPF going into highways is good for the long term returns of the fund. Highways are regulated assets, require minimum supervision on their operations and provide dividends.
However because it is the EPF that is going into the deal, the business case must be told in full. Because the Duke Highway will not be the last for the EPF to consider.
Many more highways are up for sale. Hence there must be more information to appease the members.
Not selling the highway perhaps is a good thing for SILK. Currently, it highway business provide steady positive cash flow, as its highway debt payment is very small amount only (although the debt is high, but the payment is very minimal only). Cold eyes always said:- "Cash flow is very important for a organisation, many business went bankrupt not because their business is good, or because they are making losses, the real course that make an business went bankrupt is CASH FLOW, without cash flow, company cannot pay rental, cannot pay salary.. and this will cause the business went bankrupt.
Therefore, with the steady positive cash flow from SILK highway, now at least we can assure that SILK will have strong cash flow to overcome the losses it suffer from its O&G business. We hope O&G can recover in next few years, Petronas can increase its capex in next few years, the SILK will fly high again.
Ever wonder why attempt 1, by IJM, and attempt 2, by WZ One, to buy up the highway have failed? Bondholders knows best and they are shareholders last defender. Why these parties wanted to buy the highway? Are they eyeing to privatise it, list it or resell it for a huge profit? Here, it is clearly telling us, the highway is worth some money, a good loads of money! Please also study the recent divestment of 40% stake in DUKE highway to EPF by Ekovest, your brain will know how much is the reasonable price for Silk highway. To those who scrutinise the account closely, all knew that the highway revenue is enough to meet financial obligations and will not default.
As for oil and gas, it is a 70/30 joint venture between Trg gov and Jasa Merin. It has not been doing well for a while but will be fine soon once oil and gas market rebounded through joint effort between Opec and Russia led non Opec pact to curb the glut come Nov. Free cash flow from highway operation should be enough to meet all financial obligation under Jasa Merin, thats my wild guess..... come someone work out the numbers?
Last time IJM announce to buy at RM398mil, silk's price surge to RM1.20. This round PNB announce to buy at RM380mil, silk's price will surge to RM1.15.
Will this abort again? NO NO NO, because it is PNB, not IJM.
Looked interesting at first glance. However silk have about 800 mil in loans in its money losing oil n gas division. Very likely most of the disposal proceeds will be used to pay down the loan. Nta will be higher at about 60 cents. Shareholder will not likely get to enjoy the proceeds of the sale as dividend.
SILK's oil and gas division is JASA MERIN. Jasa Merin brand name is a very strong and reputable brand in OIL & GAS Support industry. As oil price start to recover, JASA MERIN will be able to turn into profit very soon (within 1-2 years). And if the sale proceed use to payoff the debts, the JASA Merin will be very profitable in future, as majority of its cost is the loan interest.
In term of TA, MA20 has crossed over MA100. Coming next few days, MA20 should crossed over MA200. Price is above all MA20, 50, 100 & 200. I believe uptrend will continue.
Rm70m to be paid as dividend. others kept for internal use. remaining division high debts and making losses so will be underwhelming for now. oil & gas support industry will only recover 1-2 years after oil price recover. at least the company manage to sell off a loss-making highway at a decent price
