Companies that earn low returns may get an occasional bounce in the short term, but their long-term performance will be just as miserable as their returns on capital.

Higher gold prices to boost Poh Kong's profit in FY19

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 11): Poh Kong Holdings Bhd, the country’s largest jewellery retail chain store, expects to stem the decline in net profit to record a growth in the current financial year ending July 31, 2019 (FY19), on anticipation of higher gold prices this year.
Its executive chairman cum managing director Datuk Eddie Choon Yee Seiong is predicting gold price for 2019 to trade at US$1,300 to US$1,400 per ounce levels in the next 12 months, up from below US$1,300 per ounce now.
"If gold prices trend upwards, our margin will be better and this will help lift our profitability,” he told reporters after the group’s annual general meeting today.
For FY18, Poh Kong saw a 20.7% decline in net profit to RM23.4 million from RM29.53 million in the previous year, while revenue rose 14.4% to RM1 billion from RM877 million.
Choon is of the view that gold will benefit from the ongoing US-China trade war concerns, as investors may find the precious metal a safe haven.
Bloomberg data showed spot gold price rose 0.62% or US$7.93 to trade at US$1,294.58 per ounce at 3.33pm. Over the past one year, the price of gold has been trading in the range of US$1,362.40 to US$1,176.20 per ounce.
Given the optimistic prospects for gold prices, Choon said Poh Kong will continue to put effort on areas such as inventory management and cost control to further improve the group’s efficiency to lift profit.
“Expansion is also one way to enhance our profit margin and we will introduce products to meet the current market de
The price of gold actually started to went up back in mid-September 2018 when US intensified the trade war with China by imposing an additional tariff to USD200bil worth of Chinese products (US actually had already imposed a tariff on China product back in July 18 but the products amount was smaller at only USD50bil). The tariff had people running to safe haven investments like US treasuries, Japanese Yen and gold. Currently the 2 big economies are planning for a trade negotiation on 30 to 31 Jan 2019. The outcome of these negotiation will determine the appeal of haven assets like gold which would also determine the outlook of jeweler companies like Poh Kong.
This is actually more of a binary trade where Poh Kong will benefit (via the appreciation of gold price) if the negotiation falls through or would have a lower profit outlook if Trump and Xi Jinping managed to come out with a deal later. That being said, I doubt that the gold price would be able to return to the 2011 – 2012 level of almost USD2000/oz. Maximum profit for the company if the negotiation falls through would be around RM25mil (near FY18 level) which values the company at a PE of only 7.8x.
However, if US and China managed to come to an agreement, of which we will see a fall of gold price to around USD1100 to USD1200 level, Poh Kong would most probably be able to deliver a profit of around RM12mil to RM15mil which values the company at around 13x PE. Which is actually not that high. But given the current market environment, investors can actually find companies that are trading below 10x PE and still able to deliver profit growth in FY19.
If you are looking to diversify your portfolio outside of Poh Kong (due to its earnings uncertainties) I would recommend you to look at MBMR.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 6.9x PE (based on target FY18 profit of RM145mil. 9m profit is already RM106mil). PB is low at only 0.7x BV. 4Q18 results is expected to be higher than 3Q18 and last year's 4Q17.
FY19 growth will be driven by the still high demand of the new Myvi and the newly launched SUV Aruz and also the newly revamp Alza in 2H19. The recent announcement of closure and potential disposal of the loss-making alloy wheel manufacturing business alone is expected to boost the company’s profit by an additional RM10mil to RM20mil. I am projecting a profit to shareholder of RM170 mil for FY19 which at the current price values MBMR at only 5.9x PE.
