Bpplastic business mainly focus on flexible stretch film which uses resin type ldpe/lldpe. both resins comes from ethene. with the current fall in crude oil price and natural gas, it will at least be beneficial to the plastic industry. why plastic industry now? it may not be the right time but comparing all the plastic counter, and recently SLP berhad which reported their quarter, saw their revenue drop of drop about 10% as well as their profit margin. looking at how bpplastic managing their profit margin and net cash we can know that their company will benefit from the fall in crude oil and natural gas price.
bpplas balance sheet is as clean as a whistle. there are totally no debt and net cash of 30 cents. seriously. today they liquidate everything, they still got 30 cents to pay back their shareholders. what I like about the company is that their inventory tend to fall in tandem with revenue. it's a good trend. meaning they are not keeping too much of previous inventory. otherwise, they will have to do lots of impairment.
Assuming next quarter profit were to drop by at least 50% next two quarters, will give them eps of 1.50 cents. 3.32 cents 1.50 cents 1.50 eps 3 eps. conservatively with 15 or it will give them a valuation of about 1.40. margin of safety is 40%. In addition, they are even declaring with 2 cents dividend. if they maintain their dividend which I expect they will due to net cash company, it will give them around 6% dividend yield.
Plastic usage expects to rise in the near future as well due to the use of more electronic devices, more people are taking away their food compare to eating in, rising demand in frozen food. many might say what if there is a rise in oil price? it won't happen in the next 2/3 years. based on the current usage and US being the largest oil producer which they will not stop the fracking process (uses to dig out shale oil), the oversupply of oil in the next few years. plastic industry will be a safe bet in a fundamental portfolio.

6% dividend yield almost 3 times from current FD interest rate. Sooner and later, investors will appreciate..... It is really good value investment....
The price will move when the boss wants it to move. Look at the queue. You eat seller, buyer cancel queue and price fall. You sell to buyer, seller cancel queue and price move up.
