yup sherlock.. i have mentioned all those before... forex gain is only some extra bonus to Evergreen... what i am looking into is their core business expansion
mikibob,probably you don notice that evergreen already adopt minimum of 25% payout rate from FY2016,so it is different story now,i expect evergreen to announce at lease 2.16cen dividend for FY2016 by end of this month(when announce AGM meeting) or next month(during 1st q result announcement).
so,i had starting to accumulate since i believe the downside is minimum and upside is huge.
CKCS, having 200 mil debt is good at least it has not bankrupt yet. Just we okay with the risks for now. If co. cannot reduce debt later then we can start to worry.
CKCS aka starperformer is indeed a pathetic loser cum joker... we have said many times that Evergreen has >RM160M cash on hand and the net cash from operations has increased from quarter to quarter... most of the CAPEX was spent in 2015-16 and now they require minimal CAPEX for 2017 onwards. In other words, with improvement in net cash from operations + reduction of spending on CAPEX, their free cash flow will increase significantly...
unfortunately this loser + joker + kindergarten level "so-called" investor does not even understand this...
perhaps he knows it.. just that he thought by sabotaging Evergreen, other investors will choose to buy HEVEA instead (where he is deeply stuck) and help lift him out from the swamp...
let me bring up one very valid point: from 2013-16 (even when evergreen was heavily investing in CAPEX during 2015-16), their average net cash generated from operations was RM123.810M/year in average. CAPEX was RM87.445M/year in average. Free cash flow (FCF) was RM36.365M/year in average.
See, i don't talk cock like some loser.. i have all these analyses/valuation spreadsheets with me since day 1 and I can show these to you anytime....
and imagine from 2017 onwards when CAPEX will be greatly reduced and with the expected improvement in net cash generated from operations, what will their FCF?
Again, I don;t talk cock.. i talk based on facts...
sxckperformer, aka CKCS... i doubt if you really understand what value investing is all about...
i still remember when i bought notion-vtec 1 years ago at 37-40cen,many had disagreed with me,but i just ignore all the bad mouth, focus on financial and business analysis,again and again,then i had concluded that notion is very undervalue at 37-40cen,downside is minimal but upside is huge,so i just keep buying.
the reasons for me to bet heavily on notion,included strong EBITDA,strong cash flow,dividend expectation and financial result improvement.
luckily,i win the battle as notion had more than triple up from 40cen to RM1.30 in in just 12month,i sold all shares at RM1.31(you can trace my entry price and exit price by viewing my previous comment on notion.) and keep big portion of cash for next investment.
now,i am very happy to found another excellent company(of course is evergreen),i spend days to study every figure in its financial statement,to understand what had happen on this company during last two year,as well as making logical assumption on future development.
by doing so,i knew evergreen was step up effort to enhance product offering,produce and supply more particleboard and RTA furniture(margin is much higher),and also automate its production lines(reduce manpower requirement) as well as consolidate certain operations(improve in cost and production efficiency).
it take 2 years and RM200 million for evergreen to fully implement all the business plans above,but now,i am very happy to knew almost all the enhancement works had been done,the required capex also been spend.
so,evergreen was on sweet spot now,we shall see their profit margin,net profit,balance sheet,cash flow and dividend payout to increase simultaneously and steadily going forward.
more importantly,share price already bottom out,only sell at 87-90cen,which is 46% discount from its RM1.68 peak,35% discount to NTA and EBITDA of 4.6x(should less than 4x if 20% growth rate is achieve this year),so entry level is quite safe, i'll keep buy on weakness.
my investment in evergreen,i see no reason to fail,time will tell.
well said sherlock... u r indeed a value investor, unlike some fake ones... u really did a lot of homework like what I did, which is great. yes, time will tell... let the jokers/losers bark now, they will be silenced later...
just another sharing (not asking u to buy, u should study on your own first)... there is a similarly attractive company - Prlexus with very good fundamentals and expected huge growth in 1-2 years' time... if you are aiming for longer term, that will be another excellent value investment...
Can u tell me where is Evergreen getting money to pay dividends to shareholders? Based on what I can see in the balance sheet, the company has very huge debts amount and high obligation to pay down debts first then other liabilities and lastly then check whether it has enough disposable money left to give out as dividends.
That high borrowed cash in the cash balance needs to be returned not purely belong to the company. Still don't get it? We're not investing into properties which appreciate in values. Evergreen invested into a business which may not bear the expected returns or even losses.
CKCS: Can u tell me where is Evergreen getting money to pay dividends to shareholders? Based on what I can see in the balance sheet, the company has very huge debts amount and high obligation to pay down debts first then other liabilities and lastly then check whether it has enough disposable money left to give out as dividends. [you don't seem to understand it yet. in latest Q4 2016 report, Evergreen net cash flow generated from operating activities is as high as RM238.368M, whereas in 2015 Q4, it was only RM132.680M. That is a huge improvement of net cash flow from operations. in 2016, they spent a lot on CAPEX, around RM200M. But as mentioned by the top management, they expect to only spend around RM40-50M starting 2017 as most of the money had been spent for expansion. So you can expect net change in cash & cash equivalents to improve tremendously. let's be conservative and not assume any growth in the net cash from operations, keep it at RM238.368M in 2017, CAPEX reduction down to RM40-50M will already give them surplus of net cash & cash equivalent of RM238.368-RM45M = RM193.368M in 2017 (assume we neglect the small amount from cash flow from financing activities). Compared to total short+long term debts of just RM205M, they almost zero out the total debt based on just the net change of cash. don't forget they still have RM160M cash at the beginning of 2017 (carried forward from 2016)... so, even they have to pay down "all", i mean all debts, they still have enough cash to pay dividends.. but do they need to pay down all debt immediately? they do not necessarily have to do that... come on... . if dunno, pls ask politely and dun act like an expert... i feel very sorry for ppl like u... know a little bit, but act like sifu ]
That high borrowed cash in the cash balance needs to be returned not purely belong to the company. Still don't get it? We're not investing into properties which appreciate in values. Evergreen invested into a business which may not bear the expected returns or even losses. [I have explained much above... and it is stupid to compare this business with properties development alone... they are of different sector.. as what i can see, evergreen is making profits consistently after 2013-14 where these are exceptionally bad years]
but i think i need to slap him hard right on his face... he barely knows anything about financials and value investing but acts like a master... i really pity idixts like him...
CKCS.. pls dun run away like a sissy.. respond to what i wrote above (in response to your silly question).. and let me know which part i did not say it correctly?
CKCS = starperformer, go take a basic class on how to interpret financial reports first... before even u talked any nonsense on debts bla bla bla... u do not even understand how to read a cash flow statement....
Evergreen has these kind of things in their balance sheet:
Cash: 160,308,000 Total borrowings: 205,257,000 Total liabilities: 388,027,000
How hard can any business drop and deteriorate in this economic environment? Its cash also not enough to cushion any incoming crisis. Still choose to be blind to see it?
haha... proven once again the duo of idxots Holland Chai and CKCS... in fact, by looking at the total number of comments this idxot holland_chai had given (13 only) and all in this Evergreen forum, i kind of suspect he is also another ID created by starperformer aka heavekrea aka CKCS... poor and pathetic idixt...
okla.. i will stop educating these idxots as they / he (or maybe these 2 are the same person?) will never understand.. or pretend does not understand, trying hard to sabotage evergreen and then promote Hevea... poor thing.. too obvious la kids...
SusuKacang... value investing sometimes requires some patience.. look at how long the the value investors had to wait for Fibon and Willow before they flied high? if you cant wait, i would suggest u follow the idixt - sxckperformer's style of speculating in stock....
