The majority SH are holding tightly to avoid its market share price from moving up so that later they will make a mandatory takeover at a very cheap price even though the share is undervalued. Co. only reward very cheap div to retailer SH.
Edwardong53 Stop hallucinating. Low P/E does not automatically equal to cheap/undervalue. Other criteria like dividend payout, leverage & liquidity will affect the P/E valuation.
(1) Whether the PROPOSED MGO and SSA are merely remedy exercises "COMPELLED" by SC, in order to rectify wrongful acts done by YJH and his PACs ??. If so, can one say that it is never the intention of the company to trigger the take-over code??
(2) Upon completion of the MGO, gearing ratio swells from 0.63 to 2.41 ( Group debts ballooned to 1.9 billion). Isn't it too high ??
(3) whether YJH and PACs are "FREE" to cast "No" votes in the coming EGM ??
yes, there are many doubts .... one of them is, from my understanding, the acquisition needs the CANONE shareholders approval, will the CANONE shareholders approve it?
but today KJ is already limit up, seems like the proposal of acquisition sure will be approved by CANONE shareholders!
as i understand it, Mr Yeoh needs to reverse back his stakes to <33% if this proposal is rejected in the EGM...that would be not rational since he bought Mr Tan's stakes earlier... from here this would mean that he will work this out to get this approved..
From the SC letter, after paying the penalty, CANONE has the option to reduce their holding in KJ, (c) restriction on the aggregate number of voting rights that may be exercised by the Parties Acting in Concert in KJCFB to not more than 33%. In addition, if the proposed corporate exercise for which consultation with the SC was held on 21 December 2017 is not carried out within six (6) months from the date of the SC Letter, the Parties Acting in Concert are required to reduce their collective holdings in KJCFB to 33% and below.
Reduce the KJ holding is in the best interest of CANONE and it is not reasonable for the shareholders to approve the acquisition!
KJ got many undervalued assets..may be thats what they are eyeing..not the earnings prospect..may be convert some of the land banks to prop dev..who knows
From the price movement these few days, the last querter profit for FY18 will be one of the highest of the recent years. Canone business model is very similar to Johotin. Please refer to Johotin Q3 financial statement notes to gain some insights. ;-)
How can your financials be worsened if :- 1) if you have a chance to acquire a grossly under valued asset 2) if you have the means to get the financing to acquire it 3) if you are able to service the financing obligation with your internal cash flow
Yes ratio wise it may deteriorate such as gearing ratio, but common sense wise, what do you think ?
Canone is in very good biz f&b, unfortunately, owned by no so good people. I bot it for its good biz and hope for the not good bosses to change to good. Just like those naive girl hoping for bad boyfriend to change to good. It is like "flower in mirror, moon in water".
