couple years ago, KYY was promoting Canone and price collapsed.....was it company fault that price collapsed and never reached his tp.....like Dayang?
aluminium prices keep shooting up, Press Metal keep on making record profits.....the company stiill making money and they think now is the best time to move on KJ, even though they already control the management with 32%.
much easier to consolidate the two operations after taking KJ private...no more accusations of favoring one over the other.
They did that once before without rights issue when they acquired 32% stake in kianjoo
Gearing shot up to 500% (if I remember correctly, according to an article in Focys Malaysia or the Edge). But over the years they managed to bring down to less than 100%
Kianjoo is a very strong player. When the stars are aligned, it will flex its muscle big time . The strong profitability and free cash flow will help canone degear
Let's just wait and see
I said the above because I know entrepreneurs hate to cough out own money to acquire assets (via rights issue). Especially for canone boss who is so old already
They just stole a valuable asset at a deep discounted price, hence valuation up and price begin to move up.
Forget about the gearing issue if their cash flow is able to service the debt, it is only a ratio on paper to scare the financial analyst.
Imagine if I have to borrow RM100 from the bank to acquire an asset at a discounted price of RM100 but which is worth RM200, and provided I can also service my bank borrowings with my income stream. am i better or worst off ??
So if you are a KJ minority shareholder whose shares has been robbed off your hands at a unfair discounted price of RM3.10, what are you going to do to get even ?? Buy back the shares of the robber i.e Canone to get even la..so you indirectly own back KJ
Thats why Canone shares start to move up now...quick before its too expensive..anything below RM4 is a good buy.
if i dont accept the offer, what type of future do i have owning a delisted securities which cannot be traded in the open market ??
Just like if i own a house worth RM2 million, now you offer to buy from me at RM1 million, but if i don't sell to you now at RM1 million, LATER when you offer lapsed YES I still own the house but i cannot sell it in the open market anymore..
Non liquid securities..have you owned one before my friend ??
High gearing of Canone after acquisition of KianJoo will not be a major concern based on the followings:
a) The aluminium price has dropped 20% from the peak 2400USD/MT to <1900USD/MT & tin has been stablized b) In anticipating of b) above, global metal packaging stocks have rebounded to price higher than early 2018 c) Based on interest rate of 6% on MGO price of RM3.10 (max RM917 mil), total quarterly interest is only RM13.8 mil, which is still below gross profit earned in 4Q18 d) Mr. Yeoh is a master in metal commodity cycles. He has gone through few cycles in his business experience. The acquisition of Alcom is the solid evident on how he time it to buy the company cheap. The profit of the company turned around from -ve after that.
I have always been amazed by this Group. Apart from small fish eat big fish story …… and now at the brink of digesting the whole big fish is just one of the reason.
The fact of the rapid growth since its listing just 14 years ago....to grow the revenue from roughly 120 million to now....I dare say not many manufacturing based company on bursa can match that record.
They are not afraid of gearing up for growth...it seems.
Their assets r very undervalue , at least 15% plus n RM1 billion not over attractive lahhhh I still think the actual value is more than RM 4/share .............
Lets work out the math....At RM1 billion offer for F&B, it is worth at least RM5 per Can-One share.
Since it has acquired Kian Joo at RM3.10, and with the cash from F&B sale to pay fully loan for Kian Joo acquisition, Kian Joo share will be free from loan. At 3.10 valuation of Kian Joo per Can-One share is more than RM7 per share.
