In my opinion, there are a lot of optimism being built in this stock, driving the share price to this level when the result missed expectation. The business itself looks great, record unbilled sales, efficient and increasing FFB output (the yield is even better compare to other young planter in KLSE) which will helps to fuel future earning growth. Based on earning power valuation, EV/EBIT, RM2.2 - RM2.6 would probably serve as better entry price. I have owned this stock since few years back and has seen the stock price retract 30%-40% from its peak. There wasn't much mentioned about this stock and its potential in plantation and MRT driven property theme during that time. The stock has been performing since then with only a glimpse of their earning potential. I will continue to add if the share price ever drop to my target entry unless the business quality change. Just my two cent.
I think MKH will take time to recover due to lower price in CPO. Its previous uptrend was driven by new CPO business, not property. Me too, I bought it because of its oil palm business. In Q2 (april-june), CPO price ranged from 2400-2600. In Q3 (july-Sept), it ranged between 2400-1950. In overall, CPO price dropped about 13%. I don't think its financial report in Q3 will better perform than Q2. What to do? Just hold it.
there is still a retain earning of 573 mil and quarter results do not even hve any contribution from CPO yet..what is the worry? tan sri have been buying in from 3.80 to 3.5 level
id dare enough buy more when it goes lower, I am very sure 3 months down the road, it turns put to be a positive return, if I have a million now, I will buy down gradually and more
Reality checks. 1. Even if CPO price drops to RM1,600 .. plantation will still make profit with growth in FFB production. 2. Property unbilled sales at record high .. visible property profits. 3. Property investment income at least RM12 million a year .. is increasing. 4. NTA per share is RM2.40.
let make a simple calculation: for Q3 2014 (apr-jun), the output of ffb was 81,700mt.
assume the oer is 21%, it can produce 17,157 mt of cpo. the revenue and profit (excluding forex gain/loss and before finance cost and tax) for plantation for Q3 was 41.578mil and 16.358mil. so the average cpo in this period is 41.578mil / 17157 = 2,423/mt and profit is 16.358mil / 17157 = 953/mt. that mean the cost to produce cpo is 2,423 - 953 = 1,470/mt. we assume the ffb output for Q4(jul-sep) is about 82,000mt and it can produce 17,220mt cpo.
if average price of cpo for the period is 2,100/mt, the profit will be (2100 - 1470) x 17220 = 10.849mil. after deducted 5.5mil of finance cost, the Q4 pbt is 5.35mil. and for the same period idr was appreciated about 1.2%, the forex gain will be around 5mil, end up with Q4 pbt 10.35mil.
if the some of the unbilled sales of property recognize in Q4, the property revenue can hit 180mil, and pbt about 31mil. plus the property investment pbt 4mil. total mkh's Q4 pbt will be 31mil + 4mil + 10.35mil = 45.35mil, deduct tax 25%, net profit 34mil eps 8.1sen.
in fact mkh can implement right issue to reduce the debt in plantation sector that caused this sector's earning fluctuated due to forex. this is a good time for mkh to source fund as the share price stood at high level of above rm3.20. if right issue of 1:5 at 2.80 (15% off from rm3.30), mkh can source (419,393mil share / 5) * 2.80 = 234.86mil, which can easily cover the debt of plantation 215mil. by doing this, total of share increase to 503.271mil from 419.393mil and plantation sector can save at least 20mil finance cost per annum, or even higher with the recent interest hike.
Forex exposure can be managed .. suspect MKH managed to increase its USD assets in the balance sheet because the forex loss was not as thought it should be.
1. How many % we are currently holding for the 14,400 hectars of plantation land in Indonesia? We are holding 95% through PT.Khaleda Agroprima Malindo (PT KAM)
2. If the bill would go through, what could be the impact to MKH? What are the Strategies MKH will take?
1) The drastic bill to cap the foreign ownership in oil palm plantations to no more than 30% from the current maximum of 95% is unlikely to happen as it will affect the government’s ability to attract foreign investment into Indonesia. Indonesia still requires substantial foreign investment to develop its economy and to stabilize and strengthen its Rupiah currency. The new Government under Pak Jokowi will need to prove to the Indonesian people that they can manage the country well, create more job opportunities, reduce inflation, strengthen the Rupiah and bring in foreign investment to fast track the economic growth in Indonesia. Hence, a business friendly approach would be required.
2) The Business policy issued by Indonesian government on 23 April 2014 on Business Activities which are Closed and Open with Condition in the Investment Field (“PP No.39/2014”) stipulating that for the Palm Oil Plantation with the area of 25 hectares or more integrated with the CPO industry, the maximum foreign ownership is 95% (unchanged). Hence, it is unlikely for this new business policy to be revised again in the near future as it has just been revised in April 2014.
What if implemented?
3) Even if the new ruling materialises, it will NOT be applied retrospectively and only affects new businesses post the implementation date. We have in place ways to manage full control over our business and in our pipeline we are also planning the possible listing of the plantation arm.
3. How is the company plan wish to acquire more land in Indonesia? Still go ahead? Yes, we are still going ahead to acquire more land.
4. For the past few quarters result, the major profit earning on Property sector in Malaysia was almost manipulated by the foreign gain/loss in Indonesia’s currency. May I know that has MKH taking any strategies on this? The forex loss is still unrealised. We have reserved USD 15 million to service the loan. At the same time, we have formed a forex monitoring committee headed by our ED/COO to convert rupiah to USD when rupiah strengthen, We have set aside proceed from sale of kernel for this purpose. The USD15 million is the undrawn USD loan.
It depends on your holding power n the duration . So far, as we know MKH has twin engines property n plantation, it's share price most likely will go up in long run.

You don't value a company by its price. A stock can trade at RM10 and considered cheap.....or A stock can trade at 10 sen and considered expensive.....
