Look at the retail segment profit. 6 folds increase. Wtf. Only new mall marketing expenses lowering their property segment. Wait another quarter. This shares got potential
ya they are expanding but look at the location of that Nilai mall, it doesn't hint a good prospect also, old school retailing cant work well anymore, they gotta upscale their facilities n provide more immersive & experiential kind of shopping
In term of financials the company actually did not do that bad in 3Q18. But i think some investors might have assume that they would have made higher profit than the RM13.9 mil recorded given that there was the tax holiday period.
4Q18 should post both higher revenue and profit vs 3Q but might be difficult to beat last year's result. 4Q17 PBT was the highest profit recorded per quarter since 2015.
The issue with the company lies mainly on its valuation. At the current share price it is already valued at 25.6x PE. Companies at this valuation normally offers investors profit growth of at least 20% (PAT in FY17 was RM100mil). Even if they do managed to record a profit of RM120mil in FY18, that would still translate to a PE of 19.4x. Still high but if the growth of 20% is consistent, by FY21 PAT should be RM200mil which helps bring down the valuation to 12.8x PE.
Given current market condition, there are actually a lot of companies that currently trade at low PE multiple but can still provide profit growth in the short to mid term.
One company that you can consider for your portfolio is MBMR.
The company is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 5.3x PE (based on target FY18 PATAMI of RM145mil. 9m PATAMI is already RM106mil). PB is low at only 0.5x BV. 4Q18 results is expected to be higher than 3Q18 and last year 4Q17. And FY19 growth will be driven by the still high demand of new Myvi and the launch of the new SUV in 1Q19.
Hope earning growth for Aeon will accelerate in a much faster rate in the future in order to commensurate investors for the high valuation at the moment.
Limbeh like to go Aeon shopping, but even add with Q4 result, their performance cannot outbeat YE17 wor... look at YE17 price after Q4 announced and look at current price, limbeh still feel very very overvalued despite the sell down.... but Limbeh very honest one, Aeon is a good place for weekend and Q4 usually shopper shop more...
@Wei Wong Padini and Bornia are already dropping like shit themselves due to weak consumer sentiment, especially in retail industry, and the same goes for AEON And, the cost and development of E-wallet isn't beared by AEON Co. also, but AEON Credit; AEON Co. and AEON Big are just leeching it off
their employees not doing their work at all, all hilang lepak dont know where they go, need assistant to get some items but cant find anyone to ask, 3 counters only 1 open, in food section almost 20 counters but only 3 to 4 open, their management really have to fix this
Aberdeen Fund is disposing like there is no tomorrow, better stay away. Better opportunities in other counters....must admit it’s Mall is nice to lepak n shopping but that not necessary translate to “a must invest”. Not gonna touch this counter at all for now.
U all must be not reading its quarterly report. In Q2 the retail sales double up. In Q3 the retail segment fold 6 times. I believe the worst should be over.
Profit is expected to be squeeze further judging from the oversupply of retail space in KV & intense competition from e-commerce. Downgrade fair price to 0.95
While retailing contribute 84% of the revenue, this segment only generated 18% of the total net profit. Property management services is still the biggest contributor of net profit at 82%. Rise in retail sale will have minimal effect on profit.
to copy uncle koon famously declared statement..."im obliged to inform you guys that ive bought into aeon". However this is not an invitation for u to buy or sell. caveat eptor....hahaha
