Online major shopping portal like Shopee and Lazada offer convenient direct shipment from China with free shipping or heavily subsidized, cutting thru all the intermediary costs.
Anyway, be confident, EPF dumped AirAsia shares but continue to accumulate aeon shares. In addition, more than 85%+ of aeon shareholders were institutional funds like EPF, etc.
Among services, those from the information/communications and retailers sectors were optimistic about business conditions, while the others were not. - Reuters
(July 15): U.S. and Asian equity futures climbed Wednesday amid optimism that progress is being made in developing a defence against the coronavirus. The dollar retreated.
Aeon, Japan's biggest retailer with 430 locations, will partner with Alibaba-backed technology company DeepBlue Technology to develop unmanned convenience stores in China, where a handprint lets users access the kiosk-like store and pay for purchases
innovative. Aeon will form a joint venture with Shanghai-based DeepBlue Technology, a startup that counts Jack Ma's Alibaba as an investor and has developed a model for an unmanned convenience store called TakeGo. Users register a hand print, which lets them access the kiosk-like store and pay for purchases.
The Japanese group operates about 430 supermarkets, convenience stores and other locations in China. Its latest move seeks to counter Amazon.com and other big names that are experimenting with high-tech store formats.
Loans above 1 billion with cash less than 25 million. How good can it be? Unless trading push, LT -ve amidst intense competition from 99, etc and high overhead relatively.
nothing to do with aeon msia BHD, not subsidiary or associated company 
Aeon Subag Jaya
KUALA LUMPUR: Aeon Big (M) Sdn Bhd’s store in Subang Jaya will continue to operate as usual after it obtained a stay of execution of judgement against Mega Continental Sdn Bhd’s legal action.
In a statement, it said the Alor Setar High Court had stayed the execution of the judgement in default dated June 9,2020.
“The hearing to set aside the judgement in default for the sum of RM142mil made against the company earlier has been fixed to Aug 6,2020, ” it said.
To recap, Aeon Big obtained the High Court declaration from the Penang High Court on Nov 8,2019 to declare the agreement signed between Aeon Big and Mega Continental in Aeon Big’s favour.
this article from HL affected the price today probably :(
KUALA LUMPUR (July 16): Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research has reiterated its ‘underweight’ call on the consumer sector and said it expects the sector to report weak earnings in the second half of 2020 (2H20) while adjusting to the ‘new normal’.
HLIB Research analyst Gan Huan Wen expects retailers such as Aeon Co (M) Bhd with a ‘sell’ rating and target price of 86 sen, Focus Point Holdings Bhd (‘hold’, TP: 43 sen) and F
After trading around 1.20 for quite some times, finally around 0.90. LT negative amidst excessive borrowing and intensified competition. The onlynly thesis is epf is averaging down, this may give some hopes. Good luck.
prices are cheap, then the people buy on credit and Aeon Credit gets the interest income.
still there is a core requirement for people to buy otherwise Aeon Credit will not get any profits. Also Aeon Credit can pay commission to Aeon. That's is quite normal.
Just like you buy a car, take Hire Purchase Loan and the Bank pays the car dealer a commission.
Fundamental of Aeon is not that bad. Of the 28 stores in Malaysia, half of it are fully owned (the land and the building), another 10 are leased, and another 4, they own the building rent the land. Since 2015, the big borrowings was because they wanted to refurbish its existing malls and complete its new shopping mall. Start from 2019, they adopt new reporting standard that the rent expense is being capitalised instead of simply recognised as lease expenditure in income statement. That’s why we see a huge figure in lease liabilities, the present value of future lease payments and the right of use of assets, it’s a pair. As a hypermarket, net profit margin 2-3% is normal, Aeon is in the range, they need high volume and less margin. And obviously it has dropped from 2.7% to 0.6%. which business not being affected by pandemic other than gloves and healthcare sector though? In Malaysia, I agree Shopee and Lazada both have gained more market shares but sometimes you still would need to go Aeon for some necessities, fresh fruits and veggies etc. So far for middle class still go Aeon for grocery shopping, the targeted customer of Jaya Grocer, Aeon, Giant and NSK are totally different. Just the occupancy of its retail and its management need to be observed down the road.
Future value can be negative too. Why it is shown as high instead of low? This is debatable figure. It also opens door for discrepancy in reporting if the actual value is lower.
expects its operating environment to remain challenging amid competition and the Covid-19 pandemic.
moving forward, the performance of the group will depend on business revival and consumer sentiment in the group's retailing regions. The group should continue to exercise caution in managing its overall business given various uncertainties at the macro level.
If you are free, you can go to AEON malls to have a look, especially those in suburban areas
Just look at how much is its average occupancy rate, and do remember that property segment is its main source of profit
Increasing in supermarket (retail) sales is as good as nothing, as that segment only contributes very thin profits, and be reminded that manufacturers (Nestle, P&G, Unilever, etc.) are selling their own goods online by themselves with everyday low prices to further suppress retailers profitability
Even before the virus hit, MY mall space is already beyond oversupplied, now imagine how long it is gonna take to recover and stomach the supply
In near term, PE 15 is still expensive for this counter, PE 12 to 13 seems fairer
Brace your self for the ugliness of upcoming 2Q report, as AEON reported that it waived rentals for its tenants
accumulate, debt is high,Malaysia more than 30over malls,not easily bankrupt la...pass thru over 1997 hongkong storm,SARS,H1N1 and now covid19 alll those company pass thru this type of sickness are very stable ..
ÆON Group or AEON Group (イオングループ, Ion Gurūpu) is a group of retail and financial services companies based in Chiba, Japan, which is centered on ÆON Co., Ltd. It has sister companies in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, and also trades under the JUSCO name. It claims to be Japan's largest retail group in terms of sales,[1] but is actually ranked as the second largest Japanese retailer by sales, behind Seven
Japanese bi planning is more longer than others. just be calm and cool. during MCO, share price tumbled but aeon rebounded quickly to above rm1. at current price, the same thing will happen, :)
lambsauce - you're right. The main revenue is from rentals. Margins from sales are negligible. But could you clarify if the supermarket vegetables and meat are mainly Aeon's and not 3rd parties, hence the margin is the main source.
There's in excess of RM700m in the form of inventories - I hope the management can reduce this & free up some cash flow?
Dividendlover - you're also right that the new accounting treatment brings a lot of operational leases onto the balance sheet. Despite not including this in the gearing computation, the gearing ratio is skyhigh.
