In reality, I have yet to see any analyst suggesting PUNCAK has a cash in hand of over 1.2 billions that's NOT shrinking despite losses. Given 'unknown' pessimistic view on Puncak, I don't rule out further pressure on Puncak's share price. But I am merely pointing out UNFAIR and UNREASONABLE market response, or is it really market response?
If you read its report on continuing operations, the 12 months' losses look HUGE at 152.43 millions. But, is it? Non-cash items is already 122.016 millions (of which impairment is ALREADY 100.802 millions and amortization/depreciation 21.214 millions.) Leaving the next most expensive item of finance cost at 15.942 millions. With the borrowing shrinking to 71.182 millions, and net cash of 1,229.513 millions, this should no longer a threat. I guess, going forward, the 2.73 per share CASH should be there until new businesses are identified. How much I wish Rozali would distribute at least 0.10 per share dividend annually until new businesses are identified.
Rozali executed a spring cleaning, which is timely I think. The account should be much better going ahead. The NTA is still RM3.75 with cash RM2.73. For long-term investors, it is a bargain at today's close of 1.09. I am positive.
Usually cash rich companies are ripe to be sodomised. The most important aspect here is the controlling major shareholders reputation. The market priced in a high certainty of this happening. This huge discount to NTA reflect this uncertainty. If the major holders proved they can be trusted with the hoard of cash without them squandering it in overprice investments and accounting hanky panky it will adjust upwards fast. In Puncak case the share price reflects the major controlling shareholders reputation and integrity. I am not saying don't buy but buy with a big discount to NTA and hope what I say is not true !
Near to RM1billion is placed in money markets. At present rate, money market offers between 3.8-4% p.a. return (goes by daily interest). This translates to around RM40 Million per year (tax free) or near to 9 sen a share. Offering 10sen dividend per year should be easily achievable.
No doubt interest income from cash hoard more than RM 1.2 billion itself will generate more than RM 45m pa....but more pressing issue is viability of Puncak remain business, oil and gas, construction, waste treatment, all of these are loss making.....keep incurring loss + overall company maintenance and cost operation expense + big director fees expense.. All these expense cost and loss making business could easily offset its interest income and erode its cash hoard gradually.
However, Puncak alrdy highlighting potential new business venture....food and beverages!!!, palm oil estate, property development. Let's see how market response first, whether market appreciate more on Puncak cash hoard or concern more on puncak viabliity business and future buisness direction.
Real big joke, CIMB on its report on Puncak provides a table on page 3:
Business Valuation Net profit Value component Basis (FY17) Construction 15XPE 3.4 millions 50.9m cash from warrant 6.6m Cash (4Q15) 1,104m Borrowing(4Q15) (71m) Total SOP 1,172m FD shares 532.5m SOP/share 2.20
Problems are (1) Cash(4Q15) is not 1,104m BUT 1,300.695m (922.146m+378.549m) (2) FD shares is ONLY 452.515m (449.284 outstanding shares+5.269 warrants-2.038 treasury shares)
Based on that, SOP/share should then be 2.86, what a HUGE difference. My goodness!
Lew Peik Yin, could be a few months before seeing the light, to be frank. Somehow, Puncak is being abused. Though, with so much cash in hand at 2.73 per share, futures should be bright (I am definitely biased, given my investment in Puncak)
/kahhoeng: really got ppl purposely sell it to cheap cheap cheap price!but never mind I believed it will up in future! Let's watch it happen ya!b patient to this PUNCAK
Madmoney! If I m nearby selangor sure I will go to the company n COMPLAINT TO ROZALI! U never standout to protect the share price! KKB announce lost result also won't kena so jiaklak....hahahaa....mad money! I SUPPORT u go to company check whAt happen to them. Ya!!
fzank, haha, well said. Hope this Titanic not the real Titanic and not sink. It is a pity to be small shareholder when the major shareholder care less about protecting its share price...
Lew Peik Yin, an average of 1.80, with the most recent purchase at 1.14, sigh! Wonder if I should add some more at 1.03, have to sell other shares or pump in money already though, another huge SIGH!
kahhoeng, may be take a stop there, unless you want to trade for those you gotten at low, no point keep averaging. e.g, keep what ever you have (1.80), go in now new batch at 1.03, try sell them at 1.06 or so to recover bit by bit. unless 1.03 stuck then you treat this as an average price for 1.80 batch. then you trade again for lower batch say 99sen to 1.02...so on and so forth.
Lew, just keep trading at any level, stuck treat as averaging, profit treat as recover. until hopeful price gone back up to your average price or recoup from your trading profit bits by bits. trade size depend on your fund. hope you are able to break them to at least 5 batches. e.g 1) if 1.03 stuck - 1st batch (treat as average) 2) plan for next level trade 1.00 to 1.03 - if stuck again (2nd batch treat as average) 3) plan for next level trade 96sen to 1 - if profit, treat this as recover fund 4) so on and so forth 5) if price recover back to 1.03 level, you can then release you fund by selling 1) & 2) batch, then repeat again. 6) up to your own discretion actually.
Actually... you are buying Puncak for its net cash and new prospects...
r°Moi was more keen.. to see a positive spin... on the prospects
But.... this is ok.. ain't that bad
Prospects
Post completion of the Proposed Disposals on 15 October 2015, the Group is continuosly looking to expand its operations in areas related to its core businesses and core competencies in water and wastewater, sewerage, environmental engineering and construction, both locally and abroad as well as exploring opportunities in new business sectors such as oil palm plantation, property development and food and beverage sectors.
On the Construction sector, the Group will continue to be involved in the construction of water-related and sewerage facilities. The Group's current projects include the construction of new sewer pipe network and pumping stations including the rationalisation of the existing sewerage infrastructure in Bunus, Kuala Lumpur as well as operation and maintenance of a water treatment plant in Beaufort, Sabah. The Group is also currently involved in several ongoing construction tenders related to the water and environmental sectors in Malaysia.
Due to the huge drop in crude oil prices coupled with no projects secured in 2015, it was extremely difficult to sustain normal operational activities in the Oil and Gas Division. The Group had implemented right sizing exercise to cut down staffing and operational costs to minimal levels as the Group reviews its position in the sector.
take a good look at Rozali's photo ...... he looks not like a crook at all ? I am wondering whether any of you who badmouth him here got any anecdotal incidence or even better still evidence to say he cannot be trusted ??? So far, neither he nor any member of his family or holding companies has sold a single share : apa mahu lagi ? His interest, as the majority substantial shareholder/founder is aligned with ours - why would he cut his nose to spite his face??? Re the conspiracy theory that he wants to depress the price in order to take it private - what/where are the substantiating factors for such an allegation ?
By the way, I am a small shareholder, also suffering paper loss and just as perplexed as everybody else why the share price is what it is .... especially today at 1.02 low
