Net profit slightly drop from previous quarter due to late compensation by the fire insurance. Recall earlier in December 2015, the company had received the RM 3.83mil compensation and the balance of claims of about RM 12mil is still pending imbursement ( the company filed to claim RM 15mil ).
The balance of RM 12mil will should be received in this financial year. And this is the one off gain in this year becasue the company has fully provided the loss last financial year. Hohohoh. Extra RM12 mil or 6 sen per share. Must share a bit to shareholder lah. Looks like the company also plan to pay higher dividend regularly. Never forget, we will still to received the 2 sen dividend after AGM. (unless it was rejected by shareholder). Current dip in price shuold offer a good buy. Given target of EPS of 18 + 6 (insurance gain) of 24 sen, and PE of 10x, target price should be RM2.40. We discount a bit of the weakening of US Dollar, RM2.00 should be no problem. TP of RM2.00 BUY !
Forex losses = (-RM 2.5 million) compared to RM 3.8 mil gained...which is about RM 6 million turnover...so if USD keep strengthening in the next 3 months, how will it affect the profit in next quarter? And some of the Vietnam revenue are due to the delay in shipment coz by factory fire..means the actual revenue and profit for this current quarter are actually lesser than what it is presented
Haiseh, no need talk like every ikan bilis shareholder of Poh Huat losing money. Many of us bought before the warrant issue,before share split. So average price is below 1.35, RM2.70 before share split. Even RM2.70 was high then
RM is strengthening, fine. Wait till Zeti steps down and see.
Notwithstanding the above challenges, we are optimistic with regard to our performance for the coming year. With the buoyant US housing sector and increases in discretionary spending, furniture spending should continue to improve through the remainder of the year. The positive outlook amongst furniture importers and retailers in the US and Canada will translate to higher orders and shipment of furniture, both from our Malaysian and Vietnamese factories. For this, we are proceeding to upgrade the machinery, particularly in Malaysia to capitalise on the opportunities in the office segment following the Group’s rationalisation efforts.
Pohuat 1Q2016 Result: In line with the higher Group turnover, the Group recorded a higher profit before tax of RM16.22 million during the quarter under review. The improved profit margins were due mainly to the better economy of scale and the higher sales proceeds...
I belief furniture stocks still have future. Not only do they rely on the USD strength, but the increasing sales due to good US markets will furtther increase their revenue.
