Was told furniture business is very good. Orders all q up to dec loh. Given the current strengthening of USD, we will see another record level for Liihen.
XxxxXzz u must be an accountant with real-life experience. I am not. so am not here to teach you or anyone any lesson (who am I...). Based on limited knowledge, it is not uncommon that overhead is an area that accounting can be manipulated to adjust gross margin. Also, to be concise, it is manufacturing direct overhead. Not broad category of overhead.
cherry88, My 2 cents: The sales volume definitely in increasing trend (global and local). The only concern I pondered upon is logistic cost - which LH made bulk of it's sale from US. Global supply chain has been facing container shortage issue since Q4 last year, it is not easing but made worst by reopening and short term ripple effect of Suez Canal. Q1 profit might be squeezed. In longer term, likely to see rebound when capital flows back to lower risk counter. Welcome any view.
@Chili_Padi, Container issue is no longer an secret and have not been really resolved significantly. Recalled back that LiiHen operations were closed down in Jan and with CNY holiday in Feb, I don't think LiiHen can be performed much financially in its first q results. Although we know shipping cost will not hurt the company bottom-line directly as all of its shipping term are in FOB, but it will affect their factory efficiency I guess. Hope this temporarily weakening could pose a good accumulate in lower price range. But this trend is not for short teem trading strategy. Short term trading (< 6 month) should stay aside and look for better trading opportunities elsewhere
Sales surge in home improvement remains consistent despite concerns regarding concerns on inflation and rapid rise in raw material costs would motivate consumers to cancel or delay projects
Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University showed that spending on renovation and repairs is expected to increase at rates higher than year-ago levels through the end of 2021. The program uses several economic indicators that have had strong correlations with remodeling spending, including the home-price index, housing starts and remodeling permits.
Q2 profit will recover to 10 sen per share if no shut down again. Q1 profit drop mainly due to extra labor cost following 4 subsidiaries shut down for 4 weeks long, of which the cost is not transferrable to customers.
The result is impacted by one-off factors so don't expect a deep dive of the share price unless it gives you another poor quarter. The EPS will normalize in Q2. What you saw is already in the past. I think the latest circumstance is quite good and that's the reason behind the higher dividend declared. Just my 2 cents here.
@cherry88 the vaccination via PIKAS at Muar is still in progress according to some news. Do you know when Liihen would be able to complete first and 2nd dose? Thanks.
https://www.sinchew.com.my/content/content_2528632.html This is the news that about one third of the furniture workers in Muar have received 1st dose. If this started from 02 Aug, based on this rate, by end of August all of the 30k over workers in Muar (all furniture companies) would be able to receive 1st dose and and about one third of these will complete 2nd dose.
According to this article, MENTERI PERUSAHAAN PERLADANGAN DAN KOMODITI (from PAS) will help the manufacturers to grant the permission to resume operation.
I guess it is close to the time to re-open, probably on 1st Sep. Maybe government will seize the opportunity to announce the permission before the National Day.
