anyone checked the company's admin expenses which balloon faster than the revenue ? they kept on mentioning the associate business which pulled down their bottom line, hw about the expenses?
As the first Malaysian-owned freight service company to be listed on the Main Board of Bursa, FREIGHT has proven its resilience throughout this entire period of time. While we expect many industries to suffer from continuous lockdowns and restrictions, Freight has still managed to clock over 20mil in Profit before Tax (end 2020). On top of this we see an increase in Net Assets per Share from RM0.80 to RM1.04 (from 2016 to 2020) with a healthy cash balance of RM58mil against total borrowing of RM88.5mil (translating to a low net gearing of 0.1x - impressively low for a same-industry comparison).
Breakdown of revenue contribution by service type: land & sea freight, air freight, warehousing and logistics ; the most important to note is segmental contribution by country being Malaysia (74.7%) therefore international closures and restrictions do not severely impact revenue and bottom lines.
Increasing administrative expenses are not always viewed negatively so long as there is a valid reason for it and at the end of it if bottom lines (profit) are protected. Recent information everyone should know by now - increased freight rates v deficit of containers; this doesn't entirely harm the company if cleverly managed, we forget that many times additional costs are pushed to end consumers.
Amputation of loss making tug business arm - we should respect Freight more than being happy for them, no business should continue running a division on losses; it's not about the service itself but perhaps they are better off focusing on their core competencies. (a comparison of "management decisions" can be done with PosM if you bother to do so)
Warehousing & logistics is the past, present and future. What we're all in right now is a pandemic-induced economic and political instability; and this is the 2nd driving force on top of global eCommerce boom for the logistics sector to thrive (if they prove to be worthy). Distribution of vaccines is peanuts if you're geared up and ready to serve the online marketplace directly or indirectly.
Note: much important statistics and figures are obtained directly from Freight's AR 2020 while the rest are personal opinions and in no way intended to harm anyone else. Just to share, I was locked onto Tasco back when they were trading at 80+ cents; also another much respected company in the market. Always happy to see well managed companies doing well.
while my FREIGHT is already 200% from my cost avg, COMPLET AND SYSCORP started engine today near 10% range.
Well, fundamentally Freight still best for longterm, speculative money for COMPLET and SYSCORP. Both traded below NTA still. But I guess COMPLET has better track record in giving dividend. So perhaps a bit speculative play for me in COMPLET as its borrowing is near NIL with pile of cash since they sold assets last year.
Good luck trading. this is not a buy/sell advise. as always. just my personal nagging session.
well, for now the shipping or container plays perhaps will be case in 1H2021 only, beware on trading such stocks. I guess 2H 2021 things might be back to normal
@kopicpeng the best advice anyone should give you is to always set a cut loss no matter what stocks you're buying. no one can tell you how high or how low it will end up. if you scroll up you will see one or two comments boasting about how much he/she has earned and then giving nonsensical comments but again there are suckers like this at possibly any counter. There are many good stocks to look at, so set your own cut loss and ride with the flow.
Got some at 1.15... last minute rebounded ... not bad... one guy had a big quantity and no choice but to throw it down to the buyer all the way to 1.15...
