• Valuation is cheap. Despite being the largest port operator in Malaysia, its valuation is still only less than half of its next biggest competitor, Westport.
• Dividend yield is high at between 5.4% to 6.6%. Given the low interest rate environment, this would appeal to a lot of dividend seeking investors.
• Cargo handled in 4Q20 is already passed precovid level. It is even higher that the pre trade war level which started in FY18. The largest port in the group is Pelabuhan Tanjong Pelepas where the 2M shipping alliance has decided to make it their Asean HQ Port. 2M consist of the 2 largest shipping companies in the world: Maersk and MSC.
• Bonus event. Potential monetisation of Port business via IPO. The group is looking to raised RM4bil via IPO. Assuming the amount is from the sales of up to 40% interest in the port business, this values the port business at RM10bil which is way above the current market cap of only RM2.5bil. This does not include their 38% holding in Malakoff (valued at RM1.8bil), 31% of Gas Malaysia (valued at RM1bil) and their Engineering business which is currently the main contractor for MRT2 (via JV with Gamuda). https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2020/10/23/mmc-mulls...
With Biden being the new President of US, you can expect him to overturn Trump’s America First Policy. This will make it easier for US to trade with other countries including Europe and China which will increase global trade and benefits ports operators like MMC.
DUFU is over 34% up since the last 6 months. Currently, it's only less than about 7% down since 5 days ago. Why panic? Don't think it's healthy going up without the current correction.
Drop below SMA20, TA point of view, doesn't look good. Anyway, i still have confidence in Dufu and their business prospect. Long term holders will eventually win more. Drop today is only a short term setback. As what Warren Buffett said, "Stocks market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the Patient".
