i think the drop to RM1.1x possibly due to terrible result in Q3 coupled with the loss of syariah compliance thus some of the big funds needed to offload their portion, however as the earnings picked up (if the one off deconsolidation loss is excluded, the results should be even better), thus this stock should be able to recover in term of price

On recent quarter result :

Sales grow
Profit also grow ( exclude the one off item of deconsolidation )
Margin improving
Net assets per share is higher than share price

If drop the share price , it's time to buy more in view of new fabric mill and Vietnam expansion soon

The hot debates above on this Q4 results, lead us to the proverbial question, "Is the glass half empty or half full?"

Could it be a cause for optimism (half full) or pessimism (half empty)?

In general, optimism lead to creation of opportunities, and pessimism simply kills it.

Simply put, optimism expect good things to happen, thus often lead to taking actions that create opportunities and produce results. Whereas pessimism expect only more bad outcomes, thus would do nothing or do things that might erase or avoid any opportunities!

The worst should be over for Prolexus, after it suffered double blows with a poor Q3 and lost of Shariah status, and caused it's stock prices fell from Rm1.5x down to 1.1x, or about -25%...

The optimism are based on the following facts :
1. This Q4 turned out to be better than expected, 2. The NPM improved to 7.9% vs last Q4's 8%, despite deducting Rm4.18M one-off loss.
3. They are close to regaining Shariah status now,
4. The Company management turned more optimistic now, they expect a "Stable market" instead of "Challenging market" in the past.
5. The Company is fast-tracking the Fabric Mill construction, this will boost their revenue and NPM substantially next year.
6. The TPP was stalled after US has withdrawn, and then US market slowdown, so on hindsight the Vietnam apparel factory's construction delay seems to be a blessing in disguise.

The P/BV ratio has drastically reduced from about 1.28 before end-June down to about 0.9 now, or about -30%, it should be more attractive now.

Prolexus price may drop a few sen tomorrow, it should be temporary, because many investors only read the QR's 1-page "Summary", without doing a deeper analysis, and some retailers don't even read the QR at all. They may react to sell irrationally, that partly contribute to the market inefficiency, that creates buy opportunities.

After these selling stop, the bargain hunting by smart investors will cause the price to recover.

No, P/E is 9.17x correct per i3investor. FD P/E is around 11x when counted in all warrants exchanged to Prolexus shares.

Based on the latest QR, T4Q EPS = 13.27 (basic), 12.31 (diluted), and last Friday's closing price Rm1.15, the T4Q PE should be 8.67 (basic), or 9.34 (diluted).

The latest QR should provide the most accurate data, including the latest share base issued.

The latest share base issued is actually adjusted based on "Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue" for the period...

R40s, I don't care about weighted average. I use the most conservative method, i.e. I take the number of shares issued as at the end of the period. That's what matters. Using the weighted average is not of any use really and gives you comfort where there should be none.

Yeah..., some accounting practices are dubious and some rules are made to fool the majority... Some research analysts take even more conservative approach, they would take the maximum share base assuming all the ESOS and Warrants get subscribed, and disregard all the subscription and conversion money received by the company as zero... They often wait till the new factories start to run full steam with new orders taken fully, RM get thrashed again, wait for Shariah status to be reinstated, etc, etc... Then only they recommend "Strong Buy" or upgrade their price targets...

Just by depositing the cash in syariah compliant financial institutes, reducing the amount of cash deposited in Syariah non compliant financial institutes to below 33% of the total assets, Prolexus will regain its Syariah Compliant Status.

Isn't it easy?

@joni, to be fair QoQ is irrelevant due to the fact that there seems to be an element of cyclicality to the earnings of Prolexus.

@R40s, just analyse the past 5 years quarterlies and you will see some evidence of cyclicality. The management may not feel it is of material significance, but there is definitely something there.

Don't look at 5-years ago, their business has grown so much over the past 5 years, any seasonality effect would be masked by such tremendous growth...

If u guys look at the latest Q3 vs Q4, Revenues 61.7M vs 90.4M, and Net Profits 1.59M vs 7.1M, this is definitely not due to seasonality...

Any way, the reason for having both QoQ and YoY comparisons, is for us to detect seasonality and cyclical effects, so both are relevant...

Despite the syariah issue, EPF still continue to acquire the shares of PRLEXUS? not all EPF need to comply with the syariah status?

Prlexus share price dropped from RM1.57 on 30/6/2017 to RM1.12 on 26/9/2017 after announcing a poor set of Q3 financial result with eps of 0.93 cts. However, eps has rebounded to 4.14 cts in Q4 giving the co a low PE of 9.80. Share price has also rebounded to RM1.24 on Friday 6/10/2018. This counter is still undervalued.

@ SuperLaber, see this news link:

http://www.asiaasset.com/news/EPF_shariah_SG1708_FS_DM.aspx

EPF has allocated Rm100b as Shariah Fund (14.67% of EPF funds) for 2017, now fully subscribed. The other 85.33% are non Shariah funds, that's why their buying of Prolexus shares without Shariah-compliance status.
