Pintaras: Benefit From Big Construction Wave & Appealing dividend yields.
-Strong Balance Sheet.- As at 30 June 2017, it had liquid assets (86% cash and 14% portfolio investment ) worth a total of MYR 208.5m or MYR1.27/share.
Its net cash of RM179m or RM1.09/share ( c.28% of its current market cap ) should support net DPS of 20 sen (net yield of 5.2%).
-Appealing dividend yields. DPS of 20 sen was declared in FY17. Given the current low yielding environment, Pintaras stands out as an excellent dividend play with annual dividend yield of 5.2%.
-Potential shortage of piling industry capacity.- Order book stands at RM50m as at 31 Aug 2017. Although the outstanding order book is low at RM50m, Pintaras has a good chance to win contracts with its readily available capacity, given the potential shortage of piling industry capacity. The management will be able to secure more new contracts from its current high tender book of RM1.2bn, which includes works for LRT Line 3 and Bandar Malaysia projects. Property developers are focusing on high-density mixed development projects, which require more piling works. Hence, Pintaras will benefit from higher demand for bore piling services in 2H.
waiting for my next dividend payment on 12/01/2018....wow, 20 sen total amount of dividend this year same like last year....very very happy.....as long they keep paying me a good dividend every year, i shall add some more in my stock.......malaysia boleh!!!
Excluding the one-off gains on disposals and the fair value loss on financial assets, 1Q19 result would have actually been a lot lower than the reported RM2.8mil profit (core profit would have been around RM500k). Investors are worried that the margins compression seen in 1Q19 will stay for the foreseeable future given the challenging market for piling services at the moment. Other piling companies like Econpile and Ikhmas Jaya also recorded lower profit margins in their recent quarterly result.
With a depleting orderbook of only RM300mil (potentially can last until end of FY20) the company will be desperate in getting new contracts to replenish its orderbooks. The negative outlook of the construction industry (due to government decision to review, delay or cancel big projects) and property industries (developers are scaling back on new launches) might make it challenging for Pintaras Jaya to asked for higher margins when submitting their tenders given that there will be a lot more contractors eyeing for a smaller pie of any future projects.
Near future earnings will mainly derive from the Singapore market (via their newly acquired Pintary International which has 70% of the orderbook value). However, it is still not sure what will the margins be for the Singaporean market. Full quarter contribution can only be seen in the 2Q19.
If the company managed to achieve a Pat of RM10mil for FY19 (assuming the Singapore business managed to deliver a higher profit margin), at the current share price, Pintaras Jaya would still be valued at 38x PE which is very high for a company with limited orderbooks, declining profit margins and operating in the construction industry which is currently trading at an average of below 10x PE.
If you are looking to diversify your portfolio outside of Pintaras Jaya (due to its relatively high valuation and weak earnings outlook), I would recommend you to look at MBMR.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 6.9x PE (based on target FY18 profit of RM145mil. 9m profit is already RM106mil). PB is low at only 0.7x BV. 4Q18 results is expected to be higher than 3Q18 and last year's 4Q17.
FY19 growth will be driven by the still high demand of the new Myvi and the newly launched SUV Aruz and also the newly revamp Alza in 2H19. The recent announcement of closure and potential disposal of the loss-making alloy wheel manufacturing business alone is expected to boost the company’s profit by an additional RM20mil. I am projecting a profit to shareholder of RM170 mil for FY19 which at the current price values MBMR at only 5.9x PE.
Please go through the analyst reports (https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/pt/5983.jsp) and do your own analysis before making any decisions. There are 8 analysts in total covering the stock with most of them having a TP of above RM3 (all have a buy rating). The average TP for the 8 analysts is around RM3.50.
Pintaras' foray into Spore is starting to pay off. If it weren't for RM7.8mil in FV loss in investments, the net profit for the 2Q19 quarter would have been at least RM9mil...
