to be honest..... for a share to fly up,,,, the punter need to come in....i wonder how come they never see OCK stock at this price? Under 60 cents,,,,room for improvement .....
it need a good story and real events to make it happen. one is the strategic partner (unlock value) and two is big contract from NFCP. else, "punter" unable to tell friend what is so "great".
@holyspirit, I focus more on the towerco that gave sustainable cash flow, hence, I follow their EBITDA (how towerco is calculated) which has grown from RM60m (2016) to RM140m (2019) over last 3 years (high capex and expanding project don't bring much profits as they have huge depreciation and interest expenses). Many not familiar with towerco biz works, their cash flow exceed their accounting profits. Just take example Myanmar, turnover is RM70m, EBITDA is RM50m, depreciation itself is about RM17m.
Why it drop since 2017? 1) pre/post 2018 GE, uncertainty in telco spectrum policies, telco held back capex (change of government in 2018 also causes many many small cap stocks to drop)
2) research house too aggressive in towerco (especially Myanmar), expected to complete in 2016, but it completed in 2018. Why, when they entered agreement with Telenor, they are suppose to built according to geographical coverage and Myanmar authorities change it to population coverage (hence resubmit and approval for land, and red tapes slowed down)
3) If you take a look at their top 30 shareholdings, they past few years, I think they are taken out of Shariah, it drop when all Shariah institutions was selling it down 3 to 4%.
Instead of too concern over the past few years, lets focus in next 2-3 years:
1) OCK benefited from NFCP, this is a fact, and there is RM21.6b for next 4-5 years
2) OCK is unlocking its towers (part delay due to pandemic), as mentioned by RHB
Unlocking its towerco, meaning how much is the towerco biz is valued by private equity
1) Turnover is about RM150m (Myanmar+Vietnam+Malaysia)
2) EBITDA is about RM100m (60% of Vietnam and 100% of Myanmar & Malaysia)
3) Stategic partner (RHB) - likely EBITDA Multiple of 10x, hence, value of TOWERCO BIZ alone is RM100m x 10 = RM1.0 billion.
4) Towerco biz alone = RM1.0bil, assuming margin of error 20%, worst case, the towerco biz is RM800m. Market cap today is only RM560m (for entire group, contracts, solar and towerco)
EPF owns about 61m shares or 6.39% in OCK. EPF has shown some interest since Apr, May and June 2020, with a 4-5 million purchases. Hopefully, post CMCO, during RMCO more sectors will improve due to better sentiments in the stock markets.
1) Company that can benefit with NFCP should be ok la, even though a bit of delay here and there. RM400m per annum of contract for 5 years. OCK already awarded about RM60m, no big deal, but a positive move la.
2) More towers, more sustainable cash flows (cash flow comes first and profit comes later as they pay down their 6-7 years loan of about RM3m per annum). based on loan outstanding for towerco of RM380m @ 5%p.a. - Initial years, profits are low due to loan interest, but cash flow is reasonably good if we add back depreciation of RM36m p.a. (early years maintenance is low as some towers are new)
3) Expanding solar energy 6MW to about 12MW from acquisition of "old solar PV farm" with good tariff and with 15 years remaining concession (cash flow not bad). Again, profit may be low for initial years due to depreciation and interest costs.
SOLAR OCK's solar should be making some profits (RM5-6m) this year from the acquisitions of about RM40m (giving the acquisition payback period of 6-7 years). Hopefully they may gear up to participate in bigger solar pv projects. [btw, Slvest, making only about RM16m p.a. has a PE of 81x, imagine if only OCK solar biz say RM5m x PE81x = about RM400m.
TOWERCO Towerco EBITDA (FYE20) is about RM110m. Using multiple of 10x, EV of towerco is RM1.1b reduce net debt say RM500m, equity value is about RM600m.
CONTRACTING & ETC Analyst gave it about RM300m (have not take into account recent contracts from NFCP).
ESTIMATED VALUE Total estimated value is about RM1.2b, with 959m shares = about = RM1.25 per share Compare with share closing of 55 sen, there is a discount (margin of safety for about 50%)
Solar estimate value (for OCK) based on Slvest PE is RM400m. It is doubtful OCK may have Slvest prospects, perhaps, PE of 20x x RM5 m (PAT) = RM100m (OCK have about 11MW (based on old tariff of RM1/- perKW), an estimated cost is about RM9m per MW for old solar PV with RM1 tariff per kW, will give OCK of about RM99m at cost).
Revised Estimated Value = RM900m or about 94 sen per share. (upside 40 sen or 70% from 55sen per share)
correct me if i am wrong.....All the attention were to the glove stocks....and some of it crazily over the top already..... i think soon the punters will move attention to others tech stock company especially like OCK which in term of value is more worth attention. Don't forget nowadays working from home and everything online is crucial, so company like OCK play an important role for telecommunication sector and also sector that need connection services.
Yes, especially the infrastructure for NFCP (RM21.6b). OCK also partner with China's CITC/China Unicom (world 4th largest telco in the world) to build smart city for Penang.
