@speakup, I agree with you that KSeng is undervalued at today's price. However, there is no sign of any corporate activity from the company at the moment. However, for MPHB the ongoing monetization of assets, expected special dividend and eventually privatisation are some exciting development that may possibly take place within this year . It's just how the market read it
@ipohwhitecoffee, I am actually quite surprised any profit taking was very well absorbed on Friday, especially the price shot up 20% the previous day . Notwithstanding that there may be pullback along the way (which is very normal) I am.convinced thatba lot more price appreciation is on the way . I am anticipating TP of $3.00 when the privitasation kicks in. Its just my view . Do you own assessment.
@Goh123, it won’t go down well to most investors . Investors expect to be rewarded handsomely from over $1bil cash pile after the insurance sales . I will start a movement with many other minorities to block the privatization if the controlling shareholder is thinking of privatizing before compensating us with handsome special dividend first . Shareholders have not received a single sen since listing 7-8 years ago, reason is BNM is the hurdle. In fact , I am not surprised if a hostile takeover attempt is in the making . You know what I meant if you look into the balance sheet of the company and if you study in details the potential value of all the lands and properties in Penang, Selangor, kL and Pengarang. The list of properties is available in the annual report.. The day controlling shareholders taking minorities for a ride is over.
To block d majority take over, v need a sizeable % & strong holding pwr. For instant, nobody can block ijm to sell its plantation arm to KLK as d Corperate acquisition move.... My humble penny view....
@ AlfI3, if the offer from KLK to IJM is UNFAIR I am sure shareholders of IJM will definitely block the deal. Also, KLK is buying 56% stake in IJMPLANT from one single shareholder called IJM . Corp It is a 56% onwership change hand, not a privatisation exercise yet. The privatisation of IJMPLANT will come later . We will see if minorities shareholders of ijmplant will be happy with the offer at $3.10 + 10 sen dividend. The offer work out to be 2 times book value which is in fact quite fair. In the case of MPHB, if the controlling shareholders also offer 2x book value or even 1.5 times book value nobody will block the deal. If you understand the privatisation rules , you will know that minorities has the say in the end of the day . Don't you know a few unfair privatisation fail recently?? FGV, CCB , MAA , Canone. etc because minority block the unfair deal . As minorities, very important to know your rights . Don't be taken for a ride so easily. Hope that enlighten you .
@dompeilee,. For those who sold at $1.60 or below it is not the end of the game yet. I think price of $1.75 now is still very very cheap . You will know what I mean if you look at its BS and the list of properties/assets in the latest annual report.
@HuatAh8809, myself and my group of friends won't give in if the controlling shareholder's try to privatized below $3.00. We won't let controlling shareholder to take minorities for a ride anymore.
@ipohwhitecoffee,. Do you know them ? If you do , pls introduce them to me so that we can strengthen our bargaining position in the event of unfair privatisation.
@dompeilee, you are right , it reached $2.70 in 2014. If you compare the balance sheet of 2014 and balance sheet of 2020, you will see the vast difference. The company has huge cash pile and liquid investment securities now . The impending sales of 51% insurance will boost the cash pile by further $350 mil ! Moreover all the land can fetch much higher price now compare to 2014. I just wonder if there are some existing substantial shareholders work together with deep pocket investors ( other than present the No 1 biggest shareholder ) interested to try a hostile takeover of MPHB ?
