KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 11): Transocean Holdings Bhd hit limit up on Thursday morning after billionaire Tan Sri Surin Upatkoon emerged as the second largest shareholder of the company with an 18.43% stake.
The logistics service provider, which was the top gainer, surged 86 sen or 29.76% to RM3.75.
Interesting news on Surin ,though not related to MPHB.
@aliyusof, Surin’s ‘ more intimate touch’ on MPHB yet to create some spark after so long . The irony is a 18.4% maiden touch on Transocean enough to create euphoria and drove its share price to $3.75 which is a 330% ytd gains. It’s more insulting if you look into Transocean’s financial. Per 31/6/21 qtr report, Transocean has the following numbers: Revenue 1H 21. $9.3 m Profit 1 H 21. $117k EPS 0.26 sen NA. $0.81 Accumulated loss $18 m Shareholders’’ equity $38.3 m Mkt capitalization based on today’s price $$169 m ( which is 4.4 times of shareholders equity) I am speechless. Hope there will be similar euphoria once insurance sales is completed and/or new high impact business announced and/or a generous dividend is announced and/or privatization.
Generali, AXA, Affin Bank and MPHB Capital are working together to obtain the required regulatory approvals. Generali will commence the necessary integration planning to develop an organisation that leverages the skills, experience and expertise of all the staff of the combined business. The expected completion date of the acquisition is in the second quarter of 2022.
GENERALI SIGNS AGREEMENT IN MALAYSIA TO ACQUIRE MAJORITY STAKE IN AXA AFFIN JOINT VENTURES AND PLANS TO PURCHASE 100% OF MPI GENERALI 22 JUNE 2021 - 07:02
The transactions transform Generali’s activities in Malaysia to become the #2 P&C insurer in the country, in line with its strategy to strengthen its leadership position in high potential markets Generali to increase its current 49% stake in MPI Generali Insurans Berhad to 100% Generali to acquire a 70% stake in AXA Affin Life Insurance joint venture (49% from AXA and 21% from Affin) and approximately a 53% stake in AXA Affin General Insurance joint venture (49.99% from AXA and 3% from Affin and minorities) AXA Affin General Insurance and MPI Generali to be merged following the acquisitions creating one of Malaysia’s leading general insurance operations, with Generali holding a 70% stake
As announced in Generali ‘s website, the expected completion date of the acquisition is in the second quarter of 2022. The acquisition is deem completed when the share and payment change hand between buyers and sellers. Working backwards, that may means regulators approval can be secured quite soon from now for final due diligence on MPI and Axa-Affin to start . Due diligence normally takes a couple of months. I guess the final due diligence on MPI should be a lot quicker as Generali is already a 49% shareholder of MPI and have knowledge of the accounts.
@Goh, don’t risk your hard earned money to buy cheap stocks. Better buy undervalued stock . Cheap price doesn’t mean undervalued. Talam at 2.5 sen , AT at 4 sen, saudee at 6 sen etc are very very cheap , but they are probably not undervalued. Mphb cap is truly undervalued.
Now is confirmed downtrend already, don't waste your money on downtrend stock, people always confused you as so called undervalued. I will buy it again when it show bargain price at below 1.00...
@AlfI3, no worries lah . The geopolitical situation won’t get out of control . Omicron is a blessing in disguise. By 2nd qtr , economic environment and share market sentiment is likely to improve than to go worse . That’s my take.
@TheContrarian, don’t know what happened lah. I am spending most of my time posting on plantation forums since many months ago . In any case , the completion of Insurance disposal is definitely very near. I will just keep my patience for a little longer to see what next .
Per financial report as at 31/12/2021, the insurance unit is classified as discontinuing operations.. Consequently, the balance sheet as at 31/12/21 reflects Asset held for sales of $2.906,942,000 and Liability held for sales of $1,741,895,000 . That's totally separating the insurance from the assets and liablities of the remaining business/subsidiaries.
To me the complete insurance disposal is a done deal. Everyone is free to draw your own conclusion at no charge . Hahaha.....
the 49% was sold for $356 mil + some $20 mil (?) adjustment too. That was based on 2.45X price to book ratio.
I guess the remaining 51% may be based on the same valuation basis. If it is indeed based on same 2.45X price to book ratio, the 51% will fetch substantially more as the insurance unit book value has also gone higher considerably with 7-8 years of retained earnings.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
