A standard doji is a type of candlestick pattern that is comprised of a single ‘candle’ where the open and close price are equal (or very close) but the high and low of the candle are distant from the open and close.

even small port in lumut like integrax also can be so profitable. Westport FA surely is much better.

As i say, once the shark belly are full, it will be a smooth journey. They probably sold off a lot when trying to shake the market down, so they have to accumulate back. Just be patient.

Actually now is the best time to buy as the weak holders have been shaken out. The upside is much more than the downside considering most good stocks had already run up substantially.

The words among corporate investors........it only take one good news and Westport will fly like a rocket.....

Foreign Investors and the local fund houses accumulated West port shares aggressively at 2.55-2.56.....NON of the corporate investors are selling.....The big boys are merely doing bargain hunting and accumulate West Port shares..........

I am of the opinion that 2.60 to 2.75 or more could be soon and the price might catch up with UMW O & G....Technical Indicators and FA looks positive.......

There could be another meeting between West Port and the cornerstone investors very very soon..........cheers

Matter of time before westport shows its full worth. With a dividend payout ratio of 70%, most institution investors will pick up the shares in their portfolio. This is one of the highest ratio for blue chips.

sometimes jz envy how UMWOG perform post IPO to rather snail performance of Westport. read that in Westport only 2% are sold to the retailers during IPO, how could 2% affect the share price so much assuming most of the sold off their shares and cornerstones didn't. also the IPO was oversubscribe with strong interest from institutions, then how come they didn't zoom in when price was 2.51.. just curious..

mbge7clt...most of the buy/sell queues are by the sharks. They are trying to shake off weak holders and accumulate cheaply as much as possible before making their move.

Westport has been going up after IPO. It went soft after the news of major customer switching to PTP. But Ruben has come out to say the impact not really that big. Sentiment a bit subdued now. Give it some time. The stock will fly. World trade keeps on growing. Westport just sit there and new business will come, no worry

The sharks are blocking the path now and accumulating back their shares which they sold down...once that's clear, it will go up.

Whoever wants to buy at buyer's price or sell at seller's price must put "good till date". Otherwise need to jump queue and pay extra.

One of the things which I like to do in investment is to do some comparison among the players and have a feel in the stock. Well, the word "feel" sounds scary as it is more of an art rather than a science. There is no PE or any other valuation methods involved. My "feel" is largely successful in picking DKSH and before this blog was up - Digi. When I said feel, DKSH was not going to be a RM200 million company with what they have done. So was Digi after Telenor took over and we started to see good management (especially the early very successful marketing strategy of the yellow man, if you remember), it was not meant to be a RM3 billion company when Maxis was much larger.

Now, that same comparison is I am going to do with Westport. What do I feel as in comparison against Northport (NCB) and PTP (under MMC Corp). What do I feel about it getting listed after so many years? Just note that the listing is a way for the current shareholders to sell part of their shares - parties such as Li Ka Shing's Hutchison, Gnanalingam's family etc.

On business perspective, I really like Westport as you can see from its financial results. I like it for its focus, maybe older (first generation) management. It has however a second generation whom dwells in the largely failed QPR initiative, selling some of their stocks (after first generation did not) but with a good follow through results. Its financial performance does say something as below:



At its market capitalization of around RM8.5 billion, it is trading at slightly below 24x PE and maybe a forward PE of around 21x.

The question is this - Westport with only port operations is worth RM8.5 billion. Against its competitors, NCB which manages Northport (at RM1.7 billion, while also owning Kontena Nasional) while PTP (among the group of companies under MMC Corp) which is now worth around RM7.8 billion). Just for your information MMC Corp besides owning 70% of PTP, these are what it owns.




With that comparison, should Westport be worth RM8.5 billion? Westport is handling around 7 million TEUs while PTP (around 7.7 million TEUs) and Northport (around 3 million TEUs). This shows that Westport is largely efficient as in managing a similar volume versus PTP and with its parent's other very significant holdings, Westport's value alone overwhelms MMC Corp.

One can argue, we should not look at MMC Corp as it never really bother to price its shares to market anyway. One should not look too far beyond the practice in Tradewinds Plantation where it was later delisted with very good delisted price for the buyer.

But what about Northport? It has been a company which has been largely unexciting in terms of share price although over the last few years, dividends were good. Between the management, I would however vote for Westport but should it be priced that highly against Northport?

The sale by owners

This particular IPO by Westport is quite unique as in they do not raise capital, but it was more of a partial sale by its shareholders. My question is that, why? Pump in more money into QPR? Or is it just that they are able to garner a very good price? If that is the case, then at RM8.5 billion, Westport is very fully valued.

Potential

There is still good growth to come out of port operations, but this business is still very competitive. On top of that, the business is also one which needs large capital expenditure which makes me wonder on the non-capital raising thingy through the IPO.




You know what is the other weird thing, the second gen (young - below 40s) sells more than the first gen...(much older - 70 year old). Or could it be not as simple as that?

Just a note, the last few large IPOs in which case the owners have been largely the ones selling rather than raising capital were underperforming against the ones mainly concentrated on capital raising. In investment, I believe in feeding the hungry rather than the fully fed

just throw away this counter, it's a conman counter, you all sudah kena tipu dengan itu anak-beranak Lingam.

Why did they withhold such important info(P3) before listing?. Ananda Krishnan, Tony fernandes, AK. Nathan, Lingam all the same. :)

Don't ever subscribe for IPOs from this particular group of ppl. Expecially family-run business ones. :)
