The new CX-3 & Mazda 3 are really looks Elegant and Attractive.. already saw quite a lot of units on the road.. But unfortunately in this slump market, Banks were set their high standard on the loan approval and the forex exchange factors... affect the all motor sales...!! But I very confident on Mazda.. Once economy recover, the sales must be doing Excellent.... Of course the Share Price Too.....!!!
Initiating coverage with Outperform; price target of RM2.59 MER initiates coverage on Berjaya Auto, the sole distributor of Mazda cars in Malaysia and the Philippines, with an Outperform rating and a price-earnings ratio (PER) - derived target price (TP) of RM2.59, implying c.22% upside. In Malaysia, checks with other auto-players, dealers and bankers reaffirmed MER’s view that 2016’s total industry volume (TIV) will likely decline YoY, or be flat at best. Nonetheless, Mazda’s new launches and competitive pricing via Completely Knocked Down (CKD) units will likely see further market share gain (c.2% currently), driving an earnings per share (EPS) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of c.13% over FY16-18E. At the current level, MER thinks Berjaya Auto looks attractive, with dividend yields of 4.6%/5.1% for FY16E/FY17E providing downside protection.

Berjaya Auto - Management Buyout Author: PublicInvest | Publish date: Wed, 13 Apr 2016, 10:03 AM
Berjaya Group Bhd (BGroup), a substantial shareholder of Berjaya Auto (BAuto), announced that it had entered into a MoU with key management of BAuto (BAuto Management) on the proposed disposal-cum-injection of up to an aggregate of 31.88% equity interest in BAuto into a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for a total consideration of RM766.75m or at RM2.10 per BAuto share. Essentially, it is a management buyout and we view this positively as it would dilute BGroup’s interest in BAuto and also suggest higher dividend payout by BAuto in the future. Our Outperform call on BAuto is maintained at a target price of RM2.58 pegged to 13x FY17F.
Details of the SPV. BAuto management will inject up to 114.5m shares amounting to RM240.5m at RM2.10 per BAuto share, translating to 10% equity in BAuto into a SPV. In return, the SPV will issue 240.5m new shares at RM1.00 par value to BAuto management, which represents a 66.7%-stake in the SPV. In addition, Berjaya Group will dispose its entire 21.9% stake in BAuto (250.6m shares) for RM526.3m or at RM2.10 per BAuto shares to the SPV. This proposed disposal will be satisfied via the issuance of 120.25m shares at RM1.00 par value, representing 33.3% stake in the SPV. The balance of RM406.01m will be satisfied in cash. Hence the SPV is expected to finance the cash consideration with bank borrowings. Upon completion, the SPV will own up to 31.9%-stake in BAuto. Our take. We view this positively as we expect BAuto to distribute a higher dividend payout to its shareholders to help the SPV to repay the debt, amounting to RM406.0m. Currently, we assume a 40% payout ratio for FY16F and FY17F, which translates to a DPS of 7.1sen and 7.9sen for the respective years or a decent dividend yield of about 3.5%. We maintain our Outperform call at target price of RM2.58 pegged to 13x FY17F. We like BAuto for its asset light business model, sustainable profit margin, and attractive dividend payout.

what does this mean it is possible for BAuto to raise its dividend payout ratio from an estd. 50% presently to possibly as high as 70% to help defray the acquisition cost? Why would BAuto distribute a higher dividend payout to its shareholders to help the SPV to repay the debt? May someone explain?
I think the purpose of the SPV is to hand more control to the BAuto Management instead of BCorp/BGroup, so in order to repay the debt raised by the SPV, higher dividend is expected for share holder the SPV to repay the debt. This will also benefit the small fish like us, sitting there and waiting for high dividend payout.
