jolie investment bang...can you pls spread more rumours here and cause icon to crash to your TP 0.40...plsplsplease...i want to buy low la...i scared next week with this news icon will fly....again..
KUALA LUMPUR (Apr 30): Ekuiti Nasional Bhd (Ekuinas), which owns 42% in Malaysia's largest pure play offshore support vessel (OSV) provider Icon Offshore Bhd — and one of the largest in Asia now in terms of the number of vessels it owns — is confident of unlocking the value of the company.
Ekuinas chairman Raja Tan Sri Arshad Raja Tan Uda said the government-linked private equity fund will stay invested in Icon Offshore and continue to add value to the company.
“We believe in the future of Icon Offshore, and we would like to stay invested in the company and add value to it,” he told reporters at a media conference in conjunction with the release of Ekuinas 2014 financial performance.
Icon Offshore, which was only listed on the local exchange on June 25 last year, has been in the news of late due to the remand to its chief executive officer Dr Jamal Yusof and chief operating officer Rahman Yusof by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), to facilitate and assist in investigations conducted by the MACC.
Both directors are now on a six-month leave of absence to focus on assisting the MACC in its ongoing investigations, according to the group.
Born from a merger of two OSV players — Tanjung Offshore Bhd's OSV arm and Omni Petromaritime Sdn Bhd — Icon Offshore provides support services throughout the offshore oil and gas cycle from exploration and appraisal, to field development, operation and maintenance and decommissioning.
The company also provides ship management services to third party vessel owners.
Meanwhile, on the potential divestment of its loss making Burger King franchise, Ekuinas chief executive officer Datuk Abdul Rahman Ahmad said that Ekuinas is open to discussions with interested parties on the matter.
“[After the proposed acquisition of Burger King by Brahim’s Holdings Bhd was blocked by its shareholders,] Ekuinas has been focused on turning around Burger King’s operations. At the same time, we are open to discussions on the divestment of Burger King, as we believe a third party with the operational and financial capabilities will be able to add [more] value to Burger King," said Abdul Rahman.
He added that the quick service restaurant business, such as Burger King, has a longer gestation period for turnaround, due to the scale of its operations.
“The potential divestment amount that we would be looking at would be around the same range that was discussed earlier with Brahim’s (fundamental: 0.35; valuation: 1.20),” said Rahman.
In November last year, the inflight catering company, via its subsidiary Brahim’s Trading Sdn Bhd, together with private equity fund Quantum Angel, had intended to buyout the fast food franchise for RM95 million cash from Rancak Selera Sdn Bhd, a unit of Ekuinas.
For 2015, Rahman said Ekuinas will be looking at undertaking investments of between RM500 million and RM600 million.
“We aspire to deliver an investment rate of between RM500 million to RM600 million. In some years we [have] achieved those numbers, and in some we fell short ... on which sectors we would focus, on it would be in healthcare as we [do not have a presence in that]. As hospitals are dominated by the larger players, we would be looking more into services within the healthcare space," he said.
In its financial year ended Dec 31, 2014 (FY14), Ekuinas undertook 9 direct and outsourced investments with a total committed capital of RM605.8 million, bringing its total cumulative committed investments to 33, with committed capital of approximately RM2.4 billion, which, together with private capital, facilitated a total capital deployment of RM3 billion.
The Ekuinas Direct Tranche 1 Fund recorded a gross portfolio return of RM677.1 millon, which translated to a gross annualised internal rate of return (IRR) of 19.6% and a net annualised IRR of 15.3%, exceeding its long-term minimum target return of 12% per annum.
Ekuinas' second fund, Ekuinas Direct (Tranche II) Fund achieved a gross portfolio return of RM148.4 million, translating to a gross annualised IRR and an annualised net IRR of 31.9% and 19.3%, respectively.
really stupid.... do you think ekuinas CEO will talk like this in the conference " Yeah.... this icon really cannot be help some-more. I will make sure Ekuinas sell this icon share until kosong. "
Sure there will talk the same thing like burger king when brahim don't want to buy this lousai burger.
Cipapo.... don't let me call you stupidocipapo since you don't want the title Dr.
Icon has an order-book of about RM760.2mil and has won six of the eight packages offered by Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd under the latter’s umbrella contract for the provision of spot charter of marine vessels.
as long as the CEO is not removed ( six month leave is not consider remove) , there will be uncertainties in this ctr. Therefore, this ctr have no chance to move upwards in the next 6 months. who dare to put in their money into this ctr for the next 6 months ?
Look at Benalec, one the director that involve in the unfair business transition internally . Once he is removed and resigned from the board , then only benalec share price have some air to breath. If not, it will continue downwards. Benalec's board act fast to remove it quickly within 2 months. Not like icon,, take 6 months to investigate somemore, not remove or sacked yet..... this kind of issue will be a cancer to the company.
jolie2 you must know how long RM760million(no body said it will be cancelled if CEO on leave or charged by MACC) order book Icon currently have can last. I checked last year revenue(2014) is RM319 million so easily the order book can last more than 2 years. CEO absence in 6 months will not affect Icon greatly. Please mention your Armada currently order book how much and I can judge whether Armada is better priced than Icon or Alam that you also recommend.
I haven't included umbrella contract revenue so the figure is even higher. So total current order book can last almost 3 years assuming no further new contract received this year.
If Capt Hassan Ali perform well during Dr Jamal during leave of absence; Ekuinas as major shareholder should promote him as permanent CEO and sack Dr Jamal and COO.
tan sri, i;m not saying the umbrella is cancelled or not, i'm just saying there are many hidden things that we as retailer do not know about it. This kind of uncertain things won;t not move the stock price eventhough the umbrella is big or small, pretty or attractive. This is the facts for a counter that have such issue and the issue not fully closed . Left hanging for another 6 mths.
Look at Enron... this US energy company is so big in market cap but still sunk after having accounting scandal.
Armada have strong management. Book order big or small will not affect them so much. It will recover back once oil rebounce. They don;t have corporate governance issue and will recover from bottom
Jolie2, I don't have major in Economic. I rely on my boys (not my son) and my friends to advise me which stock to buy. Since my boys and my friends are in the market, they are the ones recognise icon and barakah in a same category.
I do know that Ekuinas has been trying to restore the price to more than its IPO value including made some announcement before.. The only thing that they didn't do is to issue dividend.
Since icon has been enjoying good profit, I believe you can anticipate the next action by Ekuinas. Anyway, my strategy is very simple, I buy when the price already at bottom like this counter and sell it when overbought.
when the price 90 cents, people talking about cheap (bottom already) when the price 80 cents, people talking about cheaper (bottom somemore) when the price 70 cents, people talking about cheapest (cukuppp bottom) when the price 60 cents, people talking about cheapesssssssssssssssst Now it is below 60 cents and reaching to 50 cents, (cukup bottom until 7 feet underground) This "people" is still at the DENIAL STAGE. Hopefully, this people go to temple this Wesak Day and pray for God to wake them up rather than blinded by greed.
tan sri; don't insult those people that do not have any degree like you. The successful person in the world, like steve jobs, bill gates, kuok don't even have degree. Those are street smart person. Be more humble.
Aiyah... last time difference b'cos last time this dr jamal is not really caught by macc yet. That's why i rate high. Now appear on news already somemore you want me to rate high-kah ? Those graduate analysis (having CFA / CPA degree) can still rate high-lah but not me as i3 analyst anymore.
By the way, i'm only having standard 6 leaving school certificate.
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....
