10 CU or 100 CU, don't matter. the problem is right now, no one knows for sure how "profitable" is this venture. or if it is profitable, how long are we going to see results? 2 years? 5 years?
how long will it even take to breakeven? mynews already publicly mentioned breaking even will take several years before bearing fruits.
it's a long journey for long-term investors, which is fine but for trading purposes, people just wanna get out after making a tidy profit.
took QL 3 years to breakeven with FamilyMart, that is with the support of their other subsidiaries via cheaper food purchase and data. myNEWS also has the data, all they need is to scale things up. I think it will take a few years too, wont be surprised if it takes 3 years also.
The different is QL is profitable before FamilyMart, whereas myNEWS is struggling. CU will be an extra burden and will drain their resources. But if executed well, I think CU can make it. myNEWS needs to focus on CU and stop expanding myNEWS. or convert myNEWS into a minimart. They can have both cakes and eat it. They have to choose. If not, it becomes like Proton, selling so many varieties of cars of the same categories.
MiaoMiao7, few things here. firstly, problem is, Mynews is still expanding it's existing stores. this is available in news articles and their annual report. until today i have no idea why management still put so much hope in mynews and not focus 100% on CU. they intend to open 100++ mynews stores this year. this is something that concerns me.
and how many people can buy and hold for 3 years? it's a good warren buffett talk but doesn't quite make sense in the current bullish stock market. impatient traders would not stick to one stock if it doesn't move up anymore. just look at dataprep, AT, fintec. loss making companies with potential too but now it's in the dust. only can blame the greed of people.
they will switch to other stocks and find opportunities, otherwise they will lose out in this rare bull run. 3 years is too long time to wait for many people when now is a bull run and can easily make money by trading in and out.
Won't be 3 years, faster than that. What they will expand is a different format of Mynews stores, the one at shop lots... To be like lotus express in Thailand or speed mart.
CU and the new Mynews growth will drive profits. Good that they are already anchored into malls.. Could switch some to CU and maximise profits.
Abt 90% of the shares are owned by the top 20 shareholders and they know what to do.
CU at 1.50, it will start soon as next outlets roll out
that's solely based on your opinion. but even if it's 2 years, it's going to be a tough ride. imagine loss-making quarters for the next 2 years before seeing profitability again. might as well put the cash into better use elsewhere and revisit again, perhaps 1.5 years later.
again i'm not saying it's a bad investment. long-term investors who have plenty of cash and can hold and wait for many years are welcomed to invest in mynews.
just that for normal small-time retailers, would this be the best use of your cash right now to maximize your profits?
I hold a different view... 1. Mynews valuation is cheap 2. Mynews hasn't hit a scale in terms of outlets, they need to grow another 200 outlets to at least 700 stores 3. Their team is matured and agile, can quickly adapt and scale up operations.
4.CU is a storyline and will elevate their market standing. Sometimes you need to own a winning horse in your stable.
as of now, only one store is opened, the price went up way above it's fundamentals. real benefit to the company as a whole out of this venture remains to be seen.
management said will take several years to breakeven, so i guess traders are impatient. any good catalysts for CU have already been priced in last week.
now the share price shoot up due to the news, waiting the true value come in then the share price will continue grow slowly wakaka keep the share in safe
confirm next mth can open another 8 shops...target this year open 75 shops
last time QL share price went up double because of family mart...many people said CU shop food n ice cream are even better than family mart...at RM1 share price, i think conservatively 50 percent to 1.5 is just so not unrealistic..
family mart took so many years for family mart to grow. up till today we don't know how much family mart's profit because QL did not disclose in t heir annual report. they combined it with other business income. if dont believe, pls go and open QL's annual report or quarterly report.
is ok, u can laugh at me, just like how people laugh at me when i said BJ Corp will hit 50 sen..
people dont understand market always look forward....i lazy to argue here, because no point of doing that...let the share price proves that i m right....
instead of arguing, see u at 1.50, let Mr. Market to prove me right
Buying interest still high.. My experience with Mynews is it can.move 17sen in a day and 25sen a week... CU doing well boosting the utilisation of the central food factory.
all i can say is the news article is a conservative estimation, because the management dont wan to over promise you...the actual internal target is higher than that....anyway, dont wan to disclose too much
