If instituitions are buying, its a good signal. It's not practical for institutions to buy directly from the open market because there's not enough liquidity.They need to do on off- market basis.
Leong Hup directors are buying, how come it is still dropping and price not even sustaining on par with IPO price despite just listed recently?
Directors buying and selling cannot be view in isolation. You have to look at and sniff at what they really intent to do, at personal and corporate level.
We cant tell what exactly the director wanted to do with the money, at least collectively the 3 promoters are still controlling more than 51% of the company (not sure will he use the money to accumulate warrants).
On a corporate point of view, Revenue shares are slowly getting illiquid and shares are hard to get, i suspect the funds are upping their stakes in revenue and the public shares are getting lesser. For funds, typically they would want to take up large block and not to keep accumulating at 20,000 or 30,000 shares per transaction.
One possible move maybe they will do a private placement and then the promoter take up the private placement. But personally i don’t think Revenue will do any private placement (make no sense to go through the trouble having the money in and out, unless there will be a huge disparity in term of the issue price, but they tend to use 5D-vwaps, that most likely remove that possibility).
My best guess is instead of causing further dilution to the public shareholders after the 3 acquisitions, maybe they choose to use the promoters block to sell to funds and get ready for mainboard listing. Mainboard listing will cause dilution. I think this is a good move to protect public shareholders instead of keep issuing shares and then subsequent being disposed off at open market.
As stated in Bursa Malaysia website, uninterrupted PAT of 3-5 years, with aggregate RM20mil of PAT, the most recent full Financial Year with a PAT of at least RM6m.
Ghlsys results just out. Ghlsys EPS is 0.86 sen. Revenue's EPS is 1.14 sen. Based on annualised EPS, Ghlsys PE ratio is 42 times based on share price of RM1.43. Revenue's PE ratio is 27 times based on share price of RM 1.24.
I said it is quite likely, because based on my knowledge, that's normally how major shareholders would insist before they agree to any big off- market deals with fund managers. And it will be proven to be true if the new substantial shareholder subsequently buys from the open market and announce accordingly. And this was really done.
Revenue is raising to and above RM1.30 range whilst GHL has trend down from high of RM1.70 to about RM1.30 to 1.40 range. Given GHL market leader position, I would have expected their shares have more trading volume. But that doesnt seem to be the case.
My banker friends told me right now insti funds hold about 15% of the public floats of Revenue. So insti funds are accumulating Revenue and not GHL.
Im not sure how true is the info, i was told Revenue has secured at least 1 or 2 out of the 3 big e-com players in Malaysia and will become their their payment processor. If that is real, then perhaps that is the reason why insti is going after Revenue and seeing their potential.
Insti is banking on the cashless and digital economy. RGB also got moneylending license which they can provide loans to end-consumers and also their merchants. Interesting development will be on their moneylending venture.
Their market share in e-com is very low but they have one and biggest anchor client. I believe their focus right now is on offline merchants. Changing to Android-based terminal allows them to offer more add-on services to the merchants efficiently.
Revenue has a mixture of online and offline business model. MDR for card business, as highlighted in the MD interview with the Edge, it will soon come down, i believe mainly because it is highly regulated industry by BNM.
On the hand, those online MDR will be pretty much on a commercial terms. I do not know how true that they have secured other e-com players and under what terms, but if you read their prospectus, their e-com gross profit yield a higher percentage, mainly because of the cost structure (fixed cost per transaction) whilst charge percentage as revenue. Any increase in the spending will push the margin up.
As for offline, i understand the margin is rather stagnant. Charge percentage as revenue and also pay in percentage (cost), so whether the spending move up, they still earn the same margin.
But ultimately, both are volume game. The more EDC terminals will allow more offline transactions, more e-com players will allow more online transactions processing. But the infrastructure are already built so just process only.
