Every year at the beginning of the year, investment banks would recommend some stocks which they think would out-perform the market. Maybank, Public Bank, CIMB, TM, Tenaga, Digi, Axiata, Sime, AirAsia etc, the same ones are always on the lists. Nothing wrong with the recommendations as most of them would do well I believe. But the problems of these recommendations are:
1. Almost every investment bank is recommending the same companies, is there any chance that they would earn extra-ordinary return as everyone is chasing the same stocks?
2. Nearly all funds, local or foreign own them because of the liquidity which is good. But if every fund has to own them, won’t the price been chased up long ago to its intrinsic value?
3. Is there any conflict of interest with the investment banks who have funds holding these stocks, or have business dealing with the companies recommending these stocks?
4. Most companies recommended are big capitalized companies. What is the potential of high growth in order to achieve high return in the future?
5. These stocks are well known by everybody in the market, the institutions and retail players. What is the chance that they are selling at bargain price, and hence the chance of high return?
Do you have any hidden gem which is tucked in some where undiscovered, unloved and institutional investors have no mandate or interest to buy them for the time being, and selling at bargain price. The chance to earn 50% return a year, a double bagger, five baggers or even ten baggers. An ugly duckling which would turn to a beautiful swan in the near future? Which one and why?

judge for yourself, if anyone is accusing anybody here.
Hoh, suddenly a ghost appeared and the first post (12.42pm) disappeared. Another one which looked the same, but it is not, the word "revenue" has been changed to "profit". It appeared at 12.48pm, just one minute before my 12.49pm post. Tell me if there is a ghost?

Posted by Chang Chiang > Jul 24, 2013 11:16 AM | Report Abuse Dear Kc, what is ur view on Whitehorse ( code 5009 ). Is it a hidden gem worth investing? I apologise to bringing this up again, but i really would like to know ur view on it before i make any long term investment no it. It is in the tiles business that i consider not that competative in Malaysia. And the current price at 1.69 is much lower then it NAV of 2.94 . Dividend is almost 6% . My main concern is there seems to be not much interest in it and the price seems to be stucked. Pls guide me.
White Horse Berhad is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of ceramic and homogeneous tiles. The Company's products include ceramic wall tiles, ceramic floor tiles, porcelain granite tiles, porcelain stones tiles, Porcelain tiles and multi-effect granite tiles.
My opinion is White Horse is in a very competitive industry. Net profit margin is thin at only 7.1% last year. This pulled down its ROE and ROIC to only 6.2% and 5.2% respectively last year, way below the costs of capital. The quality of its earnings is poor, with CFFO way below its earnings. In both years, after spending on capital expenses, there is on average, a negative cash flow of 14.4m the last two years. So it is not surprised that its net borrowings has increased by 34m last year. So there is no way White Horse can be classified as a good company according to my metrics. We can only see if it is a value buy using the 5 yardsticks of ColdEye.
1 ROE 6.2% No Net profit 41879 Equity 675706 2 Cash flows, average CFFO 38990 <51241 No FCF -14373 Negative No 3 PE ratio 9.3 <10 OK Price 1.690 EPS 0.1825 4 Dividend yield Dividend , sen 0.10 Dividend yield 5.9% >3.5% Yes 5 Price/NTA 0.57 <0.8 Yes NTA 2.940
As you can see from the above table, there are more “no” than “yes” according to ColdEye’s yardsticks. The only yes are its dividend yield of 5.9% and Price-to-book of 0.6. But bear in mind that the dividend of 10 sen per share was paid with additional borrowed money, not from CFFO.
As for its high NTA, also be reminded that a lot of the assets are in property, plant, and equipment , receivables and inventories. These stuff are poor quality assets and are unlikely to fetch close to its book value when in liquidation.
So fundamentally, I would avoid this company. But as its share price movement? I really don’t know.
Dear Kc, thank you so much for taking ur time to look on it. After reading the info's you found, and your research, it is very clear why there are not much demand for it. It is very clear that it is not a hidden gem. Guess i will have to look further for the real hidden gem.
4. PE RATIO, DIVIDEND YIELD, BOOK VALUE PE RATIO 71.898 9.156 12.462 13.018 16.229 Dividend Yield 0.00 0.07 0.06 0.18 0.05 Payout ratio 0% 64% 71% 231% 88%
5. BOOK VALUE, NET TANGIBLE ASSET, EV Net asset per share 1.49 1.54 1.37 1.37 1.70 Price/NTA 1.71 1.67 2.31 2.39 1.87 EV/Ebit 63.87 9.79 8.10 9.32 8.98 EV/EbitDA 63.87 7.40 6.73 8.44 7.07
Posted by yfchong > Jul 25, 2013 10:26 AM | Report Abuse Bro KC, refering to your comment what are the items to be classified as good quality assets. Thks
Money, money money. Yes cash and cash equivalent is the best quality asset. don't you agree?
Other good quality assets like investment in a good profit generating subsidiary and associates, high rental yield investment in properties, etc.
TeckChuan Lee, Looking at the tabulations you have made for Star, it does appear that it is a good company to invest in.
Actually it should be doing well as most English papers readers would have bought Star as the daily paper to read. There is not much competition from other English papers. I used to buy this paper every day last time. But now I am not living in Malaysia, so no more buying. But the thing is if I am still there, I wouldn't be buying it any more. First I do not like the paper being controlled by MCA. And it is being used as a political tool. I dislike that. I think many people also feel the same. So I prefer to read online news now. I even subscribe to Malaysiakini. If Star can be independent of political influence from MCA, I think it will do better.
Putting that aside, we now look at how has it been performing. First it has some growth in its revenue and earnings, not much but respectable. It has very good operating efficiencies, with ROE and ROIC of 18% and 14% respectively from your tabulations. Not sure why ROIC has dropped so much from the 20s previously.
Best Star has very good cash flows. Its quality of earnings is good with CFFO always larger than NI. It has very good free cash flow, more than 10% of revenue and invested capital. this is what I like most.
With a PE ratio of 9.1 and enterprise value 10 time ebit, i think it is not overly expensive in view of its business and operating efficiencies.
Wait until Star get away from MCA, then maybe I will invest in it.
Dear kc. Can you guide me on Trade receivable at footnote section?
Example : Mega First (MFCB) FY2012 Report page 83
1. I would like to know more about unbilled account receivables. Where to find them in page 83? what is the total amount of unbilled A/R?
2. How much of unbilled A/R is considered unhealthy? how do you set your benchmark?
3. How do they make adjustments to A/R, to increase quarter or FY revenue, operating profit and net income? I understand that accountants tend to over estimate completion of projects to increase revenue
4. On page 83, 'Advance for Don Sahong Project' & 'Advance for plantation project'. ???
5. Unbilled A/R is very common in project based companies, IE SP Setia or Trop. Unhealthy?
Note. Percentage-of-Completion Accounting Part 1, Chapter 2 (Aggressive Revenue Recognition) Whats Behind The Numbers.
desmondliew99@yahoo.com & i do create my own calculations in excel format too & the ev/ebit etc is not tallied with yours so i doubt i compute the wrong thing into my templates (i totally dont have any knowledge of accounting)
footnote section? unbilled A/R? Teck Chuan, you got me. i seldom go into such detail. And do you also know that I am not an accountant?
The term unbilled receivables appears to me to mean the sale, or part of it, is not billed to the buyer yet. For example, a property developer has not billed the buyer on a stage completion of a house.
So it may mean that there is an understatement of the revenue and income for that period. So for the next period, the revenue and income will be more than actual when the "unbilled" part is billed. In this case , the developer may try to smoothen its earnings volatility. Not sure I am correct or not.
No idea if it is healthy practice or not or how much is healthy. Do you really have to go into such detail?
Techchuan, let's go to the following link which I set up for discussions of fundamentals and leave this thread for others to suggest and discover hidden gems, ok?
Hi kcchong, I notice that a lot o people are askinh waht is the TP of this counter or that counter. To me there is no such thing as a target price as what the expert analysts forecast in their report as prices changes with time. when an analyst forecast, say the price of a counter is RM2 based on the current price of RM1.50. Later when the price shoots up to RM2.20 the same guy will come out with a higher TP of RM3 and it goes on and on. Same happens when the price falls. What is your take on this ?
inwest88, 100% agree with you. Analysts change their target prices, sometimes very frequently like you said. When you give a target price, don't you base it on the company's business; what they may earn for the next few years? How come this changes so often.
In short analysts many analysts don't know what they are talking about.
Thanks kc, for your prompt comment and agreement. I always wonder that if these analysts are so good in their forecasting and prediction, why waste time working as analysts in stockbroking firms and investment houses
Tis goeth down to a fundamental aspect that “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest” - Benjamin Franklin
And also inwest88, don't hope to make money waiting for insiders to goreng the stock. They won't goreng for you to make money. They goreng to make money for themselves, from people like us.
inwest88, this is my recent post for Mudajaya. Please note that there were some recent news that one of Mudajaya's problems in coal supply (?) may have been solved. If it is so there may be some renewed interest in this stock. However, I don't think this is the only problem of Mudajaya in India.

Stock Analysis ============== Curr Price = 2.56 PER = 5.94 Div Yield = 2.54 P/Book Ratio = 1.26 Graham Number = 7.50 PEG = 0.19
Mudajaya certainly is a growth stock from 2005-2010. Revenue and net profit (NI) grew at the speed of bullet train. However after that, though revenue continue to grow, NI has stagnated. This is natural as Mudajaya grew to a giant size, it is harder to grow any more. Hence I would stop calling Mudajaya a growth stock from now on. But does MudaJaya qualifies as a value stock. Let us evaluate using Cold Eye's 5 yardsticks.
1) ROE is 23% tick 2) The quality of earnings for last year was fantastic. CFFO is 234% of NI and FCF is abundant at 29% of revenue, tick. 3) PE ratio at 6.5, <10, tick 4) Dividend of 9 sen, or DY of 3.5%, more than FD rate, tick. 5) Price-to-book of 1.3 <1.5, ok and tick
Hence Mudajaya qualifies as a value stock in all aspects.
I think there are two major reasons for the undervaluation of Mudajaya; one was the poor credibility of its management which investors have not forgotten yet. Secondly, I have doubt about its power plant in India. There are many political, social, economical, etc issues about this power plant development in India.
