MAYBULK (5077): Company Shares Transactions

Re-deployed the capital released by 7-dividend-earning PBA & 5-dividend earning KPS into more of an investment that will give me yet another bumper dividend, this time well before Christmas!🤗

Pity. This company is no longer the same company as it was 10-18 years ago.
Last annual report showed it only has 3 vessels left. Customer concentration risks are high.
Market cap is only RM305 million - a small company, no longer a shade of what it was 10-18 years ago.

Last Balance sheet showed 19+ sen cash. NTA 52 sen. Trading at 30.5 sen, so, undervalued by P/NTA basis and interesting.
However, business appears fairly valued (?). My estimate of 1 year EPS is around 1.2 sen. Excluding cash, the business is available for sale at 30.5 sen - 19 sen = 11.5 sen i.e. P/E of < 10, which is very fair for the future earnings from the 3 vessels.
Total cash is around 190 million + meaning they can't scale / grow their business in the future - if they use the entire 190 million to buy 2-3 vessels, that cash is gone.
If they pay out the 190 million + cash as dividends, market is going to drop down ex-div. We already seen that market is pricing fairly - on the last ex-div date, price fell 1.5 sen, exactly equal to the dividend paid out. At this juncture, this is now a penny stock with little upside / downside prospect.

It's not clear to me what happened to MAYBULK. I haven't monitored for over a decade and suddenly noticed this business is nothing like the business that it was 10-18 years ago. It looks to me this company is now ceasing / substantially reducing market's interest.

If you are a Book Value investor and are very patient, perhaps accumulating at low prices and hoping for a price spike to sell out may work out, but this can test even the most patient investors. Keep such plays a small % of one's capital.

For me, my rule is that the dividends must be funded by a % of earnings. If EPS is 1.2 sen and DPS is 1 sen, that's 3.3% of 30 sen price which is similar to FD rates and doesn't beat EPF, so, I'll pass. Sure, I'll grant that MAYBULK might use some of its cash to enhance the DPS to be larger than 1 sen, however, it will reduce its cash and limits its future ability to grow its fleets i.e. the more cash it distributes as dividends, the less chance it can grow its business in the future.

Just documenting my thoughts here for my own future reference to remind me to pass this trade.

Maybulk is my 4th Gem

History of Maybulk
2Ys & Goh bot fr Robert Kuok, while stock @ 0.54 in 2022 April.
2Ys sold to Goh @0.425 a year after.

Core biz:
Shipping, profit margin 20－25%. Biz nature is a CYCLE biz.

Latest exercises:
~Capital reduction on 23Q3
~Venturing into shelving and storage biz, with profit margin ~13%
~Ship sale at 140m on Nov 2023, which will be in 23Q4 (estimate on end of February)

Attractive Points:

~potential spwcial dividend of 0.10
~Dividend payout ~100% @0.01 with the yield 3% @0.33

~Value relization theme
~Estimate normal annual Net Profit 5－10m, EPS 0.005－0.01. If value the biz at PE 10, this translate into 0.10 for current biz

Brother @Alex_Kho, please don't simply create article that can misleading investor ya.

MAYBULK has already sold most of its vessel, now left only 1 vessel.
And this vessel has been chartered to customer at fixed rate long term contract, so the fluctuation in shipping rate will not have impact on MAYBULK.

Technically, MAYBULK is no longer a shipping / Logistic company, now its main business is manufacturing of the steel racking system.

Here are the extraction from latest QR:-

Revenue and profit from the shipping bulkers segment is expected to be stable throughout the year 2024 as the only remaining vessel, Alam Kuasa, is under long-term contract at fixed contracted rate subject to bunker price adjustments and will not be affected by open market
charter rate volatility. However, the results of the coming quarter will be affected by dry docking of the vessel for scheduled maintenance.

2024-06-12 01:33

Albukhary

Only 1 vessel, Alam Kuasa.
And take note that for the coming quarter, it has been schedule for dry docking, so revenue will drop due to the dry docking.

2024-06-12 01:34

thanks for the comment. i did mention is a short term thing to capitalise the on-going conflict in the middle east that is sending frieght rate soaring.

Note:
Higher Risk: With higher potential returns come higher risks. Maybulk’s stock is more volatile, meaning its price can swing more dramatically. This is not a “set it and forget it” kind of stock — it requires active monitoring.

With the co's latest reported net cash, it can mop up ALL of its free-float of 540 mil shares with $16.5 mil left to spare...and has already bought up 13.277 mil shares since August.
