hmm.. at current price, looks like an opportunity to accumulate.. think downside is limited given its (i) strong balance sheet (net cash position), (ii) exposure to foreign currency (export play - benefiting from weak MYR), (iii) attractive dividend yield of 4-5%, providing support to share price (declaring 10sen DPS for 2015 shouldn't be an issue on the back of a good set of results YTD vs. last year of 8sen), (iv) inexpensive valuation at 9x trailing P/E while trading below BVPS as well.. Your move!!

The momentum is back after the brief respite from year high of RM2.40. This is one of the few solid counters with export exposure that is still laggard in terms of fundamental value (below NTA of RM2.51 and PE less than 10). The closest peer CheeWah stands at multiple of 11-12x. I believe UPA is worth more based on its steady dividend policy year in year out. At multiple of 11x, the FV should be RM2.50 and at 12x FV should be RM2.70. My immediate TP is RM2.40. Accummulation has been ongoing and buy rate is strong past 2 weeks. I foresee this as one of the CNY play going into the next QR.

2015-12-30 14:51

Hi all. I have done the write up. My advise is to accumulate on weakness and hold patiently for the next QR which will coincide with the strongest quarter + it is a dividend quarter.

thank you tradeview bro I will look to accumulate come market open tomorrow! Please let me know when you sell. Thanks.

Many counters previously with slightly lower valuations has flew ridiculously to a new highs. UPA is one the few fundamentally sound company with PE less than 10 and below NTA RM2.51. There is no reason not to load up UPA. The free flow is also limited which means should the next QR is good, it will have a steep upwards movement. The dividend is also in play for the next quarter. This is a counter to buy to hold. Thanks.

Morning mild profit taking after surging quite a lot yest. It is normal. UPA movement normally in the afternoon session. Rest assure for those holding. TP is RM2.77

tradeview

A complete sell down of small mid cap stocks. I did not see it coming so soon. Anyhow for holders of UPA, there is no need to worry. You can hold it and wait for the QR. The results and DY will protect your counter's baseline provided there is no unforeseen circumstances.

UPA collection looks steady. Despite the volatile market, FFHB still able to preserve their price. It would seem likely that the upcoming results and dividend is strong. I maintain collect on weakness with TP of RM2.77

UPA the new GEM??

the new planned production data rather similar to Notion.

at RM2.00, Notion mkt cap shot up by rm1.20 x 505m shs = rm600m

UPA rose from 2.0 to 3.30 level,
mkt cap increase rm1.30 x 77m shs = rm100m

what a huge gap. Notion deserves a premium for its head start.. but what is a fair premium ?

2020-08-07 11:58

But UPA production only begins end-Nov. Where the face mask trend might be going to an end.

2020-08-07 12:24

qwerting1

Notion production is already started right or they are also venturing only?

Notion = US Market
UPA = Malaysia Market

Of the 4 Bursa stationery companies, UPA had the worst gross profit margins. If you are going to hunt in this sector, I would focus on Pelikan or Asia File. https://focusmalaysia.my/asia-file-will-there-be-time-to-meet-the-digital-disruption-challenge/

The other feature of UPA is that its ROE had dropped by about half, its market price seemed to be holding. Does it meant that it is overpriced? https://i.postimg.cc/MpHddwLc/UPA.png
