Hi, could I know if this is a good share to buy. Seems undervalued and also both voting and non voting seem to have bottomed out.

Thanks for any advise.

no idea to tell, whether it is good share to buy or not.
surely, you must be having some good reasons ,to see these are undervalued.
If you mention those, probably others (including myself) may be able to comment on the basis of judgement.

To identify undervalue counter, you only need to see FS and its sector. Not need other people comments over which others evaluate ..

@awije
For me this is a one of best counters at CSE. I mean fundamentally, as per its sector valuation and future prospect. Still this is investment holding but sooner it will be changed as diversified holdings. Then only people will chase...

Unable to understand the "Good Point " here.
How come , changing the sector classification by SEC ,will result in .. "Then only people will chase..."
I can understand some temporary bump. But will there be permanent upward price revision , just because change of categorization, without any change within the company ?
Do SEC investors that immature ?

Some persons who trade on the CSE are merely chasing rainbows, hoping to make a quick buck. Their investment horizon is typically short term. To answer your question: Yes, some of them are immature and fickle-minded.

Have you ever read RHL Income statement? Do you know its NAVP of RHL? Have you noticed there Turnover increment due to acquisition of subsidiaries? Then come to the point.. Do any Diversified holdings trade at 60% of its NAVP share in Mainboard? Most of them are atleast 1.5 times of its NVAPs. You got to think about this. And also remember RHL platation exposure is almost null and very good export generator. So few Diri savi board diversified holdings which trade at low price cannot be a proxy for RHL.

Definitely there should be a Jump when it becomes foreigners' kid. People always forget past within 2-3 months then they entirely forget where it comes from.
I never heard SEC investors.. Can you buy shares from SEC? According to investopedia 99% of investors are followers and badly affected by emotions. Smarts are just few.

Thank you Jana1, I am not an expert and takes me a lot of time to understand the FS but looking at RHL to me it seems to be trading at a discount when compare with the sector pe, nav, pbv also last quarter earnings are good. I wanted to see the reaction of others before buying. Thanks again.

I think you got to be caution with last year EPS-5. That came from property revaluation and it is one off. It will not generate again. Only one quarter of the year they do revaluation. Annual EPS of 6-7 is more appropriate to RHL at present condition. Once mkt is up they will probably give rights to take money to invest in mkt thereafter their profit would be over 10. That is my understanding about RHL.

Yes. RHL price will improve because of company's performance. They just bought many companies through subsidiaries ( Coco, RAL)- what will happen in 1-2 years time when those companies' profit accumulate? It will become cash rich company and there is no exposure to finance, plantation and motor sector which perhaps get hammered within next two years. Higher the depreciation of rupee, higher RHL profit is- Because mainly export of food items which always consistently do well through out the year. Nowdays their selling and distribution cost is almost 15 times increased that is a good sign there aggressively marketing their products. In addition to their sound bottom line, Rajiah family is very good stock investors. During 2011 they generated around Rs-7 per share from stock investing. For that year their income was more than 13 along with property revaluation. Thing about in two years time if they again make same profit with bottom line boost it could be around 20. Are u afraid of buying this share if it comes 25 now which probably their one year income. Think about other fact which I already disclosed as becoming diversified holding. And another positive factor now they are making about 6 bn T/O ( came from 2.5 bn 18 months befr), in two years time it could be around 15 bn then it will become foreigners interest. Still I am collecting but I disclosed all possible factors to you. Hope you are not a big fish...Not need to rush to buy it will come bit down if this mkt continues. There is another big quantity from MBSL for selling probably they may need to come less than 28 to dispose but they r seeking around 32.

@ Jana 1
You have taken lot of time and effort. Thanks very much.
As you have hoped , I am not a "big fish". However this type of company ( family held and managed, mostly trading, in stock investing) will not fit into my line of thinking. Any way the information disclosed, and your way of thinking would be helpful to anyone to look at this company, closely.

Actually my concern in this discussion,was on a different matter. As you have implied there is a possibility that the company would be transferred to "Diversified Holding " sector. It' like a big upgrading.
To what extent , that factor will affect the company share price ?
I am wondering ..... whether people will chase the share after that happens , and whether that's a rational decision.

I am not sure why you keep away from family owned business. Few examples in cse Pestonjee family- Abans, Carson & buki-Selvanathan family, etc. are well manged companies.Only few worst from family owned but you can easily tag then from past records say Tess agro and East. Then why do u keep away from family owned? Just keep eye on good companies.

My concern about diversified is different. RHL is trading at low as that fall in investment trust. In cse investment trust means they invested their significant portion in cse and remaining as minority shareholders. whenever mkt is down its NAV price will slash. But for RHL case is different. They have controlling stake so they can report its subsidiaries' TO and portion of assets to their IS. The effect of mkt fluctuation is minimal. Still investors value this share as investment trust, so they value less but its instrict value is higher. When its sector changes from investment to diversified every1 will realise... Hope this will help uu...

Actually, Jana1 has bought up a very interesting point !

Firstly i cannot understand how Vone, FLCH & BIL are considered Diversified Holding Companies when RHL is considered an Investment Trust ?

Secondly, how come Investment Trusts trade at a significant discount to their Intrinsic (asset) values whether it is a bull or bear market, whilst it is accepted that Diversified Holdings trade at sometimes many multiples of their Asset values and are evaluated more on their earnings (p/e).

Thirdly, due to Accounting convention - over 20 % holding (termed associate company - can equity account), - over 50 % holding (termed subsidiary - can consolidate ), earnings "appear" larger than Investment Trusts who cannot do so if they have less than 20 % stake in an investee company.
Now, if we consider "look through" earnings concept that Buffet always talks about (especially for Berkshire Hathaway investments less than 20 %), some of the Investment Trusts earnings will surprise you and p/e's will look attractive too (not only discounted assets).
btw, "Look Through Earnings" means that for eg - say you own 5 % of Company A. you get to account for 5 % of Company A Earnings and Net Assets.

I find it ironic that CIT (an Investment Trust) NAV over 240 is trading at 100, and owns approx 18 % of CFLB (which is an Diversified Holding) and cannot equity account for CFLB earnings. but it would be ok for CFLB to trade at a premium to its asset value since its a Diversified Holding. Same with GUAR (NAV around 250, trading at 160) with 80 % of portfolio consisting of BUKI, JKH & COMM bank, and BUKI & JKH which are Diversified Holdings trading over their book values !

Another small point: RHL was awarded one of the best (Under 1 billion or some thing...) companies by.. (I cannot remember)... Pls verify this, and comment on its significance.

Opportunities come disguised as ironies/anomalies sometimes.
I believe that, over time, the valuation gap between Diversified Holdings and Investment Trusts will narrow.
To profit from such opportunities, one necessarily needs to have a long term perspective.

Another anomaly, another opportunity?
In one country that is growing at 3%, the market is hitting new highs and trading at a P/E of 15.5.
In another country that is growing at 6.25%, the market trades at a P/E of 11.4.

@Alchemist
Good , that you also have intervened here.
Wish to make few comments on issues you have raised.

Firstly i cannot understand how Vone, FLCH & BIL are considered Diversified Holding Companies when RHL is considered an Investment Trust ?
No idea about the basis of CSE sector classification. I also find this classification is absurd, because it is observed that companies within a particular Sector is vastly different in their scope, nature of business, size, market penetration etc. Forget about BFI or Diversified Sectors (where this mismatch is clearly visible), even seemingly uniform Manufacturing sector, companies producing cables, cement, tiles, tyres etc, are dumped together. These different industries have different cost structures, margins, capital investment , ROI, etc. Main reason for CSE , may be there are one or two companies in this different industries. But the question arises when someone compare a company performance /indicators with the sector performance /indicators. I find this, utterly misleading .
Even in this thread, there is an opinion to judge a company (undervalued /overvalued ) comparing to Sector indicators. In most Broker Research Reports this comparison of Company vs Sector, is the primary basis for buy/sell recommendation. Even reputed Research firms make comments on this comparison, probably going by their experience in Markets in developed countries, forgetting about the fundamental differences in companies within a particular sector of CSE.

Secondly, how come Investment Trusts trade at a significant discount to their Intrinsic (asset) values whether it is a bull or bear market, whilst it is accepted that Diversified Holdings trade at sometimes many multiples of their Asset values and are evaluated more on their earnings (p/e).
As I understand , this indicates the limitations of mathematical computations/ forecasting techniques like, Intrinsic value, NAV, P/E multiplies in judging market prices. There is no THEORY to say these are the ultimate indicators to determine / forecast market prices and there are STRONG opinions to contrary.

Sorry, not knowledgeable in Accounting aspects or familiar with company financials , to comment on third and fourth issues.

There is a very good reason why investment trusts trade at discounts. It is not uncommon and also occurs in the UK. Just google investment trust trading at discounts and see the number of hits that come up.

The primary reason is that a lot of the investment trusts are not managed to optimise shareholder returns. Closed investment trusts have to capitalise their gains and return it via dividends and buybacks.

What is the future prospect of an investment trust? It is just the ability to get capital gains - if those gains are not capitalised and returned what's the point. You would just be going on a roller coaster ride.

-------------------------------------------

Investment holding firms are a different story to investment trusts. Investment holding firms have the ability to dispose or purchase business units - controlling stakes have controlling premiums. The holding firms don't have the debt levels that the individual business units.

An investment trust is like a box containing shares; the trust manager can buy or sell these shares, with the long term objective of maximizing profit. To my simple mind, the value of the box is equal to the value of the shares.

A holding company is like a box containing business units. The Board of Directors can invest in or divest these business units, with the long term objective of maximizing profit. Same difference: The value of this box is equal to the value of the business units.

PS:
1. Business units (and their shares) are valued based on their future prospects; DCF is my favorite valuation tool.
2. I could never fully appreciate the concept of controlling premiums.
3. Historically most investment trusts have traded at a discount. But I don't understand why you would pay less for the box than you would for its contents.
