GHLSYS: Earnings at a New High

Result Update

For QE31/3/2018, GHLSYS's net profit rose 19% q-o-q or 10% y-o-y to RM5.9 million while revenue dropped 6% q-o-q or 12% y-o-y to RM60 million. Despite a -12% -o-y decline in group revenue to RM59.8 million vs RM68.0 million in 1Q2017, the net profit after tax rose due to better product mix as well as better performance from solutions services and TPA divisions whereas shared services were flat. Net margins also improved to 9.8% (1Q17 – 7.8%) due to higher solutions software sales as well as higher TPA transaction fees earned.

Presbhd: Earnings recovered

Result Update

In QE31/12/2017, Presbhd's profit before tax rose 117% q-o-q or 9-fold y-o-y to RM18 million while revenue rose 48% q-o-q or 191% y-o-y to RM72 million. Revenue rose q-o-q due to higher contribution Software & Services and Concession segments. The Group recorded higher PBT mainly contributed by contribution from Software & Services and Concession segments. The Group's NP dropped q-o-q due to higher tax expenses of RM10.1 million which in turn was due to under-provision of taxation of RM7.78 million and deferred tax charge of RM2.29 million.


 Table: Presbhd's 8 quarters' P&L


 Graph: Presbhd's 21 quarters' P&L

Latest Financial Position

Presbhd: More Than A Sharp Rebound Is Needed

Result Update

In QE30/9/2017, Presbhd's net profit dropped 21% q-o-q but rose more than 5-fold to RM4.6 million while revenue dropped 12% q-o-q but rose nearly 2-fold to RM48 million. Revenue was RM6.7 million or 12% lower than the preceding quarter due to lower contribution Software & Services. PBT rose RM1.2 million or 17% higher than the preceding quarter mainly due to contribution from Concession segment.


 Table: Presbhd's 8 quarters' P&L


 Graph: Presbhd's 20 quarters' P&L

Latest Financial Position

As at 30/9/2017, Presbhd's financial position is deemed satisfactory with current ratio at 3.8x and gearing ratio at 0.4x.

Valuation 

Presbhd (closed at RM1.35 last Friday) is now trading at a PER of 44x (based on last 4 quarters EPS of 3.1 sen). The fair value of this stock is given by DCF absolute valuation method that takes into account the new SKIN contract that it has secured. In an earlier post, I have noted that Presbhd was valued by AMInvestment and Public Investment Bank at around RM3.00. Thus Presbhd is deemed fairly attractive at the current price of RM1.35.

Technical Outlook

Presbhd has a negative technical outlook. Despite the sharp rebound on Friday, it is still too early to say that the worst is over for the stock. Its immediate support is at RM1.30 and its immediate resistance is at RM1.50. We will have to wait and see how far this rebound can go.

Presbhd: SKINned in the Sell-down

Background

One of the many stocks that have dropped sharply in the current sell-down is Presbhd. You may recall, Presbhd - thru its 70%-owned subsidiary, Prestariang Services Sdn Bhd ('PServices') - has secured the contract to upgrade our immigration system in July this year. The cost of developing the system, known as SKIN, is about RM1 billion and the work will take about 3 years. Upon completion, PServices is entitled to collect RM294.7 million a year for the next 12 years.

At this moment, there is no news whether PServices has achieved the financial close for SKIN. In an October report, AmInvestment Bank has gathered that "the group is in discussion with several financial investors, and is in the midst of securing the best offer(s)". AmInvestment Bank is prepared to raise the fair value for Presbhd from RM2.08 to cica RM3.00 once the financial close for SKIN is attained. In September, Public Investment Bank has assigned a 12-month target for Presbhd of RM2.87.

We should not be too surprised by the sell-down for Presbhd as there were signs earlier that one or more of the substantial shareholders had been selling (as pointed out in my earlier report). Having said that, I am quite perplexed as to why the selling is so aggressive at this low price level. Chartwise, Presbhd is now struggling to hold at its long-term uptrend line support of RM1.20-1.25. If this support failed, it can easily drop to the psychological RM1.00 mark.


Chart: Presbhd's weekly chart as at Nov 21, 2017 (Source: Malaysiastock.biz)

Recent Financial Performance

As you can see, Presbhd' financial performance is fairly decent.


 Table: Presbhd's 8 quarters' P&L


 Graph: Presbhd's 19 quarters' P&L

Latest Financial Position

As at 30/6/2017, Presbhd's financial position is deemed satisfactory with current ratio at 3.7x and gearing ratio at 0.3x.

Conclusion

Based on satisfactory financial performance & position, and fairly attractive valuation, Presbhd is considered a good stock for long-term investment. The main concern is the weak technical outlook which may lead to further price weakness in the near term. In view of this, you should exercise careful discretion if you wish to add this stock to your portfolio.

Presbhd: Game Changer Can Wait

In August last year, I posted a trading BUY call for Presbhd. At that point of time, Presbhd has tendered for a contract to upgrade our immigration system. Last week, Presbhd has announced that its 70%-owned subsidiary, Prestariang Services Sdn Bhd has finally secured the contract (here). The cost of developing the system is about RM1 billion and the work will take about 3 years. After that, it's entitled to collect RM294.7 million per annum for the next 12 years.

Market reaction to this game-changer for Presbhd was a big disappointment. Instead of a sharp price rally, we have a price drop! This obviously shows that investors are lukewarm about any project that involves large sum of investment and long gestation period. Then again, one should not be too surprised by the price drop if you look at the occasional bouts of selling over the past 2 years. However, if you draw a line connecting the recent bottoms, the stock should have support at RM1.85-1.90. If Presbhd can rebound back and stay above its long-term uptrend line at RM2.00, the technical outlook would still be positive. (As at 2.45pm, Presbhd was trading at RM1.95.)

Based on the project secured, I believe Presbhd is a good stock to consider for long-term investment.

MYEG: Earnings Continues To Rise

Results Update

In QE31/12/2016, MYEG's net profit rose 18% q-o-q or 57% y-o-y to RM48 million while revenue rose 13% q-o-q or 40% y-o-y to RM89 million. The increase in Revenue and PAT is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue contribution from foreign worker rehiring program services as well as from motor vehicle trading related services. However, the increase in Revenue was offset by higher marketing expenses and personnel related expenses. [Note: Myeg's result for QE31/12/2016 was released Feb 27, 2017.]


Table: MYEG's last 8 quarters' P&L


Graph: MYEG's last 17 quarters' P&L

"New" Development

Last Friday, MyEG confirmed that the value of the five-year concession awarded by the Government to provide online renewal of temporary employment passes for foreign workers (from May 23, 2015 to May 22, 2020) is RM553.85mil (here). This concession is expected to contribute positively to the earnings and net assets per share for the financial years ending June 30, 2017 onwards until the expiry of the project. This concession was already made public in January (here).
 

Valuation

MYEG (closed at RM1.77 last Friday) is now trading at a trailing PER of 37x (based on last 4 quarters' EPS of 4.8 sen). Based on average earning CAGR of 70% over the past 2 years, PEG ratio is comfortably below 1- which means that MYEG valuation is deemed "attractive" for a growth stock.

Technical Outlook

MYEG has been in a steady uptrend after it broke above the resistance from the horizontal line at RM0.15 in 2013.


Chart 1: MYEG's monthly chart as at Mar 3, 2017 (Source: ShareInvestor)

Last week, MYEG broke above the line connecting the peaks for the past 15 months (AB) at RM1.73-1.75. With this upside breakout, MYEG may continue its prior uptrend.


Chart 2: MYEG's weekly chart as at Mar 3, 2017 (Source: ShareInvestor)
Conclusion

Based on good financial performance, attractive valuation (supported by rapid growth) and positive technical outlook, MYEG could be a good stock for long-term investment. Good entry level is at RM1.75.

GHLSYS: Earnings Growth Slowed

Result Update

For QE30/9/2016, GHLSYS's net profit rose 3-fold y-o-y to RM4.7 million on the back of a 16%-crease in revenue to RM60 million. Compared to the immediate preceding quarter last year, GHLSYS's net profit dropped dropped marginally by less than 0.2% on the back of a 3%-decline in revenue.  GHLSYS's revenue rose y-o-y primarily driven by increase in the Transaction Payment Acquisition, Shared Services and Solutions Services divisions of 14.1%, 27.6% and 82.3%. Net profit margins during this quarter improved due to improved operating margins; lower interest expenses; and a more normalized tax rate as compared to QE30/9/2015.

GHLSYS is now consolidating at the horizontal line of RM0.80. If it can break above the downtrend line, RR at RM0.90, it will continue with its prior uptrend. The main concern is that the support at RM0.80 may be violated, in which case it may drop to the next support at RM0.70.

Presbhd: Poised for Next Upleg

Presbhd is an information and communication technology (ICT) company. It provides software licensing distribution and management as well as ICT training and certification courses in Malaysia.

Presbhd is currently working on revamping the IT infrastructure of our 20 years  old National Immigration Control System. The total revamp is expected to be a concession project. Currently, it is working on another public private partnership (PPP) project – to provide IT infrastructure and technical support for two polytechnics. Total capex is more than RM200mil for these two polytechnics and the concession is over 15 years. For more, go here.
 
Technical Outlook

Presbhd looks poised for its next upleg. Over the past 2 years, Presbhd had two nice upswing; in early 2015 & late 2015. The pattern looks set to repeat itself. What we look for are in the weekly chart are:
1. Prices had surpassed the 10-week SMA line and poised to challenge the 20 & 30-week EMA line
2. MACD had crossed above the MACD signal line and poised to go above the zero line
Will the follow-thru actions happen?


Chart 1: Presbhd's weekly chart as at Aug 16, 2016_10.00am (Source: ShareInvestor.com)

Let's look at the daily chart. We can see the following:
1. Share prices are above the 10-day SMA line and 20 & 30-day EMA lines
2. MACD, which crossed above the MACD signal line earlier, has gone above the zero line
3. +DMI is above the -DMI and ADX is hooking up
All the above are flagging the likelihood of the start of an uptrend. ADX hooking up is a possible prelude to it going above the 20-mark, which indicates momentum for the uptrend.  


Chart 2: Presbhd's daily chart as at Aug 16, 2016_10.00am (Source: ShareInvestor.com)

If Presbhd's upleg can take off, we may see the repeat of the last two rallies where it put in a gain of RM1.00 after it broke above the 30-week EMA line. For the current set-up, that breakout trigger will be at RM2.30.

Conclusion

Based on technical consideration, Presbhd looks like a good stock for a trading BUY.

MYEG: Testing Strong Support

MYEG was fined RM2.272 million in June by the Malaysian Competition Commission for abusing its dominant position in the online foreign workers permit ('PLKS') renewals processing when its its wholly-owned subsidiary, My E.G. Commerce Sdn Bhd (MyEG Commerce) participates as an insurance agent in the PLKS applications. The participation of MyEG Commerce has caused competitors offering insurance coverage to be at a disadvantage. MYEG has been given 60 days to rectify the situation, failing which a higher daily fine will be levied against it.

From the chart below, we can see that MYEG peaked in early January at about RM2.30. After that, it has dropping in a downward channel, R-R, R1-R1). Today the share price touched the lower line, R1-R1 at RM1.72. This is also the accelerated uptrend line S1-S1 support as well as the horizontal line. Thus I believe the stock is likely to enjoy a technical rebound from here. We will have to wait for a while to see whether the low today the end of the current downtrend or merely a temporary bottom.

From the recent post, we can compute MYEG's trailing PER at 37x (based on current price of RM1.78 & EPS of 4.8 sen). MYEG's earning has a CAGR of 60%; giving it a PEG ratio of 0.6x. Thus, MYEG is deemed attractive as a growth stock as its PEG ratio is less than 1x.

Based on this valuation, MYEG could be a decent stock to consider for your investment at the current price of below RM1.80. You are advised to exercise careful discretion if you choose to trade this stock.

Chart 1: GHLSYS's last 14 years P&L

Recent Financial Performance

When we zoomed into the quarterly results, we can see that the big jump in its top-line and bottom-line happened in QE30/6/2014. That's when the group completed its acquisition of e-pay Asia. (Note: The acquisition of e-pay Asia, which was announced in October 2013, triggered an upside breakout of a triangle and the rally that ensued sent the share price to RM1.25-1.30 in 2015).
