QL Resources (Kenanga Research)

QL Resources Bhd - 9M19 Broadly Within Expectations


9M19 PATAMI of RM173.5m (+11%) and absence of dividends are within expectations. Better marine segment’s yield and expanding base of the integrated livestock segment as well as the eventual turn-around of the group’s convenience store chain could translate well to the group’s long-term profitability. We maintain our UP rating and TP of RM5.70.

9M19 broadly within. 9M19 PATAMI of RM173.5m is deemed broadly within our/consensus estimates, making up 81%/76% of respective fullyear expectations. No dividend announced, as expected. The group typically pays a single interim dividend annually; expected to be 4.5 sen for FY19.

YoY, 9M19 revenue of RM2.72b (+10%) was thanks to higher catch rates from the marine products manufacturing (MPM) segment and growth in output and sales from integrated livestock farming (ILF). Palm oil activities (POA) continued to be weaker from softer CPO prices and unsold inventories. Regardless, PBT grew slightly by 9% thanks to stronger results from the two divisions mentioned above. 9M19 PATAMI registered at RM173.5m (+11%) after incurring lower effective taxes of 14.5% (0.8ppt).

QoQ, 3Q19 revenue of RM978.9m grew by 6% on the back stronger sales from both MPM and ILF. PBT soared by 39% due to better margins from MPM and POA due to better conditions leading to higher catch rates and FFB yields, respectively. ILF, however, continued to churn stable margins. Due to higher effective taxes during the quarter (19%, +10.8ppt), 3Q19 PATAMI closed at RM69.1m (+14%).

On better steps. The continued growth in the MPM segment presents a welcomed change as it was previously bogged down by highly unfavourable weather conditions, which lowered catch rates. Further gains could come from its new surimi plant and fleet expansion. The POA segment may trail poorly if weak CPO prices persist. Still, contribution from this segment could remain less meaningful to the group as opposed to its other businesses (i.e. <10 120="" achieves="" against="" and="" base="" bases="" br="" buffer="" by="" chain="" commodity="" convenience="" could="" demonstrated="" detrimental="" expected="" familymart="" feed="" fluctuations="" from="" further="" fy20="" generate="" group="" growth="" had="" hand="" has="" ilf="" in="" indonesia.="" is="" it="" its="" local="" locations.="" market.="" milling="" of="" on="" optimal="" other="" pbt="" players="" potential="" production="" profits="" progressively="" proven="" provide="" s="" some="" store="" strong="" the="" to="" vietnam="" when="" which="">Post results, we leave our FY19E/FY20E assumptions unchanged.

Maintain UNDERPERFORM and TP of RM5.70. Our valuation is based on an unchanged 40.0x FY20E PER (within the stock’s +1.5SD over its 3- year mean PER). We believe the rich valuation is reflective of a higher investor appetite, attributed to the stock’s defensive quality in the consumer staples space. However, we also believe that current trading valuation could be excessive due to its: (i) low dividend prospects at c.1% (vs. best peer’s yield of 4%), and (ii) slower earnings growth expectations c.6% (vs. peers’ average of +10%).

Risks to our call include: (i) significant improvement to MPM sales, (ii) significant uptick in palm oil prices and sales volume, (iii) better-than expected demand of poultry products abroad.

Investor's Checklist: Consumer Services

Most consumer services concepts fail in the long run, so any investment in a company in the speculative or aggressive growth stage of the business life cycle needs to be monitored more closely than the average stock investment.

Beware of stocks that have already priced in lofty growth expectations.  You can make money if you get in early enough, but you can also lose your shirt on the stock's rapid downslide.

The sector is rife with low switching costs.  Companies that establish store loyalty or store dependence are very attractive.  Tiffany's is a good example; it faces limited competition in the retail jewelery market.

Make sure to compare inventory and payables turns to determine which retailers are superior operators.  Companies that know what their customers want and how to exploit their negotiating power are more likely to make solid bets in the sector.

Keep an eye on those off-balance sheet obligations.   Many retailers have little or no debt on the books, but their overall financial health might not be that good.

Look for a buying opportunity when a solid company releases poor monthly or quarterly sales numbers.  Many investors overreact to one month's worth of bad same-store sales results, and the reason might just be bad weather or an overly difficult comparison to the prior-year period.  Focus on the fundamentals of the business and not the emotion of the stock.

Companies also tend to move in tandem when news comes out about the economy.  Look for a chance to pick up shares of a great retailer when the entire sector falls - keep that watch list handy.

Investor's Checklist: Consumer Goods


Find companies that enjoy the cost advantages of manufacturing on a larger scale than most other competitors.  One related issue is whether the firm holds dominant market share in its categories.

Look for the firms that consistently launch successful new products - all the better if the firm is first to market with these innovations.

Check to see if the company is supporting its brand with consistent advertising.  If the firm constantly promotes its products with sale prices, it's depleting brand equity and just milking the brand for shorter-term gain.

Examine how well the firm is handling operating costs.  Occasional restructuring can help squeeze out efficiency gains and lower costs, but if the firm is regularly incurring restructuring costs and relying solely on this cost-cutting tactic to boost its business, tread carefully.

Because these mature firms generate so much free cash flow, it's important to make sure management is using it wisely.  How much of the cash is turned over to shareholders in the form of dividends or share repurchase agreements?

Keep in mind that investors may bid up a consumer goods stock during economic downturns, making the shares pricey relative to its fair value.  Look for buying opportunities when shares trade with a 20 percent to 30 percent margin of safety.
