VALUE BUY ICAPITAL.BIZ (ICAP)

Did you make great profit from my previous tips? Please check out my previous recommendation to see them for yourself.Track record doesn't lie.
ICAP is another stock for you to make superior profit. What is ICAP doing actually?
iCapital.biz Bhd is a closed-ended equity mutual fund launched and managed by Capital Dynamics Asset Management Sdn Bhd. It invests in the public equity markets of Malaysia. The fund invests in stocks of companies operating across financial sectors. It invests in value stocks of companies. The fund benchmarks the performance of its portfolio against the KLSE Composite index.
The attraction in ICAP lies in its portfolio,which consists of the following companies:
  • Integrax
    Parkson Holdings
    Astro
    Padini Holdings
    PIE
    Boustead
    Poh Kong Holdings
    Suria Capital
    Tong Herr Resources
    Petronas Dagangan
    F&N Holdings
    Telekom
    Kuala Lumpur Kepong
    Swee Joo
    Mieco Chipboard
    Lion Diversified
    Hai-O Enterprise
There are three potential upsides for ICAP:
a) Most of these companies have shot up in the recent recovery in the stock market. Most importantly, these companies are cash rich with little debt. These companies will definitely have plenty of room to grow by capitalising on distressed assets and ride on the economic recovery. ICAP is a great proxy to these companies
b) Current ICAP's NAV is RM 1.91 while its stock price is trading at a discount. It closed at RM1.79 on Friday. While buying ICAP at discount will provide some safety cushion, investors should also focus on its potential appreciation. ICAP still have about RM 30 mil cash on hand (based on its latest quarterly result) which placed it at a great position to buy on the dip.
c) ICAP is only allowed to invest in KLSE currently. If it is allowed to invest overseas,it will boost ICAP's potential and more investors will be more attracted to it since it provide a cheap proxy to value companies all around the world.
This is the right time to capitalise on ICAP

It also involves in operating departmental and specialty stores, and property investment activities. The company is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

PMCORP is in the process of restructuring.Recently,it posted a positive net income compared to losses in the last few year.the attraction of PMCORP comes from its assets. Its book value is at around RM 0.45/share.This gives a safety margin of over 50% at current price of RM 0.135.

PMCORP has come a long way to 'cut some of its rottenning poisoned limbs'. It has let go subsidiaries which are loss making and focus on its profit making businesses such as retail and manufacturing. So,PMCORP does not need to consolidate any losses and will be able to report good profit.

A few good points on PMCORP:

a) The cash level is at RM 127 mil while total liabilities is at RM 54 mil.This means by paying off its liabilities,investors will own some of the assets (properties,businesses,subsiadiaries and fixed assets) at half the value plus a clean balance sheet.

b) Expected to post cumulative earning per share of RM 0.013. At current price of RM 0.135, its forward P/E is 10x

c) It's a closely held company

Since it is in black now,PMCORP should be trading at around its Net Asset per share. PMCORP is a classic story of a frog turning into a prince.
