May 2017 Transaction Update

It has been more than one month since i last updated my blog. I have been quite busy recently: both going through some of reports released early of this month and also with my work.


What i have Bought?


I have browsed through total of 339 reports of different companies for this Quarter. As usual, i eliminated all Blue chips & S chips, property, finance, oil & gas, and commodities counters.

Out of the 339 companies, i selected Frencken which met my buying criteria and i quickly bought 100k shares @39cts per share in the morning of 12th May 2017 after they released their Q1 report the night before. I also had went through about 8 quarters of their reports & Annual Reports.

Below are the preliminary thing i am looking at Frencken before going to their subsequents 8 quarters of report & their Annual Reports:

(1) The company reported an increase of 17.9% revenue YtoY in the same quarter.
(2) Gross profit margin increases to 17.2% from 15.2% YtoY in the same quarter.
(3) PBT (Net profit before tax) increases to 8.4mil from 4.4mil YtoY in the same quarter.

(Revenue increases by 17.9% but net profit before tax increases by 91%),
(4) Disposal of PESB (one of the business unit from IMS division) and boosted their cash level to 60mil & 33.2mil after deducting bank overdraft.

Will elaborate more when i have time to do so.


What i have Sold?


I decided to cash out about 18 - 20% of my equity in this quarter, so in the case the market shocks and i will not easily be shocked too.

I sold all my holding of Global Invacom @16.3cts/share & Taisin Electric @43.5cts/share.


What am i holding now?
