Palace is back NCB out of TOP 10 stocks

March 26, 2018 by

 

New contents at Palace Amusement .

Palace Amusement is back in among the top stocks, after falling out at the end of the previous week, with the stock now offered for sale at $1,120, below the last sale price of $1,300.
There is still no new entrants to the junior market TOP 10, for the second week in a row, as there has been only moderate price changes in that market.
A new element in the market this past week, is the payment to some former Cable & Wireless shareholders who collected nearly $2 billion in cash. Most of these funds are likely to go back into the market that is short on supplies.
The price of NCB Financial rose by the end of the week and moved out of the main market top stock list. Caribbean Cement that has languished just above the $30 level for months has broken into the $40 range and moved down to the second half of the list. The sharp price change follows an announcement that the company signed an agreement to buyback leased assets during this year. The buyback is set to save around $2 billion per annum before tax.
Palace Amusement revenues and profit, are getting a big lift from the strong showing of the Black Panther movie being shown currently. The stock’s attractiveness is not based solely on that development. Data shows the company’s revenues have been rising well since 2014 when it hit $833 million, rising to $916 million in 2015, while there was a slight dip in 2016 to $909 million, it rose 9 percent in 2017, to $990 million. Revenues for the half year to December last year grew 11 percent to $493 million and profit rising 138 percent, continuing the normal annual growth. Revenues will hit the billion mark for the first time in the company’s history, for the current fiscal year and remain over that level going forward. The performance of the economy is critical to the future fortunes and to a lesser degree, the quality of films. Data shows that with tight economy, patronage in Kingston suffered badly with the fall in the economy from in 2008 onwards. At the same time strong growth said to be around 7 percent per annum in the Montego Bay economy, shows up in strong revenues gains there compared to Kingston. With the overall economy recovering, Palace is benefitting.
PanJam Investment for 2017, reported a 29 percent rise in profit to $4.13 billion and in earnings per share of $3.93 from continuing operations. The group is expected to continue to enjoy increased earnings in 2018 and the focus on expansion of new projects will be beneficial to them going forward.
At the close of Friday, the average PE ratio for Junior Market Top stocks ended at 6.3 compared to an average PE for the overall main market is 10 based on 2018 estimated earnings. The main market PE is 6.8 for the top stocks compared to a market average of 12.
IC Insider.com’s TOP 10 stocks now trade at an average discount of 37 percent to the average for the Junior Market Top stocks but it’s a third of what the average PE for the year is likely to be, 20 times earnings and main market stocks traded at a discount of 44 percent to the market.

Entities associated with IC Insider.com owns shares in Palace Amusement Company and Caribbean Cement.

CWC CALA gets 1.6B C&W Jamaica shares

March 16, 2018 by

parent company of C&W Jamaica now owns over 91% of the shares.

CWC CALA Holdings now controls 91.73 percent of the ordinary stock units of Cable & Wireless Jamaica following an offer made on December 28, last year, to purchase 3,027,138,546 ordinary stock units owned by minority shareholders of J$1.45 per stock unit.
Acceptance was received from 3,184 shareholders who tendered 1,639,751,868 ordinary stock units but 3,180,025 units were deemed invalid reducing the amounted accepted to 1,636,571,843 units representing approximately 54.17 percent of the ordinary stock units held by the minority shareholders and approximately 9.7 percent of all the ordinary stock units issued.
With the parent company now holding over 90 percent no mention was made about compulsory acquisition of the rest but IC Insider.com has been informed in January that it is the intension of the parent company to have the company delisted.
Cable and Wireless reported operating profit of $5.134 billion dollars before exceptional item of $112 million and finance charge of $5.2 billion and a small of loss of $138 million. Profit for the December quarter before taxation charge was $600 million and $700 million excluding the exceptional item.
Most importantly, based on the method on which the bulk of interest rates are computed, the cost for 2018 assuming no major increase in the amount of borrowing, then the rate which averaged over just over 8 percent in 2017 should fall to around 6 percent in 2018 and cut around $1.3 billion from the interest bill thus ensuring that this year will be profitable. The actual formula is based on 2.79 percent above the weighted average six months Treasury bill auctioned immediately prior to May 11 and November 11. According to the 2017 audited accounts, the rate applied was 7.68 percent at the end of last year versus 8.62 percent that was applicable up to May last year. With the six months Treasury bill rate just above 3 percent currently, assuming no shift in the policy then savings will be in excess of 2 percentage points for 2018.
Investors in the company were never provided with the information on the full 2017 year’s results or given any indication about what could be expected for 2018 and beyond. The rules of the capital market does not really protect the investing public and this is not a satisfactory manner in operating a stock market.

$2,800 per share for Palace Amusement!

March 10, 2018 by

Palace Amusement seems set to be a big surprise as the stock could exceed $2,000 this year with enormous success that Black Panther is forging.
At the close on Friday the bid had moved up to $730 and should be heading higher based on the good fortune being enjoyed with the Black Panther movie. IC Insider.com projects big rise in revenues for the current quarter a sizable jump in profit as well to levels never before seen by this company. Profit for the year to June should be well into the $100 per share range as the company increase showings of the extremely popular movie but is still booked out into the future. Cable & Wireless should be the number one choice for main market TOP 10 stocks based on a nearly $2 billion reduction in interest cost this year resulting from the fall in local interest rates and increasing revenues. But uncertainty lies about continued listing on the Jamaica Stock Exchange in a year when the company is likely to see significant profit for the first time in nearly a decade.
The number one remains with Barita Investments on the basis that management will start to seriously extract the benefits of the assets that it manages. Despite the fall in profits in the December quarter for Berger Paints, from slightly lower  revenues compared to 2016, the stock is still expected to benefit from improving demand for paints as economic improvements take deeper root.
Caribbean Cement continues to struggle to break out of the $35 region but investors may have to wait until around mid-April just ahead of the first quarter results to witness a break out. Grace Kennedy results when the prior year’s one off gain from sale of investment is factored out showed continued progress in increasing profit. The stock has become scarce and seems headed for the over $50 range.
The PE ratio of the TOP 10 is 6.6 times 2018 earnings compared to 12 currently for the main market and an expected 20 by March 2019, this means these stocks have lots of room to grow.
