Reason the stock price drop

The main reason the AJIYA had start dropping today is because of yesterday and today announcement of the private placement. The private placement at the peak of the price will definitely benefit the company because they can have more share premium.

The private placing to an unknown investor is a huge uncertainty. Investors that bought the share at below RM 3.00 might start to take profit from it. This unknown investor will become one of the major shareholders of the company and it might influence the operation of the company in the future.
With the current economy and might be worst next year, an expansion plan shall be on hold but AJIYA is announcing for private placement for expansion.

PROS:

  • Private placement at the peak will benefit the company

CONS:

  • Private placement to an unknown investor.
  • The unknown investor will become the major shareholder.
  • The uncertainty of the world economy is not the best time for expansion.

AJIYA consists of two main business divisions as follows:
  1. Metals Products Operation
  2. Safety Glass Operation

1) Metals Products Operation

AJIYA starts with this operation since 1990 through Asia Roofing Industries Sdn Bhd (ARI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AJIYA berhad. ARI manufactures of metal roofing system, metal frame products, structural products, light weight channel products, metal ceiling and sun shade product in Malaysia.

  •     With the operation in Johor, AJIYA might able to cater the building material industries in Singapore since they have an agent office in Woodlands, Singapore.
  •     Having factory for both metal production and safety glass operation in Thailand, these can helps to hedged the weakening of ringgit.

CONS:

  •    In 2014 AJIYA has increase its capacity for metal products operation and safety glass operation in Johor this year there is a slow down in the construction industry in Malaysia especially in the Johor region. The plant might not able to operate at its full capacity.

Yeoman Capital Management Pte Ltd had almost 18 years’ experience in investing and had an absolute cumulative return of 853.39%.

Financial Statement

From the annual report 2014, AJIYA had 45% of account receivable which had been pass due and had impaired around 12.29% of the account receivable which had pass due.

By looking at the quarter report end 31 May 2015 AJIAYA cash and bank balance is capable to paid all the short term borrowing and debt. Despite implementation of GST, AJIYA still able to had higher turnover compared to preceding year corresponding quarter, since these quarter included March 2015 which is the month before GST we might need to wait for the next quarter to see the actual effect of GST to AJIYA.

CONS:
