Choo Bee Metal Industries Bhd.

This is the new member in my value-stock portfolio

I bought Choobee at price of RM1.53 per share, which is equal to 68% of its net-working-capital (according to its Jun-2009 reports).

Other criteria of ChooBee:

  • Low debt position. (according to its Jun-09 report, debt-equity ratio only 10%+)
  • Continuous dividend payment for more than 10 years. (though net DY only around 3%)
  • Low PE ratio (about 5.5 based on three years average EPS).

The negative part is, its has a high inventories and receivables level.

However, after comparing its figure in the past ten years, a found that Choobee's inventories and receivables are maintained at a stable level as compared to its revenue. And the figures from others steel companies also show that high inventories level is quite common in this industry.

Thus I think it's quite safe to invest in ChooBee.

Choo Bee is a good profit making company, BUT it's not a good stock to invest in for retail/minority investor.

The Management has neglected the minority investor all the years for not giving out a good dividend despite making good profits.

If u compare it to CSC, CSC is in the same industries, & it has rewarding the minority shareholder by giving out good dividend in last few years.
