Well I didn't attend the AGM today, but from the looks of things GRP can probably afford to pay dividends at least in the medium-term. As to whether the business will suffer in future, it's hard to tell but then again when you look at the 10-year history the revenues have been very stable. Free Cash Flow is also very high. If you have enough patience and faith, we might see a special dividend some time down the road..... | ||

Hi Guys, did anyone attended the agm today? Please share any impt updates? The biz seems to go down a little, but cash balance still increase if im not wrong. Dividend is $20 per yr. est. But still no one buying this burger? even at $0.25 the dividend yields at around 8%. Hardly can find any stocks giving this amt of div in current market. Price only $0.215 today. Are they going to give more cash distribution or stock split maybe. Its vol of trading is really low also. Haiz... |

i took alook at this counter and have to say alot of plus points - last yield was high :9%. I think it depends on business, we might be looking at a terminal 5-7% yield -positive free cashflow since 2000. this is an astounding record i feel -margins getting stronger, but its hard to say. i got a feeling they won't always do well -EV/EBITDA of nearly 4.8 times. that means invest 5 years at current cashflow and you can get back your capital in 5 years. figures are taken from my spreadsheet viewable here >> |

Am vested in this. Not going for growth but for the dividend. This counter is comparable to SingPost, VICOM. Price don't move some much during turmoil market Previous did some analysis and here is my interpretation Very good ROIC & Cash growth for the past 1, 3 & 5 years. ROIC and Cash growth > 10% No debt for the past 3 years and this company has very good free cash flow for the past 5 years Profit Margin has been consistent for the past 5 years. But unfortunately the Sales growth is rather stagnant. Consistent but little growth This counter has almost no analyst coverage which I am not sure is it a good thing. Buying interest is very low and no institutional players to move the price higher :( |

Well it has sustained profitability since FY 2002 (with the exception of FY 2004 where there was a write-off). I would say the Company is niche, and there is steady demand for their products, though of course there is competition as well. They have a track record and reputation and have been doing this business for donkey years, but have only recently ungeared their Balance Sheet. One can see that the Company has been consistently generating Positive FCF, and this simply adds to the cash hoard. It's not a growth company per se, more of a sleepy, give good yield type. :o) I would advise investors to thoroughly analyze this company before purchasing it. I am just giving a very brief summary, that's all. |

SELL INTO STRENGTH HAHA.....SHORT GRP LOL But honestly, you uncovered a gem Musicwhiz. Lets hope it can continue to sustain its profitability in the long run. Is its industry highly defensive or niche ? Is there any listed peers to compare with ?

Regarding your question on whether they might be a special dividend for FY 2010, all I can say is there is a possibility, as they have cash per share worth 10+ cents. However, much depends on their business and whether Hoses and Marine can hold out in 2H 2010, as they did mention conditions were "challenging". I am currently preparing an analysis of GRP, and it will be posted on my blog probably by CNY. Watch out for it. Comments are welcome! Thanks! :D |

Dear all, GRP has just released their 1H FY 2010 results. A summary as follows:- Revenues were down 5.4% due to weakened economy and lower orders for uPVC. Gross margins were also down from 38.9% to 35.9%. But net profit was up 11% to S$2.3 million due to better admin expense control. For Balance Sheet, cash went up from S$13.6 million as at June 30, 2009 to S$14.2 million as at Dec 31, 2009. Current ratio rose from 4.77 to 5.87, as payables and current liabilities decreased. Trade receivables remained relatively flat. Inventories dipped a little (S$0.7 million) probably as a result of lower sales (the company is stocking up less). NTA is about 17.78 cents per share. Cash per share stands at 10.21 cents. There was net operating cash inflows of S$2.2 million, with capex of S$205K, meaning FCF of about S$2 million. An interim dividend of 1c per share was declared. At last done price of 22.5c, and assuming another 1c final dividend, yield is 8.89%. :) |

Yes, next payout will be interim dividend some time in March 2010. I will be expecting the usual 1c per share dividend, and will also assess the business to see how it is doing. So far no M&A plans being communicated by Management. Let's see what they do with the cash. In the midst of preparing Part 2 now. Stay tuned. |
