Something is brewing
Another blowout first half with massive profit increase. Interim dividend increased from 0.75 cents to 1.25 cents. Even if final dividend is held constant (it should definitely increase), yield is 9.5%. Current P/E is only 4x for a company experiencing massive growth. As always, DYODD but to me, this is an amazing buying opportunity.
Ahh yes, so your analyst estimate is in fact from 7 years ago. Not sure what to say about that. On dividends, already mentioned below.

Care to share the link? The only report I can find is dated in 2016 so hopefully you were referring to something else.
2023 yield (so far) is only 1.5 cents. The company pays dividend twice a year.

Source: Philips Securities.
2023 Yield = 0.015/0.295 = 5.08%.
Thanks for concern, I never " shorted" in my entire life.

Source for the target price? Also, interesting that you call an almost 8% yield currently "average", that too with such a low payout ratio. Hoping for your sake that you didn't short!

The listed Target-Price is S$0.25.   Currently, it is already trading at S$0.295.
Also this is penny-stock and one cannot invest in every one of them and must selectively select some due to cashflow constraits.   Unfortunately this is one company that I do not buy their products (now) and hence I by-pass it partially also due to average dividends (payout ratio roughly 20%).

Seems to be running!

This is definitely a big undervalued counter. Did some digging and agree with other comments below. Based on half-year EPS of 4.4 cents, currently trading at an annualized p/e of only 3x. Tiles likely to be in demand as construction is ramped up, providing good tailwind.
Recently paid 1.5 cents final dividend, if same is paid for interim, yield is 10%. And this is conservative because payout ratio, even if 3 cents dividend, is only about 30%.
Market seems to be taking notice but IMO, still a lot of room to run. Even if trading at 8x multiple, can cross 70 cents. DYODD.
Eventually market will take notice. Same thing was for excelpoint, the run up was fast and furious once the market took notice. Just a matter of time before this one runs up.

Gem of a counter that is super undervalued. Based on half-year EPS of 4.4 cents, currently trading at an annualized p/e of only 3x. Tiles likely to be in demand as construction is ramped up, providing good tailwind. Latest dividend of 1.5 cents brings full year dividend yield to 8.3%, which is likely to increase further. After my Excelpoint recommendation previously, I think this may be the next one to huat big time. Like always, DYODD
Gained 12.5%. Closed at 0.27.
Hafary H2 profit increases 187.1% to S$19.8 million
 
TILE specialist Hafary Holdings : 5VS +2.27% posted a profit net of tax of S$19.8 million for the second half of the financial year ended Dec 31, 2022, up 187.1 per year on year from S$6.9 million.
 
Revenue climbed up by 44.6 per cent to S$97.6 million, from S$67.5 million a year earlier.
 
In a business update on Friday (Feb 17), the mainboard-listed company noted that this was fuelled by revenue growth in both its general and project segments. 
 
Revenue in its general segment &ndash where customers include homeowners, architecture, interior design and renovation firms &ndash had risen by 40.3 per cent to S$62.6 million in H2, supported by the &ldquo active resale market&rdquo and &ldquo robust demand from homebuyers&rdquo .
 
In its project segment &ndash where customers include architecture firms, property developers and construction companies &ndash revenue also soared by 52.9 per cent to S$35 million, as construction activity resumed post-pandemic. 
 
For the full-year FY2022, profit net of tax increased 148.8 per cent year on year to S$30.6 million, while revenue rose 34 per cent year on year to S$168.9 million. This translated to an earnings per share increase to S$0.0682 for FY2022, from the previous year&rsquo s S$0.0269. 
 
Looking ahead, Hafary expects demand for residential and industrial building construction to remain at levels comparable to last year&rsquo s, underpinned by the development of new condominiums and high-specification industrial buildings. 
 
Still, the company noted that potential risks include growing inflationary pressures and rising interest rates that might crimp homebuyers&rsquo loan capacities. 
 
&ldquo The unfulfilled pent-up consumption demand may likely go towards overseas travel, rather than domestic spending,&rdquo it added. &ldquo Nevertheless, (we remain) committed to weathering the challenging business environment as market risks remain elevated and will also closely monitor its supply chain activities.&rdquo

Hafary to add manufacturing capabilities to portfolio via JV
Mainboard-listed Hafary Holdings, which supplies premium tiles, as well as other fittings, has expanded its operations to include manufacturing capabilities on Dec 15.
 
The expansion was made through the incorporation of a new joint venture company (JVCo), International Ceramics Manufacturing Hub Sdn Bhd with Guangdong ITA Element Building Materials Co. Limited (ITA) and CNA Pte Ltd, an established premium tile manufacturer.
 
According to a release by Hafary, the new JV will enable the group to &ldquo move upstream&rdquo and overcome supply constraints. It will also leverage on its majority shareholder, Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad&rsquo s MML brand, as well as Hap Seng&rsquo s distribution networks to grow sales in Malaysia and the regional export market.
 
Through the JV, the group will lease two manufacturing plants in Johor, Malaysia, from Hap Seng Group.
 
CNA will also bring its years of experience (over 13 years operating manufacturing plants in China and over three years in Malaysia) into the JV.
 
&ldquo Coupled with ITA&rsquo s fine expertise in tile design patterns, Hafary is on track to become a key player in Southeast Asia&rsquo s ceramic industry,&rdquo reads the statement.
 
To further build on their core capabilities, Hafary has plans to invest approximately 40 million ringgit ($12.3 million) to ramp up the plants&rsquo production capacity from 16,000 sqm to 41,000 sqm per day.
 
In addition to helming Hap Seng Group&rsquo s ceramic business division, Hafary will also distribute the MML brand of ceramic tiles through its wholly-owned subsidiary Hafary Trading Sdn Bhd (HTSB) for retail, project as well as export markets.
 
The undertaking of the distribution will allow Hafary to have greater control over its supply chain and fully capture MML&rsquo s steadily growing demand. On this, Hafary will also be better equipped to take on larger project opportunities.
Hafary poised to become a key player in Southeast Asia&rsquo s ceramic industry - JV to add manufacturing capabilities to its portfolio
