China Minzhongâs 1Q ended Sept â12 net profit rose 31% yoy to Rmb122mln, coming in slightly above expectations due to better than expected sale volumes.
ï¬ But net profit margin fell 6% points to 19.8% due to higher production costs and increased sales of lower margined paddy crops.
ï¬ More importantly the company collected back Rmb687mln out of the Rmb967mln and generated Rmb259mln cash flows for the quarter, bringing their cash holdings up from Rmb67mln to Rmb302mln. The widely watched trade receivable days dropped sharply
from 145 to 66 resulting in their cash conversion cycle improving from 184 to 54 days.
ï¬ Looking ahead, management expects continued growth due to new farmland contributions, increased contributions from higher margined crops such as King Oyster Mushrooms and Black Fungus as well as doubling of their processing production capacity.
ï¬ With reduced concerns over the quality of the companyâs trade receivables and with the company on track for continued growth, the share price recovery from its low of 53 cents hit in June â12 looks likely to continue.
That's too "shallow" n defensive to look at stocks. You're definitely in de wrong place. Go for bonds or debt instruments or REITS. Apple, the world's best and most profitable company do not give out divd. These r growth stocks. CMZ has a long way to build its potential. Many big funds, incl GIC, are in it. If u'r looking for "old" companies, u shld buy FnN, which is >130 yrs old. Did u, @ 6.50? I'm looking for company that has sustainable business (as a basic) and good potential (can generate). It must hv good givernance and made money for shareholders. The rest wiill fall in place.
