vic, you are still around, have wondered where u were... anyway, i thought part of the reason this counter goes up is because it release a very good set of Q1 results and management is very optimistic about its future.

I calculated but the cash per share is 9cts, diff from yrs but still consider as very high

yup, quite a thinly traded counter with huge spreads of 2-3cts usually. Thats why, can always go up/down by a couple of cents.

13.5c or up 1.5c with increasing volumes over the last 3 trading days.

11m done since August 7 with tight price range of  11-13.5c.

With cash per share standing at 11c, net profits surging after 2yrs of losses and extremely positive operating cashflow $16m to be pecise, this counter is waiting to be discovered by the market at some point.

I recall during the july period, the counter attemptd to breakout 3 times past 18c but always hit large maret drops on those days...... 41m done between 14c to 17c so counter is pretty tight now in terms of float from my obsrvations & monitoring.

 

Watch for it in the coming 8 weeks

Alamak, why this counter suddenly so low volume despite excellent results. Hardly move an inch when market is so volatile?? cornered stock or sleeping stock?

Analysis of 2nd Quarter 2007 results vs 2nd Quarter 2006

 

Revenue     :  $53,793,000 vs $24,141,000. Growth of 100%

Profit bf tax:    $3,563,000 vs   $283000  Growth: 1200%

Profit af tax: $3,072,000 vs $234,000 Growth of  1400%

Free operating Cashflow: $16.7m vs $8.3m growth of 100%

Cash per share: 11.4c vs 7.3c

 

Company is doing exceptionally well. Top-line went up 100%. Free operating cashflow also doubled. Cash per share up significantly. Lots of hiding of profit by buying lots of  raw materials & consumerables. $42m vs $19.9m with large payables.

 

At 13c, stock is seriously undervalued at 1X book and 11.4c cash per share. I?m changing my 1.5x to a min of 2x to 2.5x book value over the next 6mths as long as they continue to generate such numbers. A blockbuster in the making.

Action Asia had a nice day today with buyers coming in to buy up from 12c to 14.5c to finally close at 13.5c with a 1c mark down at the last 5mins closing period.

0.04m@ buyer price and 0.34m@ seller price. Rebounded off its recent low of 10c to trade just at 1X book. Unaffected by meltdown again today. Price floor has been established.

Just saw that results was announced on the 8th August after market hrs. Going through numbers to check on top-line growth, operating cashflow and net profitability.... and to see if restructuring & CAPEX investment is at the end & CAPEX reduced. If good, then that would explain reaction from market plus the fact that there was 3 attempts to breakout in a meaningful way in anticipation of any strong set of financial numbers.

Cornered


As one can see, there has been 

1. serious accumualtion of the stock since the published annual report in March 16. more than 131m done in the last 5mths (with the exception of last 7 trading days) hence stock is seriously cornered.

2.   a price spread from 9.5c to a high of 18c and it hover between 15c to 17c for a few weeks in june before showing signs of a major break above 18c after 3 false breakout. One in 20 June and another in 14th July but broke down after the 1st sell down on 16thJuly and the last one 24th July with the 2rd selldown on the 25th July. If not for these two big sell downs, AA was poised to break just like Easttech, Metal component, Casa and CEI. *sigh*

3.  To demonstrate how cornered this stock is now. From 29 July to 080807 or 7 market days just about 5m was traded or about 750 lots a day with the big selldown just generating 380lots. Pricemovements were very deliberartly by BB to create panic to induced forced selling in the last 3 days with deliberate shorts but bounced back yesterday 2 1/2c.  If the stock was not cornered, the selling down in vol would be very pronouned like East Tech and any other top 30 speculatives.

 

4.  In my opinion, this counter is one that will bid its time & will act when the time is right with the correct newsflow, results etc.

OCBC securities has a 4m margin cap on this, UOB KH has a C grade margin on this counter which means a single account has up to $1m with borrowed funds of $700k to fund injection of just $300k. For OCBC securities, at 4m, each margin account has margin access for 4m shares so at 15c, that's $600k in total with funding facilities of $400k for $200k cash. That's very serious firepower for the BB to tap on from OCBC and UOB KH.

--------------------------------------------------

In conclusion, Action Asia has what it takes to be a good blockbuster in the 2rd half of the year.

a. serious liqudity ie funds from 2 major houses OCBC and UOB KH for BB and investing public

b. growing & highly growing operating cashfllow showing 2yr restructuring efforts are bearning fruit

c. proven evidence of serious shareholder action in the early accumualtion phase with 3 false breakouts... shut down by early US events.

d. MFI even at this stage is at 73.. showing money is in the counter.

e. the thin sell quotes above 13c ie 20lots, 50lots, 40lots truely shows a cornered stock that has been controlled by the BB downwards just to seriously play punk with ppl like me that has large positions and want to kick me out... hahahah similar situations like SMB earlier in the year, PTCL and Eng Kong. Nothing new to me.

Next week barring some stability in the US markets, I'm readying my guns for some serious averaging from my avg 15.5 cost.

till the next counter and all kudos to Rosanne, one of my research assistants who has done a good job doing the 1st cut research on this counter. Hulumus had a position on AA last year. What's your view now.

Starting coverage on Action Asia on a weekly if not daily basis considering this is a stock that attempted to break 3times out of 17.5c in the last 6 weeks but failed for market reasons like the 4 major selldowns. MFI currently stands at 73.. shows money still in the counter & a tightly held counter now.

Action Asia featured prominently in my mid-term porfolio ie 6-9mths for the following financial reasons :

1. restructuring stock/recovery stock

2. Operating cashflow for 1st Quarter of this year is highly positive. $3.25m (number in red above) as compared for the whole year of 2006.If they continue to deliever such operating cashflow with hardly any financing & investing cashflow, they are on their way to solid profitablility.

3. Losses are due to continued provisions or writedowns which are accounting treatment. The diversification of markets will lower these numbers. Cost control is also featuring very prominently in the restructuring efforts in the last 2 years.

4. Look at their cash per share. 7.3c per share. Another Nippecraft type.

So nutshell from a financial standpoint. cost restructuring, revenue/market diversifications, highly positive operating cashflow to prove tangible efforts in restructuring and lots and lots of cash in the bank.

at 12.5c close, it's a steal once again just under its NTA.

In my next post, I'll focus on shareholder changes...... the greatest predictor of historical, current and future share price movements other than charts.
