___ DANCO (5275) - Resilience is the key to growth___
INTRODUCTION
During my initial coverage of DANCOMECH HOLDINGS BERHAD (5276),
many of my subscribers have called me out for being particularly biased
towards this counter despite it being a small-medium cap counter with
not too much of trading volume. So what made me so attracted to this
counter that I labelled it as my personal gem? Especially due to its low
visibility and always be under the radar of most investors. Read along to find out.
WARNING:
FOR PUNTER/SHORT TERMER/DAY TRADER, THIS COUNTER MAY NOT BE FOR YOU,
YOU MAY MOVE TO OTHER COUNTERS WITH HIGHER VOLUME. FOR THE REST, BEWARE,
TONNES OF INFORMATION (~50% OF MY RESEARCH) AHEAD.
Being
a company that is primarily involved in manufacturing segment for other
industries, DANCO started its journey as a middle man, procuring valve,
PCE (Precision control equipments), indsutrial pumps and other
measuring equipments, and resell / distribute to local industry or
other regional industries. The company mainly involved in supporting the realms palm oil and oleochemicals, oil & gas and petrochemical, and water treatment & sewerage industries.
Today, DANCO has evolved into a multi-segment manufacturing company with its recent acquisition of MTL Engineering (2020) - metal fabrication, metal stamping, tool and die making @70% respectively; and also UTC
Engineering Sdn Bhd (2021) - electrical engineering services in power
distribution, control and automation @55% stake respectively.
Fundamentals
Taking into the consideration of overall DANCO's fundamental analysis, I
would rate this company a personal "A" for a good standing in balance
sheets, and also its management segment, which a healthy cashflow, lack
of debt and good amount of spending for growth. Whilst the details of
the overall fundamentals would not be discussed in this version of
article, most details I am sure you can find online and study on your
own right? After, don't take solely my word for it. That aside, let's
look into some interesting subtopics in regards to DANCO's fundamentals.
a(i). Financial Results (Extended)
Looking into the
recent financials of the company, the company have been profit making
ever since its IPO listing in Bursa, whereas the growth of the revenue
and profits have been marginally and also fluctuating throughout the
years (mainly based on palm-oil industry and other factors).
However, this scene is set to change in the next few quarters or years with the new ventures into Metal Stamping / Tool & Die moulding and/or manufacturing, with the most recent one being Electrical Engineering. With the company recently announced a record breaking revenue and record breaking profit based on the 3rd Quarter of FY2020.
Financial result wise DANCO has been quite consistent throughout the years with an average T4Q Dividend Yield of 2.73% (Still higher than bank FD, which is a big sigh by the way).
With
that being said, the upcoming quarter seems to be a bright spot
considering we might see a start of project based on the award of the
Jurong's ~RM36.5m contract to Arah Edar (M) Sdn Bhd, DANCO's 55% owned
subsidiary. Apart from that, we should also consider the significance of this project. This
is the very first large project that DANCO related subsidiary has
secured for a long time (if not never), we definitely hope more could
come into this foray with the acquisition of MTL and the pending
acquisition of UTC.

Let's look at some calculation for the current earnings, alongside with the 'possible' earnings for DANCO:
Estimated (T4Q) calculations:
Current estimation before MTL (2019)
Revenue = 95.47m
PAT = 15.69m
PE = 12.92
EPS = 4.9 cents
Price = RM0.630/share (as off writing)
Forward Conservative estimation after MTL (2020)
Revenue = ~33m/quarter; 132m/annum
PAT = ~5m/quarter; 20m/annum
EPS = ~1.565 cents/quarter; ~6.25cents/quarter (rounded down)
PE 11 = RM0.685/share (rounded down) ||| 20% discount = RM0.550/share (rounded down)
PE 13 = RM0.813/share (rounded down) ||| 20% discount = RM0.650/share (rounded down)
PE 15 = RM0.935/share (rounded down) ||| 20% discount = RM0.750/share (rounded down)
> The above is a CONVERSATIVE calculation included a 20% premium discount because I kiasi & kiasu & market don't react as wished <
Forward Conservative estimation after MTL (2020) + SG Contract (55% stake; estimated margin = 12%; 1SGD =3.02MYR)
Revenue = 132m + (36.272m/55%= 19.95m) = 167.059m
PAT = 20m + (36.272m /12% = 4.353m / 55% = 2.394m) = 22.394m
EPS = 6.99cents
PE 11 = RM0.765/share (rounded down) ||| 20% discount = RM0.610/share (rounded down)
PE 13 = RM0.905/share (rounded down) ||| 20% discount = RM0.720/share (rounded down)
PE 15 = RM1.040/share (rounded down) ||| 20% discount = RM0.830/share (rounded down)
> The above is a CONVERSATIVE calculation included a 20% premium discount because I kiasi & kiasu & market don't react as wished <
So the rest you
can figure out on your own, as I already taken a CONSERVATIVE amount,
which is roughly 10-20% discount from the current quarter of ~36m in
revenue; ~5.6m in profits. On top of that, I take another 20% discount
on the calculation after calculation of share prices. Well, even if you
don't believe in PE calculations, I believe a 20% TWICE, will get at
least your eyeballs turned.
a(ii). Acquisitions, Future Prospects & Misc
Talking
about acquisitions and future prospects, DANCO is not a laggard as
well. With the recent acquisition of MTL (2020) and also UTC (2021),
DANCO's growth pathway is set with a direction. DANCO is set to expand
to fields that are more advanced and precise, but still somewhat
inter-related to the company's origins, which is definitely a consistent
and stable approach in terms of investing into the future.
MTL Engineering (acquired in 2020)
MTL
is primarily involved in the business of producing metal stamping
parts, its components; designing and manufacturing of tools and dies,
and its moulds. This line of business is relatable to that of the
counter parts in the more advanced ends, you guessed it, EMS and
Semi-Conductors, with the increasing consumption of electronics
worldwide, it is only logical there are more expansions in production
capacity. Whereas with the increase of capacity requires expansion of
production lines, so MTL may be involved in this. At the moment it is
more engaged with consumer electronics sector, in particular, to
manufacturers of HVAC products, and also to manufacturers of metal
furniture components / entire products.

UTC Engineering Sdn Bhd (acquisition in progress)
UTC
on the other hand, is mainly involved in the electrical engineering
realms, whereby they do electronic and also instrumentation engineering
business. Not much was revealed in the UTC acquisition. But based on
their website did indicate that their business is highly relatable to
DANCO's main businesses i.e. Pump / Valve manufacturing and also metal
stamping / die & tool manufacturing. This acquisition in my opinion
seems to be supplementary to DANCO, they could add more value into their
business clients.

Additional Notes:
This
portion I shall share 1 observation that I have noticed, and somewhat
puzzled, although I do have the possible scenarios played out in my head
while writing this piece, do let me know what are your opinions on the
following:
The two brothers in the two directors, Mr. Aik Cho Swing & Mr. Aik Swee Tong, have converted a total of 25,000,000 shares from their holding warrant, DANCO-WA to mother share, with the warrant premium standing at close to 0% (-1.59%) during the time of conversion, 23rd December 2020. With
the company's retained earnings standing at RM107,833,000, could
shareholders expect a bumper dividend incoming? Or possibly, a bonus
issue / share split? Only time will tell.
Technicals
Moving
towards the technicals, DANCO's graph are also a good study. At the
time of writing, DANCO's graph looks to be in a possible consolidation
mode, where more and more shares are collected, but with no expectation
of sudden influx of huge volumes. On some of the technical indicators
used,
(i). SMA - 10 Day SMA is trending downwards to between
50 & 100 SMA, we might see more consolidation before a breakout
pattern forms be it upwards or downwards;
(ii). BB - Bollinger Bands indicator shows that DANCO is moving within its region, without much anomalies;
(iii). MACD - MACD indicator at this stage indicates a
possible exit point. However, do keep in mind that there were multiple
external factors that affected the local bourse i.e. MCO 2.0 / Emergency
declaration. Hence, graphs may be skewed, for those who look at TA
heavily;
(iv). RSI - RSI indicator shows nothing much as well,
with the indicators are neither oversold or overbought, however hovering
towards the possible stronger buying pressure than selling;
(v). MCDX - The highly volatile and talked about MCDX
SmartMoney indicator seems to indicate that there are some interests in
the 'hot money' / 'high liquid' monies flow in and out of DANCO's stock
trades.
> Full Technical Analysis not available for free extended version of this article <
Overall,
I would rate this as lacklustre at the moment, depending on external
factors and also possible any company announcements. Definitely not
something a short term investor / day trader would be interested in.
Speculations
Now, to the portion where some of my followers are most excited about. It is also the portion where I do not know how they obtained some of their information or where they got it from. This is highly speculative and may or may not have sufficient evidence to back it up.
Please proceed with caution and do take it with a grain of salt. WARNING: VERIFY whenever and however you can.
(i). Linkage with supply to glove companies
Personally,
I have not come across concrete details stating that DANCO is actively
and solely supplying pumps / valves to the few big companies i.e.
TOPGLOV / HARTA / KOSSAN. However, there was mention of it quoted by
'jomnterry' and also some of my followers reported hearing such from the
known Stock Education Channel Sharix (Or better known as Harry Teo).
The
supply of such pumps and valves represents recurring income for DANCO,
as maintenance of plant and equipments are done on a regular basis. Same
applies for all manufacturing plants / industries, where large scale
productions are involved, hence more wear and tear situations.

(ii). Diversification into more advanced industries i.e. Semi-conductor related?
Another speculation that is rifed around DANCO's possible
diversification into more advanced industry i.e. Semi-conductor related.
For this 'speculation', I personally do think that this is plausible,
albeit could be a further look into the future. As well as DANCO is
positioned in its manufacturing and trading activities, I do think that
it does and will take some time before DANCO can have the expertise and
also opportunity to venture directly into Semi-conductor related
industries.
That said however, DANCO did take up expansion via the acquisition of
MTL Group, which is involved in metal stamping and also die/tool
production; complemented with the expertise of UTC Engineering Sdn Bhd,
which is involved in Electrical Engineering. This acquisition could pave
way for DANCO's possible foray into the Semi-conductor related
industry. After all, we do have a company that had similar start don't
we? A quick screen grab for your curious minds:
Conclusion
Again,
there is no denying that there IS personal bias towards this company.
My followers would be able to tell you how much I enjoy monitoring this
company and its prospects especially future acquisitions and
diversifications. All companies each have their strengths and
weaknesses, for DANCO, one thing I do not appreciate, is that they have
not much of shareholder engagement or share related activities. However,
this could be good too, less 'frying'. Its smaller market
capitalization could also be an issue in gaining exposure for more
market opportunities or business opportunities. The industry itself is
looking stale-good with the uprising of Palm Oil cycle, I do hope that
there are more contribution from water/sewage segment as Oil & Gas
seems to be a bit slow at the moment. Perhaps DANCO could learn a thing
or two from BOILER in terms of energy / renewables?
As the wind sails with DANCO, this company has the healthy prospects,
well managed company, the hunger for growth. These are many of the
qualities one look for when scouting a company, let alone investing in
one. There has been alot of companies out there that have proven
themselves and grow into significance as the time goes by. For DANCO, I
am keen to see where this boat is sailing towards, but at the moment, I
am enjoying its resilience in a troubled times.

DANCO Special - As this an Extended free version of a writing, I
am obliged and willingly stand out to say that there is personal bias
towards this counter / company for its perceived qualities for myself.
There are good and there are bad for every company and DANCO is not an
exception. I will not and do not condone trading solely based on
