Investing in Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad (KLSE:BIPORT) five years ago would have delivered you a 46% gain
Explore Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad's Fair Values from the Community and select yours Stock pickers are generally looking for stocks that will outperform the broader market. And the truth is, you can make significant gains if you buy good quality businesses at the right price. For example, long term Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad (KLSE:BIPORT) shareholders have enjoyed a 29% share price rise over the last half decade, well in excess of the market return of around 2.2% (not including dividends). Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. During five years of share price growth, Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 2.6% per year. This EPS growth is slower than the share price growth of 5% per year, over the same period. This suggests that market participants hold the company in higher regard, these days. That's not necessarily surprising considering the five-year track record of earnings growth. You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here. What About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. As it happens, Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad's TSR for the last 5 years was 46%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return. A Different Perspective While the broader market lost about 0.2% in the twelve months, Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad shareholders did even worse, losing 13% (even including dividends). Having said that, it's inevitable that some stocks will be oversold in a falling market. The key is to keep your eyes on the fundamental developments. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 8% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.

Bintulu Port sets benchmark in corporate anti-drug initiative
BINTULU (Aug 1): Corporate and private sector players are being encouraged to take a more proactive role in combating substance abuse by emulating Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad (BPHB), the first corporate body to establish its own Friends of the National Anti-Drugs Agency (Rakan AADK) group. Jepak assemblyman Iskandar Turkee, who is former Sarawak AADK director, hailed BPHB's initiative as a model of corporate integrity and commitment to a safe, drug-free workplace. 'This move reflects the company's strong resolve to integrity in its daily operations and its drive to deliver quality services while minimising misconduct,' he said during the Bintulu Port Ethics Day programme yesterday. He praised BPHB's leadership for fully supporting the government's integrity agenda under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), and for spearheading the Rakan AADK programme. 'This is a visionary step. In the past, anti-drug committees were common in government departments, but what Bintulu Port is doing now goes further – they have formed an anti-drug entity within a corporative environment, which is very commendable,' he added. Iskandar also emphasised that drug prevention efforts must extend beyond the workplace to include employees' families. 'This kind of top-level commitment ensures that integrity is not only preached but felt by all stakeholders,' he said, encouraging other private companies to emulate BPHB's efforts. He acknowledged that substance abuse affects both the public and private sectors and highlighted AADK's collaboration with employers to conduct urine screenings during recruitment as a preventive measure. Drawing from his experience in rehabilitation centres, Iskandar noted that many addiction cases stem from fragile family backgrounds, and expressed hope that BPHB's programme would include parent-focused sessions and family engagement activities to create a protective environment for children and youths. He added that elected representatives must support these efforts by providing recreational and sports facilities, helping young people lead active, meaningful lives that steer them away from negative influences. Meanwhile, Bintulu Port Group president and chief executive officer Ruslan Abdul Ghani expressed pride in the company's pioneering role. 'We initiated Rakan AADK as a preventive platform to foster awareness and engagement through talks, outreach, and continuous education. We aim to build a drug-free culture among our staff and their families,' he said. Ruslan reiterated that substance misuse remains a major concern and stressed the need for inclusive, sustained efforts to protect the workforce and the surrounding community.

Tariffs to have minimal impact to Bintulu Port, says group CEO
Ruslan fields questions from reporters. KUCHING (April 21): The sweeping tariffs imposed by the United States are expected to have minimal impact on Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad (BPHB), says group chief executive officer Ruslan Abdul Ghani. He said while it is still too early to draw a firm conclusion, the group does not expect to be significantly affected. He explained this is because most of BPHB's exports do not go directly to the United States. 'We normally export to India, especially for our crude palm oil (CPO); to China, even to Africa. 'We don't deal directly with America, so hopefully that will have quite a minimum impact to us,' he told reporters after the group's 29th Annual General Meeting at Hilton Hotel here today. Ruslan however acknowledged that there could still be some indirect effects. 'It's a bit too early to say, because there's the direct impact, and there's also the indirect impact. So we are currently evaluating all of this,' he added. The group had earlier posted a record-breaking total revenue for its financial year ended December 31, 2024 at RM888.47 million, representing an 8.13 per cent growth driven by disciplined operational management and strong support from the state government. The group also achieved a total cargo throughput of 51.94 million tonnes, making BPHB the third largest port in Malaysia in terms of volume handled. The port's vessel traffic also reached a record 8,026 calls that positions BPHB as a critical maritime logistics hub in the region Despite the uncertainties ahead, Ruslan remains hopeful about the group's outlook in 2025. He said growth will be supported by new throughput, including volumes from green energy, as well as the continued strong performance of Sarawak PetChem and liquefied natural gas (LNG). On 5 April, a blanket 10 per cent tariff was imposed on almost all imports into the United States. Four days later, the US announced even higher 'reciprocal' tariffs on goods from around 60 countries based on trade deficits. Malaysia faces a 24 per cent reciprocal tariff. However, on the same day, Trump walked back parts of the policy by suspending the country-specific tariffs and while maintaining the 10 per cent blanket duty on almost all US imports.
