Weak Financial Prospects Seem To Be Dragging Down Zantat Holdings Berhad (KLSE:ZANTAT) Stock
It is hard to get excited after looking at Zantat Holdings Berhad's (KLSE:ZANTAT) recent performance, when its stock has declined 10% over the past three months. We decided to study the company's financials to determine if the downtrend will continue as the long-term performance of a company usually dictates market outcomes. Specifically, we decided to study Zantat Holdings Berhad's ROE in this article. Return on equity or ROE is an important factor to be considered by a shareholder because it tells them how effectively their capital is being reinvested. In simpler terms, it measures the profitability of a company in relation to shareholder's equity. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Return on equity can be calculated by using the formula: Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Zantat Holdings Berhad is: 0.6% = RM454k ÷ RM73m (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024). The 'return' is the income the business earned over the last year. One way to conceptualize this is that for each MYR1 of shareholders' capital it has, the company made MYR0.01 in profit. Check out our latest analysis for Zantat Holdings Berhad So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. We now need to evaluate how much profit the company reinvests or "retains" for future growth which then gives us an idea about the growth potential of the company. Generally speaking, other things being equal, firms with a high return on equity and profit retention, have a higher growth rate than firms that don't share these attributes. It is hard to argue that Zantat Holdings Berhad's ROE is much good in and of itself. Not just that, even compared to the industry average of 6.7%, the company's ROE is entirely unremarkable. Therefore, it might not be wrong to say that the five year net income decline of 22% seen by Zantat Holdings Berhad was possibly a result of it having a lower ROE. We believe that there also might be other aspects that are negatively influencing the company's earnings prospects. For example, the business has allocated capital poorly, or that the company has a very high payout ratio. As a next step, we compared Zantat Holdings Berhad's performance with the industry and found thatZantat Holdings Berhad's performance is depressing even when compared with the industry, which has shrunk its earnings at a rate of 4.0% in the same period, which is a slower than the company. The basis for attaching value to a company is, to a great extent, tied to its earnings growth. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. By doing so, they will have an idea if the stock is headed into clear blue waters or if swampy waters await. If you're wondering about Zantat Holdings Berhad's's valuation, check out this gauge of its price-to-earnings ratio, as compared to its industry. Zantat Holdings Berhad's high three-year median payout ratio of 882% suggests that the company is depleting its resources to keep up its dividend payments, and this shows in its shrinking earnings. Paying a dividend beyond their means is usually not viable over the long term. Our risks dashboard should have the 4 risks we have identified for Zantat Holdings Berhad. Additionally, Zantat Holdings Berhad started paying a dividend only recently. So it looks like the management may have perceived that shareholders favor dividends even though earnings have been in decline. In total, we would have a hard think before deciding on any investment action concerning Zantat Holdings Berhad. The low ROE, combined with the fact that the company is paying out almost if not all, of its profits as dividends, has resulted in the lack or absence of growth in its earnings. Until now, we have only just grazed the surface of the company's past performance by looking at the company's fundamentals. You can do your own research on Zantat Holdings Berhad and see how it has performed in the past by looking at this FREE detailed graph of past earnings, revenue and cash flows.

Investors in Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad (KLSE:AMWAY) have unfortunately lost 15% over the last year
Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad (KLSE:AMWAY) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 13% in the last month. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last year have been less than pleasing. In fact, the price has declined 23% in a year, falling short of the returns you could get by investing in an index fund. It's worthwhile assessing if the company's economics have been moving in lockstep with these underwhelming shareholder returns, or if there is some disparity between the two. So let's do just that. We've discovered 2 warning signs about Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad. View them for free. There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price. Unfortunately Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad reported an EPS drop of 13% for the last year. This reduction in EPS is not as bad as the 23% share price fall. Unsurprisingly, given the lack of EPS growth, the market seems to be more cautious about the stock. The less favorable sentiment is reflected in its current P/E ratio of 9.14. You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). It is of course excellent to see how Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad has grown profits over the years, but the future is more important for shareholders. If you are thinking of buying or selling Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad stock, you should check out this FREE detailed report on its balance sheet. As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. In the case of Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad, it has a TSR of -15% for the last 1 year. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. This is largely a result of its dividend payments! We regret to report that Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad shareholders are down 15% for the year (even including dividends). Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 3.3%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 10%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Even so, be aware that Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 1 of those can't be ignored... But note: Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with past earnings growth (and further growth forecast). Please note, the market returns quoted in this article reflect the market weighted average returns of stocks that currently trade on Malaysian exchanges. Have feedback on this article?

MN Holdings Berhad's (KLSE:MNHLDG) Earnings Are Weaker Than They Seem
MN Holdings Berhad's (KLSE:MNHLDG) robust earnings report didn't manage to move the market for its stock. Our analysis suggests that shareholders have noticed something concerning in the numbers. See our latest analysis for MN Holdings Berhad Many investors haven't heard of the accrual ratio from cashflow, but it is actually a useful measure of how well a company's profit is backed up by free cash flow (FCF) during a given period. In plain english, this ratio subtracts FCF from net profit, and divides that number by the company's average operating assets over that period. You could think of the accrual ratio from cashflow as the 'non-FCF profit ratio'. Therefore, it's actually considered a good thing when a company has a negative accrual ratio, but a bad thing if its accrual ratio is positive. While having an accrual ratio above zero is of little concern, we do think it's worth noting when a company has a relatively high accrual ratio. Notably, there is some academic evidence that suggests that a high accrual ratio is a bad sign for near-term profits, generally speaking. MN Holdings Berhad has an accrual ratio of 0.25 for the year to December 2024. Therefore, we know that it's free cashflow was significantly lower than its statutory profit, which is hardly a good thing. To wit, it produced free cash flow of RM8.6m during the period, falling well short of its reported profit of RM28.5m. We note, however, that MN Holdings Berhad grew its free cash flow over the last year. Notably, the company has issued new shares, thus diluting existing shareholders and reducing their share of future earnings. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. To understand the value of a company's earnings growth, it is imperative to consider any dilution of shareholders' interests. As it happens, MN Holdings Berhad issued 36% more new shares over the last year. That means its earnings are split among a greater number of shares. To celebrate net income while ignoring dilution is like rejoicing because you have a single slice of a larger pizza, but ignoring the fact that the pizza is now cut into many more slices. Check out MN Holdings Berhad's historical EPS growth by clicking on this link. MN Holdings Berhad has improved its profit over the last three years, with an annualized gain of 318% in that time. In comparison, earnings per share only gained 203% over the same period. And at a glance the 106% gain in profit over the last year impresses. On the other hand, earnings per share are only up 84% in that time. So you can see that the dilution has had a fairly significant impact on shareholders. In the long term, earnings per share growth should beget share price growth. So MN Holdings Berhad shareholders will want to see that EPS figure continue to increase. But on the other hand, we'd be far less excited to learn profit (but not EPS) was improving. For that reason, you could say that EPS is more important that net income in the long run, assuming the goal is to assess whether a company's share price might grow. As it turns out, MN Holdings Berhad couldn't match its profit with cashflow and its dilution means that earnings per share growth is lagging net income growth. Considering all this we'd argue MN Holdings Berhad's profits probably give an overly generous impression of its sustainable level of profitability. If you want to do dive deeper into MN Holdings Berhad, you'd also look into what risks it is currently facing. To help with this, we've discovered 3 warning signs (2 shouldn't be ignored!) that you ought to be aware of before buying any shares in MN Holdings Berhad. In this article we've looked at a number of factors that can impair the utility of profit numbers, and we've come away cautious. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business. So you may wish to see this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with high insider ownership. Have feedback on this article?
