We Think Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad's (KLSE:KERJAYA) Solid Earnings Are Understated
The market seemed underwhelmed by last week's earnings announcement from Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad (KLSE:KERJAYA) despite the healthy numbers. We did some analysis to find out why and believe that investors might be missing some encouraging factors contained in the earnings. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. As finance nerds would already know, the accrual ratio from cashflow is a key measure for assessing how well a company's free cash flow (FCF) matches its profit. To get the accrual ratio we first subtract FCF from profit for a period, and then divide that number by the average operating assets for the period. You could think of the accrual ratio from cashflow as the 'non-FCF profit ratio'. As a result, a negative accrual ratio is a positive for the company, and a positive accrual ratio is a negative. That is not intended to imply we should worry about a positive accrual ratio, but it's worth noting where the accrual ratio is rather high. To quote a 2014 paper by Lewellen and Resutek, "firms with higher accruals tend to be less profitable in the future". Over the twelve months to December 2024, Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad recorded an accrual ratio of -0.17. Therefore, its statutory earnings were very significantly less than its free cashflow. To wit, it produced free cash flow of RM310m during the period, dwarfing its reported profit of RM160.2m. Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad shareholders are no doubt pleased that free cash flow improved over the last twelve months. 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. As we discussed above, Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad's accrual ratio indicates strong conversion of profit to free cash flow, which is a positive for the company. Based on this observation, we consider it possible that Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad's statutory profit actually understates its earnings potential! And on top of that, its earnings per share have grown at 62% per year over the last three years. Of course, we've only just scratched the surface when it comes to analysing its earnings; one could also consider margins, forecast growth, and return on investment, among other factors. Keep in mind, when it comes to analysing a stock it's worth noting the risks involved. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad you should know about. Today we've zoomed in on a single data point to better understand the nature of Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company.
