since they no longer have their property division (all fully sold as of Dec 2013) do you think their share price should adjust downward further to bring PE ratio to a more sensible level? As a note, in 1H2014, their net profits dropped 58% from last year mainly because no contribution from property segment.

Also do you think this company can be a good acquisition target (say from Thai Bev or CP Group) since they have very strong household name and most importantly, good distribution network? At 800 mln market cap, it aint that expensive for such a company exposed to emerging Southeast Asia

Was reading YHS FY15 announcement made on 22/2/16. Realised at the announcement date, the auditors already completed all work and gave an opinion already. That's pretty fast in my opinion.

YHS released its latest quarterly:

Removing the gain from the sale of its shares in Super Group, net profit for fell from $5.4m from Q1FY16 to $2.5m in Q1FY17.

Since July 2016, it had also lost its exclusive bottling agreement with Pepsi; something that was instrumental in building YHS into the beverage manufacturer it is, many decades ago.

Looking at its product line-up, I am not confident that there will be any reversal in its fortunes. The soya sauces, canned curries and chrysanthemum teas which built the company has lost its appeal to consumers. I can't even find its soya sauce -- the first product which began their empire -- on NTUC shelves. Its latest Annual Report show a drastic shrinking of sales in its Singapore market from $290m to $169m over the past 5 years.

At a market cap of $800m against a clean balance sheet of $675m equity, of a business that is clearly deteriorating/mismanaged, I am not sure why there should be any premium to its equity.

Without the $6.5m gain on disposal of a subsidiary, YHS would have made a $1m loss this quarter.

WHy is YHS still trading at premium to book? They do not have any desired assets left and they dont payout their cash hoarde. Their beverage business is also dying. Makes me wonder what FEO plans to do with it.

16 July 2020 Losses for 1H2020 as at 30 Jun 2020 YHS
https://links.sgx.com/FileOpen/YHSL-2020...eID=623961

Following a preliminary review of unaudited financial results of the Group for the period 1 January through 30 June 2020 (“1H 2020”), YHS wishes to advise shareholders that for 1H 2020, the Group expects to report a net loss due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Compared to the same period last year, the expected net loss for the 1H 2020 will be a significant decline due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the absence of one-off gains on asset disposals and fair value gains on financial assets which were recorded in the same period last year.
The COVID-19 pandemic has and is expected to continue to adversely impact the Group’s revenue and profit due to softness in consumer spending, disruptions to operations and sales channels as well as higher operating costs. 

Wear mask and keep your social distance, everyone.
