ComfortDelgro: Chasing Growth, Missing Returns?

By Tan Yee Peng

  • A decade of stagnant revenue and declining profits, despite significant capital investments in overseas expansion.
  • CDG was destroying shareholder value. Return on Equity (“ROE”) had fallen to 6.9% in 2023, almost half the 13.3% recorded in 2015. More critically, ROE remained below its 9% cost of equity.
  • Lack of strategic clarity on how its growth strategy aligns with long-term shareholder value creation.

Primer: Vitzrocell (082920 KS) – Oct 2025

By αSK

  • Vitzrocell is a global leader in lithium primary batteries, particularly for specialized industrial and military applications, demonstrating a robust growth trajectory with a 3-year net income CAGR of 44.4%.
  • The company is strategically positioned to benefit from growing demand in the smart grid, IoT, and defense sectors, driven by its technological expertise in high-temperature and long-lifespan batteries.
  • A strong financial profile, characterized by high growth, solid margins, and impressive free cash flow generation, supports continued investment in R&D and strategic acquisitions to solidify market leadership.

Atkore Activist Drama: Irenic Pushes For Sale Amid CEO Retirement!

By Baptista Research

  • Atkore Inc., a leading manufacturer in electrical infrastructure, is under fresh scrutiny after activist investor Irenic Capital Management disclosed a 2.5% stake and began pressuring the company to explore a sale.
  • The news, first reported by Bloomberg, triggered a 2.2% rise in Atkore’s stock price and follows the company’s own announcement that it is evaluating strategic alternatives with the help of Citi.
  • While no formal process has been confirmed, market speculation has intensified around a possible leveraged buyout or private equity-led acquisition.

Primer: MS International (MSI LN) – Oct 2025

By αSK

  • MS International is experiencing a period of exceptional growth, driven by its Defence and Security division, which now accounts for 70% of turnover. The company recently reported record pre-tax profits and revenues for the year ending April 2025.
  • The company exhibits a robust financial profile characterized by strong revenue and net income growth, a high return on equity, and a solid balance sheet with record cash levels reported in the 2024 fiscal year. This financial strength supports a consistently growing dividend.
  • Despite impressive profitability, the company’s growth track record is marred by extremely volatile and often negative operating and free cash flows, posing a significant risk to the sustainability of its performance and dividend policy.

Primer: Pasona Group (2168 JP) – Oct 2025

By αSK

  • Pasona Group is a major player in the Japanese human resources sector, offering a comprehensive suite of services including temporary staffing, contracting, recruitment, and outsourcing. The company is navigating a challenging domestic market characterized by a shrinking workforce and increasing demand for specialized talent.
  • Recent financial performance has been impacted by the sale of a significant subsidiary, Benefit One, and the conclusion of large-scale BPO projects related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company is now focused on its ‘PASONA GROUP VISION 2030’ to reform its revenue structure and invest in new growth areas.
  • Key challenges for Pasona include intense competition within the fragmented Japanese staffing industry, the need to adapt to evolving labor regulations, and the macroeconomic pressures of an aging population and potential economic slowdowns.

Primer: Salzer Electronics (SZE IN) – Oct 2025

By αSK

  • Salzer Electronics is a well-established player in the Indian electrical components market, demonstrating a robust track record of revenue and net income growth. The company is capitalizing on favorable industry tailwinds, including infrastructure development and the push for energy efficiency.
  • Strategic expansion into high-growth areas such as smart meters and electric vehicle (EV) chargers presents significant upside potential. These new ventures, coupled with a strong existing portfolio in switchgears and wires & cables, are expected to be key long-term growth drivers.
  • A significant concern is the consistently negative operating and free cash flow over the past three years, primarily due to high working capital requirements to fund growth. Improving cash conversion and working capital management will be critical for sustainable value creation.

Primer: Nam Cheong (NCL SP) – Oct 2025

By αSK

  • Turnaround Specialist in a Cyclical Up-swing: After a prolonged downturn that necessitated two major debt restructurings (2018 and 2024), Nam Cheong has emerged as a leaner entity focused on vessel chartering. The company is capitalizing on a robust recovery in the Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) market, driven by increased offshore oil & gas exploration and production activities.
  • Strong Financial Rebound and Earnings Visibility: The company has demonstrated a significant financial turnaround, with revenue and net income surging in the past three years. Recent long-term charter contract wins worth up to RM1.22 billion provide strong earnings visibility for the next 2-3 years, with a target of having 60-70% of its fleet on long-term charters.
  • High-Risk, High-Reward Profile: Despite the positive momentum and an attractive valuation on a forward P/E basis, the company operates in a highly cyclical industry and has a history of financial distress. Key risks include dependence on oil & gas capital expenditure, potential for renewed vessel oversupply, and a corporate governance structure with significant family influence.

Primer: Ever Glory United Holdings (EGUH SP) – Oct 2025

By αSK

  • Ever Glory United Holdings is a Singapore-based provider of mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineering services, poised to capitalize on the burgeoning Singaporean construction sector. The company has demonstrated robust top-line growth, driven by an increase in M&E projects.
  • Strategic acquisitions, such as Fire-Guard Engineering and Guthrie Engineering, have expanded the company’s service offerings and capabilities, enabling it to tender for larger, higher-value projects. This inorganic growth strategy is a key pillar of its future expansion.
  • While revenue growth is strong, the company faces challenges with gross margin pressure due to the completion of higher-margin projects and broader inflationary pressures. Management is focused on cost control and diversification to mitigate these impacts.

The Equity Dispatch #51 : Another Chinese Promote

By J Capital Research

  • Rich Sparkle is an absurd, Hong Kong based financial printing company whose share-price rise can only be attributed to the thin float—about 10% of the company.
  • That means that, if the 90% of under-the-surface owners chose to buy at prices higher than the company merits, a few purchases would drive up the price of the whole company.
  • We do not know whether this stock is manipulated, but there is nothing we can identify in the fundamentals or the sector it operates in that would make ANPA an attractive company to own at its current valuation.

  • Mitsubishi Logisnext Co., Ltd. (7105 JP) announced a pre-conditional tender offer from Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) at JPY1,537 per share, representing a 15.3% discount to the last close price.
  • The offer resulted from an auction process. The offer is light in comparison to peer multiples and is below the midpoint of the target IFA DCF valuation.

The STS segment is a key player in the global energy transition and sustainability movement, providing proprietary technologies for clean energy and petrochemicals. The MTS segment benefits from stable, long-term government contracts in defense, space, and national security, areas with consistent and growing budget allocations.
  • Solid Financial Performance and Growth Outlook: KBR has demonstrated robust financial health, with consistent revenue growth, margin expansion, and strong cash flow generation. The company has a strong track record of earnings growth and has been consistently increasing its dividend, signaling confidence in its future prospects.

  • Catalyst within months: The observation window ends YE 2025. Coupons adjust (up to +75bps) from May 2026 on the 2026s and over 2027-2028 on the 2028s, creating a tradable window. 
  • How to position: Own selected credit and optionality rather than step‑up carry. Trade around KPI disclosures and verification when the probability of a miss is priced before payments change. 

KBR to Spin Off Mission Technology Solutions: Creating Two Focused Platforms

By Garvit Bhandari

  • KBR will separate Mission Technology Solutions (government services, defense, space) from Sustainable Technology Solutions (process technologies, clean energy, and infrastructure), sharpening strategic focus and valuation clarity.
  • STS is asset-light with strong FCF and IP-driven growth, while MTS is capital-intensive with long-term government contracts; independence allows each to tailor capital allocation and pursue targeted M&A.

  • Vertically Integrated Business Model Creates Synergies: The company’s integrated model, which spans from the development and manufacturing of proprietary coating chemicals to the direct provision of services, creates significant competitive advantages. This ensures high-quality, standardized service across its network, reinforces its brand, and allows the KeePer LABO (B2C) stores to provide direct market feedback for the Products (B2B) segment.
  • Attractive Financial Profile with Shareholder Returns: KeePer exhibits a strong financial profile characterized by high margins, robust cash flow generation, and a solid balance sheet with low leverage.

SEBI Bars Man Industries and Key Management: Misstatement & Fund Diversion

By Nimish Maheshwari

  • SEBI barred Man Industries and three key executives from the securities market for 2Yrs, imposing 1 crore penalty on the company and officials for alleged “deliberate misstatement”.
  • The order fundamentally questions the quality and credibility of past reported earnings, especially the non-consolidation of the loss-making subsidiary, Merino Shelters, and the alleged round-tripping of funds.
  • While MIIL cites its strong ₹4,700 crore order book and minimal operational impact, the significant governance discount will persist until the SAT appeal is settled.

Jain Resource Recycling IPO Trading – Decent Anchor; Tepid Overall Demand

By Akshat Shah

Primer: United Tractors (UNTR IJ) – Sep 2025

By αSK

  • Despite challenges in the coal sector, the Construction Machinery segment shows robust growth, driven by strong demand for Komatsu equipment, particularly from the forestry and construction sectors. This diversification provides a partial hedge against coal market volatility.
  • The company maintains a strong financial position characterized by robust free cash flow generation and a commitment to shareholder returns through dividends. Management is actively pursuing a diversification strategy into non-coal minerals like gold and nickel, and renewable energy to ensure long-term sustainable growth.
