takes time, slowly but surely. hope that the board will continue to unlock the value of Parkson given the emergence of new substantial shareholder now. The street likes to see accounting profit instead of generating cash from ops, positive cash flow, double digit operating margins :)

Congrats, Ricardo. Spot on summary you have there and seems like you have been looking at the numbers/margins :) Indeed PHB consistent double digit margins are driven by PRA margins; the anchor if you will. PRG margins dipped to 5% and below for 2 out of 4 qtrs in FY2024. Q1FY25 is back to double digit. Retail sales data in China is looking good, Parkson Credit is parked under PRG and growing. A consistent double digit margins from PRG coupled with the planned investments will be nice for PHB.

another notable movement in the top 30 shareholdings is Cheng Yong Kim; added ~10mil shares of Parkson based on latest AR. His shareholding has not changed since 2020 and latest AR showing he has increased it to 19+mil. Not sure what is brewing but hopefully the board will work hard to unlock the value of PHB.

No stop loss for this as the risk is low for me, Ricardo. I kept 700 lots free tickets which were mostly bought back in 2023 at 0.135. Rebalanced my position last year after the results of q2fy24 due to its ops margin dropped below 10% driven by PRG and being wary of year end impairment exercise. Didnt add any positions since then until q1fy25 results showing ops margin is above 15% which is higher than q4fy24 ops margin. Added 745 lots yesterday. I will consider increasing my position if ops margins remain strong and rebalance if ops margins starting to show weak numbers.

Technically, the current major long term trends is still intact since the breakout at 0.19; above the 2 years downtrend line. Takes time and hopefully will be a worthwhile ride. 3rd higher low since 2020 and hopefully 3rd higher high in the making; internal focus of efficiencies and positive external headwinds of higher consumer spending at the back of lower interest rates and China gomen focus on boosting consumer consumptions. The insiders movement is also a positive factor with the emergence of new substantial shareholder.

PRA gapped down few days ago and apparently it's due to qr loss; - SGD100k driven by lower revenue + higher wage & expenses for private label expansion. Net loss seems small on the surface but higher wages/expenses is a structural/permanent change which requires revenue growth to be higher by ~10% to offset the structural change. PRG report will be released on 21st Aug.

actually, the results is pretty good from the baseline of "China ops is struggling", Ricardo. The headline operating margins was at 13.1% (operating profit/total operating revenue) and assuming we strip off the lease termination income, the normalized operating margins will be at 7.4%. The headline operating margins was the 3rd highest quarter over the last 3 fiscal years. There is something else that is growing organically from the report - % of direct sales from total sales. It has reached 30%. It seems to me that private labels is doing really well in China and hence, PRA latest report showing that mgmt has started to expand the private labels too. Direct sales contribution to PRG has always been mid to high twenties while PRA is less than twenties. Private labels tends to have higher margins compared to concessionaire sales.
