Maxis, after privatized and delisted for some times, is coming back to KLSE again with a new IPO.
According to the latest news, they will not be issuing new shares, but will offer 2.25 billion shares, representing 30% of its existing share capital. The estimated IPO price is RM5.20 per share.
With this information, let's do some calculation.
The total shares of Maxis is 2.25 billion / 30% = 7.5 billion.
For your information, Maxis made a revenue of RM8.45 billion and net profit of RM2.4 billion in 2008. For the 1st half year of 2009, revenue is RM4.24 billion and net profit is RM1.14 billion.
Let's estimate the EPS of Maxis now.
I'll estimate the net profit with the following simple guessing formula:
Multiply the half year net profit of 2009 by 2 to get a full year figure.
1.14 x 2 = 2.28
With this, the EPS will be 2.28/7.5 = 0.304
If the IPO price is 5.20, then the PE will be 5.2/0.304 = 17.11
Maxis stated that they plan to give back 75% of net profit as dividend. So the dividend will be around 0.304 x 75% = 0.228.
And the estimated DY will then be 0.228/5.20 = 4.38%
So, are you willing to buy Maxis IPO at the PE of around 17?
I think they come out with the proposed IPO price by referencing to Digi (6947), which currently has a PE of around 15.
Currently, even Digi doesn't seem attractive to me, so why should I buy Maxis at a higher PE and lower DY? This IPO is not attractive to me from the fundamental perspective.

The maxis story has never been about dividends alone. The dividends are the sweetners - it about the growth and most importantly the next corporate action - you make a killing when TAK takes it private again or injects Astro or India back into it, at a discount.

ReplyDeleteHi vialentino,
ReplyDeleteDo not be easily influenced.
You should do your homework before making a decision, especially when it involves in thousands of ringgit.
The Edge of this week has an article about Maxis IPO, which provides some reasons from both side of why should buy and why shouldn't buy.
