Update on NextNation again

Blogged on March 2008, Nextnation Again. Let me paste the whole posting here again.

-----------------------------------

Blogged last year: Update on NextNation

I wrote the following:

First blogged on Nextnation on 31st May 2007.
here

Two points mentioned then..

  • 1.Net margins show some weakness but the growth is impressive!
  • 2. The biggest concern for me is that NextNation has an issue with its receivables and because of this, one do not really see wealth being generated in the company's cash flows despite its very impressive earnings.
Nextnation announced its next earnings on June 29th. Quarterly rpt on consolidated results for the financial period ended 30/4/2007

Sales dropped on a q-q to 21.533 million.
Earnings dropped to a mere 480k.
Receivables is at 67.092 million
There goes the GROWTH stock status!

I wrote a simple posting.

Stock last traded 5 sen!!!

Company mentioned the following:
  • The Group generated loss before taxation and loss after tax before minority interest of RM8.08 million and RM8.02 million respectively for the current quarter as compared to profit before taxation of RM1.65 million and profit after tax before minority interest of RM0.80 million respectively recorded in the previous quarter. The losses recorded were mainly due to lower revenue generated and higher operational cost for existing products and services.

Hi Moola,

I bought Nextnation at 0.10 few months ago after i found out its selling below NCA.

Then, I checked thru some blogs and saw your article on Nextnation with huge receivables. Immediately, I sold at 0.11.

That's one of many benefits of blogs. Thanks Moola.

Keep it up! I believe you can save many from making losses. One more thing I learned is, buying a stock cannot just based on NCA. Have to look at its future prospects, ROEs and NPAT growth to name a few.

Cheers!!
