800 Super

[nsengkia]

Yes, waiting for some announcement.

I had earlier taken a look at this counter (when it was at 24 cents) but decided not to invest which clearly was a mistake...... I was attracted to the business because I believe that trash can only be a long term positive business in Singapore given the Government's policy to grow the population. However, what made me decide against investing was the fact that such a high percentage of labour / sub-contractor costs (around 45% of revenues per the 2012 annual report). Seems to me that this is a highly labour intensive business and that will be continuously under pressure from increases in wages or government levies.

Does anyone have a view on this ? Can the business be more automated to counter wage pressure ?

I felt the same but had an epiphany when a friend pointed out that one of its major competitors is Sembawang Corporation, a GLC loaded with corporate overheads (somebody has got to pay the salary of all those high flying blokes in strategic plans, corporate communications, corporate governance, risk management, knowledge management, etc etc).

It remind me of the old joke:

Steve and Mark are camping when a bear suddenly comes out and growls. Steve starts putting on his tennis shoes.
Mark says, “What are you doing? You can’t outrun a bear!”
Steve says, “I don’t have to outrun the bear—I just have to outrun you!”


Recently vested after the year end FY results and still in the process of building a meaningful position.

Cleaning and waste management company.

20 year track record, only 1 of 4 licenced by NEA to do public cleaning.
Share just ran up because of analyst report release.

Fundamentally I think it's sound and still good value for long term holding?

Management commit to 20% dividend payout, if they can consistently push thru the 10 mil earning a year, this is interesting

From NEA website:

Any idea on the big rise recently? Seems like colex valuation is better? 800 super trading at around PE 9 while adjusted PE of colex will likely be abt 7 ..

[smile67]

from annual report, really like the company. only floating share is too less and once you hold, you may stuck for 1 year. even 50cts still looks atractive

Should worth more if there's consolidation from 4 players to 3. Afterall, the waste collection is currently being consolidated by NEA - from 9 sectors to 6.
