Question for the stock guru's...
With a div yield of > 7and a P/E of 10, a P/B of 1.2, the current price would seem a bargain... esp considering that drop in profit last year is attributed to the election impact on revenue.
Is this not a bargain based on foondamentoes?
Anyone with a PDF copy of the financial report?

Anyone with a PDF copy of the financial report? When a stock is cheap, you buy! You don't start asking why its cheap as if markets are rational creatures! Mark 12:29
Deuteronomy 4:16

Does CABL use irony & steel as raw materials? Some funny taxation was thrown in during the latest budget.... $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Its like they will control over 90% after the exchange with Aureos but my take is that Transcentury will look for a stretegic investor in running E.A. Cables. My only question is, why would Aureos give up its stake in E.A cables and opt for a share swap with Transcentury (Aureos know more about ea cables than us), meaning they believe more in the performance of Transcentury.

@jawgey that is April 2013 article.... thought they made a loss in 2013 and yet to factor in sale of thier stake in RvR which will be in 2014 report. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Yes @Angelica you are right it is a past article but I wanted to highlight the fact that Transcentury reduced its reliance on e.a cables for profit growth. So probably e.a cables is not a good venture in the near term. Seeing is believing

Fact that they are establishing additional capacity and the drop in sales is attributed to political transition challenges (remember banks have a steep increase in NPL's from pending contractor bills, etc. Would this not mean good prospects for the business and ultimately for the stock??

It is only in RVR where Transcentury did not reap, in other ventures they have done extremely well. This guys are very strategic, civicon will be creating a market for E.A cables through the construction of power lines. In short the whole thing is an integrated business.

The main point from Tranny's change of perspective on cables is that they don't foresee a lot of profits/dividends coming from the company esp considering they are on an expansion spree,-i read somewhere that they acquired a piece of land in industrial area to set up shop- they might not be willing to give out divs in the near future instead they will plough back the profits and probably bring in a cash call. The demand (since its currently discounted) might push up the share price but in terms of returns to investors it might take quite sometime. Seeing is believing

It would seem that this was a sleeping giant... and even though he is waking up, I dont think that he's fully awake: there's still potential. No??
