Sim Lian Group - My CNAV Analysis

Recently, when I did a stock screening on the stocks with dividend yield higher that 6 % (plus other criteria), Sim Lian Group (S05) is one of the non-REITS stock came in the top few. Of course, as constantly reminded by peer financial blogger friends, we should not focus too much on the dividend yield alone (which I totally agree). Hence, this post when I dig in further...

Sim Lian Group engages in the property investment and development, and building construction activities in Singapore. It also develops residential, industrial, and commercial projects; and leases investment properties. In addition, the company trades in industrial and marine lubricants; and leases, services, and maintains construction and industrial equipment and parts, as well as mobile sanitation facilities. Further, it engages in the design, consultancy, installation, maintenance, and related import and export sales of offshore module; and investment, development, operation, and management of real estate and real estate related assets.

Sim Lian Group is not a CNAV stock but still worth a second look for potential INCOME play.

Note : Do You Own Due Diligence!

P/S:

I've learnt this not-difficult-to-do calculation from the Value Investing Mastery Course (Big Fat Purse) last year. Immediately after the one day course, I am on my own to calculate the CNAV myself. With the help of the idiot-proof spreadsheet (provided free after the course), it makes calculating the CNAV a breeze.

Oh, by the way, they are still conducting the one-full-day Value Investing Master Course at $98, which is unbelievable. From what I know, most of their classes, which usually happen on the weekend, are fully booked. So, if you are interested to learn more about Value Investing and how to calculate the CNAV, you should find out more from the horse's mouth!
