History KAWAN FOOD BERHAD has more than 40 years of production


experience.It all started more than 40 years ago at a modest family-run business that
made and sold home-made traditional pastries to local groceries and supermarkets.
The founders took great pride in work, baking and packing the food with love and
care. While the food was sold fresh on the same day it was made, business was
nevertheless limited to geographical locations that were not too far away; any further
and it would have been difficult to ensure the food stays fresh throughout the
journey! By the mid-1980s, however, as the business was gaining a steady lead in
the local market, there was the inevitable need to expand beyond Malaysia shores.

liability
5.04 x 4.82 x 5.36 x 7.08 x 8.79 x

The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that is used to calculate a company’s ability to
meet its short-term debt and obligations, or those due in a single year, using assets
available on its balance sheet. Kawan Food’s current ratio increases from 2018 to
2021 which indicates that the liquidity position was somewhat strong and it shows
the company’s ability to convert its assets into cash to pay off its short-term
liabilities.
2.1.2 - Quick ratio

=Current asset - Inventory/Current liability

Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

liability
5.04 x 4.82 x 5.36 x 7.08 x 8.79 x

The quick ratio represents the extent to which a business can pay its short-term
obligations with its most liquid assets. In other words, it measures the proportion of
a business’s current liabilities that it can meet with cash and assets that can be
readily converted to cash. The quick ratio is also known as the acid test ratio, a
reference to the fact that it’s used to measure the financial strength of a business. A
business with a negative quick ratio is considered more likely to struggle in a crisis,
whereas one with a positive quick ratio is more likely to survive. Kawan Food’s
quick ratio increases from 2018 to 2021 which measures the company’s ability to
pay off short term obligations without relying on the sale of inventories are much
stronger.
2.2 - ASSET MANAGEMENT RATIO

2.2.1 - Day Sales Outstanding

= Account Receivable/ Average Daily Sales


Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000

daily sales
165 days 162 days 151 days 150 days 198 days

Days sales outstanding (DSO) is a measure of the average number of days that it
takes a company to collect payment for a sale. DSO is often determined on a
monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.To compute DSO, divide the average accounts
receivable during a given period by the total value of credit sales during the same
period, and then multiply the result by the number of days in the period being
measured. In the year 2021, the DSO of Kawan Food was 198 days which indicates
the customers, on average, are not paying the their bills on time and the credit
manager of the company should take steps to collect receivables quicker.
2.2.2 - Fixed asset turnover ratio

= Sales/Net fixed asset


Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000

Sales 196,282 199,985 214,087 254,703 251,770


Fixed Asset 236,463 249,827 252,185 254,185 246,047
0.83 x 0.80 x 0.85 x 1.0 x 1.02 x

The fixed asset turnover ratio (FAT) is, in general, used by analysts to measure
operating performance. This efficiency ratio compares net sales (income statement)
to fixed assets (balance sheet) and measures a company's ability to generate net sales
from its fixed-asset investments, namely property, plant, and equipment (PP&E).
The ratio of Kawan Food has increased from 0.83 times to 1.02 times from 2017 to
2021 indicating that it is using its fixed assets at least as intensively and seems to
have about the right amount of fixed assets relative to its sales.
2.2.3 - Total asset turnover ratio

= Sales/Total asset

Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021


RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000

0.60 x 0.59 x 0.63 x 0.71 x 0.65 x

The asset turnover ratio measures the value of a company's sales or revenues relative
to the value of its assets. The asset turnover ratio can be used as an indicator of the
efficiency with which a company is using its assets to generate revenue.
The higher the asset turnover ratio, the more efficient a company is at generating
revenue from its assets. Conversely, if a company has a low asset turnover ratio, it
indicates it is not efficiently using its assets to generate sales. Therefore , in the case
of Kawan Food, the asset turnover ratio indicates that it is not generating enough
sales given its total asset from 2017 until 2018 and also from 2020 to 2021.
2.3 - DEBT MANAGEMENT RATIO

2.3.1 - Debt ratio


= Total Debt/Total Asset
Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

Assets
5.45% 5.43% 4.90% 4.15% 4.09%

The debt ratio for a given company reveals whether or not it has loans and, if so,
how its credit financing compares to its assets. It is calculated by dividing total
liabilities by total assets, with higher debt ratios indicating higher degrees of debt
financing. Debt ratios can be used to describe the financial health of individuals,
businesses, or governments. In the case of Kawan Food Sdn Bhd, from 2017 to
2021, the debt ratio decreasing each year raises a green flag and this will not make it
relatively costly for the company to borrow additional funds without first raising
more equity more. Creditors will not be reluctant to lend the company more money.
2.3.2- TIE

= EBIT / Interest Expenses

Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000

Interest
0 0 1,024 659 658
Expenses

0 0 14.99x 48.58x 55.70x

Times interest earned ratio measures a company's ability to continue to service its
debt. It is an indicator to tell if a company is running into financial trouble. A high
ratio means that a company is able to meet its interest obligations because earnings
are significantly greater than annual interest obligations. Times-interest-earned ratio
for Kawan Food Bhd indicates that the company will not face difficulties if it
attempted to borrow additional money because the interest covered for each year
keeps increasing.
2.4 - PROFITABILITY RATIO

2.4.1- Operating Margin

= EBIT / Sales

Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

18.37% 14.62% 7.17% 12.57% 14.56%

The operating margin measures how much profit a company makes on a dollar of
sales after paying for variable costs of production, such as wages and raw materials,
but before paying interest or tax. It is calculated by dividing a company’s operating
income by its net sales. The operating margin of Kawan Food Bhd decreases from
2017 to 2019 which indicates that the company’s operating costs are too high and it
increases from 2020 till 2021 which illustrates the company is getting better and
efficient in its operations and is good at turning sales into profits.Thus, in the year
2021, for every RM100 sales, the company is making RM14.56 EBIT.
2.4.2 - Profit Margin

=Net Income / Sales

Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

14.83% 11.40% 5.61% 10.86% 12.62%

Profit margin is one of the commonly used profitability ratios to gauge the degree
to which a company or a business activity makes money. It represents what
percentage of sales has turned into profits. In the year 2017,for every RM100, the
company was making RM14.83 profit. The profit of the company slightly decreases
until 2019 due to heavy use of debt. This might be also due to the company’s high
operating costs. In the year 2020, the profit margin again increased, for every
RM100 , the company was making RM12.62 profit.
2.4.3 - Basic earning Power

=EBIT / Total Asset

Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

11.04% 8.6% 4.5% 8.8% 9.53%

The Basic Earning Power Ratio (BEP) is a measure of the company’s efficiency at
producing earnings relative to its assets. The basic earning power ratio formula is
simple and takes Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) and divides it by Total
Assets. The BEP ratio can demonstrate the business’s ability to generate adequate
profits over the long term by reviewing several years to assess the company’s
efficiency and earning trends. Simply put, BEP is a quick health check on the
company’s profitability. In the year 2017, for every RM100 asset, the EBIT of
Kawan Food Sdn Bhd is RM11.04 but it drops until the year 2019 because of its low
turnover ratios and poor profit margin on sales. Eventually, in the year 2021, for
every RM100 asset, the EBIT of Kawan Food Sdn Bhd increased to RM9.53.
2.4.4 - Return on Assets (ROA)

= Net Income / Total Assets

Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

Assets

8.91% 6.7% 3.51% 7.67% 8.26%

The asset turnover ratio measures the efficiency of a company's assets in generating
revenue or sales. It compares the dollar amount of sales (revenues) to its total assets
as an annualized percentage. Thus, to calculate the asset turnover ratio, divide net
sales or revenue by the average total assets. From 2017 to 2020, asset turnover ratio
of Kawan Food Sdn Bhd indicates that the company is not using its assets efficiently
and may have internal problems because it decreases. In the year 2021, its ratio
increases a little, for every RM100 assets, the return on the assets was RM8.26.
2.4.5 - Return on Equity (ROE)

= Net Income / Total Equity

Years 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000

15.18% 7.3% 3.8% 8.26% 8.9%

Return on equity (ROE) is a measure of financial performance calculated by


dividing net income by shareholders' equity. Because shareholders' equity is equal to
a company’s assets minus its debt, ROE is considered the return on net assets. ROE
is considered a gauge of a corporation's profitability and how efficient it is in
generating profits. The financial performance of Kawan Food at its best in the year
2017 because of the ROE was higer compared to other years, the reason could be
due to the company's management being more efficient at generating income and
growth from its equity financing.

current share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS). The price-to-earnings
ratio is also sometimes known as the price multiple or the earnings multiple.P/E
ratios are used by investors and analysts to determine the relative value of a
company's shares in an apples-to-apples comparison. It can also be used to compare
a company against its own historical record or to compare aggregate markets against
one another or over time. The P/E ratio of Kawan Food was relatively high in the
year 2019 with strong growth prospects and little risk.

of a company is the market price of one of its shares multiplied by the number of
shares outstanding. The book-to-market ratio is a useful indicator for investors who
need to assess the value of a company. The M/B ratios of Kawan Food typically
exceeded 1.0 which means that investors are willing to pay more for stocks than the
accounting book values of the stocks.
3.0 - FINANCIAL PERFORMANCES ANALYSIS OF
F&N SDN BHD

Current assets of the company are higher compared to the current liabilities thus the
current ratio is more than 1 and it increases every year from 2018 to 2022. It is a
desirable situation to be in since it shows that the company is highly capable of
repaying its short term due loan within one year due. The primary reason for this
increase is built-up of cash and cash equivalents and other assets from 2019 to 2022.
From 2018 to 2022, the quick ratio has increased from 1.3x to 3.9x which means the
company proportion of a business's current liabilities that can meet with cash and
assets that can be readily converted to cash are high. A quick ratio that is too high
could mean that a business is sitting on too much cash and not investing or growing
enough but giving the company cash lower in 2022 compared to 2018. This also
shows that the company could pay off its current liabilities without selling any
long-term assets
The inventory turnover ratio calculates how frequently inventory is bought and sold
over the course of the complete fiscal year. This ratio is crucial for the business and
the investors because it shows how well the company converts inventory purchases
into final sales. From the decreasing ratio from 2018 to 2022, it shows that the
company holds too much inventory even though the sales is higher. Faster product
sales result in more efficient inventory management. It is therefore necessary to have
a proper plan in place for increasing inventory turnover ratio by focusing on
improved sales or reducing the blockage of cash on a stock.
The DSO of the company had increased for the previous 5 years. The economic
condition due to the pandemic might be the factor that their creditors are taking more
times to pay their debt. A high DSO signifies that the company is taking longer to
collect payments from creditors, whereas a low DSO demonstrates frequent and
prompt payment collection. DSO can be utilised to some extent to evaluate the
creditworthiness of the creditors; for example, if the creditor delays the collection,
one could infer that they are under financial hardship. This consequently affects the
company's cash flow. A DSO of more than 45 days is regarded as high in a typical
circumstance.
The total fixed asset turnover is getting lower each year means the efficiency the
company uses its resources overall is decreasing. The fixed asset turnover ratio
measures the company’s efficiency in utilizing fixed assets to generate revenue. If
the ratio in 2018 is 2.35 , it indicates that the company utilizes its fixed assets
efficiently. The return on capital would likely be higher in such cases, and it is taken
positively by the investors and lenders. Meanwhile in year 2022 the ratio is 2.00. Not
much difference so it is safe to say that the fixed assets are well utilised. It may have
made a significant investment if the ratio is excessively high or low. It might be in
the process of acquiring new assets, an expansion is already under way, or full
capacity is not yet operational.
Because the denominator in the equation is larger while the numerator remains the
same, a company's asset turnover ratio will be lower than its fixed asset turnover
ratio. Conceptually speaking, it also makes sense that the difference between sales
and total assets is greater than the difference between sales and a subset of assets.
Because they want to have the best understanding of the performance of their capital
investments, manufacturing companies frequently prefer the fixed asset turnover
ratio over the asset turnover ratio. Companies with fewer fixed assets, like retailers,
might be less concerned with the fixed assest turnover ratio than they are with the
utilization of other assets like inventory.
From year 2018 to 2022, it shows that debt ratio under control. If the ratio greater
than 1 then considerable amount of company asset are funded by debt which mean
the company has more liabilites than asset. Year 2021 is the most good year of the
company’s debt management by 0.22% and from the year 2018 which s 0.31% it has
gotten better. However, the ratio has increased again to 0.29% on the year 2022.
Overall, the company ratio below than 1 that a greater portion of company asset is
funded by equity.
The company that has a times interest earned ratio greater than 2.5 is considered an
acceptable risk.meanwhile if a company less than 2.5 are considered a much higher
risk for bankruptcy or default. For year 2018, the company has to pay RM27.15 for
each tax paid. For year 2019, the company has to pay RM117.00 for each tax paid.
For year 2020, the company has to pay RM107.64 for each tax paid. For year 2020,
the company has to pay RM150.81 for each tax paid. For year 2022, the company
has to pay RM78.24 for each tax paid.
From 2018 until 2022 there is slightly got some changes. Operating ratio shows how
efficient a company management is at keeping cost low while generating revenue or
sales. the smaller the ratio, the more efficient the company is at generating revenue
vs expenses. In year 2018, for every RM100 sales, the company is making RM10.92
EBIT. In year 2019, for every RM100 sales, the company is making RM13.07 EBIT.
In year 2020, for every RM100 sales, the company is making RM13.11 EBIT.

In year 2021, for every RM100 sales, the company is making RM11.61 EBIT. In
year 2022 for every RM100 sales, the company is making RM10.16 EBIT.
Net profit margin is typically expressed as a percentage but also can be presented in
decimal form. it just illustrates how much money in revenue collected by a company
convert into profit. . In year 2018, for every RM100 sales, the company is making
RM35.70 profit. In year 2019, for every RM100 sales, the company is making
RM31.07 profit. In year 2020, for every RM100 sales, the company is making
RM30.85 profit. In year 2021, for every RM100 sales, the company is making
RM28.91 profit. In year 2022 for every RM100 sales, the company is making
RM26.27 profit.
It is normally refers to a financial ratio that indicates how profitable a company is in
relation to total assets. most of expert use ROA to determine on how efficiently a
company uses its asset to generate profit. a higher ROA means the company more
productive and efficient to generate more profit while lower ROA indicates that
some part need improvement. In year 2018, for every RM100 asset, the company is
making RM41.00 return. In year 2019, for every RM100 asset, the company is
making RM36.00 profit. In year 2020, for every RM100 asset, the company is
making RM35.00 profit. In year 2021, for every RM100 asset, the company is
making RM33.00 profit. In year 2022 for every RM100 asset, the company is
making RM28.00 profit.
This is a measure of financial performance calculated by dividing net income by the
shareholde equity. The higher the ROE, the more efficient it company management
generating growth and income. ROE vary based on industry or sector in which
company operates. In year 2018, for every RM100 equity, the company is making
RM60.00 net profit. In year 2019, for every RM100 equity, the company is making

4.0 - BENCHMARK / PEER ANALYSIS BETWEEN
F&N SDN BHD AND KAWAN FOOD SDN BHD

4.1 - LIQUIDITY RATIO

4.1.1 - Current Ratio

A healthy current ratio is normally between 1.5 and 2, but it occasionally depends on
the sector of the economy in which the business operates. The company can meet its
short-term obligations if the current ratio is strong, or anyplace above 1. They are
better equipped to pay off debts if the ratio is larger. Hence, from this statement it is
shown that KAWAN FOOD BERHAD has a better and strong ability to pay off their
debts to the creditor. Although the current ratio of F&N increases from year 2018 to
2022, it’s ratio are far left behind by KAWAN FOOD BERHAD. KAWAN FOOD
BERHAD has been making tremendous strong ability through the past years to meet
it’s obligations to pay off it’s debt.

4.1.2 - Quick Ratio


Companies are more prone to maintain larger quick ratios when the business
environment is unclear. The quick ratio should be kept at relatively low levels in
situations when cash flows are predictable and constant. Even the highest ratio of
F&N can overcome the lowest quick ratio of KAWAN FOOD BERHAD. From these
point of view, it could be that KAWAN FOOD BERHAD is investing too much that
it does not have that much inventory to be hold. The optimal standard quick ratio is
1, which indicates that the business is unable to cover its immediate current
obligations and could result in technical solvency. In order to ensure that the ratio is
above level 1:1, one should take action to lower the investment in the inventory. In
addition, this quick ratio shows us the company’s ability to pay off short-term
liabilities using receivables and cash & cash equivalents is better with KAWAN
FOOD BERHAD.
4.2 - ASSET MANAGEMENT RATIO

4.2.1 - Day Sales Outstanding

Based on the analysis among Account receivable and Daily average sales , we can
conclude that both companies having same analyze report..A high DSO number
suggests that a company is experiencing delays in receiving payments, which can
result in a cash flow problem .A low DSO indicates that the company is getting its
payments quickly. That money can be put back into the business to good effect.
Bases on the analysis on DSO we can conclude that for company Fraser & Neave
Holdings Bhd (F&N) have improving on the collection starting from year 2019 to
2021 as the the company getting its payment within 54days on 2019 compared to
2018 it delays to 57 days and on 2021 the collection period reduce more into 45days
but unfortunately the collection get delayed to 71days on 2022. Furthermore , the
company Kawan Food Berhad face the same issue as on 2018 the collection period
is about 162days way more better than 2017 about 165days to get the payments and
on 2019 and 2020 the collection period reduce more to 151days to 150 days but at
last the payment get delayed again on 2021 about to 198days.

4.2.2 - Total fixed asset turnover ratio

Based on the analysis of sales over net fixed assets , we can conclude that Kawan
Food Berhad company’s efficiency in utilizing fixed assets to generate revenue
greater than Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N) . For the company Fraser &
Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N) in 2018 the ratio about 2.35times which the company
utilizes its fixed assets efficiently but from the year 2019 to 2020 the use of fixed
assets decrease siginificantly from 2.32times to 2.29 times and they utilized it back
on 2021 about 2.34 times and its flops on 2022 about 2.0 times. Meanwhile for
company Kawan Food Berhad they utilize its fixed assets thoroughly about
0.83times to 1.02 times from 2017-2021 . A higher turnover ratio is indicative of
greater efficiency in managing fixed-asset investments, but there is not an exact
number or range that dictates whether a company has been efficient at generating
revenue from such investments
4.2.3 Total Asset Turnover

Based on the analysis on sales over total assets , we can conclude that Fraser &
Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N) efficiently using its assets to generate revenue
compared to Kawan Food Berhad. It clearly shows in the analysis of total turnover
ratio of Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N) about 1.16 times on year 2018 and
2019 the turnover of assets to generate revenues but the turnover decrease
significantly about 1.13 times to 0.99 times on year 2020 and 2021.Meanwhile , the
ratio surprisingly increased about 1.23 times on 2022 which shows their concerned
with assets to generate revenues whereas Kawan Food Berhad, the asset turnover
ratio indicates that it is not generating enough sales given its total asset from 2017
until 2018 about 0.60times decreased to 0.59 times and also from 2020 to 2021
decreased drastically about 0.71times to 0.65times. Conversely, if a company has a
low asset turnover ratio, it indicates it is not efficiently using its assets to generate
sales.
4.3 - DEBT MANAGEMENT RATIO

4.3.1 - Debt Ratio

Simply from the results of total debt and total assets , we can try to conclude that
Kawan Food Berhad performed much better than Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd
(F&N) . It is because Kawan Food Berhad company has less reliance on debt for
asset formation and is less risky compared to Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N) .
Also, from the analysis we can conclude that F&N company assets are funded by
debt which means the company has more liabilities than assets. Consequently, if we
look at the current ratio for both companies, it turns out that Kawan Food Berhad`s
debt management is better than F&N. By data analysis , F&N company in the year
2021 is the best year of the company’s debt management by 0.22% and from the
year 2018 which is 0.31% it has gotten better. However, the ratio has increased again
to 0.29% on the year 2022 which clearly shows the poor management of debt and
they have more liabilities than asset whereas Kawan Food Berhad from 2017 to
2021, the debt ratio decreasing each year from 5.45% in 2017 to 4.09% in 2021
raises a green flag and this will not make it relatively costly for the company to
borrow additional funds without first raising more equity . The management team at
Kawan Food Berhad was more effective at managing their debt with sufficient
funds. The strategies adopted by Kawan Food Berhad were much more successful
than those of F&N, and it is Kawan Food Berhad which can make a good reputation
to creditors for more business.
4.3.2 - Times Interest Earned

Based on the analysis of Earning Before Interest Taxes and Interest expenses , we
can try to conclude that Kawan Food Berhad company`s performance much better
than Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N). It is because Kawan Food Berhad
company is able to meet its interest obligations because earnings are significantly
greater than annual interest compared to Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N) .
Also, the from the analysis we can conclude that F&N company`s ability to continue
to service its debt greater than Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N). Furthermore if
we scrutinize at the times interest earned for both companies, it clearly shows that
Kawan Food Berhad has an undesirably low level of leverage compared to Fraser &
Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N). Kawan Food Berhad on 2017-2018 have no any
interest expenses but surprisingly from year 2019 to 2021 the ratio increased
drastically from 14.99 times to 55.70 times interest charges with its pretax
earnings.This indicates that Kawan Food Berhad will not face difficulties if it
attempted to borrow additional money because of the drastic increase on yearly
interest. The Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N) company considered an
acceptable because the data shows on 2018-2022 increased 27.15 times to 150.81
times interest charges from its earnings but unfortunately the ratio flop until 78.24
times in 2022 this can clearly advise the lower times interest earned ratio means
fewer earnings are available to meet interest payments
4.4 - PROFITABILITY RATIO

4.4.1 - Operating Margin

The operating ratio shows the efficiency of a company's management by comparing


the total operating expense of a company to net sales. An operating ratio that is
decreasing is viewed as a positive sign, as it indicates that operating expenses are
becoming an increasingly smaller percentage of net sales. For KAWAN FOOD
BERHAD, the operating margin are decreasing each year meanwhile for F&N it is
not stable. Between these two companies, t is safe to say that it is doing a good and
better job in managing it’s company expenses. It is because a higher ratio would
indicate that expenses are more than the company's ability to generate sufficient
revenue and may be considered inefficient.

4.4.2 - Net profit ratio

The net profit ratio indicates how much net income a company makes with total
sales achieved. To compare between the both companies, it is shown that F&N has a
higher net profit ratio compare to KAWAN FOOD BERHAD. The highest ratio for
KAWAN FOOD BERHAD is during year 2017-14.83 % meanwhile the highest for
F&NBH is during the year 2018 – 35.70%. A corporation is more effective at
converting sales into actual profit if its net profit margin is higher thus making
F&NB is more performing in it’s selling point. The success of a corporation in
making a profit on each ringgit of sales is measured by its net ratio. All elements that
affect profitability, whether or not they are managed by management, are included in
net ratio. A corporation is more adept at controlling costs the higher the ratio.
4.4.3 - BEP ratio

The purpose of BEP is to determine how effectively a firm uses its assets to generate
income. The BEP ratio is simply EBIT divided by total assets . The higher the BEP
ratio, the more effective a company is at generating income from its assets. From
both companies calculation of basic earning power, it is known that F&N has a
higher BEP ratio compared to KAWAN FOOD BERHAD. However, the trend shows
that for F&N BEP ratio increases during 2018 to 2019 from 12.64% to 15.21% but
slowly decreasing from year 2020 to 2022 For KAWAN FOOD BERHAD, the ratio
has been decreasing from 2017 to 2019, 11.04 % to 4.5 % but increases during the
year 2020 and 2021 from 8.8% to 9.53%. The increases are maybe due to the results
from the increased profit on operating activities, This shows that assets profitability
of the F&N has a greater assets profitability of the assets.

income. ROE for the year 2018 of F&N is 60 % and KAWAN FOOD BERHAD for

making much profit during the years perhaps because of management not efficient or

Based on the analysis among stock price and earning per share, we can conclude that
both companies having same analyze report . A high P/E ratio could mean that a
company's stock is overvalued, or that investors are expecting high growth rates in
the future. As we can see from the price-to earning ratio , we can look that for
company Kawan Food Berhad based on stock valued on 2017 about 0.36 times
earning per share but the turnover dropped on 2018 and peak again on 2019 about
0.41times but unfortunately the stock value dropped drastically from 0.27times to
