Good news for YTL coal fired power project in Indonesia which is adding more coal capacity despite global warming. This company not environmentally friendly?

https://news.mongabay.com/2021/11/cop26-cop-out-indonesias-clean-energy-pledge-keeps-coal-front-and-center/

Let’s see, hopefully they will turn around. If you had invested 5 years ago you would have lost 64% of your capital.

This counter needs a miracle.

I agree this change will help, but if this is so it will show just how reliant the counter is on friendly politics.

@telurgoreng It’s not just about dividend payout

YTL Corporation Berhad shareholders face the double whammy of a high net debt to EBITDA ratio (9.2), and fairly weak interest coverage, since EBIT is just 1.1 times the interest expense. This means we'd consider it to have a heavy debt load. Even worse, YTL Corporation Berhad saw its EBIT tank 23% over the last 12 months. If earnings continue to follow that trajectory, paying off that debt load will be harder than convincing us to run a marathon in the rain. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine YTL Corporation Berhad's ability to maintain a healthy balance sheet going forward.

Another trend to look out for - asset write down risk related to coal fired power plants

Yes possibly BJ Corp 2.0

Vaccines may not save this counter. Long term support broken.

YTL shares declining for years. Everybody hoping share price saved by HSR, then cement, then construction, then politics, then economy, now digital banking license, what next?

Yes agree, but what else to expect?

May as well privatise everything.

Next QR should be out in less than 60 days unless YTL ask for another extension.

Assuming 4 sen div 60sen and below is fair price. Especially given 50% capital depreciation Over past 5 years.

Growth in revenue is not the measure. It’s profit, cash, dividend etc. What’s the point having growth ‘balloon’ if you are losing money?

YTL Corp’s 4Q net loss widens to RM252m on lower revenue

On prospects, YTL Corp said the impact of Covid-19 in the longer term cannot be accurately estimated, as there are still significant uncertainties on how and when the pandemic can be contained and for full business activities to resume.

YTL Corp’s share price slid 3.5 sen or 4.96% to 67 sen today, for a market capitalisation of RM7.14 billion. Year-to-date, the stock has fallen by 32%.

At this rate company will end up being privatised again.

@DannyArcher you are right. Look at share performance since past 10 years. If you had invested in 2015 you would have lost 50% of your capital by now.

Unless ppl think they will lose their capital

Surely stock will eventually recover.

YTL gonna need HSR contract

Investors should also be troubled by the fact that YTL Power International Berhad saw its EBIT drop by 14% over the last twelve months. If things keep going like that, handling the debt will about as easy as bundling an angry house cat into its travel box.

HSR will save this counter? Debt still high. Other projects delayed or produce lower margins. Hope you are right.

Let’s hope Good113 correct and div saves price decline

Jordan power project delayed by 2 years + Wessex Water earnings decline. Target price lowered to 70 Sen from 80 Sen.

No thanks. I prefer wallstreet analysis on this company than local YTL promo.

YTL share price decline 50% over past 5 years.

but now what?

Contract RM 4b over 15y but company still manage to bill RM 3.8b in 8y. So company do well out of it.
