On a balance of probability, probability's explanation sounds plausible.

the most logical explanation for Koon's leaked 'special message' is this:

- Koon had actually been selling the shares last 2 weeks or more
- Koon is aware that his selling was the sole reason it dropped below 1.50

as such, he is fully aware that the current fundamentals, deserve a price way better than 1.50....

and he is willing to help his whatsapp 'friends' this way..

knowing also, one fellow will share it outside the group to further boost the price...

good luck guys - for prosperous 2019! in 9 months!!

Special thanks to David's Analysis of Dayang . I think his analysis with facts and figures leaves very little doubts on his valuations of Dayang .
Even with huge discounts in terms of PE and Future Cash Flow , the valuations by both methods show Dayang worth of more than RM 2 . When Q1 result show our assumption is correct , Dayang will fly further . I hope more readers can critique his analysis and open up a constructive and lively debate on the assumptions .

Orderbook. Current orderbook stands at RM2.9bn including Pan Malaysia Maintenance, Construction and Modification (PM-MCM) contracts from different PSCs. Apart of from existing contracts, Dayang is expected to receive additional lump sum work orders from clients. We understand there are also some variation orders (VOs) that have been carried out last year. All the VO costs have been recognised last year and its profits will be booked in 1HFY19, pending client approval.

..................

It could be extra costs which took place beyond the agreed schedule rate and subject to customer scrutiny before agreeing on the value.

Since it is executed without a prior agreed contract due to urgency or mishaps (procurement of material to facilitate the intended services), the revenue recognizable are subjective to customer agreement.

It may be accounting requirement that these extra costs are recognized as it is executed without a contract in hand.

It is very well possible for Dayang to execute this way knowing Petronas is their key long term customer based on trust.

Poll shows businesses prefer GST over SST

The Edge Financial Daily

April 03, 2019

https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/poll-shows-businesses-prefer-gst-over-sst

KUALA LUMPUR: Slightly more than half of the respondents surveyed (54.6%) by the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) indicated that the goods and services tax (GST) is a more preferred tax system than the current sales and service tax (SST).

This is particularly for the manufacturing sector. About 74.5% of respondents from the manufacturing sector preferred GST over SST — as exports are zero-rated and the sector is eligible to claim input tax. Under SST, there is no complete relief for exports. Companies cannot claim input tax under SST, except for manufacturers who deal with exports.

With the exception of the manufacturing sector and trading companies, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in most other sectors rated SST as the preferred taxation system, as SST only imposes tax at a single level compared to GST where the tax was imposed at every level, from manufacturers to wholesalers, retailers and consumers.

Meanwhile, about 41.5% of the survey respondents said that the SST has adverse impact on their business, mostly in the manufacturing and construction sectors. This is despite SST exemption being granted to main building materials and construction services.

In contrast, 52% indicated that SST has no impact on their business. Among them are from wholesale and retail trade, professional, business services and real estate sectors.

On the impact of SST on input prices, the respondents said the input prices have increased by more than 10%. The majority of them were SMEs in the wholesale and retail trade sector and manufacturing sector.

About 64.5% of the respondents in the wholesale and retail trade sector indicated an increase in the input prices, this was followed by the manufacturing (64%) and the construction sector (61.2%). For those who incur higher input prices, 66.1% of them have increased their selling prices, according to the survey. About 53.5% of respondents in the wholesale and retail trade sector indicated that they have increased their selling prices. This also followed by the construction sector (41.5%) and the manufacturing sector (39.5%).

all the above (6 items ) are basic consumption of humans (necessities)...

the supply line is just meeting the demand...but the consumers who create the demand are forced to be blind on quality...as they have no saying/demanding power due to their income perhaps.....

they lack the knowledge to demand quality perhaps...

perhaps its a matter of character we cultivate...

we have europeans who talks about organic food...and asians who dont mind eating a veg colored with a green dye...

why the difference in expectation?
.................................

perhaps it all boils down to the culture we cultivate to the children - the future generation...to accept the kind of life they want and create...

measuring quality is a very difficult task....like you said its complex...

now days every single thing in life has deteriorated in quality...

- the chicken , veg, fruits you eat..
- the house you stay..
- the car you drive
- the teachers
- the friends..
- the relationship with family, spouse, kids etc..

if you look carefully , all of them had increased in terms of QUANTITY...

(especially the first 5, look at the number of friends you have via FB and whatsapp, and number of teachers, houses and food choices)....

but decreased in terms of quality

I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING VERY DIFFICULT TO GET IN A CAPITALIST SOCIETY!

.................

punter..as a millenial...i am surprised you could come up with such a beautiful article...

the above statement is very true...and there is a fundamental reason to the above phenomenon.....its simply due to:

multilayered organization structure
.............................

the top managements sets KPI to middle management and the mid management to the engineers...these KPIs (key performance indicators)...naturally does not cultivate quality....as the results of quality cannot be realized - measured or proven within a short time frame unlike cost cuttings & rise in productivity (production qty)..


its something like quantitative vs qualitative valuation

Another valuation method is using Discounted Cash Flow (DCF). Based on past 3 years records on average cash flow generation of 294 mil, let's assume the average cash generated per year in future is 250 million (~10-20% discount), the discounted cash flow per share per year is about 26 sen.

...........................

Using above data from David, which takes the average of last 3 years (under depressed market condition), i think we can use PE 10.....to derive TP of 2.60.

reason being i see its depreciation need and maintenance capex would be almost nil going forward.... its assets which are not utilized can be disposed to generate cash....
