MIDF research reaffirmed high growth for healthcare product & services:

Due to rising demand for quality healthcare, government and private capital spending in this area will increase further in 2014. Government expected to allocate 22.1 billion ringgit for total health spending, private sector is expected to be 32.9 billion ringgit.

This will bring total allocation of 55 billion ringgit into the field, analysts expect this will further increase to 65.9 billion ringgit in 2016. During the 2011-2016 five-year NET annual compound growth rate (CAGR) is equal to 8.7%.

Medical equipment is potential "gold mine", the value in the field to feed 5.3 billion ringgit in 2015. Medical equipment accounting for 25% of the market share of healthcare globally.

To meet market demand, Malaysia healthcare providers are taking expansion plans over the next five years. Analysts believed continued good growth momentum in the field of health care.

Pemandu has developed a 5 years plan to boost healthcare product & services industry, part of the plan have been executed since 505, more to kick start together with Visit M'sia 2014 Initiative.

CHHB is in good position for this, but it also needs to do something with the debt level.

background of http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/1409965

The healthcare industry has become a powerful engine of economic growth, due to demographic shifts such as extended longevity and a rise in lifestyle diseases such as hypertension and cardiovascular ailments and diabetes. Malaysia’s spending on healthcare, at 5 percent of gross domestic product (“GDP”), is above our regional peers, and public spending is a disproportionate contributor to healthcare costs. Currently, the sector contributes to RM15 billion in gross national income (“GNI”).

Malaysia aims to grow three sub-sectors within healthcare: pharmaceuticals, health travel and medical technology products.
There is significant opportunity to move from a net importer to a significant player in the RM422 billion prescription and
pharmaceutical drug industry. Malaysia will also develop the more profitable medical technology sub-sectors such as medical devices, diagnostic equipment and healthcare information technology. Finally, Malaysia is aiming to bounce back in the attractive health travel sector to match the growth of its neighbours Singapore and Thailand. The Government’s goal is to migrate from primarily a lower-value product strategy to a more comprehensive product, services and asset strategy that better leverages our competencies.

The Government aspire to generate RM35 billion incremental GNI contribution to reach RM50 billion by 2020. The Healthcare
National Key Economic Areas (“NKEA”) is also targeting to welcome 1 million health travellers and conduct 1,000 clinical trials, all of which will result in approximately 181,000 new jobs.

hexza as a co. is good, no question. however, chem industry is red sea, believe market concern is limited growth in this sector plus TNB may boost cost again.

asserted (summarized) from KPJ latest report page 15:

The Malaysian segment revenue for 9 months ended 30 September 2013 has increased by 5%... higher revenue reported is due to the increase in revenue of the existing hospitals and newly open hospitals in the group.

The Indonesian segment revenue of RM28.5 million for 9 months ended 30 September 2013 is 75% higher than the revenue reported in 2012

The Aged Care Facility segment revenue for 9 months ended 30 September 2013 is RM27.6 million, 35% higher than the revenue reported in 2012

The revenue from Support Services segment of RM433.0 million for 9 months ended 30 September 2013 is 10% higher, compared with revenue from the same period in 2012

The healthcare industry is expected to enjoy continued growth... drivers are mainly from population growth, rapid ageing, the rising of middle income and health tourism. The Group will continue to strengthen its presence in Malaysia and Asia by continually building its capacity through the expansion of existing hospitals as well as building new hospitals.

good result with div announced: http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/business-news/265337-kpj-healthcare-net-profit-falls-42-yoy-for-3q.html

prospect side, on the water sector,the Group is hopeful and remains committed to supporting an imminent resolution to the restructuring of the water services sector in Selangor...as this matter has been long outstanding since 2008.

http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/business-news/264855-al-aqar-healthcare-q3-pre-tax-profit-increases-to-rm1473-mln.html

LTHB, another furniture co. focus in Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore
and Thailand, reported revenue up 26%, profit up 48% QoQ. beside increasing order and improve production, strengthening of USD against RM a bonus.

the pattern is quite clear for that many reported result so far.

year end Christmas and New Year will boost consumer sentiment in EU and U.S, this year should see better revenue than last year as both region has recovered much (e.g. consumer index). for MY furniture industry, the currency is one additional BIG ang-pow. v will c very soon, hang on!

LOL... 35914.52% increased in net profit!

given the reason, looks general though.

The rating agency revised the outlook on the four banks because of its view of rising economic risk for banks operating in Malaysia, given the prolonged run-up in housing prices and household debt in Malaysia.

fr the mb respond above, clearly no point for puncak & gamuda to hold on to water assets another 5 years, without state gov corporation nothing can b done juz like the past 5 years. if this is pure biz (too bad is not) one can consider a done deal

good result, higher revenue & profit: http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/1474393

understood, the whole deal is indeed complicated. if gamuda gets kesas, almost certain will agree to water deal with no further demand. hope for the best & tks

chelseazola, gamuda gets kesas?
