Telco now is fierce competition and maybe heading towards razor thin margin to protect market share.
Thus, may have impact on the maintenance outsource to Binacom if Binacom demands the same margin for its services.

I think 20% return p.a is not quite possible.
Somewhere between 10%-15% is more realistic.

@ wingold

After reviewing it, you may be right partially.
The QR result decrease slightly year on year.

The improved profit was due to :
1. Unrealised foreign exchange gains of RM8.4 mil
2. Reversal of provision for foreseeable loss of RM3.1 mil

Not too bad though, it's expected to be better.

@ Halite

In my opinion, Ekovest is a good investment. The fundamentals are impressive. No doubt that it should do well for many years.
However, external factors had changed this counter's future when the government changed hands.
Since the new gov had all intention to abolished tolls, you can't deny that this has significant impact to the company.

In fact, whether it's the new or the previous gov, they seem to have their way in decision making whether the private sectors agrees or not.

Take the example of the case study of minimum wage salary rising from RM900 to the newly proposed RM1,500.
Do you think it has impact on the private companies especially those who runs their companies utilising thousands of local or foreign workers?
Of course it does but when the gov decides, everyone must accept it whether it causes lower profits or losses.

I think everyone here do not need to prove you wrong because the share price reflects the company's future prospect.
No offence to you and your investment strategy, just my humble opinion.

At least the selling pressure is off, slowly recovering back towards RM1.

@ Halite

Are you having a nervous breakdown that now you are talking to yourself?

If this week still no filing to Bursa regarding the buyback means it's just news to temporary boost share price.

@ RockyFox

What about Serba Dinamik?

If TS Wong knows his company has a bright future, he would not have sell it.

Food for thought: If you know that MYEG internally has some plans to tender for profit(eg: Say RM2-3 bil) income generating projects with the gov in the next 12 months, you would have buy up your own shares knowing that it would be worth more than RM3 in the future.

Looking at him sell transaction, reflects that his company has either no plans or even any contingency plans to salvage MYEG's remaining gov services if the gov decides to WITHDRAW all his services.

The best of all, when he step in the press media yesterday to defend the news of the termination of the existing rehiring services.

In other words, he is WORRIED.
He is very worried.

Anyway, if say buyback, then they should not sell any shares.

It's price was RM0.86 earlier when they mentioned that.

Well, at least it close above RM0.90.

MYEG IPO listed with market cap of ard RM100 mil.

Many had already profited from this counter even it drops to RM0.10

@ Lukesharewalker

Good point.

@ PlsGiveBonus

It's quite different.
MAS is owned by gov and MAS has huge assets where the planes net off depreciation are worth billions.

MYEG is privately owned and does not have much assets and almost 100% relying on Msia gov for contracts.
If gov axe all contracts, I doubt that there's any value left.

Normally, share buy back will be approved.

So far have yet to see any share buy back proposal shot down.

So far haven't heard anything for West Coast Expressway project which cost about rm5bil.
The government might be too busy with big ticket projects.

Both EPF and KWSP had been disposing.

Was wondering who is buying up?

Anyone knows if GKENT bids for overseas rail way project?

Yeah, no volume.
Not much direction or catalyst to move.

Touched rm0.60.
Hopefully, there's no more selling pressure.

@ WD40

There's one more project: Gemas-JB Double Tracking.
I'm not sure if this is priced in yet.

Next few months will be interesting to watch as each government department will review and evaluate whether to continue to partner with MYEG for its services.

Food for thought: Everyone know MYEG is highly profitable, and government department will definitely not want to miss out this opportunity to do it themselves.

@ Nikmon

Share with us on your breakdown of RM5.6 bil order book since you commented mine is wrong.
It's a discussion only.

@ Nikmon

You may not agree with what some of us is writing and it's fine but I hope you shouldn't be rude as I did not offend your post.
I'm adding on to what KLCI King had mentioned and he brought up a good point.


Anyway, my first point was correct. The LRT Ampang Extension project had completed in 2016 and all it's revenue was recognised.
That's why a VO was issued.

2. The VO was highlighted as in the article below.
3. The AR did state the inflated order book. So did the QR.
That's why some of us are disputing the order book mentioned in the AR & QR.



There are many AR & QR which are manipulated for creative accounting and there are many cases which lead to criminal case. Just to quote a case study: Transmile Group Bhd

@ xiaoji

No cursing from me.

Just to highlight the future prospect of this company.
Besides, Gkent has not replenished its order book for almost 2 years.
Many see the price collapsed as good opportunity to enter which is good but some of us just want to remind certain things before you proceed with your decision.

Looks like either the toll owners will likely get the following:

1. Government buy the toll assets and payoff bondholders , plus offer compensation
2. Government payoff bondholders, buy toll assets
3. Government buy toll assets

Using your list of order book.

I'm not sure which article from KLCI King you refer to but the orderbook breakdown should be as follows:



1. Ampang LRT extension (completed in 2016)
2. Hospital construction (RM364.9 MILLION + RM277,190,000), remaining:RM481
3. LRT 3 (6% fee of project progress billing: Gkent 50% portionof RM4.5 bil, net=RM270M till 2021
4. Provision of water meter to Hong Kong, Singapore (RM 28.72 million + RM31.19 million)
5. water construction (PNG Water Concession: + Binzhou Nanhai water supply project in Binzhou City, Shandong)(~RM40M till 2020)
6. MRT2 CCCC:GK , Gkent portion(till 2022) is 49% =RM491M (RM1,007,288,168.00 )

Based on annual report, the order book reflect the RM4.5 bil as the PDP 6% fee is based on project progress billing.
Thus, GKENT include it into its order book.

However, you're right that this figure inflated the actual order book value needed to be delivered by GKENT.

Good eye!
Hopefully, IB and analyst will highlight this clearly in their future analysis.

@ Nikmon

Well, sooner or later, when IB or analyst starts to put their revised TP, it will be reflected in the stock price.

The LRT3 portion for Gkent(50%) is only based on 6% fee instead of the entire project value undertaken.

Further to our announcement on 7 September 2015 and 23 October 2015 , the Board of Directors of George Kent ( Malaysia) Berhad (“GKENT”) wishes to announce the following in respect of MRCB George Kent Sdn Bhd ( the "JV Company") appointed as PDP for the Project :

This Announcement is dated 2nd November 2015.

PDP Fee= Revenue

@ brisket

Crude oil falls from USD140 at peak to USD30 lowest, many large oil & gas company scrapped their large drilling and exploration plans in view that it does not have much profit margin.
This will hit 2nd liner and 3rd liner upstream companies who provide services to them.

Sapnrg has both e&p and services since it is a merger between Sapura & Kencana.
Based on annual report, the company made much investment and purchases of equipment when crude oil was trading between USD90-USD120.
Thus, the huge impairment that has to be made which cause the massive losses to the company.

Currently, the company replenishment of order book is slow and company has many oil rigs staying idle.
But the company is slowly gaining the momentum recently, since the crude oil is trading above USD60 which helps to bring back some biz and hopefully some new tenders.

Anyway, still long way to go before it reaches back to RM4++, provided crude oil can stay above USD90 for 3-5 years.

@ erkongseng

Good job. Impressive analysis on Gkent.
The only concern is the future earnings.
No matter how great this counter's fundamental, without any future project to boost it's current orderbook, the counter is practically hopeless.
Since the last project(MRT3) award to Gkent was scrapped, it means almost 2 years without any project replenishment.
Hopefully, things will change.

Wow, this counter everyday heavy volume
